Sec. 237.

See ya there!

I’m not saying it’s a “myth”. What I’m saying is, Utah annually squanders the opportunity for a tune up game, by playing an opponent so weak, it’s not a true “tune up”. Because the competition won’t inspire our athletes to become truly dialed in to the task at hand, nor will they be able to give us any glimpses of deficiencies that we’d rather…[Read more]

Utah rarely plays well after facing an FCS opponent. We always beat up on those grossly overmatched teams, and enter the next game believing we can do that to anyone. But we can’t. And that’s one of the primary reasons why I would like to see us stop playing them — scheduling instead a MWC team in a region we heavily recruit — or at the very…[Read more]

I don’t understand why people will post links to articles that are behind paywalls, and don’t provide any summary. That’s just dumb.

I love the drum & feather, but not for my favorite throw back uniforms.

Maybe….but it’s still hot and humid in Texas. That’s an advantage for SMU.

Go Mustangs!

Good thing Arizona didn’t have to play Montana St!

I thought that Whittingham’s 2011 Sun Bowl victory over Ga Tech was a bigger win than our Emerald Bowl victory over them 6-yrs earlier. But I believe the #10 spot should have been our 2008 come from behind victory over Oregon St.

Other than that, I can’t disagree.

Bronco was just reading the room. He’d knew Whittingham had his number, and how Holmoe and the rest of zoob nation would call for his head if he couldn’t beat Utah with any regularity. Which he couldn’t. He was heading out the door one way or the other. Might as well have been in his own terms.

UNM is a good spot for him. They won’t win…[Read more]

You want 15 sacks? Really? That’s nearly a full season of sacks in 1 game. If we’re getting even a quarter of that number, it’d be time to pull the 1st and 2nd strings off the field.

Agreed. If like to see how those Utes who are changing positions are adapting to their newer assignments.

This! There is no such thing as “running up the score” when…

(1) The starters have all been pulled
(2) It isn’t the 4th-Qtr yet
(3) You’re playing a school who traditionally likes to run up the score against their opponents
(4) The starters are STILL in the game, it’s late in the 4th-Qtr, and you have a BIG lead…

…but you’re playing ybu-p…[Read more]

I prefer noon EST kickoffs, but I understand why folks in the MST and PST wouldn’t.

During my time as a student on the hill, my favorite kickoff times were about 3pm — a “day” game, with an “evening” conclusion, then back to the Sigma Nu house for a postgame party.

Yet another reason for Utah to stop scheduling FCS teams — and especially before November.

I’m stoked! Although I know I’d be more excited if…

(1) We’d stop scheduling weak SOS FCS games. Or at least follow the SEC’s model of playing them in November, to serve as a virtual bye week, to help give our banged up 2-deep a break.

(2) We’d schedule a Wk-0 game….to move up the start of the season, and have that “experience” advantage…[Read more]

Nemo tibi impressus aut tuus Latinus est.

I’ll be staying in Tulsa the night before the game as well. My brother lives there. My dad will be flying in as well, so we’ll all be driving into Stillwater the day of the have as well.

GO UTES!!!

I wouldn’t mind seeing Huard & Rose taking a few series in that game as well. Rising needn’t play more than half of the 2nd-Qtr.

You are NOT the only one. I LOVED those lids. Although, I’d have preferred they weren’t painted to be dirty. I want the shiny silver domes….with the red interlocking U’s.

We might be sitting in the same section.
