Put it this way. Purdue doesn't need to play Notre Dame (hansel)

Put it this way. Purdue doesn't need to play Notre Dame

every year. They have a great conference schedule without them. But Purdue does play Notre Dame every year. Why? Because they recognize that they get a lot out of that game.

You can call it fear, but it's really just business (long)

I disagree

Well, sure, it's not set in stone

That is the top of your wish list. I just isn't true.

Silly Ute, nobody knows about Utah elsewhere (nm)

Douger

That's what I thought too, really. It was interesting. (nm)

Utah =/= USC. BYU =/= ND. (short)

VirginiaUte

Yet it blows 99% of his arguments out of the water (nm)

cougarick

Apr 16, 09:13am

Why do you think that?

VirginiaUte

Apr 16, 09:21am

You don't give up a game with your only rival, period (nm)

cougarick

Apr 16, 09:24am

I'm on your side with that opinion.

VirginiaUte

Apr 16, 09:27am

It blows conference significance and SOS issues,

cougarick

Apr 16, 09:33am

I would argue that USC/ND aren't in same market

VirginiaUte

Apr 16, 09:38am

ND pulls recruits from SoCal (nm)

Steve O'Rama

In a strange way, it actually supports the initial argument.

Matthute

RE: Utah =/= USC. BYU =/= ND.

SaltLakeCoug

Easy answer - Utah is not USC

Medute

Apr 16, 04:20pm

So, fear of the risk of injuries and missing a bowl game? (nm)

Abe Froman

Apr 16, 05:30pm

And money (remember the business part) (nm)

Medute

Apr 16, 05:35pm

But not "just business", as per your OP. Fear, also. (nm)

Abe Froman

Apr 16, 06:03pm

Stanford and Notre Dame

Hoosier Coug

Apr 16, 08:07am

That just shows the hypocrisy of the PAC. (nm)

Douger

Not the Pac. Utah.

Exactly right. A huge gamble to take with

Seriously? Did you not notice that a 10 win BYU team

jt04

Yep..."all in" makes for great movies, but it can

BluePete

There's plenty of bigger OOC rivalries

Douger

Hear me now.

Mister P

I agree. I don't see Utah being more successful in the pac

I can see that happening (nm)

Apr 16, 08:31am

Yep. Good point. I can't see why the average P12 athlete

BluePete

Seriously? Have you been to Tuscon? Pullman? Corvalis?

jt04

Apr 16, 12:04pm

I can see that, only way that would be reversed

Heinz57

I hope he says yes. It's a good rivalry. (nm)

SouthernCoug

Very possible. (nm)

Yes, Utah's future dependent on BYU's graces.

Wow. Just wow. A yewt talking about backsliding into

IceBlue

Apr 16, 10:37am

For starters, the game will be played now and again

Matthute

Apr 16, 01:18pm

Oh, so we'll play it when you want. (short)

Douger

Apr 16, 01:44pm

I like having the game and I would rather it continue but if

Don't forget the Rose Bowl "birth". (nm)

Abe Froman

Maybe I should approach it like a Y fan

Medute

Apr 16, 04:32pm

Or, you could get the point. Berth <> birth.

Abe Froman

Apr 16, 05:44pm

Rant - I don't think that word means what you think it means

Medute

Apr 16, 04:31pm

So USC isn't playing Notre Dame anymore?

cmck1724

I've come to the same terms with it is as you have, I think.

It's looks like fear to me

VirginiaUte

Any explanation you can offer about why

bigbluecougar

Apr 16, 10:52am

Yeah...we're done here. (nm)

VirginiaUte

Apr 16, 11:02am

Are the utes afraid of injury?

bigbluecougar

Apr 16, 10:38am

This will tell a lot about the integrity of Utah IMO

Or lack thereof. (nm)

In today's culture, I doubt BYU would act differently.

sheriffcreg

Ya we are. We dragged you along for thirty years

Douger

Apr 16, 10:22am

Bull. If you had the offer and Utah didn't (short)

Duhwayne

Apr 16, 10:28am

Yes. We actually did. (nm)

IceBlue

Apr 16, 10:39am

Really? Which one? (short)

Duhwayne

Apr 16, 10:42am

Just because Utah benefited more 1970-2000...

sheriffcreg

Apr 16, 10:31am

BYU is different. I'm not saying "better", but different,

ocmyhome

Apr 16, 10:30am

Yes, you are special. (nm)

Duhwayne

Apr 16, 10:38am

Yup, true colors there... (nm)

ocmyhome

Apr 16, 10:41am

And yet this attitude may have gotten TCU a Big 12 invite. (nm)

jt04

Apr 16, 12:05pm

These hypotheticals don't do any good

Medute

Apr 16, 04:36pm

to be fair, one can't logically be upset w/ Utah

ocmyhome

Apr 16, 04:57pm

That's why I mentioned the tradition as the only positive

Medute

Apr 16, 05:15pm

Like it or not, it helps you recruit here. (nm)

Douger

Apr 16, 05:18pm

I don't think so

Medute

Apr 16, 05:36pm

Kids are silly and easily influenced.

Douger

Apr 16, 05:50pm

nice gif, btw. Hilarious. (nm)

That's my point. (nm)

Why do I get the suspicion, though, that the Yewts just

FierceArc

Apr 16, 10:33am

Yes, it probably has to do with how to handle BYU.

Apr 16, 10:37am

The number of recruits they compete for is fairly small

No disagreement here. BYU would have to do the same thing (short)

bluefish

Apr 16, 11:58am

Completey disagree

Douger

Apr 16, 12:03pm

Maybe that is why TCU is the Big 12 and not BYU. (nm)

jt04

Apr 16, 12:09pm

I think that's a whole different can of worms (nm)

Douger

Apr 16, 12:12pm

You're probably right. I was being snarky. ;) (nm)

jt04

Apr 16, 01:32pm

doesn't matter what you call it

It's not fear. It's the fact that they have moved on
