    Unlike others...

    when I am wrong, I am man enough to admit it. (Yes, I'm talking about you, SU).

    I was completely wrong when I said that the U would never get an invite to the PAC 10. Now that it's happened, I will gladly eat crow. I'll even let SU gloat about it and not post any retorts to anything nasty he may say about me.

      See, I wouldn't have said never, I was just taking a wait and see approach. I waited, I saw, everything is great.

          You took the easy way out, IPU. You said that a very desireable thing would never happen. That way if it didn't, you wouldn't look like a fool. But if it did, you could rejoice with the rest.

          Maybe that was the smart way out.
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                  I didn't say NEVER, but I thought it unlikely.

                  Just texted my buddy who's son graduated from HS and asked if he was going to PAC-10 powerhouse Utah. Felt good to say it.

                          I said I'd believe it when I saw it. Well, I've seen it.
                          “There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

                          "God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."

                              Excellent guideline. Under estimate and over deliver (Utah) vs. over estimate and under deliver (Larry Scott).
