There Was A Top 25 College Football Upset On Friday Night (msn.com)

Halfway through the season and already two games back from the mighty, conference undefeated Red Raiders.

Get used to it, or as I like to say:

Stay tuned...

I thought y'all were 16 now? And just why did you come to our forum to poke fun at the Utes? I doubt there are any of them here!

"There was a top 25 upset friday..." Get used to all the conference headlines reading similar.

"Just letting everyone know, we still play football out here!!!"

Nice try, but the reason it may have went under the radar was due to being played on a late Friday night, not THE TWELVE!

Conference smack D-9-ed!

and why were they playing on a late Friday night, when most people are focused on high school football?

Most of THE TWELVE's fan base is composed of educated, big city-types. They left their small towns and have zero interest in how their high school teams are faring.

I thought you were implying that "all eyes" would be watching y'all's games, no matter the day of the week and the time of the day, but now you say it is really only the graduates of said institutions that will be tuning in for the worst day and times their teams are playing? That doesn't sound too impressive to me.

Of course! But I'm also empathetic to other people's lives. Some folks, especially in the southeastern parts of the country, don't have the luxuries of most of THE TWELVE's fan base who can afford to party on a Friday night and sleep in on Saturday. Someone's got to get up at four in the morning to feed the chickens and churn the butter.

Well, we handled the Big 12 legacy programs just fine. It was our PAC 12 rivals that gave us problems.

Stay tuned.

But both Arizona schools are significantly improved simply by joining THE TWELVE. Players who might not have been interested playing for them in the PAC-12 are now FOCUSED and READY FOR WAR! Recruiting becomes much easier for the legacy PAC programs.

Actually, playing Utah, USC, Oregon and Washington over the last 12 years made them better programs.

Tech improved by playing ACU and Tarleton.

Understandable. It was only last year you played Tarleton.

The big 12 tried to compete with views against high school football and you still had to come notify us after the fact.... it doesn't matter when and where, no one cares.

Yes, I tend to live in the moment and always moving forward, like a shark. I've moved on since Tarleton.

This whole board has turned into three slap dicks from tard, cougar high, and Mormon lite pleasuring each other in an effort not to appear irrelevant. Damn, Rivalries is such a shell of its former self.

Totally understandable since Tech has never won a football conference championship in the Big 12 since joining.

I see the AP Top Ten Poll has TT only 50 votes lower than Vanderbilt.
Congrats for almost being as good as the worst SEC team.

I truly thought you guys were built to compete in big xii and thought you would win. I also thought byu would compete right away because they've had success with some the xii schools in the past- but double "lol" me.

I don't think we'll have the decades of disappointment suffered by Aggie faithful through multiple bad coaching hires with loads of talent: Jimbo, Sherman, Franchione, et al.
And we have won actual division and conference championships unlike some I could mention here, so there is that.

Ahhh, you joined your two little brothers and are in full deflection mode. You are a quick learner.
I wasn't taking a shot at you, I actually did think your guys would run away with this year. Sorry to trigger you, my bad.

Well, you will notice a difference. These players/coaches own up to failures instead of blaming referees or hiding from the press. Not many instances of theft, drug abuse, reckless driving, etc, which appear to figure prominently on SEC resumes.

the utes and their fragile nature. They really need some kind of strength and conditioning program up there.
Another key player, out for the season. in the big 12

I am just glad we don't have to deal with the Pronghorn Network or other self-aggrandizing promotion efforts. I am sure your new SEC mates will welcome that tu hubris with open arms and embrace it! Everybody knows the 40 Acres directs the course of western civilization so the SEC should be easy pickings for you!
