Roll 'Bama Roll has an interesting debate on Utah
Block U — ... Utes are on the verge of becoming a national power, but that doesn't seem to be the debate they are having. Instead, it's turned into parsing my words and making me out to be the overzealous fan who lost any ability to think rationally.  For those Block U readers who have already read through there and defended Utah, thank you. For those who haven't ventured over, I'm not asking you to troll, but you might feel inclined to defend Utah's honor.  This is the post. Enjoy.
