I agree they will not be a push over. They want to kick us while we’re down. ASU might be favored if Rising is still out. Two weeks to get ready is a big advantage like AU had last week.

I remember those days also proud Ute. 10,000-20,000 at the games. 6-6 was considered a good season. We have come along way with lots of bumps in the road along the way. The loss to Arizona is just another bump.

Miami remember when we used to say the big boys were afraid to play us. We can beat anybody. We could be competitive in a P5 conference. Don’t miss the New Mexico Wyoming UNLV games. Air Force was always a test. BYU TCU were always a big rival for conference title. You could drive to most away games.

The problem with not disclosing the severity of an injury leads everyone to believe the best case scenario. Why not just disclose what the injury is and we can understand why he isn’t playing. This gamesmanship doesn’t fly anymore. I’m sure there is leaks in the locker room and opposing teams seem to know more than we do. Not that anyone cares…[Read more]

Thanks alohaute for the baseball post. It’s nice to see some playoff talk. I haven’t watched hardly any baseball this year but I will follow the padres. I was a huge yankee fan growing up when baseball was king and Mickey Mantle was my idol.

Miami Whitt tried the portal with Brewer who was great at Baylor and Bentley from South Carolina. Neither worked and the big money QBs were getting more than Cam and wouldn’t give Utah a thought with our conservative offense. I think you’ll be surprised at Cams abilities. I know he has been out but he went through spring and fall and looked goo…[Read more]

I respectfully disagree Miami. Rising when healthy is a championship QB. He proved it twice. Last year was a joke and should never have happened. This year is different. The finger injury was a freak accident. Cam won’t put the team in jeopardy if he can’t throw the ball better than Wilson. I think all the negative talk is going to get him and the…[Read more]

Good points. I think the big backs are able to move the pile a little more. JJ would have been a big help. I like MB and I agree he is the best we have in short yardage but he hits the wall and is stopped. A big back might be able get an extra 1/2 yard with body lean.

Mitchell hasn’t shown he can get the extra yard. I don’t remember ever spr…[Read more]

Thanks Rick and Stbone. Always appreciate your posts. The red zone performance was bad. It’s been bad for a couple years. Not having that big back hurts. That RPO with Rising and TT was hard to stop. Rising will open the play book more.

Stbone I was watching Barton last game. He over ran a couple tackles and Fano lost containment a couple t…[Read more]

Amen. We weren’t ready to play.

I agree proud Ute. We’ve been invincible at night at RES. I’ve been to every game (missed a couple is all)for the last 50 years. The Urban second year was the best as far as fan excitement. We had never reached those heights before. Seems every year the expectations have gotten higher and the disappointment higher.

I agree DT.

Definitely a letdown. Also maybe a wake up call. Coaches, players and fans seem to be a little to caught up in he media and fan hype.

I was surprised we didn’t come out more fired up. I pictured it more of a revenge game. We looked tired. Good time to get a bye week. If Cam was healthy enough to play he would have played.

We still have 7 games left and still in contention for a playoff spot. Let’s stay positive and not let 1 bad game ruin a season. Cam will be back for ASU and…[Read more]

Common Ute hub. It’s one game Arizona had a bye last week to prep for Wilson. Rising should (who the hell knows) be back for ASU. We play our best when our backs are against the wall. We can’t afford another loss. This is Cams last hurrah as a college QB and Ute . He comes back and sparks the team just like he did in 2021.

We have a good shot of winning all our games but it’s a long season injuries can play a role in wins and losses. Look at last year.

Universally despised by all Big 12 schools? Thats like calling the kettle black. Sounds like a cougarboard comment. I’m sure you’ve scanned the internet to find some sophisticated fans on twitter to back that comment. I know everyone likes BYU so much. Go back to the free ice cream stand for visitors at LES and hand out Utah thinks their bet…[Read more]

Common man. Powerhouse? Georgia Ohio Sate Alabama are powerhouses. We are a good solid program but let’s see how we do in the Big 12 with a really good team. If we make the final 4 in the playoffs that might qualify us as a powerhouse this year. I’ve been a Ute fan way to long to consider us a powerhouse.
