WE ARE THE PAC 12!!!!!

[OrangeUte]

Meh, I've never felt much either way about Utah. If CSU were leaving I'd be full of spite and malice and my days would be consumed by a black, bilious rage. With Utah I've never been able to muster that. Sure we played a few games (80+ I believe) but for the majority of the time that I've been conscious of utah they sucked and thus were a non-entity. Even with their recent success I haven't been able to shake the blah feeling I have toward them. In short utah has been someone you played a couple times a year but otherwise not someone you wasted much thought or energy on, like UNLV or SDSU. And their inclusion in the pac-12 has only served to strengthen that feeling.

That being said I've enjoyed, for the most part, my interactions with ute fans. But there's plenty of other opponents out there to banter with so no loss.

okay - this made the sadness go away about leaving wyoming... :-)

i cannot wait for the PAC 12 BABY!!!!!!!

In other words, they're Wyoming to you.

I can see where Wyoming might elicit that response from some folks. I can see where every team in America might elicit that response from some folks. I have absolutely no emotional response to everyone in the Big East, Sun Belt, Big 12, Big 10, MAC, Conference USA, ACC, SEC, WAC, most of the PAC-10 and the various independents. I say most of the PAC-10 because I'm marginally an OSU fan for familial reasons.

I thought that's what urine-bombs were for, so that they remember you next time.

That this has been the Wyoming approach to the Utes seems obvious from the series record: Utah leads 50-31.

Since I've framed the debate, and my neutrality towards utah, around my lifetime, the overall record is 16-22 in Utah's favor with Utah's advantage coming well outside my formative years.

It's also interesting to note that if you take out the background noise (aka the pre-WWII leather helmet era) the two are dead even. Which is about as neutral as you can get. I'd never actually looked at that until you mentioned it.

[SeattleUte]

Adios.

landpoke, it's just business.

Fair enough. I do have a hunch, however, that if you look at the record over the last 20 years Utah will be pretty significantly on top. But I don't know. And despite your heartless attitude toward Utah, I want you to know I always cared deeply about Wyoming. Last Christmas I went out of my way to chat up a guy who was wearing Wyoming gear and picking up pies at a Salt Lake Marie Callender's. I congratulated him on Wyo's bowl win and the improvement in its program. He seemed like a great guy. (That wasn't you, was it?)

Would you prefer vaya con dios? I understand that as it stands today college football is amateur in name only and thus why Utah is jumping. I guess I will contradict myself a bit and say I do think the jump is a pity as I believe you're losing far more than you're gaining. Then again most ute fans won't see it that way as you can't put a dollar amount on what is lost.

5 and 13 in Utah's favor. I suppose I should stop this line of reasoning lest I be accused of maintaining a zoobish consistency.

I don't believe I've ever been to a Marie Callender's, let alone one in Salt Lake City. Was the guy from Pinedale by chance? I know a Poke fan from Pinedale who lives there.

Oh, well. He and I had a nice talk. I always enjoy talking with people from other schools in my conference after they've won a bowl game.

YO, if you can be just a little bit nice to me I will let you sit next to me in RES when Utah plays a PAC-10 team. I'll even let you eat some of my popcorn. Would that be fun for you?

lol nominate for cuffie. (who's keeping track of these?) landpoke and YOhio teaming up to roast Utefans as gross nouveau riche. It doesn't get any better than this (since 3D left).

A deep and abiding familial love of sheep.
