You should give it a try, aspiring cult figure that you are. You know, you really need a book to pull it off.

I am a simple man with simple goals.

I just want a job that allows me to play basketball during lunch and pays well.

You should have become a programmer instead of whatever it is you are - we have a basketball standard in our office. I'm not a particularly good BBall player but I can hold my own at PIG because I have mastered the art of the bank shot off the fire alarm flashy thing (now non-functional due to absorbing too many bank shots)

How could I forget victories over ranked Virginia and WA State THIS year? Also, I consider it dirty pool that Waters didn't remind me Utah beat ranked Texas a few years back. There are many many more.

(I didn't include AF because I don't trust it's any good for the reasons previously stated.)

Here is another stat:
Recall the lone great win by BYU that was mentioned earlier, which came against OSU in the 02-03 season?

That same season, Utah defeated #1 Alabama.

Not the same season. The OSU win was 03-04, and its not a fair argument. That Alabama team was good but not great; their early season ranking was clearly too high. Alabama ended up ranked 51st in the Massey computer poll and they had a win-loss record of 17-12 that year. Ute basketball has been good enough in the last ten years that you don't have to resort to an example like that.

Where do you get your data?

Pelagius, sorry to be obnoxious and thanks for the data. We Ute fans have suffered much this year.
