Scott Mitchell’s cousin was a regular substitute at my middle school growing up. She made sure we knew that. 😂 Dude got to play with Barry. What a privilege!
As an ASU fan, I’m excited to be in the big 12 the Pac 12 was always multiple different factions fighting over nonsense at least in the big 12 everybody sort of in the same boat
As a Ute fan, I am excited to be in the BIG12. PAC12 was a yuppie league and its those small very small % of Utah fans that ran their mouth in social media. They are the same fans who only showed up after Utes joined the PAC12 and I hope they sell their tickets LOL!
KStater, glad to have you guys! I think the Big 12 can be relevant in the playoffs, partly because Utah has joined. Hoping the stubborn few Utah fans come around - this is a good fit.
Regardless of “gunning”, they likely won’t win the conference because their schedule is tougher than 3 other teams, and by a pretty sizable margin. Can’t win it if you don’t have one of the two best records. The imbalanced schedules are going to skew some perceptions of teams up and down.
Arizona State and Utah really making me appreciate UCF. These two schools do not have enthusiasm for our conference. This guy is already talking about how to leverage the Big 12 into opening the door for future expansion in Utah's favor. We don't see the step of behavior out of UCF Cincinnati BYU and Houston. They're all happy to be here with the Big 12 logo plastered over everything. I apologize to UCF fans forever being hard on you guys.
Just because 1% of Utah fans were the loudest on social media doesn't represent a fan base. You had to look no further than how many Utah fans traveled to Baylor last year, and I was one of them. ASUs AD made comments but not Utah. Whittingham never said he wasn't excited about being in the BIG12 so you can slow the social media drool.
Realistically, UCF Cincinnati BYU and Houston should be happy to be with the Big 12. It was definitely a step up for them. Utah and the others should be relieved to have escaped the burning boat without traveling to the east coast, though Utah does at least have quite a bit more to offer than the Arizona schools. We’ll see if cu can become relevant again. Was Arizona more than a one hit wonder?
