Why does a former Utah kicker play such a role in the CU/CSU game.

I’m not sure I will have the same excitement watching WVU, Cincinnati, UCF.

I’ve been a huge Pac fan ever since I was a little kid. Utah getting in the Pac was a dream come true.

Big XII (16), meh!

I appreciate what Barnes has done, I’m not piling on him. However, as I was watching the game today I kept thinking about saves.

Rose Bowl (1) – Barnes scores a TD to tie it but doesn’t end up winning the game.
Rose Bowl (2) – Barnes scores a TD, however isn’t good enough to get the win.
WSU – Barnes gets the win.
Florida – Barnes started,…[Read more]

Saw a postgame review on the Gainesville Sun. One of the guys said, “Well I don’t think they learned much about SEC football tonight.” Well I disagree, now Utah sees what it’s like to play UF, Vanderbilt, etc.

This is exactly what Tennessee, LSU, and Georgia get with Florida. Those three teams are all ranked ahead of us and benefit from playing…[Read more]

Today on the show Mac Engel made a comment along the lines of, “If the BigXII had known they could get ASU, U of A, Colorado, and Utah, they probably wouldn’t have invited UH, Cincinnati, UCF and BYU.”

My first thought was yeah, take that Cougs, but then I realized had they not taken those four schools we’re looking at a completely different…[Read more]

Utah, factors in missions, however these numbers are still impressive.

So here are a few quick thoughts on what each school might be thinking.

Oregon – We are bigger than this. We deserve more money. However, we need the Pac to stay together until the Big10 comes calling. How do we leave OSU? Will there be issues?

Washington – Yes, if we can keep the Pac together we have a better road to the CFP. We deserve more $,…[Read more]

Was watching the news last night in Denver, they had a teaser about a new network covering college football. So I was hoping it was dealing with the Pac12.

Sadly it was an announcement CW network will be airing 50 ACC football games.

Bummer! Was hoping for some good news.

There are a few on there I wish had turned out better for us.

Like – James Aiono
Chris Washington – did he retire due to injuries?

The Big12 benefits by destabilizing the Pac. So have they hired a PR firm? I think the answer is yes. The more they can seed uncertainty among Pac fans, ADs, and Presidents the better for them. Problem is if cooler heads prevail, Ol’ George Bailey doesn’t lose his mind and Potter doesn’t take over the Savings and Loan.

The PAC has more value…[Read more]

If the women’s team gets a #1 seed it will be the first time for a Utah team.

Here are the men’s teams with a #1 seed and number of times since 1979.

Some of the 1990s Majerus’ teams probably deserved a #1 seed but got robbed.

That’s cold, guess some things don’t age well.

First I was at the Rose Bowl Stadium about 7 hours ago, got some Rose Bowl gear. Sadly couldn’t find the markers for Ty and Aaron. I think they may have been inside the A gate, not in the Rose Gardens outside. So didn’t get to see them. I was bummed.
So Southwest Airlines. We took the chance, after hearing last night today would be a normal day…[Read more]

Not sure if anyone is flying Southwest… If so start drinking now. Ha ha, that should say “start driving” because I’m in LA. Our flights out of Denver were cancelled. We split up, wife and kids flew to Ontario, I flew to Long Beach on Monday. Our flight home tomorrow along with almost all Southwest flights out of LAX, Ontario, Long Beach, etc are…[Read more]
