Had a great time outside of the total collapse of our KSU team. Enjoyed everything about it! BYU is great for the new B12! KSU has to step up there fan experience at the Bill!
Kurtz is in his 30's, he does not know the importance of the BYU/ Miami game from 1990. That game is legend now. That Miami team was more than legit. Finished 3rd that year and Detmer won the heisman, largely due to that game.
Cosign this. I was at that game. Still remember the Miami players before the game walking around the field, arms up, acting like they owned the place. Most satisfying win ever.
I must agree. I sat on the 50 yard line at the 1990 game and do not remember even sitting down after the Miami players led off with their strutting around th field. I remember the BYU punt receiver refusing to raise his hand regardless of being surrounded by the Miami players. Best game ever.
I was 16 years old and at the Miami game. I don't so much recall that game, but that game's outcome was beyond awesome! I was at the K-State game on Saturday. The game was fantastic, but pales in significance to beating Miami. The fan experience is better now. However, short of rushing the field (which wouldn't be appropriate for beating #12 team), both sets of fans were into the game and overwhelmingly excited.
Thanks for pointing out our pregame show is like our own college game day show. I have watched the show many times but had never made the connection before. BYUtv is a huge asset to the university, BYU sports, the church and in some ways the world.
I am a byu fan and I am always unsure if they will sustain it. They have in the past upset some big contender and the next week lose to some no name or weak team. However, while they weren’t dominate on offense they looked consistent through out the whole game and this season so far. Maybe this year they can maintain it this season.
BYU is as BYU does, (the rest is just talk) and they're doing things right! Thanks for the compliments; recognition by "the big boys" has been a long time coming and with this year may be a good start!
Super nice video, glad you had a good time in Provo. From a BYU perspective we were so lowly in all the preseason reviews as well our opponents were favored in every game thus far even the first vs FCS Southern Illinois. We are taking the season one game at a time, not paying any attention to the polls or ratings,while hoping to get to a bowl. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
The faux persecution complex is extreme lol. BYu-p was a -14.5 point favorite against Southern Illinois. Just because you're a BYu-p fan doesn't mean you be so dishonest in everything you say lol :P
@@guardsmanmatt lololololol not even close 🤣 ... I present FACTS and all you have is pathetic, totally false, straw-man attackss ... nobody likes you.fools lol ...
I am a BYU alarm, but I have not been back for a game in maybe two decades. I will head out to a game later this year and I’m looking forward to seeing all the upgrades. Thanks for this video! The mountain backdrop for Lavell Edwards Stadium is amazing too!
One of the underrated parts of independence was how much the game day atmosphere improved during those years. BYU had the opportunity to play teams from all over the country and see first hand what makes an elite homefield advantage. I also think our fanbase has taken on a very friendly welcoming attitude due to being welcomed by teams like Nebraska, Wisconson, etc. during independence.
That's a good point. I've attend various BYU home games over the years. The experience Kurt described is fairly new. The school has made a massive investment in it. 10 years ago you would have seen just the opposite. Zero pre-game excitement. 20 minutes after the game the parking lots and neighborhood was empty. I attended BYU at TCU in the early 2000's and remember hearing AD talking about their pre-game experience and wanting to follow suit, clearly patterned Cougar Canyon after that. I'm a bit skeptical to see if it will keep up. The difference that BYU has and other schools is that the excitement you see at games is fan-based as opposed to school sponsored. But good on them for improving the in-game experience. COSMO and the 4th quarter transition is more an NFL/NBA style experience.
Glad you had a great experience John (other than the outcome, of course). I agree with your comments on the Defense and Offense. Retzlaff and the O (and hopefully A-Rod) are improving. Hopefully that continues. The D is amazing! Take care and God bless!
Frankly John.... I don't know if you remember when I started following you before last season. I was advocating for BYUtv Sports Nation to figure out a way to hire you when there was Conversation about a B12 Network and that a good move might be for the B12 to piggy back it's network off of the BYUtv studio's and know how. I have continued to feel that way. As they have brought in new talent for just the BYU side of things. I have thought dayum! They need John to be their B12 Spearhead covering the rest of the league....
