    go ahead and rip away. I can take it.

      Yes. BYU wouldn't have won a national title.

        Everyone has their one "mea culpa" post in their career. I think we know which one was yours.

        I imagine you are not a very effective chess player, either.

          Consider yourself ripped. Like I said in that post, you pretty much just stated the obvious. So there. Damn, I'm mean.

            It wasn't obvious to me I was just thinking it was interesting. As a Ute fan these past ten year have been pretty great. Kind of like how the 90s were for Utah in basketball.

              Auburn recently, maybe and Ucla yes. Not even close with USC SU.

                That's why I wrote "in some ways" - Conference championships are close, overall record is fairly close, number of times ranked is close, etc.

                Obviously, though, I look at this through Einar Nielsen Fieldglasses.
