I have a brother who works as a chiropractor in Tulsa. I believe that puts him only about an hour away from Stillwater. Workload permitting, I might make a trip out for a game at Boone Pickens.

PhiladelphiaUte replied to the topic Some talk online about Utah considering a move to ACC in the forum Football 6 months ago
Last year, Utah was picked to come in 3rd in the Pac-12. And then Rising and Kuithe couldn’t play, and Rose lacerated a kidney right before the season started, dooming us to our 3rd & 4th string QBs. And then Yassmin got injured. And then Bernard got injured. And so and so forth.
In the end, we didn’t finish as high as 3rd.
What’s to stop that…[Read more] -

I would LOVE to see our lacrosse program in the ACC! Not more than the BigTen, but the ACC cones in a very close second!
That said, if we do opt to go to the ACC, it won’t be during the 2024-25 school year, so we don’t have to choose right now. We’ll get to play a season in the Big 12 first, And see how that plays out.
If we DO opt to defect…[Read more]

It’s f-ugly, and while I doubt something like this could become a tourist attraction, locals should be concerned about if it could, what kind of tourists would it attract, and are they the sort that they’d want to bring in. After all, Utah already has enough challenges as it is dealing with their “weirdo” reputation nation wide.

Beaver Stadium is already top notch. I’ve attended many games there over the years.

I’d take Urban Meyer in a heart beat, and consider ourselves LUCKY that he’d decide to return. I don’t see Meyer’s presence on the hill diminishing Scalley’s qualifications to take the job.

Correct you are Utah. What really rubbed me wrong with those two schools was, whenever a Pac-12 team lost to an FCS school, it was mostly them.

Don’t count out the ACC. If FSU and Clemson leave, there’s potential for Cal & Stanford advocating for some western teams to backfill their departures. And with the Big 12 already at 16, I’m not sure those 2 remaining Pac-12 teams would add enough value to a league who’d already been watered down enough by adding a quartet of weak SOS midmajors.

Cheesesteaks. Philly. Anywhere.
Also, “Yummi Pizza” in the subway at Suburban Station (16th & JFK Blvd).
Buena Onda has the best grilled shrimp tacos I’d ever had.

Unfortunately, a “more reasonable opponent” in subsequent seasons’ tournaments will only be possible if we become a “seeded” team, and that won’t happen for as long as we’re still in the ASUN.

Back when Kliavkoff was (allegedly) negotiating the next Pac-12 media contract, the zoobs were actually bragging on cougarboard of making up fake handles on both Twitter and other Big 12 fan boards, posing as Utah fans, and triggering those Big 12 fans with classless and dismissive commentary, and encouraging other cougarboarders to do so…[Read more]

The “helicopter” commitment suggests he’s too much of a “peacock” for Utah. We need “team players”. Not “glory whores”.
Hard pass.

We’re getting crushed in recruiting in comparison to UCF. Looks like last year wasn’t an anomaly.

Looking at the current eligible playing field, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Utah get relegated to the “play-in” game (vs Sacred Heart) — with the winner going on to face the #1 team in the country: Notre Dame…..of the ACC.
We’ll beat Sacred Heart. But a 1st-Rd tournament rematch vs. defending national champion/#1-ranked Notre Dame is not ideal.

UTAH WINS!!!
16-13
Up next: The national tournament.
There’s a 100% chance we’ll enter the tournament as one of the “unseeded” teams, which means there’s probably a 90% chance we won’t make it past the 1st-Rd, but there’s also an outside chance we could finish the season ranked in the Top-20.
A win in the 1st-Rd would guarantee a ranked…[Read more]

ute3333 is correct. But that rule only applies at the field’s ends, behind the cage. In the sidelines it amounts to a turnover.

…in the 2024 ASUN Lacrosse Championship tournament, which amounts to a 1st round bye, to face the winner of the #4 (Bellarmine)/#5 (Cleveland St) game on Friday, May 3rd.
In the 3-yrs we’ve been a member of the ASUN, we’ve picked up the #1 seed 3 times. We’d won the regular season outright in both 2022 and 2023, going undefeated in both years.…[Read more]
