I’ll give Utah their props though.

Imagine being a team that is so wanted and valuable, that when USC and UCLA are

Utah is the hot girl that never gets asked out because everyone assumes she’s

Or just ugly with an awful personality

Yeah, I was going to add something like that at the end. But couldn’t think of

I'd say on the crazy/hot matrix, Utah is about a 6.5/3.5 respectively. Would you date that?

I bet TNT would

Hot girl? Yeah.....no

Only great teams can force other teams to score more points than them.

Um…bruh…those two mega programs that left for greener pastures were

TFL

Compared to UCLA, Utah is just a splash in the pan.

Jeffacka

7/4/22 6:21pm

But not when we were on a level playing field. Utah: 5-game win streak with a 27 pt avg mov vs UCLA

TFL

7/4/22 6:26pm

And yet....the Big 10 wanted UCLA and not Utah.

WJCougar

7/4/22 6:29pm

The population of LA > all of Utah

TFL

7/4/22 6:32pm

Utah has 15 years of history.

Jeffacka

7/4/22 6:53pm

18 years. But yeah, it’s amazing how quickly Utah passed programs up

TFL

7/4/22 8:31pm

And Utah is less desirable.

Belboz

7/4/22 7:44pm

Agreed. But That’s the whole point. U of U with no history, in BYU’s shadow

TFL

7/4/22 8:34pm

PAC 12 has been in a decline. It was a dying conference before last week

Belboz

7/4/22 8:38pm

Yep. But don’t bag on Utah for peaking when everyone else struggled. Utah had to overcome

TFL

7/4/22 8:52pm

Yeah, I'll save the "bagging" for their fans as they pay for tattoo removal

Belboz

7/4/22 9:00pm

This is true, but I’d say the same for Cincy, UCF, Boise, heck even BYU

BYU-Laie

7/5/22 12:07am

Boise hasn’t ran the table though in the more competitive MW.

TFL

7/5/22 12:35am

BYU dominated the MW for much longer than Utah

BYU-Laie

7/5/22 12:40am

I agree with your point, but I doubt you’re all that excited for their fans

BYU-Laie

7/5/22 12:05am

As if that has anything to do with being desired in conference expansion

Belboz

7/4/22 6:33pm

Hardly a level playing field. Coaching matters a lot. Utah has had better coach.

Y05

7/4/22 6:38pm

Not one conference would take Utah over UCLA. Not one.

Jeffacka

7/4/22 6:52pm

What? I don’t follow. Of course they wouldn’t. UCLA is an awesome academic school in LA

TFL

7/4/22 8:39pm

RE: Um…bruh…those two mega programs that left for greener pastures were

unctoothman

7/4/22 6:22pm

They left because they were afraid of future Utah? LOL

Avery

7/4/22 6:25pm

No. But making fun of Utah as they leave is silly.

TFL

7/4/22 6:29pm

Making fun of Utah is never silly.

WJCougar

7/4/22 6:30pm

Yep, and Ute smack talk over the two departing programs has a plethora of ammo. Fun times.

TFL

7/4/22 6:33pm

But Utah is small and USC is huge.

Belboz

7/4/22 6:34pm

Yeah, everyone gets that. Utah was a worthless, lowly WAC school that is somehow outplaying

TFL

7/4/22 8:43pm

Yeah. That's definitely a fun peripheral discussion.

Belboz

7/4/22 8:47pm

Yes. Hard to admit, but Utah became equal to BYU on the field around the late

BYU-Laie

7/5/22 12:14am

Nice post. Last paragraph is a little off. They skipped BYU for a home-home with

TFL

7/5/22 12:40am

So Utah was actually invited to the big 10, and not UCLA?

Ojiisan

7/4/22 6:28pm

No Utah forced the B10 to invite UCLA

RGGeemer

7/4/22 6:35pm

I like this play better 😏

Rising dynasty in a conf division? I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not

zerome4sooners

7/4/22 7:40pm

I bet you think Utah played their way into the PAC12, too…am I right?

VACOUGFAN

7/4/22 8:01pm

Nah I heard they jumped because after last year, the PAC12 was looking to add BYU so they could have a division winner

unctoothman

7/4/22 9:27pm

Dynasty? Lol. I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

7/4/22 11:30pm

And yet, here is Utah, hat in hand, asking for membership in BYU’s conference. Love the karma.

So did utah force usc and ucla to join the Big10?
