An Oral History of How Utah Joined the Pac-12
Lucky or not, we're here FUCKERS!
Not a big fan of Scout/247 but this is good. Whenever the pay sites knock it out of the park with an article they make it free. Good strategy until you find out the stuff behind the paywall is pure shit.

This will be a hot topic week 3 because we beat Auburn but lose to Utah.

Haven't read it yet but being Larry's plan all along isn't a positive
-
Nary a mention of BYU who was laughed off of the phone by the conference when they approached. Utah's ascendance is their downfall. They're pretty much a FCS team now.

TL, DR
-
The BYU reactions are pretty good.

Btw fuck BYU. -
That BYU board is straight out of 1996 Netscape. How the fuck do you collapse all messages? Or do they all read them one at a time? Savages.

As much as I make fun of my Utard homeland, they were always the logical choice if you had to take a team from the WAC/MWC. Furthermore, Utah prolly has a higher ceiling than, at least, 2 or 3 schools in the old PAC. Those Mormons struck football gold when they went out into the Pacific to spread the word of a false prophet.

I assumed when I read "Utah" and "oral" we'd also get a little anal action somewhere.
Sad.

that might be a bit generous, but, losing to umass at home on senior day is always special.HorrifyinglyAlluring said:Nary a mention of BYU who was laughed off of the phone by the conference when they approached. Utah's ascendance is their downfall. They're pretty much a FCS team now.
byu fans live in a goddamn bubble, zero awareness of sports outside of their ward. -

Stopped reading at "Larry was very concerned about making sure that the dignity of the Pac-10 remained intact."
-
I tried to read it but just don't care. Utah does deserve credit for building the program to be there as low hanging fruit for the incompetent boob Larry
I'm sure someday we'll hear that Larry turned down the old Big 8 so he could get Utah -
NOFC

I can't fucking find it but the same trend line that has Petermen's recruiting classes trending up every year also has Utah trending up. I think they are still a ways off from putting it all together but I think it's only a matter of tim until they win the South at least once. I mean fuck, if Colorado can do it.YellowSnow said:As much as I make fun of my Utard homeland, they were always the logical choice if you had to take a team from the WAC/MWC.

That was like an epic lucky year for Colorado. Everyone else in the South was having major down yearUW_Doog_Bot said:

And Colorado at various times has been a major player and major conference champ and even 1/2 a natty

Given, but they still were hot garbage for a decade before winning the South.RaceBannon said:And Colorado at various times has been a major player and major conference champ and even 1/2 a natty

Mormons are the last thing the conference needed.

Just wait until they get more 27 y/o missionaries in there.YellowSnow said:As much as I make fun of my Utard homeland, they were always the logical choice if you had to take a team from the WAC/MWC.

Kreist People. Utah isn’t even the WSU of the South and they can’t even beat them. A shit program in a shit division of a shit conference.

You're fucked in the head if you think a winner can be built with returned missionaries. For every good one I can show you a bench full of broken down couldn't cut its. Missions kill football careers.salemcoog said:

If they go to like Guatamala I don’t really think they have the means to lift and train.WeakarmCobra said:

2 years of no working out and shit diet. They come back, try to get back what they lost plus gain what their counterparts have gained. Injury is inevitable and it's constant. I'll give you one example, Chase Hansen. He's yet to make it through a season without missing games from multiple injuries, this year, his senior year, will probably be no different.WeakarmCobra said:

Same with basketball.
Only one exception come to mind and that's Paul Kruger. The list of successful return missionary athletes is might short. -
ben olson is another dude that comes to mind, went on a mission and broke/tore everything when he came back.89ute said:
