THE MORNING AFTER PODCAST: Another chapter is written in the BYU-Utah rivalry | Utah AD Mark Harl...

[@alextemus]

Since when does an AD hold a press conference anyway? Coaches are required to wiat 10 minutes to cool off before a press conference, ADs shouldn't be allowed on the stand. It's not their night.

[@Uhtred-the-bold]

They don’t, he just went in there to crap on the conference that pulled them out of the PAC2 to save their asses!! I don’t care complaining about the refs, I get it, but trashing the conference after what’s happened is unbelievable. What a POS

[@tgray747]

Turns out Max Hall was right! 😂😂😂

[@staleydu1]

He was always right, never more so than Saturday night

[@davenichols4352]

The Utah players were classy but the AD was way out of line. Trashing the Big 12 the way he did was ugly.

[@cr3070]

Flipping off the refs wasn’t super classy by the players afterwards. Fan throwing a water bottle and knocking out BYU cheerleader coach as well. This was a top down thing.

[@alextemus]

yeah, the clownshow makes the players look bad, but they're the ones cleaning up fan trash on the field while their coach and AP are throwing tantrums. Feels bad

[@staleydu1]

Here’s an invitation to the PAC 12. I hear they need a team. Utah would be perfect for it

[@RohoSombrero]

Exactly. Players were fine. Utah’s administration and coaches have been disrespectful of BYU for over a decade. It’s what gives the fans permission to act like fools. Whit is mostly pissed that BYU finally got in the cool kids club after trolling them for years. Maybe now he at least knows who is rival is, even if he can’t say anything nice about them.

[@duane9166]

@@RohoSombrero I think Whitt and the players don’t like being in the Big XII with us but understand things could have turned out much, much worse. No one else wanted them except us. We wanted the rivalry back and it was join us or go back to being a G5 team. Just another momentous job in our awesome rivalry!

[@michaelbarrister429]

A guy who does a Big 12 podcast was at the game in the endzone and said he saw the hold very clearly.

[@trippint3883]

Drake Toll RULES!!!!

[@malaw514]

My understanding is that officiating crew white hat and most of the others came to the big 12 from the pac 12. Whittinghams just silly too. Comes out and says none of it is on the players… your offense bageled the second half and had 10 total yards on its last 3 possessions. But not on the players.

[@kendalldean9612]

Totally agree

[@roywall8169]

The Utes had 50 yards of offense in the second half. BYU strangled the Utes in the half. The only person who could get open was the tight end. The wide outs got zero separation the entire game. The wide outs only caught three passes the entire game.

[@aleniafuvai]

That is completely irrelevant. BECAUSE UTAH STILL WON THE GAME. 4th & 10 and sacked. GAME OVER.

[@birwinz]

@@aleniafuvai except there was a holding penalty

[@michaelbarrister429]

@@birwinz And he wants to ignore the phantom facemask call against BYU in the first half that resulted in a touchdown at the end of that drive. If you don't want the game to be decided on a penalty, do one of two things: 1) don't let it be that close in the end, and 2) don't commit a penalty on important plays.

[@Uhtred-the-bold]

That’s how Utah plays defense! You can’t complain when you get called for it. Retzlaff was looking that way, and if the DB didn’t grab his inside pad, the WR breaks off up or out and is wide open.

[@TiminBaguio]

@@aleniafuvaiC’mon man! Even the commentators acknowledged it was a hold. Play was designed as a quick throw to THAT receiver. The quick hold prevented the throw resulting in the sack. THEN the D didn’t stop a multiple big plays drive and the kicker made the kick. GAME OVER 😂

[@JonnyRay8]

Utah is classless

[@staleydu1]

Max Hall was correct

[@roywall8169]

Looking at how the AD and HC acted post game, I can understand why the Utes are in free fall. Zero class. No accountability. The AD must be fined, and a firing would not be out of line. If I was the commish, I would invite Utah to return to the Pac12. Having the HC throwing furniture in the press conference is also not acceptable. A suspension would be appropriate.

[@Colin-Fenix]

I’m sure the Big 10 is super impressed, I bet they call Harlan on Monday to offer the utes a spot!

[@duane9166]

I agree, the only time I’ve seen another AD interject himself was Pat Haden of USC who came down to the field once several years ago to harass the officials. That’s it in 44 years of too much college football fandom.

[@MichaelLindsay-uo7tg]

Fire Harlan suspend Whitt and send them back to the pac2

[@birwinz]

I believe they need a 8th team.

