Utah has a chance but it isn't likely. I'm am pretty sure that Utah will give TCU a better game than BYU did. Not necessarily because I think Utah is the better team. TCU is an awful matchup for BYU. It is similar to how Utah struggles mightily against AFA, but BYU will probably beat them by 21 points this week.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

That's a great poll question!
(I wouldn't even vote "no" on this.)At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Why? When TCU wins, no matter how close, it is very easy to defend the position that Utah had no chance.Originally posted by ERCougar View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

The great thing is, we'll be playing them in week ten, knocking on the top 10's door, and the world watching.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

I'd agree with this. I don't see it as very likely and I'm sure they'll give them a better game, but it's not impossible. Somehow, SU morphed my "I'm not convinced that Utah's better than TCU until they play" into "I don't think Utah has a chance of beating TCU".Originally posted by mpfunk View Post
If Utah beats TCU, I'm seriously impressed with them (and very worried about playing them two weeks later). But given their unconvincing victory last year, I'm not 'scared' yet. And we all know it's all about being scared.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

For the record, Utah has absolutely no chance at winning the National Championship, either. Sorry, just being honest!Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Utah's D keeps it close, which is why I think the Utes have a chance to win. Especially if our FG defense is as good as it was last year.

So you're predicting a Utah win, I gather? Because, if Utah doesn't win, that is is essentially conclusive proof that they didn't have a chance.Originally posted by U-Ute View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

This thread is killing me.:igiveup:"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."
"They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."

How can you tell whether the D or the O is keeping it close if the game is, in actuality, close? I suppose if the score is 6-3 in the 4th quarter, you could argue that the D is keeping it close.
What if the score is 27-21 TCU? Did the D keep it close or the O?Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Actually, that was a lie. When Waters put himself up for expulsion on CG you voted for a one year expulsion.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

You know when they tell you not to pick the answer on multiple choice tests that use extreme words such as "absolutely?" This isn't one of those times.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.”Comment

Who knew? This is very deflating for all those who've been predicting that outcome. (Just who are those people? Are they here?)Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
Now, if you are saying Utah can never, ever win the NC, then we'll have to put you in same category as those wo said blacks would never receive the priesthood. Not to mention saving your post to wave in your face some day.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
