Since Pope left us for Kentucky on 4/12/24, the following has happened:

-We land NBA-coach-in-waiting Kevin Young and get the NIL $$ turbocharged
-We land Demin and Catchings and build out a nice roster for this season (still remains to be seen how we gel in conference play)
-We steal Burgess and Keita from our shopping mall up north
-We have a top five football season all-time, barely miss the playoff, destroy Colorado and will likely finish top 15
-We end our losing streak in SLC to our rival on a last second FG, and start our own two game winning streak against them
-Their AD and program melt down and further the hate from the rest of the B12
-They crap the bed and aren't even bowl eligible and lose seven games in a row
-We land the #1 NBA prospect and arguably best prospect since LeBron James
-We continue to shop from the school up North and steal Tanuvasa
-We have a ton of momentum in both basketball and football while they have zero

Pendulum isn't just swinging back our way, I think it's fully over to our side. That was a quick turnaround.
