For the first time in 21 years, I sold my season tickets this week.

I had to scramble for a new job a few weeks ago after my company got DOGE’d and ended up having to take about a 50% pay cut. Simply couldn’t afford it this year so we had to give them up.

Not too torn up about it though, as the kid’s have so many activities now that it was b…[Read more]

Can UteZone actually watch practices again?

Uhhhh…not really. Vaki proves his point. Look at Vaki’s numbers:

Game 1: 158 yards rushing, -5 yards receiving.
Game 2: 68 yards rushing, 149 yards receiving.
Game 3: 11 yards rushing, 0 receiving.
Game 4: -4 yards rushing, 67 yards receiving.
Game 5: 10 yards rushing, -8 yards receiving.
Game 6: 68 yards rushing, 0 receiving.

Vaki was…[Read more]

It’s not really Harlan or Taylor’s fault, as the price increase isn’t really that much of a factor to me. Yes, the tickets are more expensive, but what isn’t these days?

While all the conference realignment and NIL nonsense has certainly diminished my interest in college sports in general, the biggest contributing factor towards not renewing is…[Read more]

Mine went up 43% last year. Cancelled my 4 seats after 19 years. No regrets. Ended up going to the two games I could actually attend, that I wanted to attend, with who I could bring with me with secondary market tickets. I bought three total tickets. Which means if I renewed, I would’ve been trying to sell or begging people to use 21 tickets. No t…[Read more]

One of the primary reasons Musk bought Twitter is exactly so he could turn it into the white supremacist garbage heap it has now become. It was a strategic bet for him to get exactly where he is right now. He can’t be President so he’s doing the next best thing, which is strongly influencing where federal money will be spent (hint: it will go…[Read more]

“TDS is a hell of a drug. They are going to get a major fix for the next 4 years.”

This one is always hilarious to me.

– Trump: Says or does something stupid.
– Most people: “Wow, that was really stupid”
– MAGA: “TDS! TDS! YOU HAVE TDS! TDS!!!!”

I would think it’s must be exhausting to have to twist yourselves into knots to defend…[Read more]

Of course they have. They’re taking over everything else, why not college football?

Anything he may have lost on Twitter is pennies compared to what he now stands to make from the government. Which is why he did what he did, imo.

If DOGE goes as I expect, any government function that might be able to turn a profit will be farmed out to him and his corporate friends to do exactly that. He can simply pick and choose what pieces…[Read more]

“brainwashed by media”

You do know we can read the exact words that Elon posts from his personal account on the platform that he owns, right? There’s no media filter involved in that exercise whatsoever.

Well, all the literal Nazis thought he did a Nazi salute, so…

Dude was raised in apartheid, and watching his constant “help, help…white people are being oppressed” posts on his own platform over the years certainly makes one wonder if he still has some sympathies there. Ultimately, I doubt Elon cares about anything except getting attenti…[Read more]

Looking at Utah’s schedule, here is where I have them:

For sure wins:
Cal Poly
Wyoming

For sure losses:
No one.

The rest: Look at the rest of the games. I could see Baylor, BYU, Kansas St, ASU, Kansas, Tech, Cincinnati, and WVU all blowing us out if we play like we did last year. That is 8 losses.

But if we get back to having a decent QB,…[Read more]

Ugh. College Football really just sucks now. Look, ASU and BYU were both 10 win teams, they both bring back their QB’s, they get slotted up high again. I get it.

But how do you slot anyone else? Hell, look at Utah: we brought in 2 transfers, kept Wilson and have 2 HS QB’s coming in. There is a really, really good chance that three of those 5 are…[Read more]

This is tough. College sports have screwed themselves.

You don’t have to win. But you do have to be competitive.

I think to make the Huntsman crazy again, you have to be a NCAA tournament team.

You don’t have to be #1. You should at least be #64.

If that’s the case, Whitt needs to be gone yesterday.

Utah is a good enough program they should be shooting for 10 wins every year. This isn’t the PAC-12. Utah might not make 10 wins a year, but that should be the goal.

Anything less than that means the program is slipping and big changes are needed.

Man, I don’t think it would be that hard to fill 3-4 hours of time. Between Utah football, Big 12 football, Big 12 basketball, Utah Jazz and whatever the fuck your hockey team is, there is so much.

4 hours = 60 min blocks.
Each block has about 20 mins of commercials, which means 40 mins of talk time. You are talking for 10 mins, 5 min break.…[Read more]

I’m gonna be devil’s advocate here.

Outside of basketball and football, Utah sports are doing great. Our women’s sports are all top 25, skiing is elite, etc. Outside of the two major sports, he is doing great. Let’s look at football and basketball:

1 – Football. This is not Harlan’s anything. Football is 100% on Whitt. We’ve paid him. We’ve…[Read more]

I don’t think so. The better teams won. Boise St and ASU should not have been given a bye. But Ohio St is better than Oregon and Oregon only beat OSU on a technicality that they already fixed. And Georgia had a backup QB in…which is a huge fuck you to FSU. lol.

Georgia wasn’t a top 4 team with that QB either.

What this will do is they will…[Read more]

It’s the church thing. Mormons think BYU is Jesus’s church and that by having BYU, they will take over the world someday with their propaganda.

Some Utah fans are mormons. So they are stuck in this weird place where on Sunday they are told to that BYU is for Mormon Jesus and Mormon Jesus it the best and you have to do everything you can to…[Read more]

If ESPN wants a certain player to play, then ESPN should pay for the insurance.
