Cocky? Sure.

Pretty well founded in his cockiness? Yes, actually. He isn't wrong about the preseason prognostications.

Hilarious to view in light of Utah's performance to date? You bet.

More hilarious in the persona he's adopted? That too, but a little sad. I view him as more of a cautionary tale that I'll try to learn from as I advance closer to and ultimately, through, my senior years.

Representative of his fan base? 10000000% Yet another reason why I enjoy beating them.
