Still suffering with the Disney/Charter-Spectrum dispute so no ESPN – appreciate all the Utehub comments and perspective as can’t watch the game live and can only see highlights on the ESPN website!

Did anyone else notice the graphic after Oregon State’s victory? Pac12 is only undefeated P5 Conference after 1st week and for the first time since 1932…

TX_UTE replied to the topic Perspective in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

Hope Johnson gets some quality reps (b/c the Utes are comfortably ahead) as the Big 12 has always been a
“shoot out game” type of league. Not discounting Barnes’ QB skills but the Big 12 is all about high scoring games. Because of that will be very interesting to see how the Utes version of smash mouth football travels, albeit from a very small…[Read more]

TX_UTE replied to the topic Any watch parties or places to watch the game in DFW area? in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

I was all settled in for the game and right after the intro discussion by Herbstreit and co the screen went black, so I restarted the TV, still black, so I went to my computer and still nothing! Finally this morning there is some weak-a##ed excuse about how the Mouse is trying to hold them up for a significant increase! Bottom line was nowhere in…[Read more]

Shiplap! (Ask your wife or SO!)

TX_UTE replied to the topic SEC arrogance in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago

I think another key to SEC scheduling is to schedule the first two non-conference games at the start of the season and then the third the week before the biggest rivalry game so you can rest the starters after the 1st quarter and keep them fresh for the following week.

I also live in the DFW area and just rechecked and found no watch parties. There is an Alumni Chapter but doesn’t appear to be particularly active. Best bet is a Sports Bar as it’s on ESPN – but being a U fan/alum, you’ve already figured that out!

Go Utes!

For fans of Ted Lasso, this thread reminds me of the last episode of season 1, entitled “The hope that kills you”!

As always, Go Utes!

TX_UTE replied to the topic New FB Group in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

Hey there – I’m old so still on FB! And it turns out the new page admin is a fan of the band I referenced so all good!

Go Utes!

Just got banned from the new FB group “The New Big12: Civil Discussion about the Big12 Conference” for posting this in response to complaints about U and Zoo fans trash talking:

As the late Jack Terricloth of the band WIFS put it best, “I wouldn’t want to live in a World without Grudges”

This is going to be fun!

Yep.

TX_UTE started the topic Sharks and Minnows in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 3 months ago

So here is my last thought on the recent conference realignment. A work colleague of mine used to describe the appearance of “sharks and minnows” that would show up when any endeavor was thrashing about for survival. In this case, the endeavor was the PAC 12 media deal, and the shark is the B10 and the minnow the B12. The B10 started the pro…[Read more]

Great! Can someone please do the bunker version? Would be especially funny when he finds out about the partial share…I’d do it but I don’t have the skills!

TX_UTE replied to the topic FYI Press Conference today @11:30 w/Harlan + Randall in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

Nice job, the U is lucky that these two had been able to build such a good working relationship going into all the craziness of the last few months!

TX_UTE replied to the topic Utes at #14 in coaches poll in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

And that’s why they hate us – new league members are not supposed to come in and take the spotlight…’course the Utes have to prove it on the field!

TX_UTE started the topic Big 12 in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

Scattershooting on random thoughts re conference realignment – not to get all preachy, but in the U’s case, virtue is its own reward. By joining the PAC, taking a smaller payout for a period of time and then building a valuable national brand Utah was able to move effortless on to the Big 12 with a full media share. The U’s administration playe…[Read more]

TX_UTE started the topic The U and Academics/Conference in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 3 months ago

Knowing this will be an unpopular take, I believe all things even being close to equal, the U administration will prefer the association with the PAC-whatever over the B12-whatever. Per Wikipedia, “It is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and is classified among “R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity.”…[Read more]
