“The zoob doth protest too much, methinks.”

I gave my nephew some advice last night after he was inundated with comments about Utah’s “irrelevancy” and similar nonsense. When someone or someone’s is obsessively posting or commenting on something they claim they don’t believe (especially on their rival’s site) it’s really them holding up a giant sign saying “ASK ME ABOUT MY INFERIORITY COMPLEX.” It just speaks to the old adage “Act like you’ve been there before.” And a lot of them haven’t. Does it reeeeeally suck right now for us? Yes! Sports is cyclical and it’s our turn to go through it. Just like it’s Oklahoma States and 1-8 Florida State’s turn. Who just lost to #8 Notre Dame 52-3. They have the worst-ever record for a preseason top ten team.
Earlier this year I posted about how Utah has been in CFP rankings the 8th most in CFB and is top 10 in NFL development. That feels like years ago now, but it’s not. Will it probably get even s**ttier before the season is through? Good chance of it. Just remember the pillars and foundation of Utah football are still there. It might take a few years or we might be surprised how quickly it can flip back. Pardon my ramblings and Go Utes!
