There are dozens of people at this game. Dozens!

I worked for his parents in a previous career. His dad is a really awesome guy, former NHL goaltender.

They most definitely weren’t LDS. Could have converted (or maybe Carson did on his own), but my first thought is that it’s unlikely he’s a mission kid.

We decided to drive because the flights were so insane. Plus, we’d need a car anyways and it’ll be cheaper for us to just drive.

I don’t have “official” confirmation from Ticketmaster (been trying to reach them for two days…no response), but here’s what I’ve been told by other folks who have bought through Ticketmaster before and run into this.

There are three different types of tickets: Standard Tickets, Verified Reseller Tickets, and Verified CA Resident Tickets. C…[Read more]

Got game tix for me, wife, and mom. Have decided to drive down. Flights and car rental prices are ridiculous. Will get hotel booked today.

Mom is 77 and has been taking us to Utah games since we were little. She texted this morning to say she was in tears when we got the tix because going to the Rose Bowl is one of her “bucket list” items. Th…[Read more]

My brother saw that message this morning, but I haven’t seen anything. Tickets are still showing in my Ticketmaster app, I have a confirmation email, etc. Makes me nervous about booking flights and hotel j til I confirm though.

We were lucky and got three of the $165 tickets right after the game last night. My brother logged on about 30 minutes later and every one of them was gone. The only tickets remaining were over $800.

If you’re trying to find cheap tickets, I don’t think it’s gonna happen at this point. I have no idea what resale will look like closer to the g…[Read more]

You’re right, rivalries always give motivation.

I think that rivalry motivation was likely offset by being eliminated from the CCG last night, but could be wrong on that.

Unsurprising. OSU was 1-4 on the road coming into this game (with losses to Cal and Colorado), and they have little to play for today.

So is the P12 wildly overrated so Utah’s South title is as meaningless as they claim? Or is going 5-0 against the P12 some sort of crowning achievement that makes BYU superior, as they also claim?

Its also fun to remind them that results may be somewhat different if all the P12 teams got the equivalent of a 3-week midsession bye like BYU j…[Read more]

The offense scored 35 points. That should always be enough to win a game.

That loss is on the defense.

DTR took a brutal beating in that game. Could help us next week.

Fu*k Penn State. After what happened there and the light slap on the wrist the program received as punishment, I will never root for them in a game again.

Even if they played BYU, I’d be gladly cheering for the Zoobs.

I think it’s also worth noting that this was Rising’s first full collegiate game. He played for about 5 minutes against USC before getting injured, and for a quarter against SDSU. I think he’ll get better with some experience.

As with most things BYU…

USC only up 13-7, late in the third.

Has been an underwhelming day for the P12 so far, but UCLA and AZ could change that (although I doubt either will).
