Is that true? I thought Yassmin was a rugby player who’d never played American Football before.

Those throwback uniforms are my absolute FAVORITES! I can’t for the life of me understand why we hadn’t brought them back again!

According to this zoob on cougarboard, the tdS is now a shoo-in for the BigTen, and Utah had been eliminated from their consideration.

Didn’t hurt Chris Weinke.

I know the trend nationwide has been going to “downsizing” stadium capacity, but there’s another trend that’s been going on in SLC over the past 14-yrs. And that’s “sold out stadiums”. 84 consecutive games. Maybe nationwide, they hadn’t been selling out, so they’d opted to downsize, but that doesn’t necessarily mean their trends are applicable…[Read more]

Been a rough year for the Aggies.

I’ll definitely be at the Houston game, but may be able to swing the Oklahoma St game as well.

You’re not the only one. I would very much prefer the Buffaloes to the zoobs. With CU, the “winner takes all”. With ybu-p, it doesn’t matter who wins, because ybu-p declares themselves the better team anyway. The zoobs are the worst, and the less affiliated with them we are, the better. Let them ride some other program’s coattails. The can…[Read more]

I kinda got the impression that John Kurtz at Kansas St had been a trash-talking whiney little bitch, who’s still butt-hurt that Utah would have preferred to stay in the Pac-10 (before it all fell apart) than join the Hateful 8.

Time to bring Pat Hill back from retirement! He’s still alive, and younger than John Robinson when he’d decided to get back into coaching at UNLV.

The Pac-12’s top bowl game is the Alamo Bowl, but per that article, the Alamo Bowl may now choose any team they want, regardless of record, just so like as they’re bowl eligible. So that means a 6-6 USC team can get in ahead of an 11-1 “4 corners” school.

Correct you are CCU. The ACC makes more money, and with the exceptions of the Stanford & Cal additions, won’t have to travel all over the country.

North Carolina, Clemson, Florida St, and/or Miami will leave the ACC to join the BigTen, or the SEC. In no other circumstance will they leave.

They’re not coming to Big 12.

I absolutely hate seeing FCS teams on our schedule. They’re always too overmatched to show us anything about our team. I’d prefer seeing us playing midmajors in CA, TX, and FL, or UNLV, Colorado St, Army, or Navy.

But if we absolutely MUST schedule an FCS opponent, it should be ala SEC style, where they stick them in November, to serve as a…[Read more]

Phil Steele is projecting the Ga Tech transfer (Johnson) to start opposite of Vaughn. Michigan-transfer Calhoun will likely take the field in 3 receiver sets, when not subbing in.

Rising never played ybu, but then again, neither had you. Rising was on the sidelines back in 2021, so if sitting in the stands qualifies you to want Utah to whoop somebody’s ass, then I’d guess someone who’d suited up on the sidelines in the actual game has bit more claim to it.

Utah is the only Big 12 team who’d not locked into the league for 99-yrs. How would the ACC do a “best of the rest” if UNC, Clem, Miami, and Fla St leave, and they can’t add any Big 12 schools except Utah?

Personally, my preference — in order — would be (1) Utah in the BigTen, (2) Utah in the SEC, (3) Utah in a “best of the rest” league, and…[Read more]

The average BigTen school’s stadium is over 72K. I would think that if we had the means, we should expand to somewhere in the range of 65-70K in order to remain an attractive option. If the decision were made today, Utah would be the BigTen’s top “Big 12” team. But by that time, we could risk losing out to Ariz, Ariz St, and/or Colorado. All…[Read more]

Awesome!!!

What’s the likelihood of Jay Hill returning to SLC as the new DC?
