Anyone man enough to own up to wanting

what's the whole story? sounds like you have a juicy tidbit of info.

I didn't know there was a rule against Ute smack here. Silly me, I thought only CB had moronic rules.

I really wish Jefe would fight fair instead of trying to annoy us like this.

Kyle and BYU had an agreement done but had not reduced it to a formal writing. Both had agreed on all terms. Kyle got a call from the U while the contract was being prepared. He returned to the Y and told them that the U had offered a little more money and he wanted the Y to match. BYU told him that they already had an agreement with him and they expected him to honor it. He said he wanted more money and knew they could pay it. They told him to pound sand. Bottom line, Kyle reneged on his deal with the Y. The U didn't outbid the Y. The Y refused to modify a previously agreed on contract.

In Kyle's defense, I would have done the same thing. This sort of gamesmanship (if you can call it that) is exactly the way large M&A deals are done, at least when there is an auction process.

i just imagine you writing these types of retorts and then saying - "you just got zinged!" "Uhhhh.. the name's Dave Clinger, but my friends call me Dave "Zinger", on account of my awesome, awesome zings!"

Maybe if Utah Dan could come up with a better response besides "this belongs on CB," my response would have been more acceptable to you oh mighty Ute. But he instead chose to ignore the valid criticism of your jackass coach. Come on Yewtards, has this ever happened in the history of college football? A team kicking an onside kick up 43-0?

I also love how your coach and team act like Glenn's comments were akin to calling their mothers dirty whores or something.

IF the contract is settled, the contract is settled. Trying to renegotiate with people you will work with is dirty pool. Coaching football isn't and M&A deal.

yewtards = another zing from the zingmeister!

i agree it was overreaction, but your obsession with it is overreaction as well.

You are amazed Bronco didn't fall on his face because of this?
