Utah, How Fun is USC being Horrible?

I love the "where are they now" clickbait articles online. For the cast of Home Improvement, where are they now? Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who was the teen heartthrob of every eighth grader in 1996, now looks like Clint Howard. In the Saved by the Bell cast, Kelly Kapowski is a Mennonite or Screech is dead. Take a look at the guy from Step by Step, he has started a new cult. It is always fun to look at these updates.

I had a similar thought yesterday about a college sports edition of "where are they now." Teams that left their traditional conferences to head east. USC basketball lost to Michigan by 30 points last Friday in Ann Arbor. It is a four and a half hour flight, it's seven degrees. You lose by 30, and then a couple of days later, you lose to Michigan State by 30. USC football has been irrelevant for the last two years in the Big Ten. The same can be said for UCLA, which is 0-2 in Big Ten play so far and was 3-9 in football. Cal and Stanford are both horrible in the ACC. Washington football finished seventh in the Big Ten. Oregon is the only team that is happy. They are in the Final Four. They are the Mario Lopez of the former Pac-12. Everyone else is miserable, and they can all go to hell.

Utah and BYU fans can feel good about their spot in the Big 12. Sure it's not one of the big two conferences, but at least you're not UCLA.
