Texas is a Blueblood program & top 2-3 for fanbase size/financial value

Utah isn’t top 30 for either.

That’s why the meme is funny, because there’s really no comparison between the two, despite many Utah fan’s attitude that they’re coming in and “gonna run the conference.”

Yes, that's the problem they have with the Utah base. The narrative that the Pac 12

Utah fans continue to conflate conference inclusion with talent.

Madam Pattirini

Both P12 and B12 inclusions have several things in common though

TFL

Why don't you go police your own fans and their terrible realignment opinions?

Well said. I agree.

TFL

And most of us knew B12 was Utahs floor.

Yes, but both come from a small population state shared by another P5

Your first point was plenty for TFL to try to comprehend. He should answer it.

It works both ways - every Utah loss will be nice

Agreed. That adds to the fun on both sides and having someone play the role as conf villain.

Utah barely came away with a win against a very pitiful Baylor team.

Stop playing the victim card. No big12 fans think Utah will perform like the 4

BYUheaven

11/29/23 3:26pm

No...just the BYU fans and online twitter Big 12 guys think that. That's what's so ironic

TFL

11/29/23 3:37pm

BYU fans and Twitter are only ones exposed to Utah fans' opinions. . .

Madam Pattirini

11/29/23 3:50pm

Not really. When Utah got invited, no one was surprised but this small, awkward group. That group lost any validity

TFL

11/29/23 4:22pm

Oh, you mean the small group of BOT and Administrators at BYU that wanted the Utes in the Big 12

coot20

Big12 fans have varying opinions on how Utah will perform. But they all agree

Nah.. just the twitter guys who spent the summer splaining to Utah fans that they'd get left out.

Good point. TX killed Utah in 2019. Downside to the whole BYU Indy argument

That’s why they lost for three years in a horrid p12. Upward trajectory

Once upon a time the beat Alabama in a bowl game as a G5

You wouldn’t have even won the south this year and it stunk

That's the whole point though. Utah is 22-4 the last 5 full seasons vs. the South. 4-1 this year despite

Literally proving the X-post accurate. Never change Ute homers living on CB. LOL

Wow. If Utah performs much better than BYU next season, I will be surprised. 😲

Are you as optimistic in basketball and other sports? Don't be

No. Not at all. There's no logical reason to think Utah's MBB will be anything more than mediocre. FB

So...an injury plagued Utah in a down year is 3-1 vs. new Big 12 — and that means they'll struggle

TFL

11/29/23 6:02pm

Nice strawman argument. G5/Indy -> P5 is not the same as P5 -> P5

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

11/29/23 4:55pm

You get it. It's a silly argument. That's why it's so fun. Like when they all claimed Utah was out of B12

Texas is a Blueblood program & top 2-3 for fanbase size/financial value

BamaCoug

Utah is a top 40 - 60 program from a small populous state with no history in CFB and G5 origins

Let me sum it more simply. Ute fans online are viewed as arrogant jerks

Atmospheric_Cougar

Perennial 4 loss team. Decent, not great. Will compete in B12. Might win once
