      Yes, true. And it could be hard to find given the dozens of times it's happened for different reasons, but I want to know who did it when I said Utah would just be another Arizona in football.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        No it wasn't. It was because I told you guys to temper your expectations.

        I likewise recommend that you masturbate as well. A certain Buckeye fan on the board can provide a link to some pretty nice material.

            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Tangentially you were correct. It was a discussion about the rivalry game not playing the last weekend of the season. And you were pretty much wrong. The Utes had a chance to play themselves into the CCG in 2011, 2014, and 2015. They were eliminated the last weekend in 2011, and the second to last weekend in 2014 and 2015. I don't think that qualifies as a "very long time".

                  Yeah, you really seem like a guy who has a solid grasp on what to expect from Utah's program.

                      Anything incorrect about the fact that Utah was in contention to represent the P-12 South in 2011, 2014, or 2015?

Sure, every 5 years or so, you can have a nice season but to think you are or can be OSU, USC, Alabama, etc. is really not facing the music. Look at Iowa, that is what Nebraska is currently. Embrace it, rather than fire your coach again next year when he goes 8-4 or worse.
                        Although not of late, the fact is that Nebraska has been Ohio St. USC, Alabama (and Oklahoma) over the past 50 years. All of those programs have had down cycles, probably not as long as what Nebraska is currently experiencing, but they have existed. Some, like you, think Nebraska will never be relevant again but I think its a matter of having the "right" coach in place. I don't expect Nebraska to ever go 60-3 over a five-year span again but I do think the Cornhuskers will compete for conference championships and national championships at some point in the future. It might be with Mike Riley at the helm (I have my doubts) or maybe with Scott Frost down the road. Here's an updated table with those programs over the past 50 years (1966-present):

                        School W-L-T Win Pct. National titles Heismans
                        Michigan 433-158-8 .730 1 2
                        Nebraska 475-139-5 .771 5 3
                        Ohio St. 461-130-8 .776 3 4
                        USC 429-163-14 .719 6 6
                        Alabama 460-148-5 .754 6 1
                        Oklahoma 455-143-8 .757 4 4

                                Congrats....in 2011 you were in contention up to the last week because USC was on probation, and yet the Utes couldn't beat their rival to represent the south. In 2014 and 2015 I am not really sure what your point is. I don't find it too impressive to be in contention to rep your division with 2 games to play. Heck WSU was in contention up to that point this year, despite losing to a D-II team.