It gets pretty cold in Manhattan, KS as well when the wind is whipping down from Canada. It actually gets colder there than it does here. Growing up in Mizzou we would often get winter storms where the temperature was -20 to -50 below NOT counting windchill.
John the Kansas Wildcat march was written by John Phillip Sousa for KSU. John Phillip Sousa was one of the greatest American Romantic composers. I will put this in terms you can understand-this would be like if Kanye dedicated a song to KSU. A hundred years from now this song might be not popular but I still think the band should play it. It is an honor that a musician would dedicate a song or piece of music specifically to a school. Also it is a march and the marching band plays it. Otherwise great take on things it sounds like BYU was awesome. Always appreciate your content.
Good take! I am a BYU fan. I am thinking that BYU can go 8 or 9 wins this season. I think they will lose to Utah and UCF. And then there will be some competitive games. Right now, Baylor worries me. BYUs record during the early time of the day on the road isn't good. Baylor is a desperate team.
Well, they were given the cakewalk because as you remember during the Covid year, Utah hid in their basements along with the other members of the PAC 12. So with that in mind, the committee had to give them a softball schedule because of their many fears.
MYTH. Your statement is not based on fact, but rather your feelings. Sagarin Ratings has Utah at #11 in SoS right now, ahead of OKState at 15, Iowa State at 18 and BYU at 29. Sagarin Ratings are often cited as the Gold Standard in SoS. TeamRankings has Utah at 26, behind only WVU and TCU. BYU is 38. Power Rankings Guru has them all the way down at 54; so if your looking for a ‘source’ this place may be your best bet--and if you’ve heard of these guys before, congrats. Obviously Utah doesn’t play against themselves, and so as the top rated team all others who play them get to cite Utah as a tough opponent. But outside of that Utah plays the other 4 teams that are right now considered the Top-5 in the power rankings by most pundits; Utah, BYU, Iowa State, UCF and OkState. I agree; there’s no Cincinnati, West Virginia or Kansas on the schedule. Oh wait……
BYU fan here and I always used to think the activities down there were nerdy but I am changing my tune. I never appreciated the Mountain View’s also. Not so nerdy
A comment below drives me to point out something. I was watching GameDay this weekend, and it dawned on me that the Big 12 needs to do its own GameDay. The Big 12 is an afterthought to ESPN. The Big 12 might be able to learn something from BYUtv, in terms of resources and scaling.
@@ralphwiggam7630 LOVE living rent free in your head. Don't know how long you've been around, but prior to the pukes joining the PAC-0 BYU was the king of Fandom. Now that they are back in the same conference, it's going to revert back. You have your head stuck so far in the sand, it will be interesting when your team loses their first game. You'll have every excuse in the book lined up and ready to go.
And your point is? The U punished your racist DC, and now he has his full pay again and sitting in the on deck circle. Sounds to me like you piss-ants play with money as well. Get off your high horse dude!
I didn't see that meltdown in ANY WAY coming when it did. That musta been tough to bear. Like most reasonable BYU fans, with 2 minutes left in the first half -- I think I just kinda prayed that we could keep things close enough to get a deciding turnover late or something. Cuz turning-the-tables & outplaying you straight-up just didn't seem like an option. The speed factor between Johnson & your two RBs was obviously something our D was struggling with. And the early returns on our young RB corps was NOT looking promising at all. Obviously, you guys are gonna rebound & be real good by the end of November, I think.
BYU has been a great environment since the 80s, they've had some dips, but the fans are into it. Nice people, pretty girls, lots of rah rah, but oh man the campus rules definitely remind you it is a religious school.
BYU is having a nice moment before the bodies begin to pile up. It won’t be long before they collapse due to their lack of quality depth. But at least they’ll post a winning season this year and get to a bowl game.
