Didn't ESPN make the case that BYU was in the top 25 programs a few years back?

Seeing a few people saying that Utah will get left out of super conferences

Sale

The flagship program in a state with a population approaching 3.5 million with

Backcountry

He said Utah, not BYU.

BYU is THE University of Utah

Typical delusional Utah fans, what else do you expect from them.

BYUtka

7/25/21 11:53am

You're a really strange guy. Pretty special way of looking at the world.

Backcountry

7/25/21 12:10pm

What do you mean?

BYUtka

7/25/21 12:13pm

I mean you epitomize everything bad about BYU fans

Backcountry

7/25/21 12:47pm

In what way? Loyal, strong and true? Cheering for BYU over Utah? Thanking

BYUtka

7/25/21 12:51pm

Probably that you don’t want BYU to go back to the MWC like BackCountry does.

GeorgeAlbertsgoatie

Sounds like a really bad person. Thanks for warning us?

Whoa, chill…he’s just expressing his opinion. No need to go personal

"Pot?" "Yeah?" "You are never going to believe this, man."

‘SEC will invite BYU because of national brand, value’.

DrJazzy

7/25/21 2:15pm

It wouldnt shock me to hear that.

Backcountry

7/25/21 2:16pm

Of course a Yewt fan wouldn't be shocked. They are delusional about BYU fans.

BYUtka

7/25/21 2:26pm

Link to where I said that? I don't recall saying that or anything like that.

BYUtka

7/25/21 2:23pm

When quoting someone, appropriate practice is to link to their statement

Sale

7/25/21 2:45pm

Hard to do when the "quote" is entirely made up.

FYI, an admiralty ship is usually a super carrier, not a frigate.

LEDSFW

Except that program has the religion issue, unfortunately

LiveCoug

A whole 3.5 million?!

Kerbouchard

Like UConn? Or New Mexico?

Quick short Story

Riveting story. Simply phenomenal.

Backcountry

7/25/21 12:27pm

You're a really strange guy. Pretty special way of looking at your posts.

BYUtka

7/25/21 12:31pm

Actually it was real, but that wasn’t really my point

gmoney7

7/25/21 2:28pm

Notice your only thumbs up are from ute fans. Least you’re in the correct comp.

gmoney7

7/25/21 2:41pm

That confirms my point about there being a lot of ridiculous and out of touch

Backcountry

7/25/21 2:46pm

I guess being a Ute fan is better , congrats 👍🏽

gmoney7

7/25/21 3:00pm

You and byutka need to get a room

Backcountry

BYUtka

7/25/21 3:12pm

I can see that really stuck with ya. Its legitimately true though.

Backcountry

7/25/21 3:21pm

Is it? How interesting. I honestly feel sorry for you.

BYUtka

7/25/21 3:55pm

I honestly feel sorry for your wife

Backcountry

7/25/21 5:29pm

Uh-oh, looks like I hurt your feelies. Thankfully your team has a cry closet.

BYUtka

7/25/21 7:17pm

The way you’ve defined it, that is BYU.

No one outside of this board or the state of Utah gives a flip about Utah

Gator

7/25/21 11:57am

Utah is a flyover state, it's hard for Utahns to accept that

Hotlanta

7/25/21 12:02pm

So is Oklahoma. Flyover state is a stupid term.

dYrtbYkerYder

7/25/21 12:04pm

I accept it, and wish more people would just fly over!!

BYURider

7/25/21 12:31pm

I mean, outside of sports, we like being a flyover state and not a move-in state

runnincoug

7/25/21 12:32pm

Meh. Not really. I know a lot of people who regularly vacation to Utah.

You’re living in the past

Flyover state?

HONOMO

7/25/21 5:48pm

Not true. I once saw a car in AZ with a sticker that showed the stupid hand

crack

7/25/21 12:09pm

I’m sure there are fans or alum here or there but I’m living in SEC country

Gator

7/25/21 12:34pm

So what you're saying is you saw a car in Arizona from Dade County Florida.

Probably a Miami fan

BYU-Laie

7/25/21 4:41pm

Probably the case in almost every state.

Stev_ie

7/25/21 1:02pm

Lol the same can be said of BYU.

DrJazzy

7/25/21 2:16pm

Didn’t say it couldn’t be said about BYU. The topic was Utah

Gator

7/25/21 6:23pm

There are tons of people around the country who care about BYU. Can't

FieroCoug

Fair point.

DrJazzy

7/26/21 3:30pm

Utah being left out is a fantasy on this board, but it won’t happen

LifelongAP

7/25/21 12:15pm

The only way would be if there was a breakaway by the top

Carnac

7/25/21 12:59pm

Maybe, but all that does is put Utah consistently at the top of the rest. I don’t see a bad option for Utah

TFL

7/25/21 4:29pm

Yeah but they are no longer riding the coat tails of the big boys, that means

Go_Banana

7/25/21 6:39pm

Sounds a little myopic

TFL

7/25/21 7:55pm

I agree with all your points, but the fact still remains their money would drop

Go_Banana

7/26/21 9:29am

Fully biased and way too optimistic…

DrJazzy

7/26/21 3:32pm

Who is biased and optimistic?

Go_Banana

7/26/21 4:58pm

I am clearly.

DrJazzy

7/26/21 5:41pm

Oh, I didnt think you were serious. But you doubled down… Sounds good…

Go_Banana

7/26/21 6:44pm

You don’t get it. Let’s say the blue bloods create their own conference

TFL

7/26/21 11:16pm

Lol, I get your point, but it’s not the entire picture. Utes are with the big

Go_Banana

7/27/21 9:33am

Still the miss the point though. This is why Utah is in a good position.

TFL

7/27/21 11:56am

I am not missing your point, I understand Utah has done well with less vs the

You keep missing the point. Let's review your argument lien by line

I’ll join your lame response… YOU missed the point …. LOL

Meh...outside of maybe 10-12 programs at most, every school - P5 or not — has a ceiling. Nobody

If the cut is at 32, Utah does not make the cut.

Rocketman

7/25/21 2:17pm

Probably. But others (Colorado, Nebraska, Wisconsin) would likely be as well

reddead

7/25/21 3:44pm

Wisconsin would. Nebraska would be borderline

Carnac

7/25/21 4:13pm

Good post, I agree. BYU wouldn’t make a 32 team conference & neither would Utah
