Believe it or not, there is, has, and always will be in-state kids that will be on the fence about either school. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that 95% of the time, BYU is going after a type of player that is going to BYU for the BYU experience, which Utah cannot compete with.
However, you're being willfully ignorant if you don't think Utah's status as a Pac 12 school won't eventually sway a player or two who quite possibly would have went to BYU if both schools were still in the MWC. A good example would be H. Unga. I've read that even before his discipline problems Harvey was considering both schools. If you're an in-state kid that doesn't hate either school, you're crazy to believe that the option of playing in the Pac 12 as opposed to the MWC won't play into some kid's decision down the line. Hell, even if it happens once or twice in 10 years, that's still more often than the "never" that your coach so arrogantly proclaimed.
Granted, I admit that it's simply not going to happen that often because of the difference in recruiting philosiphy between the schools. And Stern, I have no problem admitting that BYU was left out of the Pac 10 for religious reasons. However, I'm not losing too much sleep over it. Utah's been given a great opportunity and I expect them to do just fine.
It was also really nice of that flight attendant to stop by to give Steve a trim.
Damn, that almost brings a tear to my eye, the spirit is so sweet. They don't measure themselves against anyone else? How awesome they must be.
So, apparently, the main reason the Zoobs liked BYU in the 80's was because flight attendants would surprise you with a quasi-lobotomy in a room with three other people who would end up working at the Maverick fifteen years later.
This was a good time in Zoob history, a time when the honor code allowed young men and women to DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES if it was appropriate to wear socks or not.

Trout, I'm sorry for saying you were off your game. You've certainly got David Stern swinging from your nutz, so you must be doing something right.

You might want to clarify this concept to Britan Covey and Chase Hansen because I think they might have gotten a bit confused.
