Utes 2011 Football Discussion

I don't mind the BYU trash talkers in here. Utah is having a rough go of it this season. It's been difficult to watch. But no need to slam the panic button.

I am consoled mostly by the ironic comedy of the Utes being called to the carpet by fans of a team they absolutely annihilated.

Then again, Utah doesn't have a paper championship to hang their hats on.

Pretty much sums it up.
 
I can't really say one way or another about all the paper this or paper that what I do know is the U have two undefeated seasons in the last 7-8yrs

But they do have a paper 3rd place, right?

Is that really the best you can do? You must be having an off day.

All I can say is that Utah has 2 BCS bowl trophies that they actually played for.

What was the score of the championship game in 1984? I forget...
 
Utah: 2 undefeated seasons and 2 BCS bowl wins. Finished second in 2008. A lot of college football fans, coaches, and media across the country felt and feel Utah should have been #1 in 2008, when they were undefeated after playing a BCS caliber schedule. Utah has since been invited to and joined a BCS conference so that never again will they finish undefeated without winning a championship.

BYU: Had 1 undefeated season in 1984 after playing a WAC schedule and beating a .500 team in a crappy bowl game. Due to no BCS system they shared a split national championship. Most college football fans, coaches, and media across the country felt and feel that BYU didn't deserve even a share of the title. The BCS system was made in large part to ensure that a sham like this never happens again. BYU has never even sniffed a BCS bowl. BYU over estimated their importance and now appear to be out of options as far as joining a BCS conference- with even Air Force and Boise State getting invited to a BCS conference already.

Yeah, I would rather be a Utah fan clinging to this, than a BYU fan clinging to a false share of the title from almost 30 years ago.
 
Can you imagine how much smack these BYU trolls would talk if their team could actually take a BCS run deeper than Week 3 of the regular season?

They'd crash the server.

LOL! So 2008 was not a third place finish but a first place finish? Nice spin.

lol, talk about irony. Utah didn't finish 3rd in 2008. I guess 2008 is a little too recent for you to know though. Now if it was 1978, you'd probably be aware of the polls. At least you seem to know 1984.
 
The fact that BYU got a National Championship in 84 hurts a lot doesn't it?

2 undefeated seasons, the first someone better than you went undefeated, and the second you got ripped off when you really should have won it.

Ouch, I can understand your pain and lashing out when someone flaunts it in their sig.

As for this year, it sucks to suck. Join the club. At least you have your millions to roll in... the fans do get a cut don't they?

The only thing that 1984 "championship" hurts is my gut from laughing so hard when BYU fans try to bring it up.

1984? Are you serious? lol
