When it’s all packaged together, yes, it is part of the product.

GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Utah football and BYU basketball. in the forum Football 2 months, 1 week ago
I disagree that college basketball is a worse product than college football. I can barely stand football anymore – there’s a 5-minute TV time out after almost every play. There’s like 12 minutes of actual action in a four hour game. The rest is replays, inane commentary, and ads. But I digress…
Even though my personal preference is basketball,…[Read more]

GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic What music would you play when the team comes on the field? in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I’ve heard that phrase, but just because it is a semi-popular phrase does not make it correct. Games belong to the players.

GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic What music would you play when the team comes on the field? in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
It should be selected per a player vote. Sports belongs to the players, not the fans. We are along for the ride. And if you could ask a player and get an honest answer, you would learn that butt rock is not what they want to hear.

GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic What music would you play when the team comes on the field? in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
This topic is a pet peeve of mine. The only correct answer is: Play whatever music the majority of the team likes. So likely some modern hip hop…Migos, Drake, 21 Savage, etc.
Our fans are predominantly older white males, therefore you want music that appeals to older white males. I’m sorry but our players do not like butt rock. Play your ACDC,…[Read more]

1. Transfers (in and out) change the number of available slots.
2. Class sizes are not equal. -
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Hosting another Olympics will be made official on July 24th! in the forum Misc 2 months, 3 weeks ago
That’s basically it, yeah. Having a racing background helped me get the job (understanding where to push the snow so it’s not near the race line and doesn’t create a safety hazard is important), but that’s about it.
You really just have to have the skill set to snowplow and sideslip down pretty steep, water-injected pitches, and the quad strength…[Read more]

GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Worst parts of the game day experience and how to fix them? in the forum Football 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Worst part of the game day experience: Half the people not showing up until after the 1st quarter.
How to fix it: Hell if I know.Actually, I had an idea once. It would not be legal in any way, but a guy can dream, right? The idea: At the end of the 1st quarter, assigned seating goes away. Anyone who wants to sit in your seats can have them. If…[Read more]

I volunteered as a course slipper at Snowbasin in 2002 and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I’ll definitely be volunteering again.

GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Star rating system is flawed in the forum Football 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Yep. If stars didn’t matter, Nick Saban would just pull random kids from the student body and win with them instead of spending millions and traveling 200 days a year going after 5 star recruits.
In Utah’s case, I’m reminded of an old saying: “Players win games, coaches lose games, referees ruin games.” I think that’s what Whit has done…[Read more]

GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Honest question: Urban Meyer hate? in the forum Football 3 months, 3 weeks ago
A story:
My wife was the Director of Student Employment at the U during Meyer’s tenure. She decided to hold an employment fair one February, but in the past they had traditionally been poorly attended by students. We brainstormed how to get more students out, and she finally decided to invite all the athletic teams out to sign autographs in the…[Read more]

ASU fans are interesting. They think their school is an academic Harvard with the athletics of Alabama. But the reality is that, academically and athletically, they are just Arizona St.

Straight ahead run for a 3-yard TD because we returned the kickoff to the 3 yard line. 🙂

You’re probably right – Craig Smith isn’t the guy. So who are you going to get who’s better? Whoever it is, I bet he costs money.
And how do you keep good players like Deivon Smith? Hint: It costs money.
Look, I get it…not everyone likes basketball. Most of us don’t follow all Utah sports, and that’s OK. I’ll admit it: Swimming has never…[Read more]

“Utah fans, most of which haven’t been to the Hunty in years, act like we deserve better.”
Boom…you nailed it with this statement. It hurts but it’s true.
As a STH who rarely misses a game, I have to laugh while I’m sitting at the Hunty, staring at red chairs all around me, while I read comments online about how we need a better coach (costs m…[Read more]

GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic How do you feel about the hype going into the 2024 season? in the forum Football 4 months ago
I don’t like hype. For any team, any sport, at any level. I know sports hype is a multi-billion-dollar business, but it’s one I refuse to participate in.
There is too much statistical variance in sports to predict it with any level of accuracy, even for experts. And that’s especially true in football where there are so many injuries.
Just win…[Read more]

The wheel route for a TD against Texas A&M in 2003. That was the moment I realized something had changed.
