I know it's still early in the conference season, but this list has been in the making for a couple of years now.
The top players in the Mountain West I just can't stand:
1. Joe Darger, UNLV
He walks around like he thinks he's black as well as the coolest person in the universe. If I have to look at that stupid faux-hawk again, I think I'm going to throw up.
2. Shaun Green, Utah
Get that stupid earring out of you ear and don't throw elbows when you set a screen. Dirty, dirty player.
3. Luke Nevill, Utah
He is apparently the god of the MWC. Everyone can't stop worshipping him, and breathe on him wrong and watch out because those Aussie-loving zebras will give him two.
4. Luca Drca, Utah
He may be from Europe, but don't make any excuses for him kissing Kepkay near the end of the BYU-Utah game. Gay. Not only that, but he was called for an intentional earlier this season for tripping Blake Griffin of Oklahoma. Dirty.
5. Wink Adams, UNLV
He is like the little brother that won't go away.
6. Chad Toppert, UNM
I don't know why, I've just never liked him. It even makes me sick to look at him.
7. Rene Rougeau, UNLV
Rene? What is that? My mistake but I thought that was a girl name. Oh excuse me, that's Renee. He's hard for sure...
8. Roman Martinez, UNM
He always looks like he just woke up. He thinks he's profesh.
9. Ryan Amoroso, SDSU
The jail called, they want their pedophile back.
10. Tyler Kepkay, Utah
He's that player I almost love because of how dumb of a player he is. He once went in for a two point layup when down by three as time expired. His excuse? "I thought we would have time to foul and get the ball back." Needless to say, they lost by one. Smooth move.
Honorable Mentions: Billy White, SDSU. Brandon Ewing, Wyoming. Tre'Von Willis, UNLV. Richie Williams, SDSU. Lawrence Borha, Utah. Lorrenzo Wade, SDSU. Dairese Gary, UNM. D.J. Gay, SDSU.
Maybe a couple of these are kind of harsh or don't seem like good reasons. Well, some people don't need good reasons.
It may be a little Utah-heavy at the top, but hey, I'm a true Cougar!!

It's not over.
Ok, so I've been wrong about a few things this season. But I can't help but be extremely optimistic about every game BYU basketball plays. Some may say I'm too optimistic, but why shouldn't I be? This teamis amazing. Sure, they don't show it every game, but who does? They'll bounce back like they have in the past, and I dare say they'll suprise some people.
Why am I so positive? It's scary how good they are when they share the ball and don't really care about getting in the scoring column themselves. A pass to a teammate to set up a shot means just as much to them as putting the ball in the basket with their own two hands. Think of the Boise State game as well as many others to demonstrate this. Every loss this season seems to have a trend: once they get a little behind, individual players try to take the game on themselves, forgetting how much teamwork means to this year's team. I may be wrong, but that's how I see it.
I love this team and I would never stop coming to games just because they hit a little bump. Why do fans do that? Jump on the bandwagon as soon as they realize how good their team is, and look for the nearest exit when they lose. I'm so sick of listening to people around me at the games talk crap about all of the players during the game! Who does that?! Don't come to games if you hate it so much! Leave those seats for the true fans:)
