The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Jeff Lebowski]

I never knew being back in a conference with Utah would be so fun. Thank you, Ute fans for being the most unlikable and entitled fanbase in America.

It is so bizarre. They just keep doubling down.

Did something happen?

No. The Pac 12 is still fine.

Now you're just being mean.

The best football conference in the world is dissolving into the western steppe of the BIGX, the western pod of the BIGXII, the western satellite of the ACC, and the dominant two teams in the MWC. Such a waste

But if you are just worried about random people on X, carry on.

Hey, have you heard the latest? It turns out Utah played a central role in messing up the P12 media rights negotiation by insisting on a counteroffer that grossly overestimated their value ($50M/yr).

But if you are just worried about random people on X, carry on.

Oh, it's not random. It is a consistent behavior by ute fans on twitter. Like the U president, they grossly overestimate their prestige/value/status/etc.

Who said I was worried about them? It's delightful.

Also I find it a little funny that the PAC 12 is having its best year in decades and it is causing PAC12 fans to lament the loss of "the best football conference." Never mind that most seasons in the past 20 years it has been a pile of football garbage outside of one dominant team (usually Oregon or USC, bur rarely both simultaneously). Exhibit A is the number of appearances in BCS title games and the CFP since the end of the Pete Carrol era. Exhibit B is Utah rising to the top of the conference in the past 4 years. Exhibit C is Utah will have at least four conference losses in this season when there are actually good teams.

Not to mention that PAC12 teams haven't supported their teams by filling stadiums in years. Best football conference in the world? Least supportive fan bases in the world.

Your words, dude. Don’t be fatuous, Jeffrey.

[Clark Addison]

The number grows weekly

I went to Baylor, and there were fewer fans there than when I've gone to asu/u of a/usc. Maybe more than ucla. Definitely more than Stanford.

Anyway, I'll take an empty stadium in Palo Alto over a full one in Lubbock.

Don't be so myopic! You (and soon to be I) root for a big xii team. A big xii without Oklahoma and Texas! Not a whole lot of tradition left in that group.

Then definitely stay in P2.

My new favorite thing is when Ute fans say something terrible (racist, sexist, and/or clearly wrong), and other Utie Patootie’s postulate that it’s a byu fan. Yes. Portland Ute and Utes Stats and Analysis are byu burner accounts…..
