  • I'm confused

    Are the timeframes used for Utah dominance different based on program? In football, 2007 is ancient history. Yet when discussing the basketball program, it's perfectly okay to hearken back to the Majerus years.

In football, 2007 is ancient history. 1972 is the starting point and skipping most of the 90s and 00s (up to 2007) is also acceptable. Yet when discussing the basketball program, it's perfectly okay to hearken back to the Majerus talk about the last three years or so.
    Fixed that for you.

      I'm perfectly happy saying that the Utes have a much better basketball tradition than BYU. I'm not the one spinning this. But if 2007 is ancient history, how can the U claim any sort of basketball tradition?

        That's a fair question and I'll assume that when you say "the U" you mean "many of the fans of the U".

        Of course, I'm of the belief that history includes every season in which a team has competed so I count 'em all.

          This is little brother stuff. Let's try to retain some dignity.

            He's merely trying to drum up support against my POV by starting another thread. Never mind that he had to twist my words to get to this point in the first place.

              My apologies. You said "maybe" ancient history. But you also said 2007 is definitely not recent history. LOL. Dude if there are still players on the squad that were there for the season, that's recent history.

                Point taken, but I doubt there are more than a half-dozen players on the 2010 team that were on the two-deep in 2007.

                  Perhaps that is what has gotten FM's panties in a knot. His team is now the little brother. Perhaps even, infant brother.
