    I think a Ute win here will be the biggest in program history, and the Rose Bowl will be the biggest game. I understand that reasonable people may disagree. They’d be wrong, of course. 😉

    agreed.

    However, just checked the front page of KSL.com and FOX13.com and nada.

    KOMO.com has an article about the PAC-12 Championship, as does KIRO.com out of Seattle.

    I think you’re being a little unfair to KSL. They totally have a story about today’s game.

    It’s debatable. We got to the Sugar Bowl by computer selection in the BCS era. We got to this game purely by winning football games in a P5 conference. I.e., we did it in the field of play. To me that makes this game bigger, and our getting to this game bigger. If not bigger it’s at least a uniquely superb accomplishment.

    Strange argument. "Computer selection" got us to the Sugar Bowl, but winning football games landed us in the Pac-12 championship? Weren't winning football games the way that "computer selection" happened? I'm not sure what we are arguing about.

    This is just fan talk so no biggie. I'm terribly proud of that Sugar Bowl team and that championship. That was the greatest single on-field performance by any Utah team, ever. I'm at least as proud of this year's team (and the coaching staff) because they won a championship on the field by beating the other teams in their league. They had scoreboard, in other words. There's no question about who is the South champion. It's Utah. That will also be true if they win tonight. They'll be PAC-12 champions, no questions asked. To me that is a big deal.

    We need keep them from getting chunk plays like that. I love how the TV guys give Browning credit for the gain when most of the yards resulted from Blackmon badly blowing the tackle after the catch.

    I am still proud of this team. Tonight the two offenses tied 3-3. A flukey pick-6 was the difference. They made it to this game without 2 players who represented 86% of the Utah offense. They did not quit, ever. We still have a decent bowl game ahead of us -- or at least they deserve one. It's reasonable to believe that next season could be just as good as this one. So this loss is far from devastating, IMO, and we can look forward to good things.

    I’m bullish on the Utes. 2 steps forward this year. Win bowl game. Get back to Championship game. Great showing by fans. We have some great fans. We also have some total idiots. One guy, who could barely stand, decided to stand all game despite there being an 80 year old lady right behind him. She and her husband were gracious.
