Spent some time on the socials over the last couple of days (mistake I know). I am not thrilled with the death of the PAC12 and am more saddened by the day. It has become increasingly clear that our new arrangement is the consolidation of store brands in one store. I love the Utes but they were the 5th or 6th “brand” in the conference which…[Read more]

For over a week now there has been small but vocal group of doomsdayers who fear covid will topple the Rose Bowl.  However, could the likelyhood be just as high that one of the playoff teams pulls out and the Utes could be oddly positioned as the best playoff team due to lack of opt outs.
Food for thought if we are going for a ride on the “what…[Read more]

UW fires their OC and has a press conference scheduled this week where Coach Jimmy Lake is likely to be suspended indefinitely.  The buzz is the university is building a case to fire him with cause to avoid a 9 million dollar buy out.

Michigan just lined up in the shotgun on 4th and short 2x in a row.  If Harbaugh is doing it in short yardage the apocalypse is upon us.  

Remember that window between 2013 and 2015 where it was just fun to win games.  Didn’t matter if it was by hook or crook it was just fun to get the W.  I miss that.

BYU to the Big 12 should be viewed as a welcomed development for University of Utah sports.  The biggest thing is that all of the problems that have come with the “in-state game” since 2011 are over.  Our “A” game in the years we are scheduled to play the TDS is now a A5 game meaning the strength of schedule perception argument is alleviated.  If…[Read more]

I know capacity is limited for the Spring Game.  Are they also limiting capacity for Super Cross on the 24th and 1st?  Also, I guess they are just shutting construction down for 3 weekends in a row.
[I know it is not “football related” but football is played in the stadium so…] 

This rash of players hitting the portal today instead of next Monday strikes me as odd with another game coming this weekend.  Is this a smoke signal for Saturday or is it directly related to signing day this week?

Only Losers claim others victories as their own.  I suggest letting your local Cougar fans marinate in this loss without a heckle.  Sometimes confident silence is more effective.

I didn’t realize it was sexually transmitted.

This blows, here I am sitting at my office watching the clock tick away (Pacific Time Zone problems).  Any other year I would be finishing my last beer at the pig and walking to the trax station to be in my seat for a 6:30 kick and to see my fall family in our section.  Such a buzz kill.

It is looking highly probable that a fall season will be played.  Has anybody heard what plans are for fans in the stands, is there talk of reduced capacity?  No fans at all?  If capacity is capped at 40% like some NFL teams are instituting in states that are allowing live events, are we looking at a lottery?  Tickets only for the largest…[Read more]

Is anyone else slightly apprehensive about renewing season tickets.  We now have until May 13 to renew.  For some reason I have a hard time seeing a refund if the season is cancelled or compromised.  A credit would be more likely?  How is everyone else approaching it?
