He's lame for complaining about market economics. He might as well complain about the price of milk.

You're lame for spending so much time obsessing about your rival school.

I'm pretty obsessed with BYU and never knew until just now this issue on the alleged # of trick plays Tulsa ran against BYU more than a week ago...

What's the issue anyway?

the trick play issue ...that was an article linked from CB...there were a number of CBers that had complained about losing to Tulsa because of the "Gadget" plays that Tulsa ran. I clicked on one, and then found the other article.

don't take it too personal. you're not a bad ute fan. just misguided.

i was asking what the issue on the tulsa game was--hadn't heard that one--the cheap byu fan thing was pretty obvious.

I guess some fans had claimed that the only reason Tulsa won was because of the use of trick plays.

It's always weak to use the trick play excuse. Plays are plays. Every play is a trick play. The offense never lines up and says, "we're going to run a sweep. See if you can stop it." All offensive coordinators try to pass when the defense is expecting run. Oklahoma fans bitched about Boise's trick plays. Weak, weak, weak.
