The Miami Ute

I understand where you’re coming from. I feel the same way about being in the Big 12. However, I don’t feel that Utah has the right to demand anything until they prove it on the field. I could understand it if Utah had multiple CFP appearances or the highest viewership in the Big 12, but we don’t. I mean, TCU was just in the NCG a year ago…[Read more]

I think the issue there is Utah’s partnership with Under Armour. Under Armour’s products have, in my view, kind of gone down in quality. Maybe Utah needs to revisit that and ponder a move to Adidas or back to Nike?

All-Pac-12 First Team selection in his only season with Utah. That should tell you all you need to know.

Probably my favorite out of all those guys is Justin Bibbins. Even though he only played one season with Utah, he had a significant impact. I loved his will to win…kid had the heart of a lion.

MDUte beat you to this post by a few minutes.

Good post. Interesting to hear what other fanbases have to say about Utah.

Hmmm, all I can tell you is that I’ve been to Disney World multiple times in my life during the T-Giving period…the last time a couple of years ago. I would ask where are all of these massive crowds going to come from since in Florida and nearby locations, schoolkids only get Thanksgiving and Friday off, not the whole T-Giving week like some…[Read more]

I’m not calling that assessment into question but I base my comments on actually living in Florida and going to the park during the times mentioned. I also spent the last week of last year in LA and was told to expect “massive crowds” at Disneyland and California Adventure. Sure,, there were a lot of people there but nothing like the “downtown…[Read more]

This is old news. The Utah administration said “thanks, but no thanks” to him a while ago. No way, no how, that the university leadership wanted part of this guy after the deaths of Lauren McCluskey, Ty Jordan, and Aaron Lowe the last few years. Remember that Bridges is a guy that threatened to kill someone with a firearm while conducting an…[Read more]

Utah State hired Danny Sprinkle from Montana State. So no, they didn’t promote from within.

I was about to say that and commented on this issue on Canzano’s blog. If Fifita and McMillan wanted to leave Arizona for Washington, they’ve had ample opportunity to do so already. Sometimes we don’t take into consideration the fact that maybe some players like and are very comfortable where they’re going to school and instantly assume that…[Read more]

Out QB is a senior with teenaged grandkids…

The only away game that was a reasonably close contest was against Stanford. Every other away game has been a blowout loss. That, to me, is a significant issue.

Disney is not packed during Thanksgiving…trust me, I’ve been there more than once.

A little bit off-topic but, actually, that’s probably one of the best times of the year to go to Disney. And I say that as a guy that for years lived 45 minutes away from WDW. Most people don’t see T-Giving as a time to go to the parks so you’re only dealing with locals, foreigners, and the occasional out of towner. Also, by that time of the…[Read more]

I didn’t get the last part. Did you mean that the KSU and Zona games don’t count towards the conference record?

Just a quick question…the Baylor game is not considered a conference game, correct?

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Smith is fired and Burgess is hired as the next head coach. I read a story on how he ended up at Utah and there’s no doubt that he wants to run his own show eventually.

That’s the point Ted…they play really well at home, but crap the bed away. It’s like they’re a bipolar team. Without the away/neutral victories versus Saint Mary’s and Wake Forest, they would be lucky to be considered an NIT team at this point.
