To be fair, several posters in this thread went off on a tangent about Stanford.

Great trolling seems to involve recycling old smack. In this case it dates back to 2011.

Perfect, I hate Stanford too.
Referencing topics that got some play circa 2011 seems a whole lot better than still living in 2009

I am soooooo over Stanford. I don't get why recruits make such a big deal over Stanford's academics. Graduating with a degree in sociology form Stanford is still graduating with a crappy degree. A little reality here, please.
You're getting very choose to....Referencing topics that got some play circa 2011 seems a whole lot better than still living in 2009

An argument that would have some validity if there were in inordinate amount of Sugar Bowl references here daily. As there have not been, it has no validity.Referencing topics that got some play circa 2011 seems a whole lot better than still living in 2009

I love Stanford. I always enjoyed spending time on campus when I was assigned to Palo Alto on my mission. I could lose track of time in the Rodin sculpture garden.

Since they brainwashed you as a missionary, you are allowed to like them. But the fact that there is a Rodin sculpture garden is enough reason to dislike them.
You have something against Rodin?

If there's anything I hate as much as BYU and Stanford, it's Rodin.
Firstly, if I remember correctly the rivalry died for you in 2009. Maybe I am mistaken? Secondly, having been there with regards to my own BYU fandom, in retrospect, I recognize how hard it is to step back and recognize the moment when the program and team you cheer for week in and week out may have plateaued or peaked during a specific era. As a reasonably objective observer who has watched the Utes his entire life and with a part of him that still cheers for the Utes every other week that they don't play BYU, it's reasonable for me to assert that many here on this board, my siblings included, are still living in 2009. Not only is my argument valid but it is astute.
As an aside, I love Rodin.

Still living in 2009? Um. Please show me where posters on this board are proclaiming BCS Bowls and natties (as your people would say). Please do.
Unlike your fanbase. Wrubell was still saying BYU could go to a BCS bowl after last week's loss. That right there, that the voice of your team is so stupid as to proclaim BYU was on the same level as N Ill, that they would qualify for a BCS bowl with one loss, shows how stupid your fanbase/program is.
I have no response to that.

Reasonably objective? Ha! That's freaking hilarious.
As for 2009, I merely stated that this was when the rivalry stopped being fun. Too many people were taking something so inherently meaningless in the grand scheme of things far too seriously. So I moved on. This can hardly be said to be living in 2009. So, nice try, but, it was neither valid nor astute.

I'm not even gonna lie.
BYU looked damn good tonight.
Yep, and now they have two weeks to prepare for us while we have a test next week with Oregon State.
Ill be honest, Out of the two, I want the win against Oregon St. more.
I think the bye may hurt them. If I was them, i would want to try to figure out how to keep this momentum going
My thinking as well. Get some rust on. Now we have some film to study. They have little passing game. The running they did on Texas tonight was impressive but I cannot see it being a routine game. Tonight was a special night for byu. Not a usual night.
Lets take care or OSU and then get going on the cougs. While we do, they can practice against each other.
Their defense is impressive. Our OLine better be ready to be pressured and tested.
We actually need the OSU game in order to get better.

Texas was thrown off their game by the rain delay.
Apparently, our own Mighty Alaskan Ute was the huge call of the day on the Jim Rome Show. Topic: Ripping Bronco Mendenhall to shreds.
Is there a podcast? Rome is not available in Los Angeles, oddly enough.

I heard that live today. It was funny. Rome played it again to close the show.
Podcast can be found here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...51773540,d.aWc
I'm guessing it is the call in hour three at 27:20 from Jake. Best take was that Tim Tebow cries about Taysom Hills completion percentage.

Thanks for link! Awesome interview. 9:30 a brief segment and last 10 or 15 mins are all good stuff! Zoob arguments were predictable Heisman and national championship. We got some good comments in through. Was surprised that nobody mentioned #1 drafts in football and basketball. More players in NFL, or that thanks to loss to Virginia TDS will NEVER get a BCS appearance.
I just checked in and saw that the two most active threads are about BYU and Mitt Romney. This place really is just becoming LAU's blog.
