This kind of smack sucks. I'm a strong believer in scoreboard and "what has your team done for you lately?" As far as I'm concerned, BYU's 1984 championship is meaningless and I'll never bring it up when trying to show how BYU is a better team than Utah or whoever.
I do love NorCal running his mouth off. Makes it all the better when the Jazz are again proven to be the better team. |

There isn't of course. It all depends on the context of what the argument is. Of course a championship from 30 years ago is irrelevant when debating who is the better team now, or over the last 10 years. If arguing about entire histories of programs or teams, then all championships count. |

Championships are the measure of better teams. Even if they are old championships.

As a fan, I don't understand others taking solace in a crappy team by retreating to the past. Man up and face the present. Scoreboard as in, last time our two teams met, my team smacked yours down. It's handy in comparing the relative awesomeness of two teams. |

It would kind of be like fans of South Florida talking trash to The Seminoles or the Hurricans or the Gators. What for? Because of one game last season? This is the mentality that leads to hanging Division Championship banners in the rafters.

Last season, aka the past, is what you are referring to. This season hasnt even started yet. How can you already determine the relative awesomeness?

And if you don't believe you can vocally pronounce BYU as a better team than Utah after BYU beats the Utes on the field, that's weird. Quote:

Also, The U, having won no championships, should not be talking trash to, say, Nebraska, which has won multiple.

The day the NBA starts inviting less than half of the entire league and teams with losing records to the playoffs is the day I start caring about individual regular season games, particularly the opening day game.

When did they start a league called the NBA? I can't even tell you who won last season. Was it the Spurs or an eastern team?
