The Miami Ute

Should we be worried? I think so…other than the current four-game winning streak that Utah is on versus ASU, the Sun Devils have historically owned the Utes in football, both home and away. I mean, I remember when I used to hate them almost as much as USC. They’re also looking at Utah from the moral high ground after that 55-3 pasting we gave…[Read more]

Eagle, it wouldn’t surprise me if it comes down to that. They’re just a middle-man at this point. You’d think all of the bluebloods would get together and cut them completely out of the picture. I can’t see what the NCAA could do about it.

Without a healthy Cam running the offense, well, you’re not wrong. And another thing, if such an event comes to pass, I predict that the Utes’ contingent of traveling fans will be severely diminished. I was talking to a few people at the Las Vegas Bowl last year and there was some sincere heartburn about the cost of traveling, even to a nearby…[Read more]

You’re on it Rick…my actual season tickets are not restricted view but I had restricted view seats for this game since the Bhawks are not part of my package. My biggest peeve is that I could never see the clock for the time remaining in penalties. That drove me crazy during the game. I can also say that while a restricted view might be fine…[Read more]

Thanks Sal, I appreciate your comments. At the very least, it’ll give me the opportunity to get close to the great man himself.

This, I guess:

Are you in Saint George?

Jim, even though Ryan Smith is a BYU guy, the SEG does things right. Last night, every seat in the arena had a rally scarf and a commemorative t-shirt draped over it (free of charge) and, after the game, every fan got a commemorative hockey puck. I bought 12 game season ticket pack, primarily to watch East Coast teams, but I’ll definitely root…[Read more]

I was there! Great atmosphere. You can’t beat hockey if you like constant action. Once the area gets refurbished, it’ll be a great place to watch the Clubbers.

Sounds more like common sense to me.

Rocky Long was New Mexico’s version of Whitt. Not only did he have pretty good success with the Lobos, but he also took San Diego State to a bowl in all nine seasons he was the coach there. Interestingly enough, The Lobos did the same thing in 2005 when they visited RES, so I’m not certain if New Mexico was Whitt’s kryptonite.

Whatever gets you the most money, Tony. I personally would support a method that allows me to pay via credit card, since that’s how I track all of my expenses.

That was JoePa’s blind spot…he definitely stayed well beyond his expiration date. Can you believe that JoePa was a month shy of being 85 when he coached his last game at Penn State? I mean, who does that?

I’m looking at this game as this year’s version of the game versus Oregon. If you’ll remember, Utah went into that game fresh off the victory versus USC, nationally ranked and fully hyped, but got dismantled at RES and finished the season on a 3-4 streak.

I just have this fear that opposing defenses have seen enough of Isaac to know what works…[Read more]

Brother, I feel you…I fully retired five years ago a couple of months shy of 54 and it was the best decision I ever made. Of course, I didn’t get married until I was 41 and was able to work my ass off and invest a significant amount of my yearly salary until then to make that happen. You can’t imagine how much better your health gets when you…[Read more]

I couldn’t agree more and said so as soon as we started on this rollercoaster after the Baylor game. If Whitt has the inclination to keep coaching the U…[Read more]

Bullshit brother. It’s obvious to me that you haven’t seen other top teams in this conference play this season. Even with a healthy Rising, Utah would have to play lights out to beat teams like Iowa State and BYU…

I would agree with you if we were talking about Isaac. However, we’re talking about Methuselah Rising. I think he’s been around the block enough to know what to expect and prepare himself for the competition. To me, if he’s healthy enough to play, he’s playing.
