BYU falls to Loyola Marymount: Instant Reaction

BYU Fans,

At the beginning of the year I hoped that there would be a positive effect throughout the WCC with the addition of BYU. The Three things I looked forward to:

1. Removing the target off of Gonzaga’s back. Since the days of Adam Morrison my Zags go into normally docile arenas to find angry bitter crowds, whose only goal is to storm the court at an improbable victory thus turning below average players into unimaginable nightmares for Gonzaga, killing our RPI, taking us out of relevancy, all so one fan base can get drunk at the local frat house party and celebrate all that is right with the world. After the hangover wears off and the floor is cleaned, the great victors of Gonzaga would then lose to Portland in an empty high school gym, and the lowly of the RPI’s would just go through the motions to end the WCC schedule maybe win a tournament game or two then promptly lose in the WCC semifinal or title game then look for next years schedule to find when you play Gonzaga at home and circle that date, (unless your San Diego and hosting the WCC tournament(now on a neutral floor) and get yet another chance for your student section to storm the court). How I hoped BYU would change this, by being just as bad a dog (or cat if you prefer) as Gonzaga in an environment that would be the loudest and most difficult to play in. As of tonight’s game you have shot (no pun intended) that theory to heck.

The second thing I had hoped to change, or at least lay the ground work for is a physical type of game that will be allowed to play in the WCC. Right now do to the inferior athletes and the type of strategy employed by everyone not with the name of Gonzaga has led to this less physical game as the writers of this blog have pointed out, that doesn’t prepare you for March.

The Third was a new rivalry.

As of now all I see from BYU is: oh great this is the WCC. The whole program from fans to players have been about as lethargic as a sloth in the middle of the day. We get it, 1)The Jimmer last year was an amazing ride and SDSU and BYU was an awesome series last year.
2) Outside of St Mary’s and Gonzaga there is nothing to get excited about.
3) Our Gyms are not Arenas.
4) WCC officiating sucks.

I understand, but College Football is College Football, and this is what your stuck with so you might as well get excited about it. If you don’t wake up your just going to end up like all the rest of the WCC except with an Arena to host your lame WCC games, except when Gonzaga comes to town. BYU is better then that, so I know I may be shooting myself in the foot because Gonzaga plays after the Saint Mary’s game, but you have St. Maries they are 23 in the country and have 0 losses in the WCC, they spanked you before, their point guard looks like he belongs in a GEICO commercial. GET UP, spank Pepperdine @ Pepperdine, destroy VT, and then get ready for ST MARY’s Week. WAKE UP!!!
