I agree 100%. Scoreboard is another solution. My dad always said “ respect is earned not a given”.

Nice post and act of kindness. Just a friendly reminder of what’s really important in life. Let’s carry those thoughts in to the game tonight and be gracious hosts and guests. Go Utes

Look no further to Utah Basketball to prove what Miami is saying.

Well said Miami. We all think that way but reality doesn’t agree!

So true proud Ute. The years of futility and the slow climb to the top has been amazing. More than I ever dreamed. Next year could have been the pinnacle. Only a select few can reload year after year and make a playoff run.

Michigan is where I hoped we would be next year. Lots of 4-6 year guys that all come back for a championship run. Hoping to…[Read more]

I’m probably the most mild mannered fan on earth. I’ve been to many away football and basketball games in my life. I have never insulted or drawn any attention to myself. Watch the game cheer for your team and be respectful as you are a guest.

A few years ago I went to the Utah-BYU game at the Hunstman center. Over half the upper bowl was BYU fan…[Read more]

I hear you Larry, Georgia and Alabama seem to pull it off year after year. Michigan has been building this years team for years. I was hoping we were on that path next year. My expectations have dropped considerably.

Throw in the bowl game on top of that. I’m exhausted and I’m retired.

Latest betting line : Utah -7. Northwestern over achieved this year. Interim head coach promoted to head coach. 1-11 last year. They will be excited for the opportunity to play in a bowl.

Don’t forget HS recruits. Lots of bases to cover.

The question isn’t who is not playing but who is left to play? Looks like a watered down CU game. I wonder if Tom Lovat is coming out of retirement to coach them. Glad we get 15 practices to work with next year portal transfers.

Don’t mean to be so negative but why play these bowl games at all? Recruiting players that might actually play nex…[Read more]

I guess we’ll see what kind of heart this team has. Having your home court full of rival fans would piss me off as a player. Respect is earned not a given. If you want fans back play inspired and earn respect.

With the Jazz being down. Now is the time to get some casual fans back. We are moving to the #1 basketball conference next year. Go Utes!

We need to send them back to Provo with a “L”. That’s the only way to shut them up! Sad that we can’t get enough student and fan support for a rivalry game.

Sad to see him go. College and professional football has gotten so violent and the athletes are so big and fast. Injuries are now more common. He is 1 play away from ruining his career. It’s become an issue. Look at the number of injuries we had and the risk has become to great.

Im with you Miami. I was a huge baseball fan. The strike ended it for me. I don’t watch anymore. I quit going to Utah basketball because of style of play. I watch fewer Jazz and NBA games.

I now coach my grandsons baseball and basketball teams. I get the most enjoyment in teaching kids how to play the sports I grew up loving.

Just what we need. Lawyers and judges screwing up college sports. Maybe congress can help. Good luck with that. The only solution is stop watching and the market will correct itself. Rehabilitation for sports addiction is the only solution. I admit I’m an addict. Some SA (sports addiction ) meeting might get me off the couch so I miss a few g…[Read more]

Thanks Miami for the post. He makes some great points. Sad that we have got to this point. Money is driving the bus.

Well said Idaho. We have kids that can’t afford college. Homeless people crowding our streets and we are paying 18-21 yr olds millions to play football that have full ride scholarships.

It’s funny you bring the Miami Dolphins fan base. Growing up in the 60’s I became a die hard Packer and Yankee fan. Not because of affiliation to the cities. They won and were the only teams that played on TV. I bet you would find that true with each generation that didn’t have a local team. Kids want winners !! Except my brother who I share…[Read more]

Bowl games used to be a big deal. It was a reward for a winning season. Plus extra practices for the younger guys. I see it more as a burden for coaches and players. Coaches need to spend that time recruiting and playing the NIL game. Players get burned out after spring and July – Dec. practices.

They need time to heal work on their bodies…[Read more]
