Ha! BYU as an outsider, crashed the party and took the title. The Bowl Coalition, Bowl Alliance, BCS, and now an exclusive playoffs were developed to keep teams like BYU from crashing the party again. I'd say that every title has some degree of taint, especially now.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostComment

LOL @ SU claiming "Elite 8" and "Sweet 16" appearances in years in which those were just the second round, and when the NCAA tournament wasn't the big deal.
So yeah, congrats on your national championship in 1944 when the tourney was a whopping 16 teams and the best teams didn't even go to the NCAA. Not to mention a lot of the best players were probably busy saving the world anyway.
Edit: the field was actually only 8 before 1951.
Count those Elite 8 appearances with pride!

Lawmakers were spurred to scrutinize the role collegiate sports in Utah, Urquhart said, after the University of Utah decided to put its basketball rivalry with Brigham Young University on hold, and the proposal to help Weber came after Urquhart and other lawmakers met with coaches and athletic directors around the state."You interns are like swallows. You shit all over my patients for six weeks and then fly off."

Football is a warlike game, suitable for training cadets to kick Nazi tail."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."
