Whittingham obsession
We (collective BYU fans, not individual) are officially more obsessed with Whittingham than we ever were with Meyer or Majerous. I find it funny. I guess if nothing else it has removed all of the pathetic little brother posts from CB, since there is clearly no little brother in this rivalry.
Even here on CG we now are having to declare if we wanted Kyle or Bronco as some sort of test of faith, even though as was pointed out less than half BYU fans wanted Bronco when he was hired. KW has Utah headed in the right direction (I still believe in spite of Ludwig's inept coaching ability, but that is my own personal obsession). Bronco has BYU headed in the right direction. I think we are entering what are going to be some of the best years in the history of the rivalry. The fact that Whittingham spurned BYU (ethically or not K-Dog and others) only adds to the flavor. |

Reason for Obsession...
1. He was a former Cougar
2. He was the top choice for the BYU job 3. He is now coaching the arch enemy Utah Utes 4. BYU fans want bad things to happen to the Ute program although many profess to want or prefer a strong Utah team. By having Utah lose, BYU fans can feel important, carrying an aire of superiority while conversing with Ute fans who know that any efforts to talk smack would be met with a condescending smile. Is it really that hard to figure out? I mean just reverse the argument and talk about how obsessed Ute fans are with Bronco. The answers would be exactly the same sans the first two with Utah replacing BYU in the above list of reasons. DUH! |

He is now running an offense more similar to what Mac's teams ran. The first two seasons he was trying to run the spread option, which he had never run as a coach.

As I said in my original post I think we are heading into a stretch of what may be the best years of the rivalry. The last two have been great football games, and I would expect the same this year. I doubt there are many blowouts in the next few years. I like that giant emoticon, how did you do that? |
