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.
His own words:
"... he wanted to end the BYU series partly because he was “protecting myself from myself.” He added, “I don’t know how I would come across with our players in the week leading up to the BYU game, maybe with a little bit of the toxin and venom that I have inside me. It puts me in a bit of a quandary.”
"Don't apologize; it's not your fault. It's my fault for overestimating your competence."
The face of evil:
Starting about 6:38, coach talks about himself as a player.

I hate to say it but you are right. We've all seen the video evidence and that was a man out of control. I'm convinced now that Emery is the real victim here, and that light swatting, as gentle as a kitten, was his only defense from Kodiak mauling him on the floor. Thank you Nick Emery for taking the fall in all of this and shining a light on the true character of Larry. I expect Chris Hill to fire him tomorrow.
Any truth to the rumor that Emery has been acting as Cosmo this year? that dance video that went viral just shouts Nick Emery's footwork.?
Opening line Utah +6.5

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 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.

Sounds like Tillman is out with a sore foot. Stage is set, Coogs.

Not good when we have Tyler Rawson trying to be our top offensive threat.

Collette - never seen anyone so consistently get into foul trouble for nothing.
My thoughts.
Our team blows, period, especially now without Tillman. Collette has no help defense and his footwork/step-overs can only work against young, overly eager players. Barefield had such a promising start, but just hasn’t done much as of late. Rawson…although a bit better than last year, can’t seem to perform against decent D1 opponents. A bunch of tall, slow, not-that-skilled big players.
