another bites the dust…Miami pulls out of the Sun Bowl.  
Jeeze, please put the Utes and Buckeyes in a bubble so they can play.  It would be such a Utah sport’s fan experience to finally make it to the Rose Bowl and not play.

I don’t know about the rest of you all but for me that was better than winning the Sugar Bowl! LOVE this team, LOVE Utah football.

Kyle has been very fortunate over the years to have top level kickers and punters fall into his lap and perform.  However, Utah is one of the few P5 programs that does not actively recruit kickers and punters and offer them scholarships out of high school. This may come back to haunt the Utes some day.
That being said…that punt block on…[Read more]

Taj Harris – Syracuse WR tweeted today that he has an offer from Utah.
I am sure he has a lot of offers.

We have a stacked QB room.  Will it finally pay off?

Picking up the kids from school, hitting 680 South to Santa Clara.  Looking forward to a win on a rainy night.  Go Utes!

Another couple tough late season games for SEC “blue bloods”
Alabama vs. Western Carolina and Auburn vs. Samford

I have not seen it mentioned here but Walt Misaka died.  If you don’t know who he is, look it up.  GREAT Ute!
I hope they have plans to recognize him at the upcoming football and basketball games.

So much debate on here about our chances for the CFP.  Just think though…win out and we are at least in the Rose Bowl.  The FREAKING ROSE BOWL!!! For old time Ute fans that is just inconceivable.
 

I told my wife that this is the biggest game in 10 years.  She said I say that every weekend.  Well…this is the biggest game in 10 years as our Rose Bowl and CFP possibilities are on the line.  Go Utes!

Watching PAC12 60 in 60…after Fields’ cheap shot targeting of Moss, it looks like Whitt comes out on the field to confront Fields.  Great seeing the whole team going after him.

Really enjoyed this read as kickoff approaches.

Recommend listening to the interview with Troy Williams on 1280.  Class act! Hope he finds success in Canada.

Do you realize that our first game next year is against BYU in Provo.  Ugh!!!

Just when you think you have seen it all in this rivalry this happens…THIS team and Shelley fight back.  Can’t wait to see them from the stands at Levi Stadium on Friday.  Go Utes.
