And he mentioned that he was worried about UTAH having too much pride this year. I hope he’s right and Utah just assumes they will win. 8 is too much and is why I hate this game.

I’m grasping for any answers. 8 in a row is unfathomable.

It’s relatively simple.. better players + better coaching + a little bit better

I’d say some of that is overblown and it boils down

Maybe. But also keep in mind that college football can be a shady business and the BOT may be limited in how far that

Your post is spot on, that’s how I feel anyway.

I'd buy that if Utah didn't have their magical season right smack in the middle

The Max Hall curse is about hatred, not pride

One could argue that hatred stems from pride.

In defense of Max, it wasnt like his rant was unprovoked. Not excusing it, but when fans are being vulgar to your mother

Do you really believe his story? You know he told the exact same story

ALUF 1990

Don't know him personally, but I have experienced first hand the nasty and vile nature of some Utah fans so it never

utah barely won the last 8 too, besides 54-10. that's just the way the games go.

It's a ridiculous notion to suggest that fan pride has any bearing