Great job! Vegas & others still don't get BYU's defense this year. The only ones giving Y's defense respect are opposing coaches. BYU's defense is a pro-defense this year. Believe me. They're legit. They're for real! Y's defense is why they are 7-0. People don't get it. Y's defense has shut down each opponent this year. And they've faced some of the best offenses. They've exposed opponent's offensive weaknesses and exploited them. Y's defense makes opponent's offenses make mistakes. And what's more? Y's defense fuels, pumps up their offense. Y's defensive backs, secondary shuts down receivers, which then gives time for the down 4 guys and linebackers to stop the run, pressure, and sack the qb. They showed this well with K-State. And when Y's defensive front and linebackers pressure qb's, they make mistakes, throw picks. And when Y's defense pressures the qb, it's over. Y's defensive secondary are ball hawks. BYU has already seen UCF already this year. How? They saw them in K-State, in Baylor, in OK State, and in AZ. Yes, Iowa St. barely beat UCF. But BYU this year is no Iowa St. Why? Because of Y's defense. BYU UCF game is gonna be like K-State and Baylor. This may even be another route for BYU. Why? The inexperience of UCF QB. He's young and inexperienced. And when Hill throws his pro defensive schemes at UCF, their QB is gonna make mistakes and throw picks, just like K-State QB did. All BYU has to worry about with UCF is stopping the run. Because UCF QB can't throw. He's not proven he can throw. That's how they lost against Iowa St. This is why this might be another route for BYU. Yes, even though it's in Orlando and historically BYU has not fared well east of the Mississippi. Not this year. Why? Again, I keep saying this. Y's DEFENSE! Plus their veterans, very experienced, and play for each other. Chemistry! Away games do not matter to BYU this year. No one wants to play the Cougs this year because they're real, they're legit, they're scary, and they ARE DANGEROUS! Especially their DEFENSE! What's the score for this game. 38-21, BYU wins. UCF will not be able to score enough points. Why? You guessed it. BYU'S DEFENSE. This is a magical season for the COUGS! Yes, I'm an alum, '02. But, this has been an objective analysis. Pundits and voters, start giving BYU the respect they have already deserved and earned. They will be 8-0 after Saturday's game in Orlando.
That was a year ago, and the team last year is much different from this year. The defense so far has been locked down solid. The offense does enough, and special teams has gotten on their feet in the last couple of games. Last year's Iowa State team would have a hard time with this team this year. Edit: added State after Iowa.
Talked plenty about the ACC story when it broke and there hasn’t been an update. Also it’s far from a certainty that they’ll reach an agreement. Also I love UCF but that is an absolutely wild statement with what Utah is doing.
Underrated?? Says who?? BYU football is known all over the US...Some of the most famous quarterbacks are alumni of BYU....Lavell Edwards Stadium is one of the most picturesque stadiums in the entire country!!! What are you talking about?????
I think Avery Johnson Was rattled quite a bit by BYU's Envirement. I think they didn't expect BYU to be so loud/hostile in a close game. I'm also gonna Be honest, Avery Johnson has alot of potential, he just needs to learn, but nothing wrong with Being rattled and learning from it. He also said that BYU's Envirement is different from places like Texas and Oklahoma.
With regards to the game day experience, inside and out of the stadium, you have to understand that BYU has one of the most fully developed experience design and management programs in their business school. It is one of the few elite programs in its field in the nation. Mixed it with the elite broadcasting school, and it’s an incredible mix. All that being said, we are going to lose the Baylor next week.
I enjoy welcoming the competition to LES, but I do NOT ENJOY ANYTHING ABOUT UTAH and its fan base. As a Utah Grade, I am ashamed of how pathetic the u fans are. This is why I am a BYU fan, not a Utah fan, who behaves like an adolescent drunken fool.
Other than you, who cares about rating game environments? But I thought you said it would take BYU, UCF, Cincinnati and Houston a few years to catch up with the powerful B12 teams; lol! Get used to it. In five years the original 8 B12 members will be the toilet teams of the B12.
You clicked on the video with that subject as the title. Don't act like he's the only one who thought this was a fun topic ("Other than you"). That's just dorky and rude at the same time. OBVIOUSLY more people than just himself think it's worth talking about!!!
No, it's not!!! Opposing fans aren't anywhere close to as nice by the home fans, particularly after Utah loses. My experience, one year, was terrible. And I actually feared for my safety. I haven't been back since. The U, as they call it, sucks in my opinion.
Who’s getting laid AT football games??? You can do that in your hotel or wherever you’re staying 😂 And you actually CAN drink outside the stadium before the game, just can’t bring it inside. Saw some k-state fans having a beer in the parking lot 🤷🏻♀️
@@arisyn Had to spell it out more clear for a stupid person that asked "WTF are you talking about." BYU hasn't been relevant in a long time. No impressive home winning streak. Moot point.
