Kyle Anderson Destroys The Utes *Official Game Thread*

Mississippi State University, where "All that needs to happen is everyone's history of accomplishments to be erased and then everyone will be as bad as us" happens.

Like x1000.

Seriously though, our football program is getting a lot better. Being in a division with such heavy weights really has its downside. We would have probably been a top-3 team in the Pac-12 the last few years.

Dunno about top 3 in the PAC, but y'all definitely have the right coach and are trending in the right direction.

Doubt it

Might have been over-stating, but we would contend. Hard to do **** when you play Alabama and LSU every year. Not saying there aren't heavy weights in the PAC-12, but they are much more beatable on a season-to-season basis than SEC heavyweights.

*Cue stop making excuses*

Sorry, just the way **** is when you're a smaller school sandwiched between between two to of the top recruiting forces in the USA. Not to mention Ole Miss, who sucks *** at football, but has a **** ton of alumni money to pay recruits with.

I feel you bro.

Kinda hard to see how Utah can compete in football year in and year out with Oregon, USC, and Stanford.

Answer is we can't, but hopefully we can do a better job than schools like Arizona, Cal, Oregon St etc of having some truly good seasons every few years.

That is what I'm hoping for from our football program. Bowl Games every year, then once every 5 years or so truly be in contention for a PAC 12 title. We obviously aren't there right now, but I think it is a reasonable goal.

Here's what you gotta know though, I'm still pinching myself that we are in the PAC 12. Years later I still cant believe it. I've grown up going to every Utes home football and basketball game and obviously watching every game on TV. You have no idea how bad it sucks when your peers are schools like Wyoming and New Mexico.

Getting to the PAC 12 was every Utes fans dream and there is really no amount of trash talk that would make me feel like being in a big boy conference is less awesome than it is. Football has been a huge reality check, but our basketball struggles up to this point had little to do with conference affiliation. Our program was a dumpster fire when Kryskowiak took over.r

As soon as next year we could be competing for a PAC12 title in basketball, which is truly amazing. It's hard to see when we will ever contend in in football, but I still wet myself just looking at next years home schedule, seeing teams like Oregon and USC instead of Air Force and Colorado St.

MSU's basketball was the biggest dumpster fire ever after Stansburry left. 3 players declared for draft, 2 transferred off, 2 got suspended and cut from the team. We only have 8 scholarship players, all freshman and sophomores and 1 JUCO junior. Will take years to recover.

Thing is, you can recover a lot faster in basketball than football. You need a good coach, then just one or two players can literally change the program.

Landing Jordan Loveridge, a top 100 recruit, when we were at our lowest of lows, was the turning point for us.

Now add in a JUCO transfer in Delon Wright that will probably be First team all PAC 12, and a couple 4 Star recruits coming in next year and we are a program on the rise.

Mississippi isn't really a hot bed for NBA talent, at least of late. Seems like whenever there is a really good recruit, some lame *** piece of crap school snatches them up, LIKE HOW KENTUCKY TOOK DEVIN BOOKER I HATE YOU PKM!!!

Thing I hate about basketball is that 5-star recruits hardly ever stay at their in-state school if it isn't a NBA powerhouse. Those schools recruit really well out of state and nab the top players. We kept Rodney Hood (who was like a high 4 star or a low 5, idr) but he left for Duke after we fired the coach.

MSU has some really good players right now, but they all play way too many minutes, none of them can shoot, and we have 1.5 big men on the roster.

Get out. If you entirely strip a team of all junior and senior players, they are going to suck (unless you're a national powerhouse like UK who gets a ton of top-ranked freshman every year) for a while until they can build back.

You are talking to a guy who follows a Western Coastal League team bro.
