last night Andre Miller moved to 11th on the NBA All Time Assists Leaders ...

Detmer had not played in more of his team's games midway through his first season than Miller has in his whole career.

Well, that does it. I had been on the fence of this whole BYU vs. Utah thing but now, reading this thread and seeing this post's impeccable logic in particular, I guess I just have to concede the greatness that is Utah! Look, a basketball player played in more games than a football player! And, gosh, the same basketball player is eleventh all time in assists in the NBA! What more proof could anyone ever present to show the superiority of Utah? Could it be any plainer? My only regret is that it took Miller 15 years to rise to eleventh to allow me to see this truth.

But seriously, ladies and germs, isnt this whol line of argument a bit silly?

I love the irony of Ute fans using Millers longevity as a milestone. These same fans were ripping Ty Detmer for never doing anything in the NFL but holding a clipboard for 15 seasons. Whoops.

rivalries aside, this is a good thing for Andre Miller. I'm surprised that it hasn't even been mentioned in any SLC media outlets. Maybe they're waiting for him to break the top 10?

Also, I agree with UD's comment earlier. If Jimmer can stay in the league half as long as Miller has then he will have been a great success.

For truly the first time in his career I lament his not playing for the Jazz. He would be a fantastic and calming addition to this psychophrenic team.

I congratulate Jimmer on even getting into the NBA, which only truly elite players ever accomplish.

Top Ute's book comes in at a respectable 81,252 on the Amazon best seller list. Not too bad considering a similar book published just 3 weeks earlier with contributions by Bronco and LaVell comes in at a modest 617,790. Props to TopUte for putting out a successful book that fans want.

I guess it's not too hard to crank out a yearly highlight DVD, but who would buy the football DVD from last season? Riley Nelson's family? Ute fans?

Contributions by Bronco and Lavell now that is rich. Associate AD Duff Tittle wrote a book that has been done hundreds of times before. Sorry Ute fans we have a large market so these books generally do very well. He asks Bronco and Lavell a favor just so he can use their names to sell books. BYU fans are not fooled we know who Duff Tittle is and that this book is probably lame.

On top of that this book is also sold at the bookstore why buy from Amazon when you can support your school?

Gotta brush up on your verb tenses, bro.

My promise was about the future, but I hereby congratulate these great athletes who are also, by all accounts, very good men.

I promise that if a former BYU player ever achieves a top 11 status in any category, I'll congratulate him. You guys just let me know.

Danny Ainge was once 2nd all-time in 3 point shots made. TIA

Steve Young. Career pass rating, career yards per pass attempt, pass completion percentage, etc..

Speaking of 3point records, don't forget Bobby Capener. Go Cape!

For further evidence look where TopUtes book ranks on Amazons best seller list, not sure its cracked the top million yet.
