I'm just curious if he saw the Utah game today. I missed it and wanted his take. So weird that he's nowhere to be found...
 
He's still trying to back up his claim that Utah could compete to win the PAC 10 this year. Clearly.
 
I just wonder if he, and all the other Utah fans on this board for that matter, still disagree with me that Terrence Cain is the best QB at Utah currently. I'm still baffled how a guy that goes 7-1 as a starter, or whatever it was last year, gets benched. Not that Wynn has been absolutely terrible or anything, but Cain's more of a gamer in my mind.

Then again, possibly over the next years there will come a point where he steps up during big games and everybody looks back on these rough spots as just typical QB growing pains.
 
I don't see the strong arm that wynn supposedly has over Cain. Right now Wynn can't complete even the most basic passes. As I remember, Cain was the master at throwing those quick screen/slant passes. Plus, he can run, something that Wynn is horrible at.

I too remember Cain as a gamer. Wynn, is basically Brett Farve, without the arm, leadership, bigtime plays, or ah-hem photos. He's a turnover machine that kills his own teams momentum.

Isn't it funny how Salty has been missing in action the last two weeks. Coincidence? Hilarious how he likes to act like he's this unbiased fan and gets all over fans of other teams when they don't respond. He's quite possibly the biggest hypocrite on this board.
 
I am not missing in action, lol. I don't post for like a day or 2 and the jackasses act like I ran and hid...

And I stand by my claim that Utah could have competed for a PAC 10 title this year, and absolutely will compete for it next year.

Yeah, Utah got destroyed by TCU. In case you idiots missed it, that pretty much took the wind out of the Utes' sails. That loss pretty much ended the season for Utah. The MWC title is out of reach, BCS Bowl is out of reach, national championship is out of reach...

If the Utes were in the PAC 10, that TCU loss would have just been another game. They would still be eligible for the conference championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl, and even possibly a national championship.

That Notre Dame loss sucked to watch, but it didn't change anything as far as what bowl game the Utes will play in. The team obviously mailed it in.

When a team gets 10 penalties in the first half, and still only trails by 11 points, you know it isn't a talent issue. They weren't up for the game.

Utah will probably be up for that San Diego State game. That game has an impact on what bowl game they go to. And you can bet they will be up for the BYU game, no matter what happens in the San Diego State game.

Losing a late conference game to an undefeated conference foe by a lot is "just another game" in the PAC-10? Tell that to Stanford. They have zero chance of going to the Rose Bowl this year unless Oregon loses TWICE.

Let me repeat that. ZERO CHANCE.

You see, this year, the Rose has to take an automatic qualifier if one of their tie-in conferences has a team go to the championship game. Stanford MUST win the conference to earn the Rose Bowl bid.

Doesn't say good things about a team when they quit because they lost a game.

I agree that losing a late conference game to an undefeated team kills any chance of winning the PAC 10. But TCU (and Notre Dame) is not in the PAC 10 and losing to them wouldn't have meant anything in regards to a Rose Bowl or PAC 12 championship.

Yes, Oregon would be the equivalent of TCU. But Utah wouldn't play them until the PAC 12 championship game anyway. And the loser would go to the Rose Bowl with the winner going to the national championship.

And if Utah is playing in the Pac 12 championship game, then yes, they are absolutely contending for the Pac 12 championship.

The Rose Bowl only has to take a non AQ team if it is the highest non AQ team. For example, if TCU plays in the BCS championship game against Oregon, the Rose Bowl does not have to take Boise State.

I'd heard the new PAC 12 was going to alternate which non-division teams they would be playing. If that's the case, your statement is not automatically true. If it's a year in which Utah played Oregon in the regular season, they'd be done, even in your scenario.

Utah's schedule for next year is already released, and Oregon is not on it.
