Bummer

The minute the athlete signs with an agent, he can no longer return with eligibility.

Pace Mannion?

Yep. And in the worst possible way. He’d signed his national letter of intent with Utah…

…and then backed out of his commitment. And not after a year in the program either. If I recall correctly, he’d changed his mind in the same month as he’d initially locked up a Utah scholarship, that could have gone to a more committed athlete.

And then there’s the Top QBs in the Big XII here…
Top QBs in the Big 12
Utah’s Rising came in at #4.
“QBU” is dead last. Haha!

Not a lot of “must see TV” for TSPP. Apart from little bro biting out ankles to make it to #2 on the list, ala the “Holy War”, they don’t register anywhere else out of the 31 games listed.

The zoobs are gonna have to put in since overtime trying to justify their insistence that they are trash that carries the “Utah” market.

What are you talking about? TSPP isn’t “liked”. They’ve been the most hated team in every conference they’d ever played in throughout my entire life. TSPP is so hated, there are teams who hate them despite having never shared a league with them.

FWIW, our sell out streak is currently at 14-yrs, 83-games.

Looks like 2 “Utah(s)” = 1 “Ohio St”.

Good for Utah St!

Go Aggies!

It’s not like that at all. There’s no way playing Ohio St…

…in the Rose Bowl…

…is akin to playing Duquesne in the Round of 64. That’s like trying to compare a mansion to a mobile home.

I don’t understand the “KGRZ” reference. What is that?

Correct you are GamrForAnyFuss! Lacrosse season is in full swing right now. We start conference play tomorrow vs Bellarmine. And while BU isn’t exactly a “blue blood” LAX program, they’d just taken down Marquette from the Big East (the 3rd best LAX league in the country, behind the ACC and the BigTen), And by a much wider point spread than what…[Read more]

Utah St (112-games) and TSPP (101-games) are our most played opponents. It’s unlikely they’ll ever be a black out game. Too much history to sport non-traditional uniforms. And especially considering they’re “in-state” programs.

Keith Van Horn and Andre Miller gotta make the list.

The language says that we won’t be bound to that 99-yr term unless we agree to any changes. So all we’d have to do is “not agree” to be bound by the 99-yr term, and *poof* we’re in the clear.

Correct you are MDUte! This one is going to require some Gold Medal Olympic level mental gymnastics to reconcile zoob nation’s adamant insistence that Utah was only invited at the insistence of Tom Holmoe/ybu-p.

And especially seeing as how desperately they’ve been trying to bury the fact that even after having played a full season in the Big…[Read more]

The zoobies had been claiming to have been in “secret negotiations” with the Pac-10 since at least my freshman year (1989) when I was attending ybU-p.

After transferring to Utah in the ’90s, the Daily Utah Chronicle used to do a week-long spread during the week leading up to the “Holy War”, which included interviews with both student bodies.…[Read more]

Utah went 10-4, 10-4, and 8-5, for a total 3-yr record of 28-13 (.683). Okla St went 12-2, 7-6, and 10-4, for a total 3-yr record of 29-12. That’s 41 games apiece.

And don’t forget the new oft repeated shibboleth that Utah is mediocre because we lost 4/4/5 games over the past 3-yrs, And would therefore be a poor pick to win the Big 12.

But if losing 13 game in 3-yrs makes us such a long shot to win the Big 12, who then should be the favorite? Oklahoma St? They’d lost 12 games over that same span. Is a…[Read more]
