If Max hates Utah but he was a sore winner

What a baby. He has that much lack of class to come out after the game and say something like that? Is that even allowed in the “honor code” of things to say? This is exactly why I cannot stand BYU players, and fans. They all are like this. Not a one Utah fan that I have met (i’m sure there are some somewhere, every team has that “dumbass” fan or player) but come out and utter words like that or come out and say anything even close to that. BYU is supposed to be this high class, respectful university, especially their football team, and their big QB comes out after the game and says that? Wow. I really can’t believe he would say something like that. Did Brian Johnson, Sean Smith, Matt Asiata, or even way back when Alex Smith ever say anything of that low classness? No. I was going to pull for them in a bowl game, you know that whole “good for the conference” thing, but no way in hell am I going to pull for them now. I hope, whoever they play, beats the absolute crap out of them. I also hope that someone just lays Max Hall out in that game.

to know that your schools winningest QB is a big game choke artist and a little pussy who will talky shit when his career is over. The guy acts like a little baby and whines about how we are “classless” and then says how much he hates us, doesn’t respect us, and how they deserved to win.

Oh the irony.

is still running! What a bunch of sore losers on here lol. Maybe you’ll make Max feel bad for being called a sore-winner, but it beats being sore-losers like all you d bags. You can focus all your hate on Max (who holds a 2-1 record against the yoots). But the fact is, he is a winner! No turnovers and a GAME WINNING 25-yard pass in OT.
He went pretty far with his statement calling the entire university classless, but besides that, I agree 100%. I feel the same way and I’m just a fan. Imagine being treated poorly for a year after his worst game and seeing “honk if you’ve intercepted Max Hall” bumper stickers all over the place.
And I have no problem with him waiting until after the game to make his statement. First of all, he would have been crucified upside-down by Bronco and company for giving what would have been HUGE bulletin board material. It would have distracted his team and put immense pressure of himself from onlookers. He knew how bad he wanted it for his personal reasons, but he knew better than to speak out before the game. Call him a pussy all you guys want to, but the truth is that it shows how he has managed to WIN MORE GAMES THAN ANY QB IN MWC HISTORY. It isn’t just through spectacular numbers, but through a good head on his shoulders. One that you Utards will see over and over being carried off the field in his final game in LES!

He was taking the light off his poor performance, making some smack talk because he really did not win that game as much as Utah gifted it to them.

Everyone in that stadium knew the better team lost, they can crow all they want, we’ll take the loss—but they aren’t good, not at all, and all their prancing about titles and greatness last two years have shown gooseeggs.

My opinion? Hall will never make it in the pros. He can’t make decisions, has tunnel vision, and panics. He has only a fair arm, after that many years and that many games he hasn’t improved that much.

It will be interesting to see if Wynn improves. He missed about 10-12 wide open guys who had burned the BYU secondary and he generally missed them by a fair piece. When you get that many wide open receivers and miss them? Something’s wrong. We can chalk this year up to Freshmn learning, and we can say “gee, if only he’d have started” but next year he better hit at least a few of those. I wasn’t impressed with much of the play calling either.

A lone fan at my house argued that the game never should have gone into overtime. It was my nephew, a staunch BYU fan who crowed all over (he was here last night), said a couple interesting things:

1) Max Hall sucks, 2) BYU should have lost handily, they were given the game, thy didn’t beat anyone.

I said “Hey, great game, defense deserves a nod for you guys, you won, congrats” and I even put my arm around his shoulder and cheered him when he sang his song (and ribbed him by singing “so stand up and shout, the cougars are out, that closet was too dark . . .”). But he was pretty adamant that he’s glad Hall is gone and that we handed them the game. As partisan as he is, I don’t think he was being polite.

I was happy to see a hard fought game—though it was sloppy at times for both teams. But he was off on Hall all night and said he can’t wait to see him gone, while praising the receivers and RBs and castigating their D backs.

I don’t know if he’s right or wrong about Utah “should have” won, because you have to control yourself to win, and Utah did not. Utah had their chances, but so what? They lost. But, it was interesting to see a kid who hates Utah with a passion trash Hall so blatantly. And it was fun to cheer with him when they did something good and see him light up.

Congrats Coogs, good luck in your bowl game. Your QB is a dick though.

1. It was a wussy cop-out:

I understand that Max had a LOT of anger bottled up after a horrible performance last year but give me a break, you wait until your playing career is over (minus his final bowl game) to dis on Utah and it’s fans?. Well played Max.

2. It was all about him

I’ll give him credit for saying it was a team effort (“it was our turn”) but that doesn’t excuse the fact the rant was that HE hated Utah fans, HE thought Utah is classless and that HE was wronged last year. Whoever was responsible for harassing him and his wife last year are dopes, no question but that doesn’t justify you calling out an entire fan base and calling them classless for the actions of a few losers.

3. He’s a senior, therefore he should have been an example:

Teams rely on their seniors not only on the field but for their conduct outside of football, Instead of doing the classy thing by shutting his mouth,give credit to the whole team for the win and simply saying we were the better team tonight, he ran his mouth and acted like a four year-old. When Brian Johnson won last year he didn’t say one word about BYU personally, when the Utes won in 04’ Alex Smith didn’t go out of his way to give BYU a parting shot before leaving to the NFL. quite the opposite in fact

On winning the Holy War and gong undefeated :

“This team was so prepared for this moment. [It was a] Total team effort”

See that?, focusing on the win and the teams effort instead of his personal emotions.
Any respect I previously had for Max Hall, I lost after his speech. You Max showed bad form and are the classless one.

and i would hate max too if i were a yoot fan. but as a byu fan i love him. i hated weddle, alex smith, brian johnson…… its nature to hate opposing players. it bothers me when i hear stories of players being buddies with guys from their rival. i like the hate and i like how this will fuel this rivalry even more.
max did little to WIN this game for byu. but he also didn’t lose it with turnovers like last year. give credit where credit is deserved.
alot of you tools are upset that max called you classless…yet you call him maxie pad and other things like that. hypocritical?
good job in the game, i thought utah had no shot going into the 4th quarter. byu fans will lay blame on the OC for conservative play…but your guys just battled back. it was a hell of a game and it will be remembered by another qb to te game winner for the cougs.

i might be a byu fan but im not a zoobie or whatever u call em. for me, religion has nothing to do with it and i’m the first to admit collie was a moron for saying what he said and anyone else who feels entitled at byu.
speaking of football alone, both squads have been outstanding in this decade….with the edge going to the red team for your bcs wins. i’m the first to admit that
but i never rooted for utah over pitt or utah over bama. because i hate utah.
