    It’s going to be a long time before I can disassociate all the support and looking away that Sandusky recieved.

    I haven’t looked at what it is going to take yet, but today I will start looking at what it will take to setup the bowl pick em game.  I want this to be a new “season” category, not associated with what we have done so far.  I also want a description or title for each game so we know what bowl it is.  Plus I’ll have to get the icons and enter all the millions of teams in.

    I’m not sure how complicated it will be to get the new season feature running, and it’s something that will need to happen anyway.  Just never got there before because, well, hell I had a very short period of time to get the thing working!

    I have not looked into getting any sponsors or prizes yet either. Life during this time of year has a tendency to take up a lot of one’s spare time. If you want to throw in a prize or be a sponsor for the game, let me know.

    Stay tuned.

    We still have a politics category here.   Haven’t deleted it yet!  Just keep it under control and no personal attacks.

    I’m processing what happened yesterday and why.  I don’t associate myself with either party.  I’m kind of anti-politics.  I’m amazed at some of the completely stupid comments I’m reading around the social networks and such.

    One reason for the outcome is I think the American public sending a message to the political class that they want something different.

    Andy Phillips’ Instagram post after the game seems to be an indication of Sitake’s genuineness and class. After talking about his baby being born during rivalry week and the support he received from Kyle and the team, Phillips went on to say, “As I walked onto the field Saturday, life was again put into perspective for me as Coach Sitake came up to me, gave me a huge hug and said, ‘Congrats Andy, I love you and am so proud of you. That’s what this is all about.'”

    I’ll trust the perspective of Phillips (and others) who actually know Sitake well. It’s too easy to hold onto the narrative that anyone associated with BYU is an evil, self-righteous a-hole. It’s much harder to accept he can be a fierce competitor, going after our recruits sometimes, who is also a nice guy and wants good things for the friends he still has at the U.

    This isnt everybody, but I know this applies to some

    People love to feel apart of something bigger than themselves. Something that they can enjoy with other people sharing that same passion. Its made even stronger when its connected to your hometown/state, which many people naturally have a strong pride and connection with.

    Its an escape from the droll day to day routine and all of the stresses of daily life. For 3 hours on saturday, all of your problems evaporate. Its nice to have that break from everything that weighs on you.

    For fans of a team like Utah, in particular, I think that bond is stronger, because of all of the things this team has going against them. Being that small cold weather school in Utah. Utah isnt a sexy school. Utah isnt the school all the high level talent is dying to go to. You cant wear shorts to class year round. And did I mention we are in UTAH??? There is still an incredible amount of stigma tied to the state And we are in a conference chalked full of teams that are just what I listed. We work for every damn yard we get. Every win we get. We do more with less than any team in the country, and im proud as hell of that. For me, and many others, that ties into passion associated with being a Ute

    While I respect your opinion, Moose, I disagree.
    I think the fact that they’re being offered to Utah fans first is enough of a concession.
    One could always just go to StubHub and rape people for them… Utah and opposing fans alike.
    At least this way he’s trying to make sure his seat is taken by a Utah fan.

    EDIT:
    This was in response to Moose’s strongly stated opinion that people shouldn’t get as much for tickets as they can, or as much as the market would bear.
    I do not and never will agree with that line of thinking.
    There is risk associated with buying the season tickets in the first place. There is no guarantee of being able to sell tickets when needed at a price where money can be recouped. And if people (including Utah fans) are willing to pay that much for them, who is anyone to stand in the way?
    Things come up. Sometimes emergencies happen and you can’t attend a game. Why lose out on the money when there’s someone to pay the asking price, simply because those that don’t have think it’s unfair that you get to recoup costs or (gasp!) even make a little bit of profit on it?
    That’s just silly. Outright silly. It’s that kind of “social pressure” that exists on that other board that makes it such a drag to be active on. If you don’t subscribe to the groupthink, you’re shot down at every opportunity. And that’s just wrong. But I digress.
    We live in a capitalistic society. If you have supply, and there’s demand, sell it at the price you can.
    And if you choose to only sell it to a Utah fan, then that’s enough sacrifice on principle for me, because that may mean you don’t get top dollar.
    If you disagree with that… by extension, if don’t like free markets, move to China.
    Good hell.

    Good effort.  I should have left at the “edits” but I kept thinking what a same Mitch Harper’s reputation is being dragged down by being associated with such horrible fan fiction grammar.

    Associated Press poll: I wrote 350 words about Utah in last week’s Poll Attacks under a headline that literally read, “Let me explain why you can’t leave Utah off of a Top 25 ballot.”

    Like, that was the actual headline.

    And the 350 words underneath that headline were me making the case for Utah.

    In other words, last Monday, it made no sense for 13 Associated Press voters to submit ballots without Utah on their ballots, and I explained why in great detail. Since then, all the Utes have done is beat Arizona State 81-46 and top Arizona 70-64. So now Utah is 23-7 overall, 12-5 in the Pac-12 and in possession of a resume featuring seven top-50 RPI wins and just one loss outside of the top 50.

    That’s strong stuff.

    I think initially it was as surprise, but he seems pretty content now. doesn’t he have some associate head coach title? I agree I was shocked when Kyle brought in DC over Erickson and I think it set us back. It’s tough because Erickson’s offense had us in games, but we also lost 7 games that year mostly because of losing the TO battle on TWs INTs.

    On my drive to work, I went past Disneyland. Mixed in the tourists walking to the park, I saw a young lady with a red Drum & Feathers Utah T-Shirt. So they’re filtering in already.

    We’ll be at the USC Associates Talegater, guests of a USC alum. I will try to get a selfy with the Song Girls 🙂
