Ya, at this point we’re at an impasse. No sense in continuing since it’s getting redundant at this point. I think what you describe illustrates how different the football culture is out west. Although my evidence is anecdotal, I’ve been to multiple PAC games, they don’t even have tailgating at Arizona St. Nothing wrong with it, just differe…[Read more]

That makes sense. I’m in my 30s. In my lifetime Florida vs Miami has only happened 8 times.

Outside of very recently, Florida has scheduled OOC like a putz other than the annual game vs the Seminoles. I would say FSU and Miami are also tied together. What I mean when I say that is, when you think of who their rivals are instantly you know for Utah it’s BYU. For Miami, it’s Florida St.

I find it odd some Utah fans try to act like it’…[Read more]

I would love to hear your explanation on how Oregon (the absolute definition of new money) is more of a blueblood than a school with 5 national titles and a stretch of just under 40 years averaging 10 wins a season. I hate Nebraska, but that’s an incredible feat.

I’ve always gone by this chart.

A lot to unpack here. One, Oklahoma St isn’t Texas roots. The two hardly ever played until the Big 12 was formed. Oregon State has had blips of success just as any program has small windows of success. I also remember that Fiesta Bowl against ND. There’s a reason the Beavers were left out, and it’s entirely the fault of their doing. Oklahoma St, w…[Read more]

They also have a 1-11 season a few 2’s and a few 3’s. Outside of the Andrew Luck/McCaffrey years, not good.

They played for a national title in the 80s, six Big East titles in the 2000s, multiple BCS wins. And a very raucous and passionate fan base.

Stanford 13 losing seasons since 2000.

Baylor < Cal
Cincinnati < Boise St (barely) sustained success vs higher success
Kansas > Fresno St – KU getting a brand new stadium, better coach, bigger reach.
Kansas St >> Colorado St
Iowa St = Washington St – ISU has a large fan base, very supportive and passionate
Oklahoma St > Oregon St – Pokes have more fans, more success, more…[Read more]

I don’t dispute any of what you said whatsoever. Yes, having a home schedule with Baylor, Iowa St, and Kansas on it was not exciting. Everyone knows there is going to be another round of realignment and Utah will most likely be included.

Something y’all have to more honest about is, Utah had no where else to go. Sure you might like blondes, but…[Read more]

I don’t disagree. I’ll concede that the PAC 12 was better than the current Big 12. However, the Big 12 still has an auto bid and a path to the CFB Playoff.

I’m not here to take a crap on Utah. I like the Utes and will continue to be a fan regardless. And yes, over the last 20 years, Utah has absolutely punched above their weight class. What I don’t respect are some Utah fans turning their nose up at schools that have done just as much if not more and acting like the Utes are above them. Just like how…[Read more]

Forgot them, my mistake. 8*

Most college football publications agree the blueblood club is 900+ wins, multiple national titles, 70%+ winning pct.

Some people include Penn St and Tennessee.

The “new bloods” are generally considered Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Florida St, Miami

You’re not going to like this, but Texas and Utah are not peers in football. I’m also not saying the Big 12 is some utopia. But y’all sitting here saying it’d be better for Utah to make $5 million a year to play Utah St and Fresno is a joke.

Kansas as a football institution indeed does suck, you’ll have no argument from me there. Nor will I st…[Read more]

Mr. Miami Vice mentions it in his point #6 in the OP.

Jaxson Smith-Njigba 15 catches 347 yards.

2nd half – Ohio St 27 points Utah 10 points.

Oregon has never been a blueblood, ever. There are only 7 in college football.

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Oklahoma
4. Michigan
5. USC
6. Texas
7. Nebraska

Y’all are missing the point entirely. What exactly has Utah won to talk down to teams that have actually played in a power conference for a lot longer and have played for national titles?

Ummm I actually live in DFW and work around SMU alumni. So, you’re definitely wrong there..

Also, there aren’t any bluebloods in the ACC soooo not sure where you say “there are a number of bluebloods.” There’s actually not even one.

You sound like an aggy (whoever doesn’t agree with me must be a BYU fan) pathetic tbh. Again, TCU has accomplished more than Utah so this pompous attitude you have is just odd. Why do you feel Utah is peers with the powers of college football? Every time they’ve played a blueblood they get worked over. Texas, Ohio St, Penn St.

Utah wasn’t even…[Read more]

The ACC is getting sued by its biggest members, SMU is playing there for free. There is a ton of history between them and the Texas schools. They would leave in half a second for a Big 12 invite.

So I want to preface this by saying the Texas Longhorns are my team to the core, I haven’t missed a game since 1998. However, I have deep family ties to SLC and the state of Utah and have followed the Utes as a legit fan since their magical run in 2004 (not as passionately as Texas, but certainly a loyal fan). I typically fly in for 1 game per…[Read more]
