Have tickets been released to purchasers yet?

If they are going to contribute more than 1 or 2 big plays this season, they will need to do what Vaki and Weddle did, which is contribute in more ways than 1. With Vaki there were a few different runs he could pull off, and he was a home run threat in the passing game as well. He was a legitimate running back. With Weddle, he could throw, run,…[Read more]

Returning kicks is not the same thing as playing on offense. Obviously, whoever is returning kicks, everyone knows who is going to return the kick unless there are onside kicks or other shenanigans ensue.

Whatever helps us win I’m in favor of.

Vaki was awesome playing 2 ways a couple of years ago. As was Eric Weddle.

Back in the 80s I wonder if we should have used one of my favorite Utes, Errol Tucker, occasionally on offense. He was so electric with the ball in his hands.

The very fact that we are discussing crap like this is one reason why I hate being in the same conference as those tools. That can sometimes filter down to the conference because we are stuck here right now. Ask yourself this, if BYU was NOT in the Big 12, would you have a different feeling toward the Big 12? I know I sure would. It is not the…[Read more]

Lander was an excellent TE in high school. Not sure I like the idea but I get it.

Gimmick players are not a good thing IMO. When they come in, everyone knows what is about to happen. If they are going to play both ways all the time, and they are capable of it, fine. It doesn’t even have to be close to every snap, just enough so that it isn’t obvious what we are about to do when they come on the field. That was one of Ludwig’s…[Read more]

It’s because apparently they’ve only told the season ticket holders who are on a payment plan? If you were on a payment plan, they texted you if you didn’t update your info you’d lose your tickets I guess.

If you look for the emails about buying single game tickets from like July 7th, it tells you to create your paciolan account. The AD really…[Read more]

Hmm. I haven’t heard about this. Seems like someone is dropping the ball.

The pumping in crowd noise claim is one of the million reasons I can’t stand being in the same conference as those idiots. Everything they do or say seems so childish.

The pumping crowd noise claim. Sigh.

This is one reason why it is so frustrating being a Ute fan. We have to deal with this childish nonsense from byu fans. And the worst part is that this stupid claim by byu fans will probably never die. 10 years from now another byu fan somewhere will bring it up. And lots of byu fans will cheer it on: “Utah…[Read more]

They mic the band simply so they can be heard over the crowd.

But no need to mic the crowd. We make enough sound on our own.

Thinking of the TCU game in 2008 and the announcer said “this is a well build stadium, the press box is shaking”

Well said ALUF.

I agree Beach. It’s hard to cheer when you have nothing to cheer about. The return of Rising and a favorable schedule. Plus a possible final year for Whitt. It set up a possible CFP run. Most fans (me) drank the koolaide and just the opposite happened. Back to back years of boring no offense football that was not fun to watch. The Arizona game w…[Read more]

I think that’s an excuse. It’s simple: Utah was not fun to watch last year. Fans disengage when the team is bad – and boring in the process. It was very frustrating watching the Utes last season. Take the Arizona game. That crowd was jacked at the start but the energy evaporated pretty quickly when Utah had drive after drive stall with no points.…[Read more]

Honestly, it’s the whole big12 thing. Not just the conference, though it is harder to get excited about Baylor when we were used to SC.

But it was the way it all went down as well…. The botched TV deals, SC and UCLA leaving, weeks of uncertainty, then ending up where we did.

Top that off with injuries, injury updates, or lack thereof, it…[Read more]

I don’t view this as a negative. Worked well for Vaki. Snowden is a great player, put him on the field as much as he can handle without getting injured or burned out.

So what does that say about the players we already have on offense? Not good enough that we have to move good players on defense to offense to make up for the lack of athleticism and talent on offense? That’s what the moves would indicate to me.

Not only that, the portal transfers they brought in during the offseason are not living up to what…[Read more]
