I didn’t have time to listen to the whole thing, but I did catch the part when they talked about their Utah recruitment. These guys are entertaining to listen to – they have great personalities.

Completely agree. While there are lots of issues and things to fix that the team did wrong in the game, the biggest coaching and team failure is that they didn’t want it. I don’t know if the coaches treated this like Weber State, or that they thought they would just show up and win, or whatever, but they didn’t have fire and passion.

If I were a Cougar fan, I would be careful about your own arrogance. Byu fans get arrogant pretty fast.

I mean, consider this. Byu outplayed Utah pretty much everywhere tonight. Byu wanted this game FAR more than Utah did. You could see it easily. I don’t know why Utah was lethargic and at times didn’t seem to care. Utah was soft. Byu dominated…[Read more]

I like the rivalry game. Of course, my college football beginnings go back to about 1980. I remember watching the Holiday Bowl – BYU vs. SMU with the miracle finish. That’s how far I go back.

So with that, it is a bit difficult to give up the game. Something special is in the air about the game, but that might have more to do with my nostalgia…[Read more]

“Take the high road, show some respect”

Says Cougaboard that has multiple posts a day about Utes being criminals, drunk drivers, etc.

I think you’re right – it was in a game.

That was interesting and a fun watch. Interesting that the QB zone read happened as a broken play in practice. Similar to how the QB run-pass-option was a broken play in practice with Alex Smith under Urban Meyer – although that wasn’t mentioned in the video I don’t think.

Good stuff.

The TrDS fans are always claiming our teams are on par because many of the recent games have been decided by less than two possessions.

Yup. And even when the win by Utah is greater than two possessions, their fans are making ridiculous statements similar to “Well, we gave it away. Utah didn’t really win.” Or, “The game was really much…[Read more]

It was this post that made me think OnlyU was on the staff, or at least had some kind of access to the team and games. But I could be wrong:

ONLYU

Tufua was in a few plays last night I believe. He was in full uniform…Maxs has taken the spot with the ones though so he’s not playing much. Nac…

I have a paid subscription to 247 also. Mind sending me that DM also?

I had a similar experience. Zooming into the sections – no seats to select. Tried and tried. Finally, it just decided to work, and I was able to select seats, and I got the tickets.

And I had to change my password before I could pay, also.

Horrible user experience.

I really hope 2021 is the year Utah finally gets a win at the Coliseum.

I wonder if expanding the playoffs to 8 or 16 teams might help. There are only 4 or 5 teams that recruits think will be a playoff team – those few elite playoff teams are getting nearly all of the top, elite talent. Expand the number of playoff teams, and possibly the top, elite talent will be more willing to go to, say, 8 to 12 teams (if expanded…[Read more]

Does Aaron Roderick get the OC job? We’ll see.

Alex Smith is such an inspiration for all of football now. While my favorite team the Steelers lost and that sucks, I’m so inspired and happy for Alex. Actually, I knew the Steelers would lose this one – as a fan I know that team pretty well and saw it coming – so much so that I decided not to even bother watching the game (didn’t even remember…[Read more]

And the Utah players have been hearing all the garbage that BYU gets fed to them by the media. They will be ready to make a statement.

This.

This is why Utah should play BYU and would win – perhaps by 2 or 3 TDs or more. They will run their mouths like nothing ever seen before. Remember last year when BYU talked – both the fans and the…[Read more]

Ugh!

Yea there must be a hundred versions of Ute fans being horrible people.

I forgot to add to the weird things: referring to the Pac-12 as Pac10+2.

I mean, seriously, Pac10+2, Kyle having a vestigial tail, daily posts about the west concourse – the fanbase is just geeky and weird – unlike any other. I’m probably forgetting a dozen others.
