Why are we talking about a new OC? What’s wrong with keeping Ludwig? Did I miss some announcement that Ludwig will retire when Whittingham does? Do he and Scalley not get along?

Must’ve been painful for him to hear how much respect Utah gets all across the country.

It’s obvious Toll knows how badly the Big 12 NEEDS Utah in the league, and how reluctant Utah appears to be to stay in the Big 12. Toll is a “Baylor” guy, so he’s well aware of how frequently, and easily they’ve been abused by bigger programs (re: Texas,…[Read more]

This is great news! GO UTES!!!

I think he’d be a good fit for Utah St. Plus, if he’d be willing to take the HC job at Weber St, why would he turn his nose up at the Utah St job?

Utah St HC > ybu-p DC

Whittingham won’t run up the score on Sitake. Plus, historically, once he has a comfortable 4th-Qtr lead, he stops playing the game, and starts playing the clock. He’d rather have time consuming 1st-Downs than TDs.

To be clear, I wasn’t suggesting Utah is a powerhouse basketball school. We’re not. Not since Majerus left anyway. All I’m saying is, if we’re not a basketball power, and we’d have a better basketball resume than the tdS, the zoobs can’t stake any claims to being a basketball powerhouse either.

Correct you are D_T! Utah is a football powerhouse because we’ve been demonstrating consistency year over year. In the past decade, Utah football finished ranked in the final polls 6 times, won 5 divisional titles, and 2 conference titles. And we’re projected high in the current preseason.

On the other hand, over the past decade, ybu-p…[Read more]

Personally, I hope Glover and Mitchell will be prepared to take our running game back to Utah’s traditional level of excellence, and moved Bernard to a hybrid RB/slot receiver role to open up the passing game, while still keeping the LBs honest. And since to my knowledge, TCU will be the only Defense running the 3-3-5 stack model, so this…[Read more]

We need a RB! I believe this will be Bernard’s last season.

I’m not too sure about us being better positioned in the TV ratings, than we were in the Pac-12. The Big 12 has 16 teams now, so that’ll make it more difficult to get on the major networks. I believe we’ll be seeing more game on ESPN-plus, than we’d been saddled with on the PACN.

First of all, it’s already been demonstrated that Utah had the larger fan base. That’s why we always outpace ybu-p in the Nielsen ratings, in Dow polls, and in merchandise sales. The reports of ybu-p having a larger fan base come from within your own bubble. But the truth is, it’s a myth.

Second, the Big 12 didn’t throw us a lifeline. That’s…[Read more]

Our throwback Red & Gray uniforms are also my favorite as well. I’ve been very disappointed that we hadn’t seen it again since 2019.

It’s because there aren’t any links likewise hyping up ybu-p.

Correct you are Red Rhino! During my year in the bubble, I’d concluded that ybu-p is nothing more than a modern day Rameumptom. It’s such a vile place off of [misplaced] “pride”, I don’t know how or why the church continues supporting it. And “unchecked” no less. This arrogance isn’t condemned. It’s encouraged.

Last year’s basketball season was your best ever since Jimmer? The season where you lost to Utah and went another one-&-done vs some double-digit seeded no-name team that never hears their names called on Selection Sunday?

Zoobies have always been super weird. That’s why I transferred to the University of Utah after my freshman year.

That’s just zoobie folklore. You all say the same thing, so you think it must be true, and you want to feel loved and included so you say it too. I’ll bet you even have a fairy tale to tell about having been attacked at Rice/RES by one those phantom beer bucket brigades that fit since reason nobody ever caught on camera. Must have had beer…[Read more]

That’s what I’m talking about! But let’s keep one “Blackout” game per year. They seem to be historically right around Halloween weekend. That seems reasonable to me.

Hear, hear!

Been saying’ that for years!

That petition had been up all weekend, and there are only 444 signatures??? I thought that zoob nation was supposed to be bigger that that! So much for that “national fan base” they’re always bragging about.

This guy is worried that we think they’re “hicks, rednecks, [and]farmers”, but spells the word “convenience” c-o-n-v-e-n-a-n-c-e…

…and then fails math by suggesting they kick out 1 school, and replace them with 2.

He also accuses us as hating on the other 15 teams, but I don’t recall anyone ever being dismissive of TCU. Neither…[Read more]
