@dana_greene I don’t like complaining about refs but Houston is allowed to be extra physical with BYU every meeting and it’s never consistent the other way.
English
Kevin Young was not happy with the way the game was called in BYU's 73-66 loss to Houston Thursday night in the Big 12 Tournament.
English
@CougarAlbo @GlassHalfUte yeah I gave your team kudos bruh. Just saying it’d be nice to be in the bonus for the majority of the game and make the other team defend differently/bench guys in foul trouble. even if it’s a better officiated game byu likely wins, as they should with that roster. Geez

@BartleKSLsports Fouls:
BYU: 5
Utah: 11
Free Throws:
BYU: 14
Utah: 6
Big12 refs gotta keep giving byu a generational whistle (especially for AJ)

MTO 3:36 - Utah 32, BYU 32
After a pretty rough outing against Kansas State (clearly limited health wise), Keanu Dawes has been much more assertive. He's got 9 points and 3 rebounds so far.
Steve Bartle@BartleKSLsports
MTO 8:00 - Utah 24, BYU 23 Don McHenry is cookin! He's hit back to back 3's and has scored or assisted on 12 of Utah's last 17 points.

@BartleKSLsports @UtahMBB This is awesome. But they really need a big…gotta add some rebounding and rim protection

Alex Jensen & @UtahMBB get an early Christmas gift, adds another top international prospect, Lucas Langarita, who will join the program immediately. kslsports.com/ncaa/utah/luca…

@UteFanIvan I don’t know why Tech or BYU fans would be upset by where Utah is ranked. It helps both of those teams.

@Bigmacmurph @ccrawesome He’s a dawg but he’s also played UTEP, McNeese, & 1-2 Air Force team at home. He faired well at A&M, but a lot of his stats were shaped by garbage time of that game too. He’s also 24. Ludwig wasn’t the best at QB development, and I’m glad he’s doing well. But apples to oranges
English
@ccrawesome I do think he’s grown leaps and bounds this past summer under Mendenhall. He looks so much better than last year. I think Utah poured so much energy into an injured Rising that Barnes was never really given the chance of developing during his time at Utah.
English
The University of Utah misuse of Bryson Barnes needs to be studied.
English
@ScottyGZone Reading through these two threads… a lot of BYU fans are definitely “pick me” kids that can’t comprehend anyone getting attention but themselves. Policing the local media like this? Yikes. Then another fan tagging AP voters? Some of these people are psychotic.
English
I'm not sure why that tweet was so difficult to understand. It was sent before the game kicked off and was about all the love that Utah was getting nationally about the environment and excitement that was created leading up to kickoff.
Yes, did all that excitement end suddenly after kickoff? Sure. But that's on the team. The fanbase did their part to create a great collegiate atmosphere leading up to the game.

@ScottyGZone I realize you have to say this to keep listeners, but exactly why do they deserve it? They haven’t won a Big XII home game, they played like “poo poo” last year, and they haven’t beaten anybody, yet, this year. They got exactly what they “deserved” today…an 🫏 kicking.

@TheMUSS @MUSSemeritus @BartleKSLsports what’s with the weird gap in the front of the MUSS every game? Looks horrible
English
@AMarkham_UN BYU is a much better position than UCLA unless you get a godfather offer from UCLA. Now that BYU has so much money going into their athletics department from donors, it’s hard to run out on that position.
English
BYU is in a MUCH more stable position to keep Kalani now, but I stand by what I’ve said all along. Now that Scalley is the “Head Coach in Waiting” at Utah, it will be easier for other teams to get Sitake to listen to them more seriously. However, UCLA is tough to take seriously.
Sean Walker@ActuallyDSW
BYU coach Kalani Sitake on being a potential candidate for head coach openings, as he was over the weekend after UCLA fired DeShaun Foster following the Bruins' 0-3 start 👇

@ATrueMillennial Matthew, it’s reprehensible what happened to Kirk, and any normalization of such an act is abhorrent. I think it’s also important to acknowledge the rhetoric from Trump & other conservative pundits about the state rep from Minnesota, Paul Pelosi, the arson on Shapiro home. (1/2)
English
People are taking the online hatred into the real world. Now, one of two things will happen now:
We could have a return to normalcy like we did after the 60s: the Hitler comparisons die down, we break some online echo chambers, and everyone agrees to keep it above the belt.
Or this could become the new normal: the echo chambers harden, suspicions grow stronger, and Americans stop talking to the "enemy" on the other side.
I desperately hope we can conquer our online outrage addiction, but I worry we don't have it in us to change. I pray to God I'm wrong. /end

This week, half the country discovered that a sizable chunk of their fellow citizens literally want them dead. My "quiet Conservative" friends and family are in shock to see their fellow citizens dancing on Charlie Kirk's grave and celebrating his murder because he was an open, religious Conservative. 1/
English
@JazzePinkman Glad you are safe. What a horrible day. Just reprehensible.
English
I’m in shock. I was way closer than I originally thought
Hug your loved ones and never take a single moment for granted. Show respect to everyone, no matter their race, religion, or beliefs.
Love you guys
English
@Joshua_Newman Josh, if I remember correctly, this is your ideal kickoff time.
English
Texas Tech-Utah, the Big 12 opener for both and the first big litmus test for the Utes, is a....................10 a.m. local kickoff at Rice-Eccles? Am I reading this correctly?
LOL.

@foxonabox_ Crazy how people thought they were smarter than over a dozen Nobel Prize winning economists. The MAGA movement is just, “nah all the smart people are wrong cuz they’re part of the establishment” whatever that means. It’s a perpetual cop out
English
@foxonabox_ I’m not sure people get the joke that it’s the first home game and he’s helping get the stadium ready for the fans. Almost like one of those old Sportscenter commercials with the athletes in the office. The joke is just flying over people’s heads.

I don’t get why people are hating on this video. It was a funny quirky way to reveal the uniform. I don’t know what y’all were expecting?

@tua_PIK @jkimballcook Evidence shows that a state's frequent and ostentatious displays of military power can signal weakness rather than strength. Such behavior can reveal underlying political or military vulnerabilities & is used to project a desired image of power to internal and external audiences
English
I'm against using troops for everyday law enforcement but don't think "looks like a scene from handmaid's tale" is very meaningful when the people are just wearing handmaid's tale costumes
Jennifer Bendery@jbendery
A DC resident shared this photo she took at Union Station yesterday. Looks like a scene from the Handmaid's Tale, but no, just another day of Trump's militarization of DC right now. #UnderHisEye

@UTEISH @WhittsBurner Don’t forget them gator-rolling Isaac Wilson and the dirty tackles
English
@WhittsBurner A couple blatant PIs that weren't called too. Seemed very spiteful.
English
@jkimballcook You need the cultivated areas to appreciate the uncultivated areas. The Wasatch front was pretty barren and undesirable when people first moved here.
English
counterpoint: the most beautiful parts of Utah are the uncultivated places
Ryker@RykerJackson97
No one thought Utah was beautiful until we put in years and years of work cultivating it, beautifying it, and building civilization there. Had we stayed in Missouri or Nauvoo those places would be some of the best in the country and Utah would still be a blighted hellhole.
