With or without Florida St, Clemson, and Miami, short of a BigTen invite, I would have much preferred the ACC. And especially if we could have taken Colorado and Arizona St with us. If those aforementioned hopeful defectors were to stay, all the better.

That said, since we’re already here, unrestrained by any exit penalties, I think we might be…[Read more]

As a former student at ybu-p, I’d personally witnessed a ton of “superiority” comments from the student body. Here are a few.

1. “BYU is the Harvard of the West.”

2. “The only reason why people go to Utah, is because they were rejected by BYU.”. They also claim that’s why Utah fans hate ybu-p.

3. “Utah professors are anti-Mormon.”

4.…[Read more]

Ordinarily, so would I. But seeing as how Arizona has had an extra week to prepare, I’m not expecting this week won’t come without an extra layer of complexity.

The OSU/UA 2-game stretch has all along been widely deemed our most difficult stretch of the season.

Still looks that way.

GO UTES!!!

It was MISERABLE….. for the 1st-Half. However, there was a cool breeze periodically wafting through the stadium after the 2nd-Half started. So that wasn’t so bad.

If someone isn’t healthy enough to play, they shouldn’t play. So if Rising can’t grip the ball, and we have a greater chance of victory by starting the true freshman, then so with the freshman. I don’t have much problem with that. My issue is seeing all these strong hints that Rising will play, only to find out that on game day, he’ll be a…[Read more]

Away games are tougher, and especially when…

(1) We’re playing our 2nd (or 3rd) consecutive game(s) on the road
(2) We’re facing a ranked team

In 4 days, we’ll get both. We’re gonna need to play our best game. Mike Gundy had already flat out stated they’re taking this one very seriously. They are respecting their opponent. I hope we will…[Read more]

The point is, there’s no evidence that TSPP has “a much larger fan base” than Utah as you’d suggested.

There is some evidence to the contrary though.

“…but the fact the LDS religion is world wide gives them a much larger fan base.”

Actually, the fact is, they don’t. There’ve been some common misconceptions that’s been perpetuated by TSPP:

(1) That “LDS” = “ybu-p fan”
(2) That “worldwide religion” = “worldwide fan base”

The last estimated “fan” count listed the Big 12’s fan base as…[Read more]

Caliman?

ESPN’s “matchup predictor” still favors Oklahoma St though, 60.2% to 39.8%.

Also wrecks their oft repeated claims that “nobody had even heard of Utah”.

That really does sum it all up.

I didn’t find it very hard at all to celebrate UNLV’s takedown of Kansas. I can’t stand the Jayhawks. Go Rebels!

It’s “LOL” because TSPP abandoned the MWC because they thought they were too good for it, and their member schools. And now those very MWC schools who TSPP was too good for, are actually joining the very conference zoob nation had spent the entire ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s boasting about leaving the WAC/MWC for. It’s “LOL” because it was SDSU, FSU,…[Read more]

Right? Their arrogance is equally astounding. That article made no mention of the tdS, yet their only takeaway was how much the Pac-12 wanted them!

Here’s the link…

Boise State among 4 schools joining Pac-12 for 2026-27 season

And here’s the [cougarboard] takeaway…

BYU is wanted

LOL!

confidence = good

delusions of grandeur = bad

We don’t have the best backfield in the country. We don’t even have the best backfield in the conference. Our Offensive backfield is below the typical standard for Utah football.

Step 1. Own it!

Step 2. Get better!

Sec. 237.

See ya there!

I’m not saying it’s a “myth”. What I’m saying is, Utah annually squanders the opportunity for a tune up game, by playing an opponent so weak, it’s not a true “tune up”. Because the competition won’t inspire our athletes to become truly dialed in to the task at hand, nor will they be able to give us any glimpses of deficiencies that we’d rather…[Read more]

Utah rarely plays well after facing an FCS opponent. We always beat up on those grossly overmatched teams, and enter the next game believing we can do that to anyone. But we can’t. And that’s one of the primary reasons why I would like to see us stop playing them — scheduling instead a MWC team in a region we heavily recruit — or at the very…[Read more]
