Utah on the rise

[bbandlax]

I do not have any real info on the Utah/Arizona game other than the score as reported by the AZ coach over in the WCLL forum. The final was 10-8 with Arizona needing to play catch up at some point to get the win.

I think this is huge for the Utah crew and I for one am glad to see it. In another post "The Lax" questioned why the RMLC needs another top notch team. He obviously has no clue how much better the RMLC playoffs will be with 4 legit teams. In the past it was BYU and CSU trying for the best league record to have a "day off" in the 1st round game. With Utah's improvement that weekend should be a lot more fun. I think that if Utah can continue their improvement this year and in the next few, the RMLC will be able to challenge the WCLL and make a strong claim as the best overall conference in the league (at least comparing the top four teams from each conference). Also, more teams will want to come to Utah because they can have two legit games.

I know this was just one game and Utah still has a lot to prove, but all RMLC fans should be excited about the conferences future.

How selfish can you be? The RMLC already has 3 teams in the top 10. I agree it is great for Utah to be improving but not for the reasons you mention.

Its good for every team in the RMLC for Utah to be improving. For one thing, its a great thing for BYU to have an in-state team that can ball. Its always a good thing to have stiffer compeition within your league, and 4 legit Nationals teams only makes the RMLC more exciting. Good showing utah, hopefully we can improve on your effort and beat the laxcats wed. \

P.S. Scottie, every time i read your signature i crack up. Who doesnt love Jack Handy? I better see you at Alumni weekend!

I was going to be content with your answer in the WCLL forum but your posts lead me right back to my question.

Why are you so worried about the Rmlc?

One of the things that has helped Utah is that they have benefitted from being so close to BYU. They already get a nice home schedule from the Cougars' run-off and it has shown them some top competition. Now the question is can they sustain this momentum for the rest of the year. A couple bad losses at home will throw this team right back down.
