  • Oh, I read it. I said what I said because I’ve heard Utah fans say the same thing. I happen to disagree. In any case, no hard feelings. On CB I am called out for being a closet ‘yewt’ for saying positive things about your team. If you guys do get called up and us lowly zoobs get demoted, or the church decides to drop football, I will admit…[Read more]

    Thank you for that reasonable reply. I know better than to get into a pissing match over something as meaningless as sports. As Jerry Seinfeld once said, in reality we are just cheering for laundry. switch out all the byu players for utah players, and you are still rooting for yiur teams uniforms.

    And there are a few great Utah fans on CB…[Read more]

    Didn’t you see my post above? I left the church 20 years ago. Don’t believe in ANY of the truth claims of mormonismn. I did serve a mission to Illinois from 89 to 91.

    Do some church history sometime. I would recommend starting right on the main LDS website and their essays.

    Goodnight Teddy.

    The superleagues will NEVER happen. If people want to watch minor league pro football (which they won’t), they would watch the USFL/UFL.

    Just like knowbody watches the nba g league, even though the talent is better than the top level of college basketball.

    If my team is left out, I will watch whatever level of cfb we are in. I won’t watch…[Read more]

    Utah is on par with Iowa in fb, if that. You are not a fucking powerhouse, lol.

  • Matt replied to the topic Utes to the BIG or SEC in the forum They So Poo Poo 6 months ago

    A powerhouse, lol. Guess 5 loss seasons are the new bar for powerhouse. You guys got your asses handed to you by the cfb powerhouse, Northwestern, who fired their coach mid season.

    Look, I admit the BYU football program is in the sewer as long as Sitake is our head coach. But the big 12 is a vert good conference in football. Which you will…[Read more]

    I’m actually pumped for our basketball program. Last year was the most entertainment I’ve had about our basketball program since the MWC Jimmer years.

    Actually though, I used to enjoy basketball back in the WAC years. Those UTEP/N MEXICO road swings were always tough, and the conference was solid, with byu, Utah, utep, wyoming, et al being…[Read more]

    Oh, and one more thing.. Kalani is a terrible football coach who should have been let go before 2020. He should praise Kyle, because his few years as a puppet DC for utah is the only thing that made him a head coaching candidate.

    Jay Hill should be the head coach. I thank Utah for developing him as a coach. I wouldn’t want kalani coaching my…[Read more]

    You don’t think I know who Neuheisal is? I’m going to be 54 when football season starts in late August. I’ve seen every football season since 1976. Watched byu and utah football through all those years. In fact, I used to support Utah football when not playing BYU. I personally know two former Ute stars from Springvulle, where I grew up…[Read more]

  • Matt replied to the topic Utes to the BIG or SEC in the forum They So Poo Poo 6 months ago

    Admittedly I am a zoob (long-time BYU fan), but you guys are nuts if you think Utah would ever be invited to the SEC. That is just crazy talk. The Big 10 is a pipe dream too. You guys went from being a terrible football program in the 70s and 80s, to respectable under McBride and then elevated by Urban Meyer.

    Kyle has taken them to another…[Read more]

  • Scott went to Springville, not Spanish Fork. I was a sophomore at SHS when Scott was a senior.

    I didn’t even think about how I phrased it with Mens/Girls. I’m 53 so to me these young ladies aren’t women yet. Just girls. Being a BYU fan, most of our players are older so I put them into the men category.

  • Matt replied to the topic Big 12 television in the forum Other Ute Sports 10 months ago

    As a zoob fan (yes, I can call byu that since I’ve called us that since the early 80s)I love espn+. You’ll get 1 FB game on ESPN+ is all and that will be SUU. The rest will be on ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, Fox, FS1.

    So I guess you could put off getting it until basketball season. However, if you like the minor sports like girls volleyball, Soccer, Mens…[Read more]

  • LES is actually a very nice stadium. This last season they got a new head groundskeeper and the quality of the playing surface was the worst I’ve seen it. Usually the natural grass field is one of the best looking in the country. I’ve never like the disconnected stands, but it is what it is. My family had season tickets in the SE endzone about…[Read more]

  • Matt replied to the topic New Big 12 is Terrible in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

    You know nothing about how good the Big 12 is after one week. I’ve seen Power 5 teams lose to 1 AA (FCS, but I refuse to call it that. I’m old school) and go on to win the conference. Washington lost to Montana a couple of years ago. Pac teams have lost to Portland St, Sacramento St, and others over the years.

    I didn’t watch Baylor, but some…[Read more]

  • The Utah crowd got really quiet when the Utes were on offense. Second half was really quiet when the game was in the bag. Hell of a first half though.

  • I have my surround sound on and it sounds loud to me. Especially the first half where there was something to cheer about. Fowler and Herbstreit are at the stadium. For big games like this, they are always on site. During Covid it was ridiculous and you could totally tell they were in an ESPN studio in Connecticut. It is especially obvious…[Read more]

  • Matt replied to the topic Those white shoes in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

    I think white cleats look so much nicer and cleaner than black cleats. Only teams that should be wearing black cleats are Penn State, Michigan, USC, and Notre Dame. Teams in the NFL that wear black make the uniforms sloppy. White has come back into style. In my high school days in the mid to late 80s, ever high school, college, and NFL team…[Read more]

  • You guys have a defense that I am envious of. So aggressive and balls to the walls. Even when you got burned deep you guys sent the house and damn near sacked Williams. Then ended up stopping them anyway You have one of the top 5 coaches in CFB.

    It makes me wonder how Kalani didn’t learn a thing under the tutelage of Kyle Whittingham for 10…[Read more]
