"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated" - The Rivalry Thread

[wally]

I think the entire top of the Big12 this year is at best middling.

BYU's best win: Utah at home. That isn't an impressive win at all.
Texas Tech's best win: Utah on the road. Also, not an impressive win at all. They also lost to a bad ASU team.
Utah's best win. ASU and Cincinnati. Neither are good teams.
Cincinnati. Not even sure what is their best win. They haven't beaten a team that would even be a top 50 team.
Houston. Same as Cincinnati.
ASU. Same as Houston/Cincinnati.

The plain fact is that the Big12 is really not good this year. Every ranked team is vastly overrated. Utah shouldn't be ranked. Cincinnati shouldn't be ranked. BYU and Texas Tech should be in the 20 - 25 range.

Masterful play by Funk to elicit BYU fan praise of Utah's squad. Single-handedly exposing BYU's reliance on a necessarily strong Utah in the perennially pissed-on Big 12 to achieve the status that BYU longs for.

I mean, they played two weeks ago. What's changed for you that you think this could happen?

This is my fantasy and so if you want to delve into it, you will have to play by my rules which clearly indicate that BYU sucks and will lose to Utah in every future matchup. Sorry, but those are the rules in my fantasy!

In this self-described fantasy, I'm guessing the Ute players are dressed in powder puff uniforms.

I'm just happy that falafels ai image generator history has "fat Utah football player in a tutu" in it.

Here is the actual prompt:

"make a photo of a University of Utah football player wearing a powder puff style uniform. extra points if the Utah player is a 300 lb offensive lineman"

Self loathing.

Oh brother.

Seems the playoff committee disagrees with Funk. Utah at 13, just needs to win out and there are in. Won’t even need to make the Big 12 championship game.

Speaking of another playoff, it must really suck to be one of only 3 Big12 teams not currently in the Bilas Index of 68.

Meh, who cares. Utah doesn't have a basketball team.

Shut your whore mouth! Alex will bring us back. Might take a couple of years and some big donor money for NIL.

The Big 12 is stacked for basketball this year. We have probably 3 legit teams that could make an Elite 8 run.

Utah is a complete unknown, with 12 new faces I think middle of the pack is our best hope if Alex can get them playing as a team and with a fraction of the heart he played with.

Hey come on. They are undefeated this year! There were DOZENS of people in the Huntsman to watch it.

I just checked and you can buy season tickets to Utah basketball for $100 per seat. Lower bowl for $500. That is amazing.

Be careful with those $100 seats. Make sure they're positioned near a part in the curtain.

That would be worth it for the BYU game alone. They also have AZ and Houston and Iowa state coming to town. Those are good teams. I would do that if I lived there.
