That particular game versus Arizona was just ridiculous…I mean, it was like watching the 70s Oakland Raiders with Jack Tatum and George Atkinson play “bump and run” molesting receivers throughout their route…

No, that was a 1PM local kickoff…The last Colorado vs Utah game in Boulder started at 12PM as well.

Are all BYU fans as delusional as you? Your posts are a perfect example of what I was referring to with the BYU fanbase. Where do you get the cojones to go to another team’s website and say crap “well, I’d take blank team over you”…like, you think I, or anyone else here, give a shit about your sophomoric plans for Utah’s future? I now fully…[Read more]

Oh OK Matt…thanks for bringing that up…please inform us in which game during the Utah 2008 football season did the Utes receive a handout from the refs to win? I’m not talking about a close game, I’m talking about a game where if an official doesn’t intervene, Utah loses. I’ll wait…

Exactly…can anyone remember a time where Utah kicked off so early in the day?

Are you familiar with the concept of times zones and that 12PM on the East Coast isn’t the same everywhere in the country? I don’t know why it’s so hard for you to understand that a football game starting at 9 or 10 AM on a Saturday is something out of the mainstream.

They’re not winning shit. Even if they somehow make it to the CFP, they’re going to be boatraced by whomever they play. Just ask yourself this, looking at their roster, is their someone, anyone, that jumps out at you as a player that you have to have? The football Gods are very fickle, and the season still has three games on the calendar. BYU…[Read more]

I’ve only been to three events versus BYU. These are the 2005 football game in Provo, the basketball game last season, and then last night’s game. At the 2005 game, I was new to Utah and really had no opinion, good or bad, towards BYU. That pretty much remained the same way as Utah joined the PAC and left BYU behind. That opinion started to…[Read more]

You’re not breaking anything to me. All I’m saying is that it’s highly unusual to play a game at 10 AM and the only reason that’s happening, is because the networks are setting kickoff times by fiat.

Harlan is not going to fire Whitt because then Utah would be on the hook for a massive buyout. It’s the same reason why Lincoln Riley still has a job at USC.

My point is that it’s an artificial kick-off time purely dictated by the networks. I can guarantee you that neither the players nor the coaching staff nor the fans were consulted. It’s another crystal clear case of the tail wagging the dog.

If I’m going to be in a s**tty conference with s**tty teams, I’d rather be with my s**tty teams.

Has to be there for the UteHub quote of the year. I was never a big fan of the Big XII before joining and being part of it has confirmed all of my biases. The worst part is not having a dislike for the conference but the apathy of being sho…[Read more]

At the end of the day, all college football is, and all sports in general, well, is entertainment. And, if you’re in a conference with a bunch of other schools that you feel no connection to, based in a region of the country you have no connection to, then, that “entertainment” is not going to be pretty entertaining. All I can say is that I’m…[Read more]

I’m not emotional at all. I do think that you’re amplifying your opinions based on where you’re standing. Regarding 2008, I don’t recall any game during that season where Utah was dead and buried but a referee’s celestial intervention gave them new life. That’s exactly what happened last night. That official played God and resurrected Lazarus…[Read more]

Gotta tell you Steel, I’ve been one of Harlan’s biggest detractors on this site for a while but what he did last night earned my respect. It’s refreshing, for once, to see someone in power take off the corporate mask and verbalize what every Utah supporter saw and felt. BYU, congrats on the win. I guess the Ryan Smith check cleared.…[Read more]

How do you know that Zoob? Do you have some magic hat that allows you to read minds or predict the future? The fact is that I, and many others on this website, went kicking and screaming to the Big XII and only did so while holding our nose and because we, as fans, weren’t consulted. What you need to do is worry less about other teams and enjoy…[Read more]

LOL. See, this is what I mean…you people have some sort of deep-seated complex where you have to interject yourselves where you’re not wanted and project opinions that are irrelevant to the discussion. I guess it must be a skill taught at BYU.

Well, I’m there with you. After just one year in the Big XII, I’m ready to throw in the towel on this experiment. For me, and I know a lot of people here see it differently, it’s the Mother of bad inventions. I would love to be in a new regional conference with Wazzu and OSU. Is it a step down? It’s entertainment!!! We’re not looking to…[Read more]

It was a BS call and a case of an official playing God. He giveth and he taketh away.
