  This team is regressing in every facet of the game. Whittingham’s play not to lose ball has completely stopped working, and it was agonizing to watch when it did work.
  
  The Big XII is a f**king garbage conference which holds zero interest for me. I couldn’t care less for the small-town midwest, and G5 reject leftovers of the conference which used to have Texas and Oklahoma in it. It has no blue-bloods, and will only fall further and further behind.
  
  The reffing has been s**t all year. Apparently Pass Interference isn’t in the Big XII rulebook anywhere, and apparently the refs have money on the games with all the phantom calls and no-calls. Hard to believe it’s worse than the Pac-12 but it is.
  
  College football in general is being destroyed by NIL and the portal, and the breakup of the Pac-12 is unforgivable.
  
  At the start of this season I was telling myself this would probably be my last hurrah as a fan, and I guess without anything to root for, I’m all hurrahed out.
  
  This may have been my last straw.
  
  Ah f**k it.

  I think I’m here as well. Maybe I’ll be back when Whitt is gone.
  
  Maybe I’ll be back when Utah is in a western conference.
  
  But this all sucks. And even if Utah was undefeated…would it be fun?
  
  These teams suck. This conference sucks. The game has passed Whittingham by. No QB and run, run, run ain’t good enough.
  
  Then you throw in all the extra nonsense. You can’t watch practice. You can’t watch scrimmages. You can’t see anything to do with team except on game day.
  
  No injury reports. The game has less plays because of a running clock (which Whitt was a huge advocate for) but lasts the same amount of time due to the commercials.
  
  NIL. Transfers. Rising.
  
  It. All. Sucks.

    You guys suck, if this conference is garbage. It’s a bad look and karma has bitten the Utes this year. Do you want to go back to the Pac 12 which is now a G6 conference? If you do you don’t care about playing at the top level of cfb.

      A bad look? Yeah, the Utes look bad, the conference looks bad, cfb looks bad, Whitt looks bad. The point is, it’s bad. It’s all bad. So bad.

      If Harlan/Randall can find a escape clause, I for one would be happy being in the new PAC. Eventually Cal and Ford will be coming back home too. Better than what we have now and never wanted to be here in the first place. Money is nice. Being home is better.

        That would be the dumbest thing any school has EVER done. To willingly go from P4 to a s**tty conference that will be worse than both AAC and MW and maybe even Sun Belt. Amazingly stupid thing to even think about.

        I’m not sure I agree. There’s around 100 schools that think they should get into the 40-48 team P2. Now’s the time to decide what you want your future to be in college football.
        
        For me, I’d rather see Utah get back to regional competition than some bastardized semi-pro league dictated by two television networks. I worked too hard for my money to waste it on what CFB is shaping up to be and I’m tired of giving up my Saturday evenings, win or lose.
        
        But by all means, enjoy the hell out of your season. Last night’s game reminded me of Utah-TCU in 2008 where it really became clear that the team would manage to overcome any adversity. Just don’t expect me to give a crap about your situation just because my team is stuck in the same conference and your school is geographically co-located.

    I stopped buying tickets this year and have not cared about going to the games after 25 years.
    
    I got remarried this past August in Cusco Peru to a wonderful woman and I would rather spend time and money flying to Peru to be with her than watch the garbage on the hill.

    Grow up haha. You think you’re a blue blood? You ARE a G5 reject 😂. You don’t like the conference because you can’t win, funny how that works.
    The B10 didn’t want you, without the B12 you would be sitting there looking forward to yearly conference matchups with Utah State.
    At least you have 2 rose bowl trips to dream about.

      I didn’t say Utah is a blue blood. I said the conference has no blue bloods. Even the ACC has a couple. The Big XII is the weakest of the so called P4, and it’s only going to ever be a 1 bid conference. The schools are weak, uninteresting, and I feel no connection to them. I have zero abiding interest in them. It’s s**t. Don’t give me that crap about the XII saving us, because the conference was way happier to get the 4 corners schools than the 4 that joined last year. But, again, who cares? What a fustercluck.

  Destroying PAC12 really makes the past 12-13 years feel meaningless honestly.
  
  I say feel even though I know it isn’t.
  
  NIL is fine but they need to get a CBA on it with some rules.
  
  I think you care still. It’s why you are here. Let TSPP have their hollow close victory in the best season they have had in years.
  
  I am eating that crow when I said Sitake would be s**tcanned after this game. Crazy how I want Whitt to retire now. Problem is after that horrible official call it means Harlan will ignore the problem and blame everything else. Utah is in this situation because of one man. His name is Kyle Whittingham.

  The PAC was obviously a lot better conference but I really don’t care that much about the move. Football is still fun, nothing really changed.

  Gotta say it. Ya’ll deserved the loss and a lot more. In town for a medical conference, went to the game. I witnessed the worst behaved fans I’ve ever seen anywhere. A group of Utah fans were yelling “F BYU!” to any one wearing BYU gear (including families with small children).
  I saw another man standing on a bench looking for someone in the crowd. His kids were nearby and another group of “fine Utah citizens” yelled F-BYU then shoved him off the bench. He fell and I stopped to see if he was ok. He seemed to have sprained his ankle. I asked him if the behavior I saw was normal for Utah fans and he confirmed it was.
  I’m a Longhorn born and bred, with no skin in this game, but I had to say what a bunch of lowlife c**kroaches your fans are!
  All I can say is ya’ll better pray you never play UT on our turf because our fans won’t put up with crap like that and you better believe we’ll do whatever it takes to stop it. I’m going to ensure we never have another medical conference in Salt Lake again.

    Hookem: yeah, we do have some crappy fans. And particularly when we play BYU it, brings out the worst in them. But the reality is almost every team has some fans like that. Out of 50,000 Utah fans at the game, how many were rotten despicable POS’s? Even if it was 500, that’s just one percent.
    
    Our team and fans have been absolutely gutted this year, and in regard to expectations and reality, this is probably the most brutal seasons we have ever endured. But for you to come onto our message board after a loss like that pretending that no Texas fan has ever done anything questionable is pure garbage. I honestly don’t care if you and your “holier than thou” attitude never come back to Utah again.

    Thank you oh wise Longhorns fan. Your fans have such impeccable respect from your peers. Before you come here with your condescending lecture please clean the trash off your own field. We have our own psycho fans and you have yours.

      Yeah, kind of weird. A random Texas fan is in Salt Lake for a “medical conference”and goes to a utah game and then creates an account on utegub to complain.

    Not making excuses for some loser Ute fans, but you have those kind of obnoxious fans in every fanbase. Unfotunately, Utah does have some very very bad ones. When Texas lost to Georgia a few weeks ago in Austin, fans threw all kinds of crap on the field seen on national TV because they didn’t agree with the call and they were also down by 2+ TDs. There are embarrassing fans everywhere.

      that’s the question I want answered. the 2nd would be how he/she managed to get tickets. the third would be what his/her username is on the parochial school fan boards.
      
      Otherwise, story checks out 🙂

  IMO, Whitt needs to retire end of season or Utah’s football program will see losing seasons, less ticket sales and take a hit in recruiting. For some of you Whitt apologists, this will happen. I say he retire to save himself and the program from further embarrassment.
