Utah joined the Pac-12 in 2011. Since then, it has won one FB championship and played in the title game twice. They have been decent, very good lately. But I wouldn't say they are winning "big time" on a consistent level. I’d take it!

But I wouldn't say they are winning "big time" on a consistent level. My comment was in response to the OP as far as Utah media/fans not respecting the Beavs. It had nothing to do with how the Utes have actually performed since joining. Sorry to confuse folks. You know, this doesn't really matter. Who cares if Ute fans respect OSU, right? I just thought it was funny hearing a Ute fan calling OSU a "small" program, like we're some charity case. Yeah, we fell on hard times for a while. Just about every program does at some point. Doesn't mean we're Rudy over here, as much as other fans might want to Pidgeon hole us.

Both you and Henry misread my response. So be it.
You posted, "Huh? Who are these people? Hey Ute fan, you have no idea what you are talking about if you think this the first time OSU has been competitive. I don't know, but the perspective from Utah just seems a little whack to me."
then in your response to me, you said, "You know, this doesn't really matter. Who cares if Ute fans respect OSU, right? I just thought it was funny hearing a Ute fan calling OSU a "small" program, like we're some charity case".
You certainly don't sound like you thought it was funny...you sounded at least a little offended. Next, if you didn't care....why did you post the thread in the first place? (see underlined above). Lastly, I remember quite clearly that in 2010, there were a few(as I stated in my first response), that thought the addition of Utah and Colorado would be harder for them, and easier perhaps for us. Unfortunately, the threads only go back 35 pages....but I tried.
For me, I'm done with this thread. Carry on.

I wrote the part you underlined Rhetorically, and then qualified my OP because you had posted about it. I do think Ute fans are short on respect for OSU in general, and it does bug, but I can laugh it off too. Not a big deal. Let's kick some Uteass. Go Beavs!

The Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament got much higher ratings than the Men's College World Series. The women's basketball championship game had 4.85 million viewers. The peak viewership for baseball was 1.9 million.
Heck, the Women's College World Series (softball) even had higher ratings than the men.

That is pure insanity! I guess people just don't know.....the college baseball postseason is my favorite! It's baseballs version of March madness, and I think it blows MM outta the water.

The local sports talking heads are predicting us to get our asses handed to us at Utah.
Nolan is gonna have to find a way to move the chains, period. He needs to be exponentially better this Saturday.....No dropped balls. No throwing into triple coverage....Run blocking needs to be better.....then we have a shot.

Women's basketball I would believe... but WCWS???
After doing a little more research it sounds like WCWS has had a surge in viewership the past couple years. The numbers I could find on a quick internet search (admittedly very limited) was that the WCWS numbers are traditionally somewhat lower than men's CWS numbers.
Edit: for example, in 2019, the men's CWS final had about 30% more average viewers than the WCWS final round.

The Mens' CWS had higher ratings overall. The WCWS had higher ratings for the championship series, which was heavily promoted by ESPN and featured the GOAT(?) Oklahoma team.
But who cares? Measuring sports by TV ratings is bunkum. Is the "Field of Dreams" game more important than any other baseball game? If you go by the ratings, it sure is.

If you like softball, there is no alternative on TV at that time. So you watch the WCWS. If you like baseball, almost every single MLB game is available on network, cable or streaming TV. So you don't have to watch the CWS for your baseball fix, you can watch MLB, and also watch your local or favorite team. Millions and millions do.

Measuring sports by TV ratings is bunkum. Is the "Field of Dreams" game more important than any other baseball game? If you go by the ratings, it sure is. Men's College World Series numbers were up over 2021, but pretty much everything was up with COVID-19 still in full swing in 2021. Women's College World Series beat Men's College World Series in 2021, as well. Between 2021 and 2022, they compressed the Men's College World Series schedule, and viewership was down more than 30%. The fact that the Championship Series was an unappealing matchup between Mississippi and future SEC member, Oklahoma, did not help. 2018 is the most-viewed Men's College World Series since 2014 and the most-watched Men's Tournament since 2012. Game two between Arkansas and Oregon State drew 3.1 million. I think that it was the most-watched baseball game, college or professional, before the All-Star Game. More people watched it than multiple 2018 MLB playoff games.
