Jayhawk Lasso nails it.

Can we still kick them out?

Borg

Not without cause.

That should be easy.

can we do it "just because?"

Utah wasn't a simp that begged to get in. They wouldn't be upset

TFL

May 14, 6:56pm

Utah was on it's hands and knees with nowhere to go.

Jeffacka

May 14, 7:00pm

Lol yes that’s exactly what happened.

DrJazzy

May 14, 8:10pm

No. It was a package deal the big 12 held their nose over.

It's a little beside the point. What market did you bring that the Big 12 desperately needed?

Bob Vance

May 16, 11:25am

They should be in the ACC.

bluegaucho

May 14, 7:00pm

They should be in the MWC with WSU and OSU

AF Cougar

With those fine institutions Cal and Stanford

He’s not even talking about football. He’s talking about the classless gutter

Nope, they waited until the sunk the Pac12 ship to come in

It's all fun and games until they're singing Rock Chalk and dancing on your grave.

Just to clarify. Last 20 seasons: Utah 183-81...Kansas 86-167...I believe KU does have more

TFL

May 14, 7:13pm

Where did he mention football?

whirl

May 14, 7:18pm

Haha. Keep in mind. I love this. The attention to Utah football is awesome. To be clear, he finishes with Utah

TFL

May 14, 7:27pm

Dream scenario among those he would have to settle for

Geez. Go sell that crap on your own board.

You're doing exactly what JL is accusing yewt fans of.

Boise St. was probably a conference newcomer and favorite a time or 2

NYC and Japan

May 14, 8:11pm

Boise State University’s last two conference moves were out of necessity …

ByTheirFruits

May 14, 9:22pm

Necessity and a favorite aren’t mutually exclusive, even when each of those move

NYC and Japan

May 14, 9:28pm

I don’t understand your post. You said …

ByTheirFruits

May 14, 11:37pm

Agreed. Good example

TFL

May 15, 12:15am

Sure Yormark may have wanted you. That's fine. But without Yormark and the B12...where would you be right now, today?

TheLoneCougar

May 14, 10:00pm

With Ore St & Wazzu. Or maybe they would have stole from the MWC to rebrand it.

Soupie

May 14, 10:08pm

And Kansas has won 2 basketball national titles in the last 20 years, plus

CycloneCoug

May 14, 7:23pm

KU is an elite MBB program. BYU winning at the Allen Fieldhouse ending a long winning streak was an awesome moment

TFL

May 14, 7:49pm

Kinda cool that you know about that game. I couldn't tell you the outcome

MaxxPower

May 14, 11:22pm

I like BYU as well.

TFL

May 15, 12:20am

Do Utah fans pride themselves on having no self awareness?

Remigius

May 14, 7:24pm

Hey now, we are trying to get beards allowed here.

VenomFarmer

May 14, 11:43pm

And yet Kansas still brings in way more revenue than Utah does by a large margin

slatecoug

May 14, 8:25pm

Yep, so why is their FB team so inferior? Utah is a mediocre, mid-tier school

TFL

May 15, 12:27am

The real question is why is Utah so financially unstable and always needing tax money to float their athletics?

slatecoug

May 15, 2:50pm

There's a difference between not begging to join and going out of your way to

cougarfan84

May 14, 7:15pm

I agree. But the few comments you're referring to were a reaction to this simp concept. Big 12 fans were rightfully

TFL

May 14, 7:57pm

Dude. No one is anxious. We’re in ah at the pure lack of self-awareness & social cues.

Soupie

May 14, 7:59pm

Meh…you’re just new to P5 world. No one is self aware. Every fan base is myopic, that’s what makes it fun

TFL

May 15, 12:24am

Think I get it more than you know. Grad school at Ohio St taught a little abt bitter rivals. Family from an SEC school

Soupie

May 15, 12:46am

Thank you for your post. I actually agree with everything you said...except you have it backwards...

TFL

May 15, 3:10pm

Feel there's an impression BYU fans are more obsessed than we are because this is the subject you happen to

Soupie

May 15, 3:32pm

What's myopic is Utah thinking every fanbase is like theirs. I went to school at

runnincoug

May 14, 7:23pm

2024 is going to be a riot. I mean, it already is fun because BYU fans and Big 12 twitterati convinced

TFL

May 14, 7:39pm

Not breaking news, I don’t like Utah. But man am I glad we’re in the same

CycloneCoug

May 14, 7:45pm

Yeah, agreed. That’s what will make it all fun.

TFL

May 15, 10:41am

What were Utah's other options if there had been no B12 invite? Was Utah going to join WSU and OSU and be the Pac3?

SierraCoug

May 14, 7:59pm

And no one is suggesting Utah grovels or kisses the XII ring. Just don’t be complete ego jerks.

Soupie

May 15, 1:03am

Utah really hasn’t accomplished much in football

Ojiisan

May 14, 7:25pm

This is the funny part. They act like a football power but have nothing but 2 Rose Bowl LOSSES to show.

Soupie

May 14, 7:26pm

BYU has as many Pac 12 championships as utah does

Ojiisan

May 14, 7:29pm

If you ask an Utah fan they’re on par with ND, Bama, and Ohio State. As someone

CycloneCoug

May 14, 7:31pm

I think you’re giving them a little too much credit with those comparisons…

CougarScrub

May 14, 7:38pm

Completely disagree. Compared to who?

TFL

May 14, 7:45pm

I didn’t realize passing up Wyoming, Fresno state, and New Mexico was such a big

Ojiisan

May 14, 7:55pm

I’d say Utah probably went from the top 80 program, To likely a top 30 - 35 program

TFL

May 15, 10:39am

You're certainly correct that they've successfully rewritten their reputation.

Soupie

May 15, 10:42am

Haha! Nice try but no one is mocking the Yewts

BlueKarma

The guy is trying to rewrite history, don't fall for it

Utah AD played their cards about as well as they could given the circumstances. Utah is lucky in the sense that

TFL

May 14, 7:51pm

Are those the bluff cards Utah tried to play to media partners that blew up the PAC?

Soupie

May 14, 7:57pm

The Utah AD failed the minute he either didn’t try to or failed talking sense

BYU '80

May 14, 8:20pm

Perfect reply fits here.

Soupie

I have no use for the uofu. If they ceased to exist no one would care.

Sometimes you just need to take the TFL and move on to the next play
