  The Utes have been in this conference now for seven years, long enough experience with each school that makes me want to just roadgrade them. It’s frustrating. I want us to be the “Oklahoma” of the PAC. I want us to be the “tOSU” of the PAC. I want to be the “Alabama ” of the PAC. It’s frustrating that we’re not any of those things. I think we can get there, hopefully sooner than later. It starts this week.
  
  I want to roadgrade the Huskies and send them whimpering back to Seattle.

    LOL. You want to be like tOSU or Oklahoma but you like most Utefans don’t have the fortitude to DEMAND it.
    
    Let me put it this way, non of the programs you mentioned would have tolerated a head coach 7 years without winning their conference…. just wouldn’t happen.
    
    NO MORE EXCUSES!

      OSU and Oklahoma have been in power conferences for decades before Utah became any good at football. It takes time to build (look at Uof Pay and ASU). Utah has built a program from MWC talent to Wjat we have now. Whitt overachieves his talent almost every year amd is top 10 nationwide. Utah could get there someday. But it will take time.
      
      Tl;dr be patient tOSU wasn’t built in a day.

        7 years= NO MORE EXCUSES.
        
        If I have to see kwhitts clenching jaw everytime HIS offense craps the bed I’m going to put my fist through the TV.
        
        So tired of the “clenched jaw” face. It’s way past time to deliver.

        Utah isnt going to be an Oklahoma, Ohio St, Bama etc so no use bitching about it. Those programs are the elite powerhouses in the nation and have been for decades. We are competing for recruits with USC, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Stanford etc. All those schools are in huge markets or have Nike $$. If we can get to the point where we are competing for the South we are in pretty good shape.
        
        I would love to pretend that Utah is the next powerhouse, but it’s not and getting rid of Whitt won’t change that.

        Those places weren’t born powerhouses and each of them have had down years. To say Utah could never become like them is nonsense.

        I will say it most likely won’t happen. College sports is about the good ole boys and the control excercised in it is crazy.
        
        I don’t want to go all tinfoil hat but that Pettis run back had some of the most egregious swallowing of flags ever to end a game. Washington isn’t exactly a powehouse either but how do you explain that s**tty officiating? Pac-12 ineptitude? Or just keep little ole Utah down?

        Does context matter to you? These things aren’t accomplished overnight. They take time to build. Is Whitt the guy? maybe maybe not. But the fact remains that he has built this program and the trend is up. Sure there may be some peaks and valleys but the trend is ever uoward.
        
        There are so many intermediate steps between being Oklahoma and being us. We need to go from consistently being in the race for the South to being consistently 1 or 2. Then from there to winning the south. Then to consistently winning the conference. Then to getting in the playoffs. We don’t have the talent but we’re ever improving.
        
        Being happy with the improvement isn’t the same thing as complacency. One can be pleased with improvements while still striving for more. Of course, that’s the healthy way of achievement. Going from middling program to a blue blood isn’t instantaneous. So stop with h your bulls**t.

      There is little to no chance that we will ever become Oklahoma, tOSU, or any other blueblood. Its ok to hope for that, but its unrealistic. Our expectations should be to be Michigan State, always near the top, the occasional conference champion, with a playoff birth once every 10-15 years.
      
      We don’t have the market, the fan base, the recruiting base, or the history. Perhaps over the next 30 years it will build and we’ll get that history. But to think we should be there now or in the next 10 years is insane, bordering on zoobish.
