All this talk about "class"
All this talk about "class" makes we want to puke.

Karma will probably catch up to him someday and someday Wyo. will have its revenge but, for now, he's the ass-kicking sheriff in town. He didn't cheat. He pressed his advantage and showed a little nasty. If someone has a problem with that, don't whine about "class." Strap it up and beat his team. The knock on these KW teams has been that they've let up on opponents (see: Louisville '07). Not this time. I liked the killer instinct I saw on Saturday. I think it's a big step forward for KW - he's shedding some of that "nice guy" image. In 1968, Woody Hayes' Ohio State team scored a late touchdown while leading Michigan comfortably. Hayes went for a two-point conversion. After the game, when asked why he had elected to go for two, he said, "Because I couldn't go for three." That's the attitude I want in the guy coaching my favorite team. |

It's not my nature to want to humiliate the opponent, but I believe that far too many who are condemning KW in this never competed athletically after high school. Not only is the talent much better at college than high school, but the competitiveness also increases, perhaps at an even higher rate. The more competitive one is, the more he's likely to take an off-hand comment from an opponent and try to shove it back in the guy's face. Coaches aren't much different than the athletes when it comes to that kind of stuff. |

I have a twisted sense of humor and this just makes me laugh. |

Folks just don't see coaching Division I college sports (or pro sports for that matter) as a real job, because as fans, we are entertained by what they do. Perhaps folks should start filling up lecture halls on college campuses throughout the country to cheer or taunt the instructor and his students, but I can't see 40,000 folks willing to pay money to watch that, as it might not be as entertaining as seeing 20 something year old kids pound the hell out of each other. |

But all of the sound and fury over KW's kick and Glenn's bird are further evidence that it was a bad idea. Utah played an outstanding game but that is not the focus of all of the post-game discussion. Not just on message boards, but in the media as well. |
I hate folks who whine about RUTS. I'm not a big believer in game planning to fail either (i.e. just running and not passing at the end). Put in the backups and continue to go balls to the wall.
Jack Pardee at Houston used to RUTS. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame, but before he because HC at Univ. of Houston. Whittingham may be sending a message "we are the bad boys of this league, and I'll be damned if you can punish us for it." I respect any man who shows complete disdain for Univ. of Wyoming. In fact, I have no problem if Utah RUTS against BYU. It's good for college football. Because next year there will be a lot more buzz between Utah and Wyoming. |
