Gotta love the headline:
BYU announces basketball facility upgrades in quest to stay nationally relevantRose downplayed the fact that his new contract, which will take him through the 2019-20 season, was announced a day before the facilities upgrades, but Senior Associate Athletic Director Brian Santiago did not."They are tied together, and we wanted to make a loud statement of our commitment to the excellence of our basketball program, and how committed we are to stay nationally relevant and chase our dreams of a national championship," Santiago said.

Jake Toolson does his, uh, thing
When you have only three wins in the last 12 games, and they were all close "miracle" wins, you have to make them the subject of song, story and myth.

Speaking of living right on and off the field, someone close to the BYU program (a BYU homer in their media universe) confirmed that Bronco knew all about the Charles West charges before signing day.
The joy of this year has convinced me more than ever that we should not schedule them anymore in football. I really like our focus being elsewhere. This past season was a lot of fun. I would rather just ignore them.
Boy, the Utah media would have never shut up about it had Whitt not made Shreve wait a year.
I am pretty close to being there too. A little surprised about that.

Our focus elsewhere? You mean like Northern Illinois and San Jose State?
Sorry, but this mindset is flat-out dumb until we get more quality opponents in the non-conference schedule, unless you're OK with getting Baylor-ed in that rare year in which we go 12-1 and get shut out of a playoff. Bottom line, without Michigan and the power of TV, we never take a break from playing BYU in the first place.
Yep. I would rather play this years and next year's schedule every every than ever play the Y again. No upside, too mush distraction. We can get other Power 5 home opponents. Sorry to be dumb however. I will keep trying to be as smart as you.

I'd much schedule Utah State or Boise State
You're all are so full of sh** your eyes are brown. Simply posting in this thread undermines and contradicts any insistence that even one of you never wants Utah to play BYU again. lol Here's a challenge for y'all and the Board Oligarchs: If it is truly the wish of the smattering of Utah fans posting here, to never play BYU again, then close this thread permanently. Delete it in it's entirety. Or, in the words of a famous tv ad from yester-year: wash that BYU man right out of your hair.
Until that happens, Utah and it's fans, including every poster on this site will never be anything more than "little brother."
I see no connection between the existence of this thread and the desire to never play BYU again. I favor playing BYU, but I have at times wanted to not play BYU simply because I dislike BYU so much. It would hurt BYU to not be able to play us, and I usually support whatever hurts BYU.
You keep telling yourself that. You might start to believe it one day ...

Until we win the south, the PAC-12 and get shut out of the playoffs, worrying about our OOC is pointless.
OOC only helps if you have 0-1 loss at the end of the year.
I'd rather go 10-2 with a weak ass OOC than 8-5 with an all world OOC.
Step 1: Schedule 7 home games every year.
Step 2: schedule weak ass OOC games.
Step 3: win 10 games every year.
Step 4: get top 25 recruiting classes every year.
Step 5: win the South
Step 6: win the PAC-12
Step 7: get a top 10 recruiting class once every 4 years.
Step 8: win more PAC-12 titles.
Step 9: get shut out of playoffs.
Step 10: worry about your OOC strength.
We are soooooooooooooo far away from needing a tough OOC. We need 2-3 home OOC games much more than marquee OOC home games.
I'd rather play FCS, WAC, MWC OOC and have 7-8 home games every year than play Michigan, BYU and Illinois and only have 6 home games.
Smart programs schedule 7 home games every year. Let's be smart.
I've never seen South Pacific. My wife says it's horrible.
I'm not sure I understand your point. You don't think it's reasonable for someone to (1) post in this thread and (2) prefer to not have BYU on a football schedule? Your world must be full of fun imaginary contradictions.
I'd like to see a B12 opponent instead. My son, however, wishes ill will on BYUP and would like them scheduled yearly.

What are BYU and Utah fans supposed to do? Not talk about their longtime rival? Not enjoy their rival's losses? That takes place on every sports message board. You're not making much sense.

BYU fan delusion is so funny. It's prevalent in pretty much all of them, too.
Because we have a thread discussing the team that half the population is a fan of, and gets at least half of the local media coverage, and we have a long (and lopsided in our favor) rivalry with, that means we secretly want to play them?
I have news for you buddy, I'd much rather not have them on the schedule.
Utah's schedule is plenty tough enough without them. It's really nice not having to deal with their delusional fans. Your post in here reminds me of just how terrible it is to deal with the delusional BYU fans every year.
Let them scramble to fill a schedule, then act like their team is the greatest ever when they can't even beat a P5 team that wins a bowl game. They don't need us for that.
It's much more fun to laugh at them from an outsider's perspective, which is what this thread is. I like that much better than them dragging everyone into their crazy, delusional world with them. Even if we punk them on a regular basis so we pretty much own their world when they drag us into it, I'd still rather just occasionally peak through the window to laugh at them while never making contact.
I'd still rather play them for selfish reasons. I still watch college sports to be entertained. I want to continue to pretend that it isn't a big business. I want the Utes to do well, but I don't want to chase a championship at the cost of taking the fun and personality out of the game. The long time rivalry adds that fun and personality. Is the 5-interception-by-Max-Hall game at the end of the 2008 season less fun and memorable if it was against Colorado? Does 54-10 mean anything to Ute fans if it is a road win against Oregon St?
Any year we are a good enough team to be chasing a championship in the PAC 12, having BYU on the non-con schedule will be a roadbump.

Well, little brother kicked the shit out of BYU on it's home floor this year. I know because I watched it on TV. Were you able to watch the game?
"Don't apologize; it's not your fault. It's my fault for overestimating your competence."
Look at the masses, frothing at the mouth ... anxious, overwhelmed, excited and antsy. Desperate to demonstrate poise in the face of their pitiful, pious pandering to the deep seeded insecurities brought to a boil, just under the surface. What a glorious spectacle. Long live the rivalry, and the games to be played—you all should be saying joyfully. For without it, Utah is nothing more than the new Oregon State.
