I’ve wondered why they don’t fire sale those seats…. I suspect it might be a slap in the face of season ticket / CC members who pay more than face value for their seats. For $5 I might be inclined to go to a game or two per season. But there are a lot of games. It’s a lot of logistics for me schedule-wise, people wise (elderly father, 12 year…[Read more]

I’m proposing it. There is no current deal like that I’m aware of. But until the upper bow is packed, might as well offer it.

All I do is just start the radio feed, then you’ll quickly see that the TV is about 15-30sec ahead (typically although it can be as much as almost a minute). So you watch the play, and un-pause it as Bill’s play by play or the sounds matches the game.

Depending on the venue, sometimes you can hear the ball hit the rim on a FT, or usually you…[Read more]

Hilarious. “…who became a

College football isn’t healthy for you anymore, brother. Very obviously. Maybe just make peace with that and find some things for this fall that don’t suck the fun out of life for you.

Looking at Utah’s schedule, here is where I have them:

For sure wins:
Cal Poly
Wyoming

For sure losses:
No one.

The rest: Look at the rest of the games. I could see Baylor, BYU, Kansas St, ASU, Kansas, Tech, Cincinnati, and WVU all blowing us out if we play like we did last year. That is 8 losses.

But if we get back to having a decent QB,…[Read more]

Ugh. College Football really just sucks now. Look, ASU and BYU were both 10 win teams, they both bring back their QB’s, they get slotted up high again. I get it.

But how do you slot anyone else? Hell, look at Utah: we brought in 2 transfers, kept Wilson and have 2 HS QB’s coming in. There is a really, really good chance that three of those 5 are…[Read more]

I’ll try that…how do you sync the game?

I used to be a huge basketball fan (college and pro) but now the only basketball I watch are the Utes and some March Madness. I started losing my interest in the NBA when the Golden State Warriors’ style of ball began its ascent and now it’s completely gone, more than likely never to return. Case in point, I went to see the Miami Heat versus the…[Read more]

Still love college hoops and am in the Hunty for most games (when I don’t have a family/work commitment).

Pretty much not at all interested in the NBA due to a number of factors including a lack of defense, endless unguarded three point attempts which are often from 30-40 feet, rest management, etc. And of course our local team striving to…[Read more]

RE best announcers to call the game

I know you said you are old, but I’m in my mid 50s, so I am also somewhat old. So if you are old old, then maybe disregard (for example I wouldn’t recommend this to my parents who struggle just to put their cell phone on speaker mode). But if you are just regular old like me, meaning you have a smart phone…[Read more]

How do you get this deal?

With 5 seconds left, after a foul was called against Utah on the inbounds play before the ball was even thrown in, Knell stepped up to the line with the chance to give BYU the lead. Bricked the front end of the one-and-one. Can’t blame that on the guys in stripes.

ESPN+ is way cheaper than buying DishNetwork just to have the awful low quality poor distribution Pac12 Network. I know it’s great to be on regular TV, but given that we are a long way from commanding regular TV spots, I for one am ecstatic about being on ESPN+.

That’s just dumb, if you watch the game the foul count was virtually equal until the end of the game where the intentional fouling started. It was 26 to 17 PF, and Lawson & Ezra shot a combined 19 FT (making just 9). Then you had Hunters 4 FT and Dawes 2 (again making just half), so clearly the 1) the fouls went that way not because of the refs…[Read more]

Hopefully some of the fans attending had a fun and exciting enough time to attend a few more games. Near the end of the game, the scoreboard indicated seats for future games were available for $10 each (which is pretty cheap compared to any seats in Rice-Eccles).

All we know for sure is that right now the Utes are a bad football team in a bad conference. If the backslide of the last two years continue, I’m afraid the Utes will be trapped here for good. Time is of essence.

I chuckle at any poll that contains the words “way too early”. Even the title is admitting that the poll (and polls are flawed no matter what) is basically BS.

It would be like writing a chemistry paper with the words “junk science” in the title.

Any kid 12 and under in the upper bowl is free, everyone else in the upper bowl $5.

I think BYU will be good, but they were among the luckiest teams last season and those sorts of things tend to even out. I have them at 8-4.

ASU losing Skattebo is a HUGE deal. Keeping Leavitt is great for them though. I expect they will go 8-3.

As for the Utes, we’ll have a serviceable offense and defense will be solid. We’ll bounce back,…[Read more]
