The Miami Ute

I’m not trying to call you out specifically or with any animosity. I have no problem with comments about officiating. I’ve already said above that every call is subjective. It’s just the wording you used that takes it from “making a call I don’t agree with” to a deliberate attempt to affect an outcome.

Notre Dame’s not a blue blood? Penn State? I think you’ve lost the narrative and are just arguing for the sake of arguing.

Honest question(s): If the Big 12 was such a great conference, why did your Longhorns try to get out of it for around 2 decades? Why did Missouri, Colorado, A&M, Oklahoma, Nebraska and your team willingly leave the schools that are still there?

I hear a lot about how bad Oregon State and Washington State are but how are they different than Tech,…[Read more]

just to be clear: you believe that official made a premeditated decision to throw a flag against Utah on that play to give the parochial school a chance to save their undefeated season?

Because that’s what this fragment means: was a case of an official deciding he was more important than the players

I cringe when people want to bring the refs into the conversation. The reality is that every call is subjective. And even though there are a lot of people on the field calling a game, they can’t see everything from your frame of reference.

Vaughn held. The parochial school defender went high on Rose. Were either egregious? No. Were they…[Read more]

You’re on fire this morning Tony.

I need to request the ability to upvote more than once for a limited time. You’ve had a couple that deserve OnlyU level approval

Robo is correct. Online is just the latest and most efficient delivery system for the superiority complex.

My first real interaction with BYU fan complex was after the 1988 game. In my mind, the rivalry was no different than the Apple Cup I’d grown up with. But as I found out the next day when my girlfriend dragged me to her church, I wasn’t…[Read more]

Anyone that puts “Yewts” is an automatic ban. Just like when people disparage religious practice on here.

But I just block them anyways. It isn’t that hard to block. I only wish my blocks matched with my app. Just a first world problem doing both.

Thank you. Now that I know that everything I believed was wrong, I’ll be able to act and think in the manner you find most appropriate. Which fanbase is next on your quest for perfection?

The fine is ultimately against the University, since that is who has a relationship with the Big 12 conference. Harlan is just acting as the University representative. If Utah felt his comments were a fireable offense and got rid of him, the University would still be on the hook for the fine.

Saying that he personally is being fined is out of…[Read more]

You never know…Utah splitting from the Big XII might provide impetus for other name schools to return to a regionally based conference.

That’s what I would hope my 12 team idea on the other thread would accomplish. These 14, 16, 18 team conferences aren’t sustainable when they don’t have similar geography and rarely play each other. One s…[Read more]

My personal rule when on another team’s board is that I’m there to talk about their school and will discuss my team only in whatever context they bring up. Just the way I was brought up: never go somewhere empty handed, always thank your host, and don’t pee on someone else’s rug.

The problem with trolls is that banning them only gives them what they want, which is to run back to their favourite board and talk about how petty UteHub and it’s posters are. Bullies win whether you react or ignore, at least until you punch them in the nose.

Tony, you’ve been more than fair with everyone who has wanted to post here. You let…[Read more]

Well, Utah did make sure they didn’t sign the 100 year blood oath or whatever was required of all the other schools upon entering. Probably doesn’t stop them from paying the fine but neither side is endearing themself to the other.

Arizona State, Colorado, parochial school.,, 3 schools not much was expected of who are pretty much in control of the conference race at this point. Give credit where it’s due because not many outside of their own fanbases would have predicted it with a straight face

Utah has some OC money burning a hole in it’s pocket also

you do understand that coming to this board to tell Utah fans that you don’t care what they think of your team is not only disingenuous but bordering on pathetic?

bang?

urinalists aren’t any smarter than the rest of us, especially the sports versions.

Assuming Whitt comes back, all anyone will see is:

1. the usual great D played in 2024 with most of the starters returning. It still boggles my mind that with as bad as the O has been this year, if Utah had scored exactly 25 points in every game they’d be 8-1 and…[Read more]
