I am in 104, row 24, seat 21, pretty close!
Parked, will head over later!

Night and day.  I was at the ASU game, they beat us at our own game, with a run first offense, complimented by a rangy QB, who could run and pass.  Oregon on the other hand, no run, one deminsion, Utes win.  Got to do the same on Saturday, versus Montez and the Buffs runners.

I’m expecting a game much like 2014, close through three, with the Utes pulling away early, in the fourth. The stands will be 3/4 quarter full, at the start, but by the fourth, Utah fans will be the loud.

Shop around, particularly on Vivid Seats (Vivid Seats $17). There will be plenty of seats.

Does anyone know how a “crystal ball” trend is set or changes over them. Subjective ranking by a group of experts? Empirical numbers such as tweets by the recruit?

I change my mind –  Utah should be ranked – say around 24th in the Coach’s Poll!  Ha!  Congrats -Go Utes!

Pretty good fifteen seconds of fame.  He will probably have a few more, but celebrate while can!

Agreed.  Not this week.  Will need another good win at UCLA.  To bad for USU, even with their good win over Wyoming.

Maybe not, if Jack Tuttle is gone from the sideline. Hoping the Utes end up keeping one or gaining the other!

Good conversation. What about a USU -v- Utah Las Vegas Bowl to settle who is tops in the state?

Reminds me of 2016. I expect wins over the Arizona teams, UCLA & USC. Colorado and Oregon? And Utah demolishes BYU. Utah goes 5 and 2, and ends up in the Las Vegas Bowl or Sun Bowl.

Five who might leave for Utah (Better coaches however?)

Luke Fickell – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Fickell (Defensive Minded, however coached under Tressel and Meyer $1.9m)
Bryan Harsin – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Harsin (Former QB, 45-13 record, 3-1 Bowls – $1.5m)
Bush Hamdan – https://gohuskies.com/staff.aspx?staff=324…[Read more]

Agreed – Working with mostly Colorado Buff graduates (engineers). They are not drinking the Kool-Aid. However they (at least the ones I work with) would rather have a great year every three or four years, putting up with bad years, rather than the perennial “middle of the pack” mindset of the Utes.

The answer? My point with adding Stanford into my blog, was I had thought Utah was attempting to emulate Stanford. But after Saturday; not so sure. The Ute’s would be happy to have Stanford’s success, but how to we get there, and then what.

What is the Ute identity? – no clue.

Agreed Sweetgrass- but perhaps a more balance philosophy for the Utes, promised in the past, but not delivered.

But for my part, Whittingham’s teams was, and are, not prepared for those last drives, like we saw last Saturday. And I have sweated out too many games, with the Ute’s “prevent defense”, when offensive minded teams head down the…[Read more]
