Calling out the Utes, calling out the Big 12....draw your own conclusions....

or, perhaps Bronco is genuinely annoyed and perturbed at the utes' admin

yahtzee

8/26/14 8:08pm

but Utah doesn't feel like it is tied to BYU anymore. Their focus is on the PAC

yes, getting pounded by the PAC-12 every year certainly takes up a lot of energy

Utah has nothing left to prove. It was time for them to move on.

Maybe chicken, but it is the smart thing to do. Clearly. That's why they did it.

Maybe they should have walked away from football in 2008. On top of the world.

You are a smart guy ds7. You don't actually believe that.

Future NFL players don't dream of going to BYU either.

The Lone Wolf

8/26/14 8:36pm

and nobody else wanted...

ds7

8/26/14 8:44pm

The point is that Utah puts 4x as many kids in the NFL.

The Lone Wolf

you put way too much value into the NFL...
