Utes vs. Huskies official thread

I don't think that is true at all. 8-4 in the PAC and you are just another above average BCS team. 13-0 in the MWC you become a BCS buster and a media darling.

And you know this how...?

[Blueintheface]

Did something happen to him? I hope not.

Lol. He's fine I'm sure.

[UtahDan]

You shouldn't. Wynn looked fine in the first half, hitting guys in stride and taking shots deep. You beat ASU next week and the conference title game is still in play.

That would not surprise me, but the bottom line is we are 0-2 and Wynn has a separated non-throwing shoulder apparently.

I think one of the things the program will need to adjust to is that you can't have performances like this, even against the bottom half of your conference, and think you are going to win. Seems like we had games like this in previous years but when you are playing UNM or SDSU you still win. Not in a BCS conference.

[NorthwestUteFan]

I'm not giving up on this team. whit is good when his team faces adversity.

I hope this is a 27-0 UNLV moment for Whitt. This will be a HUGE motivation for the team and coaches this week.

If it means you're 6-6 every year, 8-4 in good years and 4-8 in bad years, are you still stoked? I'm not saying that's what will happen, but it is a possibility and I'm asking myself the same question about BYU in the B12.

Yes, without question. Think about it. Every Saturday in the fall, from today forward and forever, Utah will be playing PAC games. Every Saturday is a great game and team to get up to play.

Tonight we lost. But we have already won.

Washington is 2-0 in the pac12. They aren't in the bottom half of the conference.

On the otherhand this might be the game that catapults the Huskies back into top tier. College football is awesome and terrible. A fickle mistress to be sure.

Sorry if this has been posted. Hard to tell on my handheld:

Maybe this will help Vai to feel better.

I think we should spare a thought or two for those poor guys who went to the game and are now watching Priesthood Session on tape delay. Rough night for them.

8-4 in the PAC12 gets more respect than 13-0 in the MWC. I'd have to say yes, though it's not an emphatic yes.

It doesn't. 13-0 MWC gets you thumping Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. 8-4 PAC gets you honorable mention and 'maybe next year.'

Utah and (hopefully) BYU might just be getting a bad case of be careful what you wish for.

In the long run, however, I believe teams respond to the challenge and up their game. But the long run isn't the short run. And getting from here to there can be painful.

But they were projected to be in the bottom half weren't they? If not then point taken.

[doctorcoug]

Come on, guys, you made my cougars look worse than we thought they were.

SU: you're team is in serious trouble, eat it.

The rest: I sure hope your team pulls it together.

Meanwhile BYU is playing the little sisters of the poor in hopes that their in the field performance garners them immunity from speaking in the following week's fireside.

Pussy.

I think washington will finish with 3 conference losses (oregon, stanford & usc). Puts them in the sun bowl.

Are the BYU players not allowed to say no if asked to speak at a fireside?
