I also over heard Cougar fans @ the b..yu game saying that Utah would kill Weber this year & that Weber was much overhyped....
WSU must not only beat Utah, but by more than 19 which b..yu did
B..Y..U fans are idiots. They don't quite understand that their overwhelming win over the Cats was no coincidence. It converged and lapped upon a perfect storm of tragedies effecting Weber. First, 0Weber started the game without an All-Conference Starter (second time in two years that the Cougs have faced the Cats without one of their stars available) who had had solid games against them. Then, Weber, had another starter, same position, go down. At that point, Weber was still in the game, but was forced to play a true PF at the SF position or use an undersized guard. Next, the Cats, entire team, was suffering from a timely flu/food poisoning that left the team sluggish and slow. Playing with Flu like symptons isn't easy, to be honest it is Hell. Not to mention that it was the worst shooting performance by the Cats in a few years juxtaposed, with perhaps, the best shooting night by the Cougs this year.
Pathetically, B..Y..U fans aren't cognizant of the miasmas that can taint an opposing team. They categorize it, much like a medieval crusader would, as being, "God's Will." Yes, B..Y..U is well coached and talented. More so, they had their entire team available, were healthy, and playing at home. The Marriot Center (named after a prominent Weber State grad) isn't an easy place to play. The floor is uneven in spots and the size of the arena makes shooting very difficult for opposing teams. The Cougs definitely have an advantage, on top of the fact, that, for opposing teams, its usually 8 on 5.
Its really sad for the Cougs that their fans are absolute imbeciles and suffer from an acute form of cougar myopia, which generates their abrupt hyperbole and nascent beliefs. Really, if B..Y..U got rid of sports how many would turn on the LDS church and leave it? Their faith is founded in Ty Detmer and Jimmer Freddette not in any sort of diety.
