You don't even understand your own fanbase. lol

If someone is GENUINELY concerned about winning the conference championship, they're going to tamp the playoff talk WAY down. Chuck here is nowhere near doing that. The bar has been set for Chuckster, and it's NOT in the Big 12 - it's in the playoff, because he thinks the Big 12 championship is inevitable.

Look dude, it's OK to admit that a good chunk of you believe the utes already have this thing sewn up. Charlie does and so do many others.

Just be honest about it.

Jay Hill’s warning to Utah is correct. He’s just trying to help them. They’re in for a rude awakening. Remember how

The way to beat Utah is with a good power running game. That's half the Big 12

Not sure I agree. Man defense is built to stop the run.
