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. -

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

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 -

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. 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.

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