Thanks for the vote of confidence. I hadn’t been taking these transfers very well. It feels like after the results of just one year, we’d effectively squandered years of hard work, and strong recruiting, and lost all our momentum. Two years ago, when there was speculation that the BigTen might expand, Utah was sitting pretty high in the catbird seat for consideration. But now, with the reemergence of Colorado, coupled with their weekly dominant viewership ratings, I feel like if the BigTen opted to raid the Big XII today, they’re only taking the Buffaloes. A powerhouse “Utah” program can weather CU’s superior Nielson ratings, but we stand no chance when they’re dominating both key metrics. At this point, all we’ve got going for us is our AAU status, but now Arizona St has that too. And look where THEY’RE at right now! They have one of the largest alumni associations in the country, and they’re already a Top-4 seed in the CFP.
Please assure us that the past 2-yrs some anomalous hiccup, and that we’ll be back to our late “Pac-12” form, annually challenging for a conference title, and beating the Buffs & Devils!