[@Colin-Fenix]

Force Whit to retire… would be doing the players a favor! Can’t wait to hear his insincere apology on Monday!

[@brandonl2555]

I want nothing more than to see whitt go out a loser. This year…next. It doesn’t matter. Personally my biggest gripe with Sitake is that he has so much respect for someone who disrespects BYU as much as whitt does. The difference between the 2 coaches, the 2 cultures, and attitudes of the 2 programs are a direct reflection of the leadership. I’m glad that those differences are finally showing on the football field. I mean look no further than the post game. Sitake takes off his hat out of respect and hugs Kyle saying “I love you” and Kyle more or less ignores it to chew out the refs. Kyle gets up there for his presser and says “well s%*t” under his breath. For Sitake’s presser he quotes Helaman. Those are your leaders. And it’s been that way for years.

[@duane9166]

Thanks. I didn’t know. Sad. Sigh.

[@danpiedra3910]

Coach Whitt said they played "lights out". Really? Perhaps in the first half, but not in the second half. When you generate 50 yds of offense in the second half, you will likely lose. Utah's D kept it closer than it should have been in the second half. Does playing "lights out" lead to zero point in 30 min?

[@lesnamingha6170]

Nice work, gentlemen!!!

[@kendalldean9612]

BYU did well to win this game but BYU is not playing well right now. These are major areas i would like to see BYU improve on: 1. Time Management - terrible and has been suspect all year having to use their timeouts because of substitutions seemingly getting on the field late or not knowing what they are supposed to do, 2. No tight end focus. BYU recruits all these 4 star tight ends and then doesnt feature them. Huge missed opty, 3. Seemingly no swing pass plays or bubble screens. Dont get it. 4. Over the middle screen pass play has not worked all year. Why do we keep running it? Honestly. I cant understand what Roderik is doing.

[@Uhtred-the-bold]

BIG12 fans finding out why everyone in the MWC and the PAC12 hated Utah. Max Hall was right 15 years ago and he’s still right today.

[@jacksonwatkins1667]

Utah is in serious trouble as a program and this weekend was the nail in the coffin

[@jayscott1380]

Oh how the mighty have fallen

[@duane9166]

And there’s a very strong chance they’ll lose out. Eight straight through season’s end.

[@MartinHughesmidimarty]

I understand that you can say some crazy things in the heat of the moment. But the Utes AD really should’ve thought through what he was saying before he said it. Even though he felt like they were robbed, doesn’t take away for the fact that they didn’t score for 3/4. And it doesn’t take away from what the BYU players did. One flag does not take away from what all the things BYU accomplished in the game

[@gayleperry6588]

Nice show

[@Colin-Fenix]

$40k fine and the ute fans will probably pay it for him! Classless!

[@josephsimmons478]

On the timeout, there was zero controversy. All that happened is that the crowd was so loud that the fans, half the players and half the officials did not hear it. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t called. Was clearly shown on TV.

[@tgray747]

Thanks for this guys love this show!

[@alextemus]

Utah really can’t argue penalties when they were gifted that facemask penalty instead of a 10-yard sack for their first TD drive, plus the SOFT roughing the passer on the next play. If anything, the refs are the only reason Utah had a chance.

[@michcoug]

Penalties called were 10 per team and yep some were questionable but you can't cherry pick the ones that work for you and ignore the ones that don't. I would imagine a hefty fine and message is gonna be sent soon ..........

[@tombadil64]

Besides, that hold was pretty clearly a hold. There's been more egregious ones in history, but if we're being honest it really was.

[@trippint3883]

Wow.... Hans just helps egg the Utah meltdown on.... it was straight up holding. If it was a short pass? The reciever was interferred with.

[@Pilotty]

That corner caught holding was a knucklehead. The pressure on Retzlaff up that point was unstoppable. You can’t give the ref the opening to make that call. Not to mention BYU got screwed over too in the second quarter.. it balanced out as far as officiating went. Throwing things on the field after is classless and disgusting. All you had to do was post 3 points in the second half and it was over. All around terrible look for Utah. Embarrassing even.

[@TroyBrock-o7w]

I really think the culture of the Utah program has deteriated the last couple years. This behavior from Kyle and Mark is not surprising to Cougar fans. For the last year or so, we've heard comments from both head coach and AD that are petty and entitled. It's one aspect of the team culture and has contributed to the losses this year.

[@dannydrew3685]

Really enjoyed this!

