Where I disagreed was you downplaying Utah's recent success as a key component to the pendulum swinging inside the state of Utah.

Go through west Salt Lake County or Tooele county where those areas are dominated by Ute fans and you'll quickly learn majority of those people never went to college and if they did it was probably SLCC or a trade school, they are wearing Ute gear proudly not because they are Alum but because they hopped on the bandwagon during the Urban Meyer era.
