dwainegf replied to the topic Re: Recruiting… in the forum Football 6 years, 8 months ago
I love the mountain west. I really don’t buy into the Utah is no fun because the Mormons don’t allow fun dialog. I believe SLC has enough diversity in its culture to find almost any kind of fun you are looking for. However if you are looking for the gang and drug culture or the heavy drinking nightclub culture, it may be a bit more difficult to…[Read more]

dwainegf replied to the topic Photos: New video board, shot clocks, stats boards at the Huntsman Center in the forum Basketball (Men) 6 years, 10 months ago
I don’t know about better seats. AA is right at center court. I sit in BB. I actually prefer the upper bowl because I can see the plays develop better. It is a little harder to see the up close action but that usually is remedied by the video board. I guess we all have our own quirky ways of viewing things.

With great expectation comes either great exhilaration or greater disappointment.

dwainegf replied to the topic Ineligible receiver downfield in the forum Football 6 years, 10 months ago
We are good. I believe the NFL’s offensive formation rule is lacking. In college you can have everyone on the line except the QB. Of course that means only 2 receivers are eligible. This would give the defense an advantage because of the flawed formation. The NCAA allows it. The NFL penalizes it. In the NFL you must always have 7 on the line and…[Read more]

dwainegf replied to the topic Ineligible receiver downfield in the forum Football 6 years, 10 months ago
@chidojuan, Why do games have rules at all? Why only 2 1/2 steps for traveling in basketball? There are lots of rules for sports. They are there to make it fair for both teams. The refs are there to make sure the rules are followed. There may be a great many rules that are unexplained. They are still the rules and each team is or at least should…[Read more]

Very disappointing start for sure. I am glad UCLA fumbled that punt. That seemed to wake up the Utes.

It is a rule. Regardless if we like it or not it has been a rule since I played in the 1970’s. Like holding or clipping or any other rule it needs to be followed or a penalty will be assessed. The players know it is a rule as do the coaches. It is up to them to follow it. It is up to the refs to call it if they see it. Simple as that.

dwainegf replied to the topic Boos from the home crowd 7 minutes into the game pissed me off in the forum Football 6 years, 10 months ago
I booed. I was booing the offensive coaching staff for its late substitutions and lack of focus from the players.
We consistently substitute late in the play clock and have had to call time-out on numerous occasions this year. I believe that should have been addressed and cleaned up by now. I also dislike that we sub out after every play. How do…[Read more] -
dwainegf replied to the topic What a Bruin said about the Utes…and Cougars. in the forum Football 6 years, 10 months ago
I think that a ref should not throw a flag unless he is certain that there is a penalty. I am tired of refs picking up flags that shouldn’t have been thrown to begin with. Be sure of the call and throw the flag after that occurs. How hard is that?

dwainegf replied to the topic Horse collar ot no? in the forum Football 7 years ago
It is a horse collar violation. The refs missed the call. Having said that, there is no way to get every call correct. However, I think the PAC 12 refs are possibly the worst in the country. Too many missed calls. Too many marginal calls. Too many picked up flags. Having a ref pick up a flag causes me to wonder why the flag was thrown to begin…[Read more]

I too like Troy W. However, I only hope to see him in blowout victories.

Progressives and their new ideas. Much like the giant drum taking away the crazy dancing lady. You put family values into the mix and you inevitably wind up with something lame.

dwainegf replied to the topic Playing in Provo in the forum Football 7 years, 1 month ago
We took the train down for the last game. UTA bused us to and from the Frontrunner station. No stress about traffic. It definitely made the experience more enjoyable. The stadium is not the easiest to get around in and starting to show its age. Reminds me of Rice- Eccles from the 1990’s.

dwainegf replied to the topic BYU has beaten Utah in Provo 3 times in the past 25 years. in the forum Football 7 years, 1 month ago
I don’t buy any comment that claims someone dumped beer on them after the game while in the stadium. The beer is long gone by the end of the game. I can believe that some idiot threw a liquid one someone. It is very unlikely that it was beer.

dwainegf replied to the topic BYU has beaten Utah in Provo 3 times in the past 25 years. in the forum Football 7 years, 1 month ago
I went to the last game in Prove. There were maybe 10% Utes’ fans at the game. I feel that BYU has more fans at our home games then we do at theirs. It doesn’t matter though. I believe it will be a closer game than it should and that we will win. At least that is my hope.
BTW, my son and I are going to the game again this year. -
dwainegf replied to the topic MBB Non Conference Schedule Announced in the forum Basketball (Men) 7 years, 2 months ago
If the schedule is that pathetic, why would we lose any games? The problem with power 5 schools’ schedules in the preseason/conference is the expectation of playing mostly home games. I believe that the NCAA should mandate an equal number of home and road games for every team. That would help everyone as far as filling a non-conference schedule.
