Jack Pardee at Houston used to RUTS. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame, but before he because HC at Univ. of Houston.

Whittingham may be sending a message "we are the bad boys of this league, and I'll be damned if you can punish us for it."

I respect any man who shows complete disdain for Univ. of Wyoming. In fact, I have no problem if Utah RUTS against BYU.

It's good for college football. Because next year there will be a lot more buzz between Utah and Wyoming.
As a fan, I would tend to agree. The drama is entertaining. Kind of like a soap opera I guess. But as a football coach, I think it is a foolish mistake. Wyoming can and will punish Utah for it eventually. Don't forget that this is the same Utah team that got their asses kicked in Vegas a few weeks ago. If KW is sending the message you describe, then he is an idiot.
