of the supposed time we were supposed to be at the height of the pride cycle. Max Hall made his comments in 2009 because of the beatdown that Utah gave him in 2008 and all the garbage they said and did that game. If anything, 2009 and Max's rant was Utah getting humbled more than BYU being at the top of the pride cycle. We had just got the doors blown off the previous year and Utah was coming off one of their greatest seasons in the history of their program.
