"Haven't won the Pac"... actually, you are wrong. The Beavs TIED for the Pac 12 in 2000 when they went 12-1 with only the last second FG at Washington between them and a 13-0 season. Instead, OSU, UofO and UW tied for the championship and Huskies got the Rose Bowl where they beat Purdue by 10. That Beavs team would have smoked ANY Utah…

Instead, OSU, UofO and UW tied for the championship and Huskies got the Rose Bowl where they beat Purdue by 10. That Beavs team would have smoked ANY Utah team in history just like they destroyed Notre Dame and ended up #5 in the country. What is the Utes' highest national ranking? Not 5 that is for sure. By the way....QB of that Championship team? Same guy that is leading the Beavers for the next 30 years.
LOL....I was being nice...that 1964 PAC Championship was actually shared with USC. If you're talking about an undisputed PAC Championship, you have to go back all the way to 1956 and the Eisenhower Administration. What is Utah's highest national ranking? That would be #2 after finishing 13-0 and smoking Alabama in the January 2009 Sugar Bowl. The 2004 edition of the Utes also finished 13-0 and ended up ranked #4 after destroying Pittsburgh in the January 2005 Fiesta Bowl.
LOL!! So you are hanging your hat on the last two years?! Good for you and good for Utah. Hardly dominance of a conference. Do you really imagine that Utah is the Ohio State or Alabama of the Pac 12? Get real! But I can see you are very concerned that Oregon State is building a powerhouse program. You should be.
LOL...I'm hanging my hat on the fact that the Utes have been in the PAC-12 CCG four years in a row (not counting the Covid season of 2020 when they only played five games all year). When was the last time the Beavs made it to the CCG? How about never? Sound about right? Maybe that will change next year, more likely not, but you can always hope.
Utes going to the Pac 12 Championship game for four years is more about how weak the South is as compared to the North. USC was miserable for years until 2022. UCLA not much better. ASU and UofA have been a mess. Colorado too. Meanwhile, the North has Oregon, Washington and now the resurgent Beavers. Cougs have had years, but nothing since Mike Leach. The problem for the Utes is they now have a 3rd competitor from the North and you seem to hate competition but the Beavers obviously love competition. You got a problem, dude
LOL...the Utes are 7-3 against Oregon State since they joined the PAC and 10-4 going back to 1991. What is there to be concerned about? Be careful or something like this will happen next time we show up in Corvallis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlA43pqrTWM
Yep, 7-3 against Gary Anderson (a Utah State product who also wrecked the Wisconsin program) and Mike Riley led teams. OSU won 42-34 in 2021 and the current team is much better than last year. Smith is our Whittingham. You will find out (I think you already know that and it worries you).
Isn't it great how you can explain away dominance by simply saying "that was another guy?" Still the same team though. You better hope that next year's team is much better than this year's after the 42-16 drubbing you suffered this season in Salt Lake City.
"Still the same team"... huh? The Beavers today are nothing like the 2016 team which is why they are ranked #14 in the country and just demolished Florida. And I don't hope anything. Football is entertainment but I love turning your crank. That is also entertaining.

Yeah, they're no longer the Beavers...they now go by the name "Castors"...everything that happened before Smith no longer counts...
Really bringing up the game in which the starting QB was knocked out in the first quarter?
Do you really think it would have made much of a difference?
