I believe you mean DOCTOR Chris Hill.

This could lead to them scheduling us a bit more in Basketball and Football. No reason we can't have a H-H arrangement in hoops and play them every few years in football.

Still have to get Larry on board. Which I highly doubt.

This will give their basketball team extra motivation to beat Penn St and bring home the NIT trophy to send Hill out with a bang.

Don’t say “bang”. That is a scary word.

He doesn't even know his team is still playing. According to the KSL article, "Hill said he made the decision back in January but wanted to wait until the end of basketball season to not 'be a distraction.' He will remain as the university's athletics director for the next two months before formally retiring." His timing demonstrates the intelligence of a true "doctor."

Good to hear. He should have been fired after the swimming scandal revealed he ignored abuse by one of his coaches.

Hopefully we can play them regularly again.

We can play them regularly as long as the games are ALWAYS in Salt Lake. Larry is a douche bag and I don't see him ever coming to Logan unless we have home court advantage in an NIT game. Otherwise the furthest he will travel to play us is at the Vivint Smart Home Arena every three years as part of the Beehive Classic which is a joke.

Well, he is a doctor, and as we saw from the Michigan State scandal, doctors tend to ignore those things.

USU's 3 year average RPI is 159. Based on NCAA tournament selection criteria, this makes the game a Quad 3 road game for Utah. I have issues with who Utah plays at home in OOC, but playing in Logan gives absolutely ZERO benefit to making the NCAA tournament. I'm a proponent of Utah never playing BYU again. But, when Utah plays at BYU, it would be a Quad 1 game which the selection committee loves.

Hell, Weber St has a 3 year RPI average of of 154, which would make a game on the road with them better than playing in Logan. Maybe this new coach will turn the Aggies into San Diego St, Nevada or Boise. Until then, come beat Utah in Salt Lake

Well fancy pants, you had a much worse 4-year run a few years ago yourself when we were still pretty good. We probably shouldn't have wasted the gas to drive down to SLC and tarnish OUR RPI.

Glad Chris Hill is gone so that maybe we can start playing again.

Guys like you are the reason I am starting to hate utah as much as the one true team.

I understand your argument in football where games are so limited (although the home and home with mighty Wyoming blows that theory up), but you have plenty of games in basketball.

I'm sick of you guys. You are the new zoobs.

Yeah I'm maybe optimistic that it is a Chris Hill problem, but Larry plays the same game. Glad they are willing to travel a couple of miles down the hill. baby steps I guess.

Even if USU or Utah is terrible, in-state rivalry games should be played. Utah had close to a decade of being pretty bad. Sometimes you are good, sometimes you are bad, but play the dang games!

1. It won't change with Hill gone
2. Look at the schools willing to come to Logan. It's not just Utah that sees no value in that road game
3. You shouldn't have wasted the gas. But since the last time you played Utah in SLC, you lost to a 14-17 Utah team, your argument doesn't have much merit

You're right, we should play in-state rivalries. This past year Utah would have gotten more credit for playing (and beating) Utah Valley (RPI 83) on the road or neutral venue, than Utah St (RPI 152). In fact, it would have been much more valued by the committee (Quad 2 vs Quad 3).

Go find me any top 60 (3 year average) team that played a road game vs a Quad 3 team.

1) Too bad. Welcome to zoobdom
2) When we were good and there was plenty of value teams didn't come either because they are afraid to lose. That is the same problem your wussy program has today
3) It has merit because playing you was a no-win situation. Win and you bet a crappy team. Lose on the road, which can always happen and it is an embarrassment. Does that argument sound familiar?

In a few days when the Zags join, we'll be in a better basketball conference anyway while Arizona recovers from cheating and you rebuild for another great NIT run, but we would still be willing to condescend and play you if you like.

Nobody likes you.

Sure. I found two very close by. byu when they played utah in 2011-2012 and USU when they should have played utah in 2011-2012 before that pansy Crisco backed out.

3-year RPI Average that season:
USU: 63
byu: 24
utah: 183

Run along princess.
