Goodbye Coach Whittingham

I think we should be honest with ourselves. The Big 12 is merely a G5 conference, and we are no better than we were when were in the Mountain West. If Utah is going to play in this new world of college athletics, the Utah administration needs to do everything, including begging, to get into the Big 10 and leave behind the detritus of the Big 12. Especially TDS.

I agree. Please please please get us away from playing the TDS!!! I hate that team and I hate that we play them. I love when we beat them, but I would love not having to deal with them ever again even more!!!

Yep.

My theory is because he’s a hardass and not terribly approachable, he leans excessively on people he knows. (Meyer was a genius at sizing people up.)

Three white Mormons in Ann Arbor are like the over-correction when Sharlene Wells was named Miss America after Vanessa Williams had some nudie pix surface.

Wow ! love the obscure analogy !

I was working at the Bureau of Economic Research at the U when Sharlene Wells became Miss America.

We had this old researcher with a bad stutter. Great dude, very funny. Brilliant economics researcher, always wore a suit and tie.

In a hallway conversation about the new Miss America, somebody said they thought her boyfriend also went to BYU.

Boyd, no studder, spit this out: “I thought the whole football team was her boyfriend”

It was a gut bust I had zero chance of holding in. Thanks, Boyd. He didn’t talk much, but he hit more homers than anyone else in the office, by far.

Maybe the Basketball Team…or the sons of General Authority’s.

I was a teaching assistant in Biology at Syracuse University and Vanessa Williams was one of my students. I had no clue who she was, except she was missing an exam, when another student told me she was attending the Miss America contest. I was so clueless. She never returned to Syracuse University after that.

And this has nothing to do with Whittingham, Utah, Mormons, or TDS.

I never liked Whittingham as a coach, but I got so frustrated with losing important games over the years.

But the rest of you loved him, and it’s kind sad that you are pissed at him and the coaches he’s poached from Utah. Let’s face it, Michigan is far superior job than Utah, until such time Utah gets its butt into the Big 10. In this world of free agent coaches, Whittingham is no Lame Kiffin, he’s a good person who found a wonderful job. I hope he does well there.

And for the least shocking news of the day.

The first of several. Ridiculous.
