      • I somehow came across this "congratulatory" tweet and enjoyed it. I may or may not have been reminded of one of our old friends...

        I think the embedded tweet tool is broken. I am sure it isn't me.

          Would love to read this tweet.
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Nice reference.

For example, Huntley looked okay at Utah, now he is an NFL backup. It doesn't matter who is under center for the Utes, they aren't going to be good.
                BJ comes to mind.

                    • 1) BYU fans doing the whole PAC 12 S champions is dumb

                      2) Utah fans being annoyed and responding to the above claim is dumber.

                        WRONG.

                        BYU as the P12/P12 south champ is funny - which is why countless national sportswriters have been making the joke.

                        Utah fans being upset by the claim is orders of magnitude funnier. Especially the ones who claim that it is offensive because of all of the pain carried by the Utah fan base this year. Or the ones who methodically describe what steps are involved in winning a real championship. Or the ones who claim that all of the P12 teams that byu beat this year are weak (self awareness!). Oh boy.

                          It is pretty funny and it isn't just BYU fans-a smattering of national press folks have been stoking it all year. I don't think they are doing so for BYU's benefit as much to bury the Pac in favor of their Southern or Midwestern conferences which they very much prefer, but BYU gets collateral benefit. So I say God Bless 'Em! When I was reading Utefans I noticed it was really starting to even get under the skin of the ever unflappable Ma'ake.

                          I get, and even agree with, why Utah refused to put enormous, or any, effort into playing BYU on rivalry weekend. With their ascension to the Pac they wanted to create a narrative that Utah moved beyond BYU. To be honest, they had. However, the past two years have demonstrated that BYU didn't go away and came roaring back into the national relevance conversation and very much have become an equal to Kyle's very fine football program. I consider myself a realist but I am outspokenly surprised and impressed how well Kalani and the BYU football program rode out the no mans land wandering of independence. I know right now is not a great time in rivalry emotions for the Utes with not just Utah, but their entire conference, holding onto Y'zguy's belt loop as he and Coug trade Pac 12 teams back and forth for a pack of Pall Malls or unfiltered Camels, but it is time to return the Holy War to rivalry weekend. Both programs deserve to be included in the pantheon of great rivalry games!

                            So true. It's a national meme. uofutah fans can't get out of their own way with all the stupid dumbdumb responses. The latest I've seen is that the loss to BSU makes BYU last in the MWC. Ummmmmmmmm.

                              Amen. I understand the reason why the PAC 10 eschewed BYU, but from an athletics, ratings, and even academics standpoint, it was a really dumb decision, as BYU is Colorado's (not to mention at least half of the then-existing PAC 10's) superior. And the BYU/Utah rivalry was consistent with the other rivalries in terms of proximity and history. But now I'm really happy BYU is where it's at and where it's heading.

                                Doesn't the BSU loss make us 1-1 in the MWC?

                                And come to think of it, isn't Utah 0-1 in the MWC? So by that argument, who exactly is last in the MWC?
