I don’t disagree for basketball (men’s or women’s), but what do you do about gymnastics pulling 15k into the stadium? I haven’t been around the campus in a while, but seems like there’s more non-sports events at Kingsbury than JHC (concerts, etc.). For graduations, a smaller arena is fine as only 1/2 of the JHC is used. I would assume they’d keep practice facilities on campus and only games would be at the new arena, but they need to find other stuff to fill it up since practice would be up the hill.

\Getting to a downtown stadium (for students) is just a quick trax ride down the hill. It would compete with all the other downtown venues (Jazz, UHC, arts/music) but could continue the improvement of the area.

I’ve seen 1 on the Swift shot

Says he had a nagging neck injury recently and could have been activated for the game, but wasn’t quite there yet. He’ll get a ring

We don’t leave the state of Utah in October. What are we? SEC lol

[DataUte]

hmm, maybe like AD and now NIL type stuff? hmm

Yep, picked last. Reminds me of some coach K teams picked low and end up middle of PAC12 and all one could say was, “well, I guess they exceeded expectations but still were mediocre.”

Can’t miss the Czech stop! Get way too many kolaches!

Especially in a year with 5 Big 12 home games. I guess with home-and-home swaps, it just works out some years that we need to be away for 2 non-conference games. To have 7 home games, you generally have to be paying the other team or getting 2 patsies. But we generally have tried 1 patsy (Cal Poly), 1 G5 (Wyoming), 1 P4 (UCLA).

Team (worry 1-10, 10 being worried they blow us out)
@UCLA (6) – solid team, but it’s going to be more about if we get the offense clicking. we typically have slow starts and it is on the road to start the season. will be a REALLY good indicator of how the season will go
Cal Poly (1) – blowout, get the 2nd team in
@Wyo (2) – mostly worried about pee bombs
TT (6) – solid, but at home
@WVU (7) – long way to travel, Rich Rod is back
ASU (9) – I think Skattebo loss will hurt more than people think. Leavitt Soph slump will have them with a qb controversy
@BYU (7) – definitely worried and is at LES but I think their 2024 luck makes this a typical rivalry toss-up
CU (5) – not sure, but I feel like there will be a dropoff, OL will still not be good and defense won’t be great
Cinci (3) – I don’t know much about them, but don’t think they will be good or like to travel this far
@Baylor (4) – I don’t know if they’ll improve, but we beat them even last year
KSU (6) – could be a tough game – Avery Johnson is back and I respect his game
@KU (6) – depends, but beatable – Jalen Daniels is back and I respect his game

Wyoming is just 2 hours up the road from me, so thinking about it, but already have a conflict that I have to consider.

Might go to Baylor as my Senior is planning on moving to San Antonio to work and live with bio-family for a little bit and could be a good time to visit and see how things are going/move her back home lol.

Might drive to Kansas, but will depend on exact date and weather and it’s right around my anniversary (why was I so stupid to get married Thanksgiving weekend/during football season?!)
