Thanks for coming. The BYU game was a lot of fun for BYU fans. I hope KState fans enjoyed the trip and the mountains. Thanks for all you do, John.

Always enjoy your shows! Glad you enjoyed Provo!!!
BYU '82

Utah will be winning the BIG-12 too. Utah is really good.

You made it home safely, Mr Kurtz glad you made the trip, I grew up in Provo (now in Phoenix) and your comments were kind and appreciated. I hope you get a chance to go back for a basketball game at the Marriott.

What’s crazy is Utahs offense hasn’t hit their stride yet. Cam has only played 3.5 quarters of football this year.

Utah has the best team in the Big XII. That is the statement.

[Nebraska-CatFanDanOzzy]

We gave BYU the paddle and they took us to the woodshed and beat us raw with it. Congratulations to BYU you were truly the better team Saturday. This was hard to watch, I expected better after K-States big win over Arizona. Good luck BYU with the rest of your Season. Sorry I missed the show today was watching the Chiefs.

I’m absolutely shocked by what SMU did to TCU. After watching the BYU at SMU game I didn’t think SMU had the horsepower to score that many TDs against a Big 12 team.

No disrespect to the big 12, buy thinking Utah and BYU couldnt come into the division and quickly become favorites is laughable. Just wait til the Holy War, the big 12 is in for a treat when they see just how wild the holy war gets!

Kansas control?? Guess that's not happening!

[bobbypaluga]

I’m torn, I would feel terrible if BYU went into Waco and laid an egg, BUT I hate to think of a great guy like Dave Aranda losing his job if Baylor keeps losing games. We need quality people like Dave coaching college football.

Not even holladay bourbon could lift my spirits after that meltdown in Provo. 😢

Hear this: If done right the new PAC will incorporate the 2 most football crazy regions in the country: the South and the Mountain west.

Memphis and Tulane
UTSA (or Texas State) and Rice
Utah State and Wyoming
South Florida and Southern Miss
UConn and Georgia State

Why is Utah being good not a good look? Strange

[AnastyPigeon]

BYU looked great. But KSU looked horrible! Ute fan here and I love Kilani Sitake. I would LOVE a BYU and Utah title game!!!!

[gregdimedio]

Buffs are showing how ready they are for the B12. And another week ahead with national prime time TV coverage in Orlando.

[Mike-aka]

The expansion 2021 teams need to show and 3/4 of them have. UCF and imagine BYU with an offense how good they could be. Cincy is quietly 3-1 should be 4-0, that leaves Houston who is rebuilding DHolg left that program a mess, once they get the ball rolling again they will be scary good. I don’t find Utah winning here a problem. If I were to go to war with 2 XII teams, it would be them and KSU to give the conference a reasonable representation of themselves. If BYU even had something close to resembling a functioning offense I would choose them too. But for now. My hope is Utah and KsU make the playoff. Go XII!

[tonyvBTFD]

John now you know how all us AZ fans felt last week

[stevencraven]

IF that happens (Holy War #3 in 2024) then will we see 3 schools coached by BYU Alums in the first 12 team College Fòtball Playoff?? (Name the trophy for Lavelle Edwards?)

[charlestoddbarnum]

BYU should still have a really big chip on their shoulder
