The Miami Ute

Do you really think that both Florida and UCLA are above Oklahoma State’s level? Florida’s record the last three seasons is 17-21. UCLA’s record is 25-13. The Cowboys have been 29-12 the last three seasons.

He respects the program. He doesn’t like it. Those are two different things. Just like I respect USC for all of their talent and what they’ve historically accomplished but, at the same time, I despise them with every fiber in my being and hope that they never win another game.

You might disagree with my view but I’ve been watching Toll’s…[Read more]

Here’s Texas Tech. They’re the only school I looked at:

FOOTBALL TICKETS

That might be the case, but are we really a “Big 12” school? I would submit that we’re a PAC school just having a cup of coffee in the Big 12. We’re using them and they’re using us. It’s a loveless marriage explicitly based on the current state of college football.

Well, all I can say is enjoy the ride and the relatively low cost of today’s ticket prices. If Utah ever gets into the top-tier CFB Super Conference, get prepared to pay NFL prices for tickets. I can see prices at that time easily doubling or tripling. And you know what, people will still come and the stadium will still sell out.

Exactly…I go to the Adidas website and see what they offer for Miami fans and there’s no comparison regarding quality and style. Right now, Under Armour is the equivalent of shopping at Walmart for clothes.

That’s probably a function of who we had available for most of last season. It sure didn’t look that way in 2021 and 2022.

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]
