2024 is going to be a riot. I mean, it already is fun because BYU fans and Big 12 twitterati convinced

themselves Utah was out because of a few obnoxious twitter fans. (They annoy everyone...lol)

Literally, believing the Big 12 brass would pass on Utah in favor of Memphis or SDSU for such a silly reason. That didn't last.

Then it's this idea Utah would be a target for holding out and would get crushed in the new conference. We'll see. Could happen but that's not looking good.

Not only is Utah accepted the minute they come to the table...but possibly at better terms than anyone else.

Good stuff.

That's going to make every win that much more enjoyable.

Make that four...Colorado agreed to Big 12 membership for 99 years while Utah negotiated an exemption from that portion of the Bylaws. Caught this while preparing a summary of the differences between Cal's, Oregon's, UCLA's, Utah's and Colorado's conference membership… https://t.co/FqhHAUORDa

Can we still kick them out?

Not without cause.

That should be easy.

Utah wasn't a simp that begged to get in. They wouldn't be upset

TFL

May 14, 6:56pm

Utah was on it's hands and knees with nowhere to go.

Jeffacka

Lol yes that’s exactly what happened.

DrJazzy

No. It was a package deal the big 12 held their nose over.

It's a little beside the point. What market did you bring that the Big 12 desperately needed?

Bob Vance

They should be in the ACC.

bluegaucho

They should be in the MWC with WSU and OSU

Nope, they waited until the sunk the Pac12 ship to come in

Just to clarify. Last 20 seasons: Utah 183-81...Kansas 86-167...I believe KU does have more

Where did he mention football?

Dream scenario among those he would have to settle for

Boise St. was probably a conference newcomer and favorite a time or 2

NYC and Japan

May 14, 8:11pm

Boise State University’s last two conference moves were out of necessity …

May 14, 9:22pm

Necessity and a favorite aren’t mutually exclusive, even when each of those move

NYC and Japan

May 14, 9:28pm

I don’t understand your post. You said …

May 14, 11:37pm

Agreed. Good example

TFL

May 15, 12:15am

Sure Yormark may have wanted you. That's fine. But without Yormark and the B12...where would you be right now, today?

May 14, 10:00pm

With Ore St & Wazzu. Or maybe they would have stole from the MWC to rebrand it.

Soupie

May 14, 10:08pm

And Kansas has won 2 basketball national titles in the last 20 years, plus

CycloneCoug

KU is an elite MBB program. BYU winning at the Allen Fieldhouse ending a long winning streak was an awesome moment

TFL

Kinda cool that you know about that game. I couldn't tell you the outcome

I like BYU as well.

Do Utah fans pride themselves on having no self awareness?

Hey now, we are trying to get beards allowed here.

VenomFarmer

May 14, 11:43pm

And yet Kansas still brings in way more revenue than Utah does by a large margin

slatecoug

May 14, 8:25pm

Yep, so why is their FB team so inferior? Utah is a mediocre, mid-tier school

TFL

May 15, 12:27am

The real question is why is Utah so financially unstable and always needing tax money to float their athletics?

There's a difference between not begging to join and going out of your way to

I agree. But the few comments you're referring to were a reaction to this simp concept. Big 12 fans were rightfully

Dude. No one is anxious. We’re in ah at the pure lack of self-awareness & social cues.

Meh…you’re just new to P5 world. No one is self aware. Every fan base is myopic, that’s what makes it fun

Think I get it more than you know. Grad school at Ohio St taught a little abt bitter rivals. Family from an SEC school

Thank you for your post. I actually agree with everything you said...except you have it backwards...

Feel there's an impression BYU fans are more obsessed than we are because this is the subject you happen to

CycloneCoug

Yeah, agreed. That’s what will make it all fun.

TFL

May 15, 10:41am

What were Utah's other options if there had been no B12 invite? Was Utah going to join WSU and OSU and be the Pac3?

SierraCoug

May 14, 7:59pm

And no one is suggesting Utah grovels or kisses the XII ring. Just don’t be complete ego jerks.

Soupie

May 15, 1:03am

Utah really hasn’t accomplished much in football

Ojiisan

May 14, 7:25pm

This is the funny part. They act like a football power but have nothing but 2 Rose Bowl LOSSES to show.

Soupie

May 14, 7:26pm

BYU has as many Pac 12 championships as utah does

Ojiisan

May 14, 7:29pm

If you ask an Utah fan they’re on par with ND, Bama, and Ohio State. As someone

CycloneCoug

May 14, 7:31pm

I think you’re giving them a little too much credit with those comparisons…

CougarScrub

Completely disagree. Compared to who?

I didn’t realize passing up Wyoming, Fresno state, and New Mexico was such a big

I’d say Utah probably went from the top 80 program, To likely a top 30 - 35 program

You're certainly correct that they've successfully rewritten their reputation.

Haha! Nice try but no one is mocking the Yewts

May 14, 7:51pm

Are those the bluff cards Utah tried to play to media partners that blew up the PAC?

Soupie

May 14, 7:57pm

The Utah AD failed the minute he either didn’t try to or failed talking sense

Perfect reply fits here.
