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.

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!
