U vs. Y '12

[Jarid in Cedar]

Okay. There has been some talk about the banner by a vocal minority. I'll explain. I was looking for one of those classic pictures looking down the line of scrimmage where both teams are helmet to helmet, but the only ones I could find were of years past when the teams wore home-away jerseys. I wanted to find one from last years game where the teams were both wearing home jerseys because that's what they'll be doing this year. I didn't see any and then I happened upon this shot of Tree gettin' all up in the face of John Cullen and I thought it was a great pic. That's it. I didn't mean to make BYU fans with an inferiority complex or short people feel bad. I just liked the picture. Here's the original.

It is exacerbating BYU fans inferiority complex. I like it!

That explains it. I no longer have any reservations and now fully support the banner.

Cullen is totally trying to hold his hand!

Thank you for explaining why the banner is awful.

Good H3LL! It's the prize selection at a carny ring toss.

Like Utah's undefeated season in 2008? IIRC, lots of lucky, close wins for that team.

I don't have a problem admitting that fate or good fortune smiled upon us that year (It should be noted that three of those close wins were against bowl teams and two of them ended the season ranked. Michigan was one of those games where Utah should have won by more and I have no excuse for 4-8 New Mexico other than the fact that Utah has historically struggled against UNM).

It just connects with my overall premise that over time, those things even out. For me, 2008 was payback for 1998, when Utah went 7-4, didn't lose a game by more than a FG, had three of its losses decided on kicks at the end of regulation and its combined margin of defeat for the season was 11 points.

Of course, Ryan Kaneshiro vs. Louie Sakoda isn't a fair fight, so what I'm saying about close games could be viewed as a better argument for the importance of kickers than it is about randomness and probability.

I'd like to know more about those two little chairs in the middle left of the photo.

gfy.

I like it, notwithstanding Donut's explanation for why.

Two more boneheaders players you could not find. Altho Tree is not so bad so far this year.

I'm guessing no one will be saying that in a few days.

Cullen's not on the team anymore. But really, both of them committed such stoopid errors last year.

Ignore the haters. I like the banner.

Well-done. Better than I could have hoped, really. The second payment is now secure. Just don't blow it.
