No question. Had BYU just left Utah in the dust they would be in the pac-12 today. And would have had more success but they included Utah and that hampered their growth

BYU virtually carried utah football to where it is today. Without BYU, Utah would be nothing. So it makes me sick to

Or if BYU hadn't hired LaVell would Utah have developed faster.

I just don't get how BYU carried Utah.

They should have left Utah in the WAC.

If BYU could have left Utah behind and didn't, they did the right thing.

2004 doesn’t happen without 1993. McBride built the foundation for the current

Yep. McBride took care of the foundation. Urban then Kyle took it from there.

Urban did so much damage to the rivalry and Whit happily carries it forward

2004 and 2008 would not have happened if Utah were not in the MWC

Hahahaha. BYU forced the MWC to take Utah?

displacedute

Absolutely, they didn't want them

BYU had an instrumental hand in creating the MWC.

So did Utah.

Utah was Robin to BYU's Batman. There was no equal relationship.

Ragnar Danneskjold

11/21/18 8:21pm

Nope. They worked together on that.

Tokolosh

11/21/18 8:27pm

That's cute you believe they were equals.

Ragnar Danneskjold

It’s willful ignorance to believe they didn’t partner on the MWC.

Tokolosh

11/21/18 9:27pm

"Partner"? Yeah.

Ragnar Danneskjold

11/22/18 4:36pm

Nah... Robin never surpassed Batman. Utah is Michael Corleone to BYU's Moe Green.

They didn’t.

Carried?

Utah's early wins mean absolutely nothing for what the program is today.

here's to hoping

11/21/18 3:18pm

Please provide proof that BYU brought UTAH along to the MWC. That is laughable

Freeagent12

11/21/18 3:23pm

That’s common knowledge. BYU left the wac and started the MWC with Utah.

NorthernCougFan

11/21/18 5:27pm

BYU, Utah, and others formed the MWC. It wasn’t a group that had to be convinced

If you really are "old", you definitely should remember BYU paving the path. BYU ran the conferences. Utah was just a

No doubt. Without BYU and the WAC, Utah would be another Utah State.
