The 10 worst signs from Utah’s subpar ‘College GameDay’ effort

ESPN’s College GameDay is in Utah today for the Utes’ game against Cal. Naturally a Pac-12 matchup like this prompts strong emotions, but instead we just got REALLY bad signs.

Before we dive into the worst we really need to talk about this sign. It’s special.

He just went so he wouldn't get fined.

Than anyone can!

THAN ANYONE CAN!

My God, Utah ... seriously?! You’re going to make fun of a school with the assertion that Marshawn Lynch is dumb, then you can’t tell the difference between “then” and “than.” Also, what’s with “IF” being capitalized at the beginning? My guess is that they planned to write it all in caps then changed it up. Now it’s just a weird emphasis in the wrong place.

We’ve seen the worst, but let’s break down how Utah managed to hit the magical triumvirate of terrible signs:

1. Old memes

If you make a good Seinfeld reference we'll pretty much always post it.
