Can we agree that had Unga gone to Utah, and had Brian Johnson not gotten injured, the results this year would have been reversed? Is BM better than Whittingham because Johnson got injured and Unga went to BYU? Sometimes pure luck or surrendipity is the difference.

Pure luck doesn't make you lose 27-0 to a bad UNLV team.

Yes if Unga had gone to Utah, Whittingham would be better. Recruiting is part of what makes a better college coach, dumbass.

SU, you don't follow sports so stop pretending like you do. Unga was never Utah's. He was a BYU guy his whole life except for a short time period when it looked like BYU might screw Reynolds. Once that got sorted out, he was back to BYU like he always was.

I wish someone told me this before. This explains his suggestion that the Pac 10 would choose CalTech over BYU in an expansion.

SU can give you a great analysis of Tom Chambers vs Fred Roberts, but he hasn't done anything but check the scores since '81.

"surrendipity"?

I like that spelling. It gives it multiple meanings. Although I am not sure exactly how to interpret it.
