Gomes' famous remark will never be forgotten

Eleven years after uttering one of the most famous lines in the 108-year history of Utah vs. BYU, Lenny Gomes, a k a Lenny Gregory, is ready to let it rest. No, he hasn't changed his feelings about the Utes.

Rumor is they've pooled together $219.73

Which is what this conference would be worth without Utah

Asking for tips after pumping your gas.

I've never understood the whole "Ute grads pumping your gas" thing.

I've heard the background, was just another jab at the Utes.

It seems you and UtahFootballGM are the only ones who didn't like my comment.

Multiple times I have asked Ute fans to pump my gas for a $1 tip and they do it.

Most Utes moving to New Jersey, the only State where gas stations are required by law to offer full-service gas pumping.

That is awesome! The anti-Utah crowd is pretty small, online...but Utah being the villain

Weird, The PAC played for 2 national championships compared to the big 12's 1

And the utes didn't play in either one of them. There were those two Rose Bowl

I do. Both Oregon and USC would've been in the CFP had Utah not upset them. No other conference has that dynamic

TFL

Jun 13, 2:45pm

Neither of which was worthy of it if you look at their seasons and next game

BYU '80

Jun 13, 3:10pm

Nah...no one cares about bowl outcomes in this era. It's an exhibition game outside the CFP. What's weird

TFL

Jun 13, 4:53pm

BYU has been better in bowls than Utah of late

BYU '80

Jun 13, 5:36pm

Yep...when they stopped counting. Utah used to make the bowls a statement opportunity. Now the concern

you can try to argue all you want but sag Aaron shows that the

BYU '80

Jun 13, 5:37pm

The fact that you so easily won so many games in the PAC but couldn’t win games

ColonelMustard

Jun 13, 6:21pm

I disagree. Utah had the best OOC record in the country then would struggle late in the season

Rising being hurt excuse... check. No mention of Ohio st. starters out... check

BC it doesn't matter. It's the optics. A RB playing CB against Njibia and the "backup" Marvin Harrison with Stroud

^^^Great example of my point in paragraph 2.

You realize most of Ohio State starters were out because they didn’t want to

Throttled? lol. Hey, whatever happened to those backups Stroud, Njibia, Harrison Jr, lol

You literally called them equal teams… you see now how silly that sounds?

You like to mention 3 backups for OSU, but there’s 11 players on offense and 11

The B12 is more difficult on average...

How was the entire PAC12’s OoC record in the last several years?

Utah is 31% vs P5 .500 teams. Losing records currently to Ore /UW

Ok. But over what time frame? When? What you're looking for is predictive value that could translate to a 2024 schedule

TFL

Jun 13, 8:17pm

This is during the PAC. Utah has struggled out of conference

Bobmarleyjr

No they don’t. In addition to that they have one of worst bowl records in the

Playing against better competition, on average, will tend to increase losses

WVU_Prof

Jun 13, 5:45pm

I like the dialogue. Perhaps you may consider a few counter points. First, the Big 12 "hatred" of Utah is just a handful

I live in WV and teach at WVU...the hate for Utah is not just on twitter.

TFL magically knows that most BIG12 fans love Utah. His source = just trust him.

And how do you know how big or small the the anti-Utah crowd is? And have you

Atmospheric_Cougar

It's small. You saw that with the awkward signature to cancel Utah push. That was mostly BYU guys...lol. But to be real

Go it, so you have no idea how big it is. Thanks for sharing your feelings.
