Exactly. All of the Utah fans who can't manage to get excited about their own team can easily get very excited about USC and UCLA.

Uh, huh :roll:

The talk wasn't focused on Utah, it was focused on PAC-10 expansion, and there was actually more talk about how and why BYU didn't get an invite than about Utah, sorry.

All good posts must come to an end. Only the truly great posts seem to survive. :-)

What Whittingham did would happen at any school across the country even if it isn't an arch-rival player watching. The fact that it was an arch-rival would give him more cause. Nothing classless about it.

Ummm, there are former players from both schools who are in the sports media now and several attend other teams' practices.

Ummm, welcome to college football. Head coaches have the right to, and do, remove anyone from a practice if they feel they need to. I guarantee you that Ohio State would not allow ex-Michigan players to watch closed practices even if they are in "the media". Same for Texas-OU, Florida State-Florida, Auburn-Alabama. Same if it was any other team but much more so for hated rivals.

But leave it to BYU fans to play the victim card again over something that happens everywhere. :lol:

Who's playing the victim card? No one here is claiming victim status, just people pointing out how paranoid whittingham is and how stupid the situation is. What's so special about day 1 practices anyway ... Are we going to learn their secret warmups?

You're mistaken tmoney, eastern spends a lot of time scouring the internet, but it's not about other schools. It is about anti-BYU stuff, and IF he has time after that, he will look up Utes football.

Kyle learned from the best, right??? Mr. Class himself.

There is a huge difference between rivals at other institutions where coaches will routinely do anything to win including recruiting violations(The entire SEC), video-taping(Patriots) , and headset monitoring (SMU?) and what BYU does.

We pride ourselves on being different and we sell character development, Strength, Spirit and Honor. BYU doesn't even talk football with new recruits. Now whether we actually do or not, can you imagine the PR disaster if BYU was caught spying on the :utard: secret warm-ups? A program focused on character and "righteousness" would fall apart on a cheating scandal in a way that no "W" would ever warrant. Winning is just not worth that much to Bronco and even if the opportunity fell in Bronco's lap to cheat, I think there's little doubt in most people's minds he would turn it down.

I'll admit I have no idea if BYU cheats. But I just don't see it. Not even close (koolaid anyone?). I think much more likely it shows that Whittingham thinks BYU's integrity is a sham and that we're all hypocrites. And that kind of disrespect for someone trying to do the right thing is odd and paranoid.

I disagree. I think it shows more about Kyle, and that he thinks that since he would do it, everyone else would too. It is more a reflection and projection than anything.

Just like players from every other team in the country would say the same things about their rivals as Max Hall said.

Where was this perspective last November?
