Good talk. You can also suck my chaffed, red balls because I ran 9.7 miles today.

This is America. Home of me, and also George Washington. We've both done a lot for this country. Washington was our first President and did some things, and I post freely on an obscure Auburn bulletin board and talk about Utah here from time to time at my own discretion. Washington and I aren't cowed by your pleas of:

"When you're thinking of posting anything Utah related here, take a look up top when you're replying and see the Auburn Sports Board - Reply."

That is un-American sir! And I reject your pleas as I stand before my maker!

As far as your hellish notion that, "No, no one gives a crap about Utah here. Please quit confusing this board as a place to post about Utah."

Why how dare you sir! Are we not part of the same representative republic of all 50 states? Do we not lament the same congressional and judicial overreach that Ibbard stated were girded too tight back in 1833? Does that not make us fellow patriots and countrymen? That both celebrate Auburn and Utah collectively on occasion? I beg your pardon sir.

It would take Utah 10 years in the conference to have a winning in conference record. If you can’t see the talent differences then you don’t know talent like you think you do. And no it not just a one off we beat Bama or we beat Auburn it’s the 6 straight sec games.

I respect your love for both schools but seems you only see positive in one of them.

I thought Utah played pretty well against Ohio State on New Years Day. Much better than Auburn did in Birmingham. I respect Alpine's opinion as much if not more than Corch and Jang.

Utah would still finish 7th in the SEC West.

Don’t tell Alpine this but I like you more than him. More witty less crazy pills.

It took 3 years going from the Mountain West to the PAC-12, a much larger jump in my opinion. Utah was 1 game under .500 in 2 of those years as well.

Rather than just your eyeballs and opinion , the only objective measure I can think to use to compare program talent is players in the NFL. That seems reasonable. That's AU-35 and Utah-32 on NFL teams. Utah will have 4 drafted this year and AU 3(?) with McCreary, Smoke, McClain and maybe Council as a free agent. I think Utah would be about like Kentucky under Stoops record-wise in the SEC. Or maybe Mizzou or Pitboss at Arky. Break-even with something to the upside and downside every 4-5 years. Utah has really good jumbo athletes (DL and OL) and comparable to everyone probably just below UA and UGA, and that's most of the Utah players on NFL rosters. As more positional speed is needed Utah becomes more average. So if you're outside the hashes Utah goes to CA, TX and FL to find an overlooked guy like McCreary. There are no obscure Roger McCreary's with wheels to be found in rural Utah.

And I love Auburn. I was born in Lee County Hospital. Lived there until I graduated from AU. I live there part-time today and have a house there. I have two of five siblings that still live there. I love the U for many of the same reasons I love AU. I graduated from there too, I've lived here since 1995 and have been in the shadow of the campus, Ft. Morgan and Rice-Eccles since 2004. But mostly, its the perennial underdog status I that I can relate so well. Utah has been in the shadow of BYU for two or three generations, and generally has been average historically in FB. McBride, Meyer and Whittingham changed that trajectory. Its easy to root for Whittingham. You won't find a better human being and great coach to boot.

Glad we know your opinion now but it’s wrong.

I to think whittingham is a very good coach. But no going to a conference with 1 historically good program and 2 decent programs ain’t the SEC bruh. Like I said it would take Utah 10 years to have a winning sec record. Sorry that hurts your feelings but it’s the truth. Watch when OKie and UTa comes in. They have a couple years to prepare. If they win the division in 5 years I would be shocked. If they win it in 8 I’ll be a little surprised. Utah thrown right into the SEC would get arse raped weekly

Missouri, the weaker program of the last two expansion teams, won their division twice in the first 3 years they were in.

And you have no idea what "divisions" will even look like when OU and UT come...

If you'll give me an objective measure to evaluate talent-levels aside from your opinion and eyeballs and gut, I'll take you seriously. Otherwise call up the Finebaum show. Your argument is basically that "Utah ain't played nobody!" Where have I heard this before? I'm not even saying Utah would steamroll through the SEC. I said the opposite and compared them to UK, Mizzou and Arky.

Hell, Utah State traipsed into J-H in 2011 and almost took home a win against Chiz/Gus. And Utah State is the perennial doormat of the state of Utah.
