Nate Cooper should die of gonorrhea and roast in hell...Utah at byu

[Mormon Red Death]

Saturday Night.... 11pm EST 9pm mst on the Deuce in Provo

The all time series is 129-128 for the good guys. Utah has won the last 4.


These teams have played some epic games in the past and neither team is all that good or bad this year. Utah (7-2) will be an NCAA bubble team most likely NIT and finish middle of the PAC12 while the orem 7th ward (8-2) is picked for 3rd in whatever rinky-dink conference they play in. I know all about Utah's teams strengths and weaknesses but as for the byu I know they have some surprise transfer (hardnett (sp?)) who has lots of tatoos and can actually shoot. Other than that they have a bunch of white guys with bad haircuts.


So I'm up for watching a late night rivalry game that's close to 3000 miles away where both teams are just ok. Oh and for your viewing pleasure:

great thread title

with four seniors starting, I'd hoped that the Utes would be a little better on the road, but other than a 10 minute surge in the first half at Butler, Utah's looked blah. I think BYU wins this one on a late field goal 82-79

Twitter told me that our performance vs. USU means that the Cougars will run us out of the building.

Is this the game they've been waiting for to wear hard hats and make fun of Larry? They've been talking about this for years now.

They might run us out of the building - we aren't great. But I think it will be close.

Knowing nothing about BYU basketball, I checked their stats:

Screenshot 2017-12-12 10.03.30.png

I see an 8-man rotation. Scoring from Bryant, Childs, and Haws. Childs with 9 rpg and 2.4 bpg! Was the jury still out on whether we missed on him? We missed on him. A strong rebounder would be so nice.

I don't know anything about Bryant, but he gets 16 ppg, 6 rpg, and 2 apg. Shoots 42% from outside, 86% from the line. Was he on the team last season?

Bryant, Haws, Cannon, and Seljaas all shoot over 35% from outside (though Cannon has only played in 4 games - injury?). Hardnett is right behind them at 33%. So, maybe five guys with a green light to shoot from outside.

Only one guy over 6'8", but three 6'7" guys get minutes. I feel like, with defending Collette, it's more about athleticism than height. If these guys can move, they can probably do a decent job against him.

That was me! And i thought that until I saw them play weber st without weber's starting bigs.

What does Twitter say regarding BYU's performance vs. Weber State? This game promises to be borderline unwatchable on the court and in the stands.

At least the victim blaming down in Provo extends to basketball players as well.

Nick Emery alone is responsible for his own actions, but your Ute brethren just don't see it that way. Apparently, according to several posters, not only is Emery not responsible for his stupidity, Larry isn't responsible for his behaviour either. This all goes back to, on this very message board, posters blaming BYU for Ute fan bad behaviour. Gosh, I bet all those targeting penalties and ejections this past season by Utah players is also, somehow, BYU's fault.

I must have missed the part where Larry was out of control. He did get red in the face when young punk was yelling obscenities at him, from two or 3 feet away.

Fortunately for Emery, there is no evidence of him ever having taking similar shots prior to this one exceptional occasion. No, wait....

But anyway, we all must keep in mind that Larry is the true bad guy in this whole story. Emery did nothing wrong. Even if he did something wrong, it pales in comparison in to Larry‘s disgusting behavior. Right?

[concerned]

This thread is just another reminder of why I would love to quit playing them altogether. Tooblue and the Y should not want to be associated with us; we are just bad people and will provoke them to come down to our level. They should want to be done with us. It isn't worth it on either side. this internet back and forth (a microcosm of the whole) isnt worth the effort. I just get tired of a fanbase telling me and people I associate with or root for are bad.

I agree with you for football. There isn't enough games to waste one on a game against BYU.


But there are a ton of basketball games and there really aren't enough good preseason games. True bloo doesn't believe the crap he's spewing right now. He's just trolling.

[Old Standing ute]

Next year FB at the end of the year, which will be weird to play a non-important game after the conference schedule. Only makes sense, if any, to play the FB game as a tune up for the conference.

they still have a half way decent BB program so it is a good test. And the crowd will be pumped up so it is good experience to play in places like that before Utes have to go to AZ, AZ St. , Ore. etc.

[Scratch]

I also enjoyed Emery claiming that he had been scratched by Taylor and posting a picture of scratches on his neck the next day, but if you go back to the game and look closely at his neck after the play there is nothing there. So apparently he went and scratched himself after the game to try to say that Taylor had done that to him.

I don't think anyone here is a bad person. I'm even related to one or two posters. I'll bet I've met many of you, or at least a brother or sister of yours, as many of us went to the same high school. Heck, I even go to games when possible, and almost always watch the Utes on tv, unless the game conflicts with watching BYU or it can't be found on tv because it's on some network nobody gets. I'll admit, I had to learn to like watching BYU basketball. A sports bigamist, I grew up watching and loving BYU football and watching if not attending Utah basketball games, while taking only a cursory interest in BYU basketball. But that all really changed when Ute fans, family included, became insufferable upon Utah's inclusion in the PAC 12, and especially so when you condescend as you have in your post above.

everyone knows BYU fans are morally superior, we couldn't possibly hold up to their shining example of humility and graciousness

sheesh!

I'm fully aware of the sanctimony that is prevalent in the BYU fan base. What I wasn't prepared for was the greater sanctimony of the Utah fan base. Now according North West Ute, that's all BYU's fault, because nothing is Utah's fault, or as we have learned, but is now I think being walked back, Emery's fault. Emery's actions were idiotic, it's unfortunate your head coach followed suit, but again that's who he is. I hope he somehow kept in check on Saturday.

I am either just getting older, or mellowing, or maybe a combination of both. I’m looking forward to tonight’s game for the fun of watching it. Maybe it’s because not much is at stake, but I don’t have that burning feeling in my gut that “We must beat these guys or it will just be a horrible evening.“ What is wrong with me?

I think you should write an epic poem about it. You can do it -- a few lines at a time. I will be patient.

I’ve never been good at poetry. Not enough pictures.

I think part of it is knowing that neither team is really a tournament team. The only thing at stake is our win streak.

I feel exactly the same way. In addition to the things you mention, i attribute it to my declining interest in college bb overall. With the exception of a frw conference games, i dont really care if i make it to a home game or not. I dont get that exited if we win or bummed if we lose. Totally opposite to my fb attitude.

It's true. The NBA's insistence on allowing one-and-dones, and separately, tons of outside money, have had a terrible impact.
