Well, that's what I thought.

I've seen the Utes play a few times, SU has not seen them play once.

I think I will go with the dude that has actually watched the team play once.

I'm impressed at how opinionated you are given that you have not actually used the usual means (watching games) to inform your opinion.

Not seen the U ball team play and not seen Jesus in person...I think there's a connection here.

Well, you're biased against Utah. Seattle is biased toward Utah.

I doubt the Utes were much available to me this year given the broadcast situation and that I didn't make it to SLC during the season. I have young children, a busy career and am working on becoming the Great American Novelist. I couldn't even work religion into my schedule if I wanted to. This year I have devoted my precious pub/basketball watching time to my auxiliary team, the Georgetown Hoyas, Big East champs by the way. I am not so boorish as to come here and talk about them. After the SUU loss I offered to watch this Utah team if someone would pay me my hourly rate. There were no takers.

By the way, the guy on Utefans who I think knows the most basketball is hoopknowledge and he does not think they are very talented. He is pretty much universally disliked over there. But he speaks intelligently about the team and has been mostly pesimistic. Hoopknowledge was criticizing the recruiting three years ago and all but predicting this outcome. Some people hypothesize he is Kerry Rupp (I think I'm the one who started that). He is at least a close friend of Rupp's and a coach somewhere. Actually, I think Runnutz knows him now that I think about it. Hoopknowledge first showed up on utefans with an ax to grind for Giacoletti after Rupp was passed over for the job. I enjoy his posts, though, when he is not abusing Mr Crimson. He knows his basketball. I hope he doesn't vanish now that Giacoletti got the ax.
How goes the book by the way?

The Hoyas are rocking! I think they have a great shot at winning it all this year. First Big East title since 1989, and they are one of the hottest teams in basketball right now (despite the loss to Syracuse).

I'm re-writing it. Thanks for asking.

I agree the Hoyas have a shot. They have beaten a passle of ranked teams. Amazing to win outright such a sprawling, super-talented conference.
