“It’s ironic to see BYU-Provo Campus fans enjoying the moment. Nothing like watching the suffering of others to take your mind off your own suffering.”

I’ve watched BYU fans online in the past few weeks, and even though I knew what kind of fanbase they are (at least online – I have some BYU fans in my family and coworkers that are great), I am s…[Read more]

Byu fans are enjoying the moment. Funny. I think it proves without question that they are more happy about what they see as bad news for Utah than they are happy about any good news for their program.

Funny. As I’ve read comments on other sites by Big12 fans, they sound awfully like Byu fans. I swear byu fans are going around to other sites and…[Read more]

I’m a paid subscriber to 247 and I don’t find it toxic at all. Ocasionally some heated discussions arise, but not too often and nothing to make me rethink my subscription. It’s filled with great inside info. Think of it as having dozens of OnlyU posters who post everyday. OnlyU posts there but not too often.

But I like it here too and visit…[Read more]

Yes visiting Cougarboard when their football team is losing is indeed great entertainment. I have laughed myself to tears of all the hundreds of “Flippin fetching!” type of comments. The meltdown is hilarious since it is different. All fanbases have their meltdown moments but Cougarboard is just hilariously different.

Try it sometime.

Awesome! Utah has 10 commits so far – four are from Texas! That is good news as Utah expands its recruiting in Texas as it will need to do as USC/UCLA move out of the Pac.

I have never seen such an insecure group of people. It’s straight up weird. The growing disparity between the programs over the last decade has really done a number on their collective psyche. It’s fascinating.

Nailed it again. I have never seen a fan base so out of their minds obsessed beyond crazy to “one-up” their rival. It is weird bey…[Read more]

Fantastic post UteFanatic. Excellent logic. I agree completely.

Not sure. I don’t know enough about Steele’s analysis and the situation of Utah’s O-line. Maybe OnlyU can answer that. If I remember correctly, Steele rated Utah’s O-line quite high before the beginning of last season. I hope I am not mistaken on this, because the details are fuzzy in my memory. I thought he was crazy, especially after the first…[Read more]

He says this about Utah’s offensive line:
“Offensive line is my biggest worry going into the year … I’m not optimistic.”

And yet, Phil Steele has Utah as the #6 rated offensive line going into 20222.

Somebody’s knowledge here of Utah’s offensive line is spectactularly wrong, and I’m betting it is NOT Phil Steele.

Seems he’s back now?

I’m really sorry, but I was misinformed, and there was a ton of miscommunication, and so I acted upon it, I will not go into any further detail about it. But with everything made clear now.
My decision is that I will stay Committed to the University of Utah ❤️🤍💯@Utah_Football

If this weren’t Zach Wilson – if it were a current Ute in the NFL that made that exact statement, there would be 30 threads with 500 comments by now on CougarBoard and dozens of tweets on Twitter dishing out their wrath to Ute fans and former Ute players.

LOL!

I kept thinking the same thing. I remember years ago when Connor Manning threw 3 interceptions IIRC and Donovon Isom had like 15 yards of total offense in the spring game.

Our walk on players today could do better than that, let alone the twos and threes.

By the way, I thought JJ played well and I’m excited about his future. If it wasn’t for that INT, I’d give him the slight lead. Can’t wait for it all to come together for him.

I was at the game. My thoughts are that Barnes is slightly ahead as QB2. It seems that Barnes was more willing to take what the defense was giving. Whereas JJ made a few dangerous throws, one of which was an INT. Given that Whitt hates TOs with a passion, if I had to guess Barnes would be the QB2 as of now.

However, I predict JJ will eventually…[Read more]

I attended both Weber State and the U of U in the early 90s. Being that it was so long ago, I don’t think what I experienced applies today. But just for fun, here goes:

I actually experienced more anti-LDS sentiments at Weber State. A psych profession in my first class started the class by saying, “I don’t want to offend those who are LDS…”,…[Read more]

BYU fans have commented non-stop about the Rose Bowl and how Ute fans are “celebrating a loss”. Twitter and CougarBoard and elsewhere must have hundreds (maybe thousands) of comments by jealous BYU fans. They don’t realize how jealous they are.

Of course, we are not really celebrating a loss as much as we are celebrating the experience of being…[Read more]
