Haha!

Boylen, you're team got schooled, plan and simple, and the Pokes put an exclamation point on it. Switch the roles and you would be defending your players as competitive athletes.

What does Boylen expect? Everytime a team plays the Utes the team is to take into account the Ute's feelings and make sure they don't do anything that might upset their fragile egos? This isn't kindergarten.

He's now insisting on an apology from Wyoming for the alleyoop dunk that closed out the game on Saturday.

"Well, we don't have those kind of instincts around here," Boylen said. "So, we'll see them again -- that's what's great about league play. But, you know, we're going to run our program with class and we're going to do it right."

In my book, Boylen lost all "class" when he came out with his "Whipped cream on a turd still tastes like s_ _ _ " comment. I can't believe more people (i.e. media) didn't call him on that "classless" comment. I guess after having Majerus as the head coach, crude language and comments such as Boylen's are the expectation and accepted as normal.

With regards to the Wyoming dunk,Utah was still pursuing and attempting to trap the Wyoming player in the corner. I think CougarPeasant already mentioned that in that situation, Utah players need to back off as well. I'm sure that had Utah not been pursuing, there would have been no dunk.

I'm sensing that the wheels are already starting to fall off of the Boylen Bandwagon. I wonder what Ute message boards are saying about this? I don't take the time to look at other boards but I would be interested in somebody else's response.

Senseless Short Term Reaction - Boylen

Worst Excuse For "Rubbing It In" - Schroyer "It was a heat of the moment thing - Hey, Heath, the game was OVER. The heat was already GONE.

Best Long Term Strategy - Rose "Forget it and move on"

My plan of action (not the best though).... Save the memory for a future game. There will be plenty of times to "get even" with physical basketball play. What goes around, comes around......!

This seems to make sense...

Thanks Slugger, this made my day!!

I would much rather have an opponent throw down a sick, meaningless dunk at the final horn then have an opponent claim they only lost because of the refs, and not because of anything their own team did/didn't do. That seems much more insulting/degrading to me.