Yes, a nice place to see a game but second best in the state of Utah. Logan is far nicer and has a better college town atmosphere. Now that the Aggies are competing in the Pacific Division you will be able to watch great teams right in Logan throughout the season.
@@brandonjames2146 OP is referencing Utah State University in Logan UT. He's not wrong, USU's stadium is beautiful, a fair bit smaller, but the small town college feel is definitely preserved in Logan.
I’m a lifelong Utah fan and I hate BYU…. Hate everything about them, the fans the administration it’s a classless organization. Last year BYU fans poured beer all over my family. Sound familiar Cougar fans? Max Hall 2009😂😂😂
I don’t know if it’s a lack of medication or counseling but you’re delusional story of having beer dumped on your family is entertaining. Hopefully the anger that rules your life can be extracted.
@@lexingtonconcord8751 you don’t understand the rivalry, Max Hall was a quarterback for BYU after the 09 game he said exactly what I did, except about Utah…. Utah fans made red t shirts that said “Max Hall Hates me” 😂😂😂😂

BYU always fades late ... quality depth always a problem. Hype machine always in overdrive. Then late October hits 😅
BYU has won lots of late season bowl games.
Not always, my friend. You're correct when talking about depth.
Lately the last few seasons, yes. But this team feels different….i hope they actually are.
Underrated?? Says who?? BYU football is known all over the US...Some of the most famous quarterbacks are alumni of BYU....Lavell Edwards Stadium is one of the most picturesque stadiums in the entire country!!! What are you talking about?????
Um they win out and the playoffs are a breeze
Funny how Utah lost and BYU won last week. Whatcha thinking now?
I think Avery Johnson Was rattled quite a bit by BYU's Envirement. I think they didn't expect BYU to be so loud/hostile in a close game. I'm also gonna Be honest, Avery Johnson has alot of potential, he just needs to learn, but nothing wrong with Being rattled and learning from it. He also said that BYU's Envirement is different from places like Texas and Oklahoma.

Utah lost????
BYU money is good, isn't it? 😉
You sound jealous?
@@arisyn not jealous. They hosted him and I’m sure there was money exchanged 😉
@@MohamedEmirayou seriously need to get a life and stop obsessing over BYU, “Ute in Egypt” guy
@@arisyn I’m just stating the obvious. Good for him
@@MohamedEmira the constant jealousy and obsession over BYU is your identity

BYU 8-0
With regards to the game day experience, inside and out of the stadium, you have to understand that BYU has one of the most fully developed experience design and management programs in their business school. It is one of the few elite programs in its field in the nation. Mixed it with the elite broadcasting school, and it’s an incredible mix.
All that being said, we are going to lose the Baylor next week.
That’s what everyone said about us and KSU….yet here we are. I’m not counting this BYU team out until they show us that’s what they’ll do.
@@byuftbl You don't understand this program, then. The cycle is written in stone. Beat a top-25 team, lose to two unranked teams in a row.
Here we are… almost lost but we made it out
@@iRunfastXC Relieved that in this instance, your prognostication was incorrect.
I enjoy welcoming the competition to LES, but I do NOT ENJOY ANYTHING ABOUT UTAH and its fan base. As a Utah Grade, I am ashamed of how pathetic the u fans are. This is why I am a BYU fan, not a Utah fan, who behaves like an adolescent drunken fool.
Other than you, who cares about rating game environments?
But I thought you said it would take BYU, UCF, Cincinnati and Houston a few years to catch up with the powerful B12 teams; lol!
Get used to it. In five years the original 8 B12 members will be the toilet teams of the B12.
You clicked on the video with that subject as the title.
Don't act like he's the only one who thought this was a fun topic ("Other than you").
That's just dorky and rude at the same time.
OBVIOUSLY more people than just himself think it's worth talking about!!!
Apparently sir you dont listen to podcasts or other national media, either on the net or tv.
Now go North. Best football and crowd in Utah is at the U.
No, it's not!!! Opposing fans aren't anywhere close to as nice by the home fans, particularly after Utah loses. My experience, one year, was terrible. And I actually feared for my safety. I haven't been back since. The U, as they call it, sucks in my opinion.
