Haws will not attend Utah; you don't know Marty at all if you think that.

Thanks for the info. I felt it was a legitimate question because it was the DJ and PK radio show that acted like Haws was very friendly with the Utah coach.

With DJ being so anti BYU and PK being so biased as to elude almost all credibility, why would anyone believe their bias? I like DJ. I think he is rather intelligent. He says many things that seem reasonable. But his lean away from BYU makes most of his opinions about BYU tainted.

PK is just plain ridiculous. He is not even worth listening to. If I can, I try to listen to someone else. His advertisers need to learn that a lot of people feel that way about him. Controversy is one thing. But idiocy is another.

I think DJ covers his bias pretty well. He really doesn't like BYU, but that's because he is an SDSU fan. Occasionally on their show, the game where BYU dropped 60+ on his beloved Aztecs (back when SDSU was okay) is discussed. I think that is the root of all of his dislike for BYU.

PK is just glad that when he goes to work he doesn't have to deal with Rick Majeras anymore. PK also shows a lot of love to Bronco and Rose. He is probably the most unbiased person in the local sports market. PK really doesn't have a dog in the instate fight, and he genuinely likes all the major coaches.

That is where I got some of my information about Haws and Utah, but there have been a few other sources. I can't vouch for the credibility of these people, but just the amount of people that I am hearing talk about it, and the relative indepedence of the sources leads me to believe there is something there. I am however adjusting the percentages I gave to be 70/30 BYU over Utah for Haws.

Craig, you're right I don't know Marty very well, although I have played basketball against him here in Alpine. (By the way he is still very good)That is why I come to this board, to get better insight. As far as DJ and PK, I think it is interesting that Ute fans think DJ and PK are biased and we Cougar fans also think they are biased. I think if you're a sportscaster you can't win.

I don't really think DJ or PK are biased I just think that PK is a moron. He thinks he is funny and spends the majority of his airtime trying to convince everyone else to love him as much as he loves himself. I love DJ but can't stomach PK. The only way I can vote is to change the station which I did several months back. I find that my general sports outlook is much happier now.

The ACC maybe, BYU good chance, Utah zero chance (window dressing)

This is Marty Haws kid we're talking about.
