It doesn’t matter if the foul was inconsequential. What matters is that it happened. It was the right call. The problem on that play wasn’t the refs. It was Mokofisi. Hopefully he learns from it.

If ‘Bama wins, there’s a chance Utah can move up in the polls. If Texas wins, we won’t.

And we’re going to need Oregon to beat Texas Tech by no more than 7-pts, or they’ll definitely leapfrog us.

I have a much higher opinion of Travis Wilson than that. I think he was on of the best QBs to have ever suited up at Utah. No, he wasn’t as good as Mitchell, Smith, Johnson, Huntley, or Rising, but Wilson would have had the “QB coaches” those other guys had, rather than getting saddled with ARod, he would most likely have been drafted. He had…[Read more]

Correct you are EagleMountainUte. Utah didn’t finish Thursday night’s game well. We won, but we let UF back into the game late in the 4th. Baylor might be looking to prove something next weekend, but I think Utah will be liking to prove something too. We will definitely NOT be looking ahead to the Weber St game.

With only the Ore St-SJSU game to go, the Pac-12 has already gone 12-0 in games during Wk-0/Wk-1. We’re the only conference to have gone undefeated thus far, and it’s not like we’d been playing a weak SOS SEC early season schedule.

I can’t remember Utah ever playing in a conference with this kind of season opener!

Plus they only have to play 8 conference games instead of 9. That provides for more room on your schedule to play an FCS team AND a bunch of additional matchups vs the MAC, Sun Belt, and C-USA.

I’ll be there.

Well…all RED, plus those unnecessarily busy (re: tacky) BLACK sleeves anyway.

I was really hoping we were going to finally retire those mismatched sleeves, and go with that style we’d been supporting in those 2 Rose Bowl appearances, with the occasional mix of our Blackout unis, and those awesome RED/GRAY ’60s throwbacks we’d worn vs UCLA back in 2019.

I don’t know about the fans in SEC country, but nobody in BigTen or ACC country thinks of Utah as a “WAC” school. Utah has earned a lot of respect in BigTen country by hammering Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, and going 3-1 vs Michigan since 2002. When I’d attended the Ore St @ Penn St game back in Sept 2008, there were a ton of PSU fans talking…[Read more]

If an American flies to China, then flies back to America, does that make him a Chinese-American?

They’re doing more than that. They’d started a thread on Reddit by summarizing in THEIR own words what Whittingham said and/or meant, and [accurately] banking on Big 12 fans not actually listening to what Whittingham said. This way, they can rile up Big 12 fans by telling them Utah wants out of the Big 12, and thinks we’re going to the…[Read more]

I’m wondering if now that ybU-p will be a conference opponent, will they have to buy out the return game they owed us from the 2020 Covid season, that Harlan pushed down the road so as to not disrupt the current series. Utah played in Provostan in 2019, and again in 2021. That’s back-to-back roadies with no return game.

I’d posted this before, but last Winter/Spring, there were a bevy of zoobies on cougarboard bragging about creating fake Utah Twitter handle accounts to rile up Big 12 fans, to make Utah fans look bad. They used the very real Ute fan Pig Bus as their inspiration, but basically echoed his commentary in an attempt to make it look there wasn’t…[Read more]

Utah could go undefeated, but one of those wins could be over a team with a losing record, whereby we’d only won by a FG, and zoob nation would call it a “flop”. And I know this to be true. We’d already seen it in 2008.

On the flip side, the tdS could eke out 6 wins, and back into the worst bowl in the conference, and they’d call that season a…[Read more]

We won the war. It was 80-yrs ago. No need to spike the ball now.

Barnes has scholarship.

“For Barnes, it’s his collegiate start. He was a walk-on in 2020 before earning a scholarship.“

You got banned for THAT???

What a bunch of snowflakes.

UW and UO “wanted” unequal revenue shares, but they knew they weren’t going to get it, because if the 4 corners schools didn’t get an equal share, they’d leave for the Big 12, and the Pac-12’s subsequent media deal — if it survived the losses of 4 more schools — would be worth less than what the Huskies and Ducks would have received under an…[Read more]

I think you might be giving Yormark more credit than he’s due. He did jump the line to secure the Big 12’s future, but I believe he’d done so because he knew that TT, TCU, BU, OSU, and UH had all applied to join the Pac-12, and he wanted to lock them into the Big 12 so they couldn’t leave. And with USC vetoing those Big 12 teams’ candidacy, it…[Read more]

It wasn’t the Pac-12 leadership who’d mixed the idea of adding TCU and Houston. For starters, it wasn’t just those two schools. Tx Tech, Bylr, and Okla St were also being considered. Some Pac-12 presidents/chancellors were in favor, while others were indifferent one way out the other. What prevented the expansion with Big 12 teams was USC, and…[Read more]
