Are you suggesting that they're classless and that you hate them?
Glad to know the actions of one make everyone classless. Why post this garbage?
See the smiley face? You ****ing retard.

Go try to sell some more insurance you old smelly ****.
As a Ute fan, I am okay with how the season went, overall. If you had asked me, before the season started, how I felt about 10-3 overall, I would have been just fine with that. Expectations got overblown with the early success. But I don't think Utah is suddenly headed in the wrong direction.
To BYU fans - I honestly hope independence works out for BYU. They are a storied football program, and it would be great to see them become a prominent team again on the college football landscape. Hopefully the rivalry doesn't suffer for the teams parting ways.

Awesome comeback.

Could not have said it better myself. If you're a BYU fan, I understand you reveling in Utah getting throttled last night. Lord knows when I was a little kid and The U wasn't that relevant, it made my December when somebody like Penn State or Texas A&M destroyed BYU in the Holiday Bowl.
What I don't understand however is the belief that Utah can't handle the Pac12 and is doomed once they enter. While the season did not end on a high note, I still see plenty to be excited about. Utah is currently a better program than the vast majority of Pac 10 schools and the ones that are better than Utah aren't light years ahead of them. 2 years ago a so-so Utah team went up to Oregon and almost left with a victory over a team that is playing for the National Title 1 year later. Later that year, the same Utah team handily beat a Cal program that is considered to be in the top half of the Pac10.
Plus, I think it's fair to say that Whit knows what he's doing. While I'd like to see some things addressed this offseason, I feel just fine about Whit's ability to get this team ready for the 2011 season. I think most BYU homers are secretly upset that Utah's poor showings during the last month+ haven't caused Ute fans to freak out on message boards, call for their Coach's head and question whether this program is on the right track or not. As was seen with BYU's struggles earlier in the season, we like to leave that sort of behavior to Cougar fans.

They have a helluva lot better chance than YBU!
Must be nice not having to worry about conference standings anymore ;-)
They very well may not. But whether or not this scenario represents failure depends on your own individual bias. But for the U - the school and the football program - it is an upgrade regardless.
