Comparing NCAA Invites from WCC and MW to invite from PAC 12: Full Stop on that.

Stop it. ✋ 🛑

Pac12 got 5 teams in and always gets at least 3 teams into the tournament.

Is it too much to ask the highest paid coach in the conference to have his team be one of the top 3-5 teams in the league every once in a while? Or at least once in a 5 consecutive season stretch?

COVID-19 ended the season last year and was a big factor in why this year’s team was not conditioned. Let’s have a season without the Wuhan Flu before we rush to judgement. 

But regardless, the purpose of this topic is to stop comparing WCC and MW teams to PAC 12 teams. ✋ 🛑 Stop right there.

…”Or at least once in a 5 consecutive season stretch? “…

This is the key. People (including the trib beat writer) who want to let Larry off with a COVID-19 excuse season, are not paying attention to the fact that this is NOT the first disappinting year, by far.

Utah is now, at very best, the 3rd rated program in the state. We lost very badly to one of the top two, and would have almost certainly lost to the other, just as badely if we had played them.

For those out there defending Larry, should we really be expected to be satisfied with the program that we watched the last several years?

I’m not expecting Larry to be fired this year, the Utah Atheletic budget is a disaster after this last year, and the buy out is still too high. But given what I’ve been watching for several years now, I’m not expecting anything to change dramatically with the performance of the program next year either.

I’m not down on the individual players, and I continue to root for the team.  I try not to spend a lot of time griping about the program, but it is not where it should be.  Maybe Larry will turn things around next year, and start into a long series of successful years, like I thought we would be seeing after 2015 and 2016.  And if so, no one will be happier than I that he’s succeeding and still around.  But I have no reason to believe that will happen and if it does not, I’ll be very unhappy if he’s here following next year.

Are BYU and Weber State competing in the PAC 12? No? Okay then their NCAA invites mean nothing relative to our program. 

Full Stop

Whatever you say, Mrs. Krystkowiak.  But try to keep up here…

BYU beat us by almost 20 points, and I was referring to BYU and Utah State.  You mentioning Weber State just goes to making my point, that we are “at best” 3rd in the state, regardless of what confernece anybody is playing in.  Maybe if BYU was playing in the PAC-12, they would be in the tournament, maybe not, but it is a FACT that we were not at all competitive against them.

I guess we didn’t lose to one of those WCC teams this year by 20 points. I’m glad I can stop thinking about that ever again because they physically pushed us around like little bitches.
