2008 National Champ

I’d say the week of December 7 but they will just change to “this is the spark that’s going to drive next season”. Followed closely by:

1. the time honored tradition of signing day where every recruit will be a “great get” that chose Utah over __insert name of blue blood here__ which proves the national brand.
2. portal season where everyone who…[Read more]

mic drop

Unfortunately, Kuithe bet on himself and lost. His peak marketability was coming out after the 2021 season and catching on with a team that utilizes a tweener TE/WR as a mid to late round pick. Instead he came back to an OC who has tried to make him into a bigger, slower version of Britain Covey and has played the equivalent of one season out of…[Read more]

I get it. And I’m just having fun with you. But if we really want to dig into it, what’s the fix? Not an alternate reality fix, or get someone out of the portal fix for next season. Right here, right now, how does Utah get to a point where the run game is the weapon we are all used to with the pieces they have available to them?

We can all…[Read more]

I think the Cal game last year was the early kickoff and Utah fans were up in arms. I liked it because I was able to watch the game and then get on with my day instead of something like last night where I got bored watching the clock hoping 8:15 would finally get here. But I’m also watching from my recliner so I don’t have a couple of hours of…[Read more]

Not to mention that it also looks like a horsecollar.

You need to let it go and enjoy your win. There must be better things for you to do than educate Utah fan on why your opinion is the only one to be considered.

I don’t know. Going independent didn’t exactly work well no matter how you try to spin it

in what time zone are the bulk of those numerous games being played?

Based on yesterday’s games, the home teams for the 12am ET kickoffs were:

Georgia Tech
Boston College
Rutgers
Ohio State
Texas
Cincinatti
Louisiana Monroe
South Florida
Middle Tennessee
Alabama Birmingham
Southern Mississippi

lots of Mountain or Pacific in there.,,

Phil Jackson made his living on getting in ref’s heads but college umps are beyond reproach? I’d love to see a side by side of how the Arizona DB’s played Utah and that holding call.

ya know, i think i liked it better when we disagreed on everything. the team was winning, the birds were singing, @utedub wasn’t complaining about running the ball too much or too little.,, just sayin’

🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Actually, if Utah was 9-0 and ranked behind all the teams the parochial school currently is, we’d still be complaining about having to play in what is considered the worst of the P4 conferences. Kinda like we are doing at 4-5. The only difference would be that we would know our record was the product of weak opponents.

And I’d still be saying…[Read more]

You obviously weren’t on the board the last 2 years when we were having these very discussions. Don’t get butthurt because people on here don’t hold the school you root for in the same esteem as you do.

Utah fans wanted the PAC to stay together when SC/UCLA announced they were leaving. We still wanted the PAC to stay together last year before…[Read more]

that was my point on a different thread. If you’ve been calling that a hold all game – which the crew wasn’t – then it’s a hold. But until I see the all-22 from every other play to verify that receivers were untouched by a defender since that call was not made at any other time.,,

Bigger issue to me is why so many parochial school fans can’t…[Read more]

I wasn’t disagreeing

They do the first weekend. At least until their bracket gets blown up. Imagine that, an entire sport whose real draw has nothing to do with the sport but whether or not choosing mascot over team colors is a winning strategy.

It depends on whether you’re trying to crown a national champion for an individual year or figure out who the best team is.

The NFL proves almost yearly that the team with the best record is not a shoe-in to win the Super Bowl. Wild card teams have won and have as good a chance at getting hot for a couple of weeks as anyone else.

As for the…[Read more]

so we shouldn’t run the ball? except when we should run the ball? or should we have done the opposite of whatever didn’t work on the last play?

Can I sign up for a “best of the west” conference now? 12 teams, 11 game round robin, top 4 teams play off for the title. Season is over before Xmas and I don’t have to pretend to care whether Duke could beat Tulane in a neutral site matchup.

WSU and OSU still own the Pac12Network assets. Don’t overprice the streaming subscriptions and be a…[Read more]

Should we be surprised with the bad outcomes of these plays when the personnel involved have little to no game reps?

no comment. just felt that needed to be highlighted