[@josephsimmons478]

Harlan was a complete clown and disaster

[@tjwright32]

Utes are welcome to leave! No other P4 conference wanted them. Their whole team is whining. Face the music. They held the receiver. No one is talking about the miss-call of the Glasker face mask that led to a Ute TD. He got the shoulder pad. BYU won!

[@elaineporter7675]

No l l l no poo I I know m

[@rafter17ranch]

😅I agree with Lloyd. That 1984 commercial is terrible. 🤮 (and I'm a BYU guy. )

[@SenorHomeslice]

So… did we hashtag RivalRight?

[@blairfbutler]

number 11

[@SB-ju8ki]

U of U to PAC! There is a reason that BIG 10 didn’t invite U of U to join! Not only do the fans disrespect opponents, Whittingham always runs the score up on opponents…total classless! The U of U players were very cool! However…It was clearly a HOLD!

[@drewmillz1]

Congrats to the cougars! Their defense locked down the Ute’s in the 2nd half. If I were a defender on Utah? I’m pissed at the coach for throwing us under the bus, after the offense was held to zero points for the entire 2nd half! lastly seeing Utahs AD tantrum out on the podium is the most satisfying visual for byu fans. That has ever happened in this rivalry.. 🤣🤣🤣 what an absolute pair of clown shoes..

[@jeffnelson7669]

Aren’t there fines for criticizing officials. Utah should be fined.

[@Colin-Fenix]

$40k

[@brettallen1440]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5Skgq2alJashpIsi=X3-bzMdY1Z5k8kNW Just in case we need to remember that calls have gone both ways.

[@Shaking_My_Head]

Mark Harlan thinks he’s Jerry Jones

[@russcunningham8725]

I don't have a dog in the fight. (Go Boise State) What I do have is a large disdain for the actions of this coach and AD. Embarrassing is a mild way to put it. Unprofessional. Cry baby. Ignore the bad calls that went their way and helped them. Ignore a shutout in the second half. Ignore the fact that the call was correct if inopportune. Terrible, terrible sportsmanship. Terrible look for the University.

[@trippint3883]

Harlans statement today? Look at the first sentence. Harlan is a crap hound. Its time for Harlan to go. Well past time. He's the guy that started all the Utah doesnt want to be in the B12 a year ago.... Kyle was caught as well making a short similar statement. The whole organization is classless....

[@cameron9643]

These guys are chumps. Utah got beat in the second half. How about the no holding call on their touchdown. It didn’t go byus way all game. I think the refs reffed in their direction most of the game.

[@birwinz]

The thing that caught me off guard was how closely that comment reflected a comment made years ago by a president who lost an election.

[@hfullmer2]

Well, red can’t win twice in the same week…

[@Uhtred-the-bold]

What happened to those 15 million votes anyways?

[@birwinz]

@Uhtred-the-bold how many fraudulent ballots have you seen? Seems like if they found fraud, we'd have a few of those. I can't imagine believing something like this and never seeing the proof. Believing something blindly makes one easily led astray. Contact me when they find the millions of fraudulent ballots.

[@jayscott1380]

Good question where did the votes go?

[@aleniafuvai]

Utah won that game. And anyone who says otherwise is dishonest

[@staleydu1]

Really? 22-21 you lost. You’re 4-5 and completely classless. Deal with it

[@tjwright32]

Just like your Rose Bowl losses. 😂

[@josephsimmons478]

Only in your delusional mind. Don’t hold, score once in the second half, stop a 60 yard drive after the hold where byu had no timeouts and back up lineman playing. Utah fans are acting like clowns. The reality is has had their backside handed to them in the Big12 after running their mouths all offseason. 1-5. Classless AD. BYU had one favorable call the entire game and upon review it’s a hold. Utah had a favorable call on the imaginary facemask that never happened.

[@jayscott1380]

That's not what the box score suggests. BYU won the turnover battle, gained more yards and don't forget the kick off return for TD. So they won the special teams too.

[@russcunningham8725]

Funny, as a fan of a different team in an entirely different conference 🤪🤡 I'm embarrassed by proxy for anyone who is a Utah fan at this time. Tell you what, you give back the facemask and then maybe have your team score once in the second half, then maybe this doesn't become a clown, cry cry, poor sportsmanship post. maybe.

[@joeguerra8435]

Utes Nation. The Big 12 needs you more than you need them. You need to get back home to the PAC. I hope the Utah decision makers are in back door discussions with the PAC decision makers on how to get you back to the PAC. Go PAC! GO COUGS! ❤️🩶❤️🩶❤️🩶
