AZ article slams the PAC, Utah and Colorado

It is a really good read if you are a PAC hater and a Utah hater...which I am.



I especially love this quote, what a slam

If Colorado is vanilla ice cream, Utah is snow melting on the sidewalk.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

This is kinda funny to read. He quotes Dan Beebe and his thoughts of the Pac 10

I grew up in Pac-10 territory, and although there are outstanding institutions, the facilities and fair-weather fans are a disappointment. I suggest their fan support, and the accompanying image it projects, should be carefully examined.

And then...

Fair-weather fans? Empty seats? Is that really how the rest of the world views the Pac-10?

Haha... It was only a couple years ago where Utah couldn't even give away their tickets for free.

That's nothing - this was the best line by FAR (and oh so true...and I'm glad people outside of Utah can see it)

The Pac-10 can use a bump in glamour, and especially one at the bank, but I don't see how Colorado or Utah can help either. I'm aware of the negative variables and politics about adding BYU, but the Cougars have a history, a brand and a presence that neither Utah nor Colorado can touch.

My favorite quote is

Yep, I remember the Utes' great marketing slogan in 2003, IIRC: Don't make us come get you!
