LOL

Utah seems to be going through what Bowling Green went through 2 or 3 years after Urban Meyer left there.

They are looking for an identity with the players he recruited.

Now while Bowling Green has absolutely fallen apart, I don't think Utah will do the same.

Remember the very mediocre ESPN film "The Junction Boys" about Bear Bryant's traning camp at Texas A&M? Well, one of them had the immortal line "he's gonna bring Aggie football out of the wilderness." For this reason I thought of guys like Alex Smith or Marty Johnson or Morgan Scalley from our '03 and '04 teams saying something like "dudes, like, chill okay, Coach Meyer's the real deal! he's gonna bring Utah football out of the wildneress."

Anyway, Urban brought out a lot of potential in our program that had been wasted for so long--remember, before Urban was hired we had gone almost 50 years without winning so much as an outright conference championship. It would be incredibly disappointing for me at least if we hit rock bottom like BG did, because we're a program that can do better than this.
