Sports Radio Callers....whaaaa?

Been listening to sports radio shows and have been amused by the calls about Utah and the jump to the Pac-10. How it will effect the team and future opponents. As the calls come in I hear that Utah is going to be more dominant with better recruits and more money to shore up the facilities that are far behind other PAC-10 schools. I hear that Utah will be creating a gap in strength among their current MWC brethren and specifically BYU. The move to drop Boise State is due to the already difficult schedule on the Utes plate after the jump.

But I think that the callers need to rethink the their reasoning.

If the callers really believe Utah is a top ten program then they are in the belief that Utah can play an SEC, Big 12, or PAC-10 schedule and fare the same as the 5-0 start contends. Yet they believe that Utah will get better after the move to the Pac-10. If the team is top ten now....how much better can they get? The callers theory is they can handle the best of the best right now. So if they are that good, why the need to move to another conference other than money?
Now I am being a bit condescending but the fact remains that Utah in it's current form could not contend week in and week out in the SEC. I think they could hold their own in any other conference in the country.
But now Utah is falling in line with the BCS powers they have been bashing for the past decade. Dropping Boise State only shows that Utah is going to do what all the other AQ teams do, schedule cupcakes because their schedule in the PAC-12 is going to be difficult enough without playing the Boise States of the future. And the callers on the radio show stating that they are top ten right now but after the conference jump they are going to make this huge progression is just silly, if they are now what the callers consider a top ten team.

Utah is a team that can play with anybody, but it has been the recruiting and coaching of those recruits that has turned Utah into the team that it is. Better talent could make them an even better team, but I kind of like the Utah team that coaches up talent rather than being considered great due to a bunch of 5 star divas that don't go all in.

Coach Whitt keep doing what you are doing...that philosophy is working just fine!
