"I said going into this stretch of five tough games, playing five elite teams, I think, well, four and a half if you count BYU, I guess," Krystkowiak joked, according to video posted on YouTube by KSL's Josh Furlong. "Strike that. No, that's going to be locker room fodder for them, too, because we play them in a week. Dang it."
Let's get fired up!
Good for him! The rivalry needs more goofy quotes like this. It's too bad that should Rose say something even remotely close to this, U fans would yell "WCC WCC WCC WCC" - then they'd point out the fact that WCC schools will have a smaller gym than them (ignoring the fact the they have a smaller gym than us)
This is somewhat less of a poke than Broncos "one team in the state honors traditions" poke. Its not harmful and it sits just fine with me.
If they beat us, great, they've beaten half an elite team. If they lose, then they lost to half an elite team.
I'm just glad that the coach of a nationally ranked Pac 12 school considers us worth mentioning.