Oh it's just great, as long as you don't want to have a drink or get laid or pretty much do anything fun.
You can't have fun without drugs? If so you should seriously seek help
@@carterkal2918 Who said anything about drugs? Nice projecting, stereotyping and judging there, pal.
Says the guy who just judged, stereotyped, and projected.Provo?🤔🤔...😳
Who’s getting laid AT football games??? You can do that in your hotel or wherever you’re staying 😂 And you actually CAN drink outside the stadium before the game, just can’t bring it inside. Saw some k-state fans having a beer in the parking lot 🤷🏻♀️
@@rdancranston I judge people all the time. But I don't pretend to be christian or follow Jesus, so I'm not being a hypocrite, unlike the Byu fans.
Probably because they don't win enough games......
WTF are you talking about
They DON't Win ENOUGH games Each YEAR @ Home for ANYone to GiVe a ShIt
Win games and become relevant and maybe people will talk about it.
@@ConnorMartellaro-g5hdo you need mental assistance? Are you okay?
@@arisyn Had to spell it out more clear for a stupid person that asked "WTF are you talking about." BYU hasn't been relevant in a long time. No impressive home winning streak. Moot point.
Yes, a nice place to see a game but second best in the state of Utah. Logan is far nicer and has a better college town atmosphere. Now that the Aggies are competing in the Pacific Division you will be able to watch great teams right in Logan throughout the season.
Logan University? I tried looking them up and couldn’t find anything
@@brandonjames2146Utah State University
@@brandonjames2146 Look up Title 9 lawsuit leads to coach firing.......that may help you find it
@@brandonjames2146 OP is referencing Utah State University in Logan UT. He's not wrong, USU's stadium is beautiful, a fair bit smaller, but the small town college feel is definitely preserved in Logan.
Great teams? Who!? Best teams will be the 2 that are already there plus Boise St, the rest are trash.
Overrated. Everybody talks about it. This isn't a secret. They're over hyped. Move on
I’m a lifelong Utah fan and I hate BYU…. Hate everything about them, the fans the administration it’s a classless organization. Last year BYU fans poured beer all over my family.
Sound familiar Cougar fans?
Max Hall 2009😂😂😂
On the other hand, your hatred of an entire fan-based sounds incredibly classy 👍🏻
Greatest moment of my fandom's history
Well done haha
I don’t know if it’s a lack of medication or counseling but you’re delusional story of having beer dumped on your family is entertaining. Hopefully the anger that rules your life can be extracted.
I apologize for a few of our classless Utah fans. Obviously everyone knows that Beer isn’t even allowed in your stadium. Go Utes!!!
@@lexingtonconcord8751 you don’t understand the rivalry, Max Hall was a quarterback for BYU after the 09 game he said exactly what I did, except about Utah…. Utah fans made red t shirts that said “Max Hall Hates me” 😂😂😂😂
If I can chant a fight song while also downing two open beers that I’m holding then the environment in the stadium sounds BORING as hell
Or you just don't know how to have fun without being drunk. Sounds like a skill issue.
@@caleblarsen5490 dONt KnoW HOw tO HaVE fUN wiThOut bEing DRuNK hahaha shut the fuck up nerd, go have fun drinking your milk and Mountain Dew while you support a racist sexist cult of a “religion” hahaha get the fuck out of here loser 😂
@@goaliegrizz8925 very classy to support racism and homophobia and sexism. I may not be a perfect person but imagine being a fucking Mormon and thinking you’re better than everyone just because your little leader called black people not humans hahahaha get fucked idiot
Tell me you haven’t been to a BYU game without telling me you haven’t. And tell me you don’t know how to have a good time without being drunk 🤷🏻♀️ I had a great fun and amazing time at the game completely sober 🤷🏻♀️
You should be a Wyoming fan!!!
BYU will lose the next four games
errrr wrong
I am pretty sure we all know BYU is a cult even Baylor and TCU can't compare
Whats wrong with a cult ?
@@AboveAvgMan never said it was wrong
Sorry everyone! Reister is a religious bigot who hates black people. Just ignore him 👍🏽
I apologize for Reister. He’s well known for his religious and racial bigotry. Go Utes!!!
@@theoptimist9605 I hope space Jesus bless you
