How can Utah build a program like this but CU can’t?
Some funny stuff in the replies.

With the BCS the Rose Bowl became slightly less important but still the premier Bowl game.
With the CFP the Rose Bowl became a little less important in the grand scheme of things.
Once the CFP expands to 8 or 12 teams the Rose Bowl will lose almost all semblance of being the Granddaddy of them all. They’ll probably still have the Rose Parade,…[Read more]

Ranking 2021 college football bowl games, 42-1: Orange, Rose, Gator among major highlights (cbssports.com)
 

So I just looked at the recommendations from the Wisconsin folks in the link a few posts down.
This may be a great option if you want to look at renting an RV and parking it in the Rose Bowl…[Read more]

A quick search it looks like only two, correction three, of the Pac12 games are on ESPN. But CBS, ABC, and Fox seem to have all the games except for the Rose Bowl and two others. I’ll be at the Rose Bowl (Pinch me!) The other game is the game with no coaches between OU and UO. As sexy as that game looks on paper, I don’t think it really shows…[Read more]

My buddy asked me during the middle of the 3rd quarter if I thought this was Utah’s best team ever? 
 I’d have to say probably not. But, they certainly have accomplished much the other teams could not. But then again, unlike Cincinnati we did not have another team break the mold for us. Utah was the moldbreaker, and opened the way for BSU,…[Read more]

1st of all not everything in my chaos scenario happened but some chaos I didn’t mention did happen.
1. Congratulations to USU which curb-stomped SDSU yesterday. Anybody see that happening?
2. Way to go Baylor, another “upset” in a Championship game.
3. Congrats to Cincinnati, nice win yesterday. I saw on ESPN’s main page with a picture of a…[Read more]

I’m calling in a lot of favors for this Rose Bowl trip.
It is my wife’s gift to me for our Anniversary, Christmas and Birthday, all in December. 
I’m usually pretty frugal, but am good spending $$$ on experiences instead of things.
We’re driving out from Colorado, with our two kids still at home. Wish I could afford to bring my married daughter…[Read more]

So Arizona and Colorado will be the only two Pac12 teams to never play in the Rose Bowl.
When searching for this information I came up with this gem. The link below is from 2017. LOL That didn’t age well.

They did an interest piece on Tim Patrick and then interviewed Garrett Bolles.
GO UTES!!!!!!!!

Just bought 4 $165 tickets for $250 each pluse fees. Let’s sell out the Rose Bowl by tomorrow afternoon!!!!! Make it a home game!!!!!!!

Only 47 minutes to go.
Asher’s Idol is up 353-316.
Need a few more votes.

Meeting Zack Moss Final Round

Here is what I’d love to see this weekend.
Scenario #1 Utah wins.  I’d be happy with this and not wish for chaos but still would love to see it.
But the following scenario would still be interesting especially for Baylor/Oregon.
Scenario #2
Oregon wins (again I don’t want to see this)
Baylor beats OK State
Alabama loses to…[Read more]

So I listen to quite a few podcasts. Utes, Cybersecurity, vocabulary building/word meanings, and a few others.
I probably have too many I’m trying to listen to, but I found one of intersest. While listening to Riley’s interview with Ryan Leaf a few weeks back he mentions Ryan’s new podcast “Bust: The Ryan Leaf Story” There are only two episodes…[Read more]

I keep seeing top300 recruits decommiting from USC, Washington, and maybe even Stanford.
This presents a huge problem and also a huge advantage in my mind.
The problem is if top300 recruits keep bleeding to other conferences especially the SEC, the Pac12 is going to be weaker vis a vis these other conferences. And we all know there is a…[Read more]

WSU looks to have the ability to both run and pass. Either Washington is soft against the pass/run or WSU has improved alsot since we played them.
Oregon doesn’t have a pass game to lean on when they can’t run. Shut down their run and the game isn’t a blow out, but we still win. WSU has the potential to make a few more big plays.

If BYU beats USC and Oregon loses, Utah gets the Rose Bowl, then we play BYU for the Pac12 championship?
Hate to admit the Pac12 hasn’t really had a great year this year, and sadly TSPP has benefitted. I’d love to “leave no doubt” with TSPP. Then we could say we’ve beat them every year we’ve played them since 2010.

There were some good signs at the game on Saturday.
Living in Colorado i can not tell you how many Nebraska license plate holders/bumper stickers I see.
So here are a few ideas…
“Colorado isn’t Utah’s rival, they are Nebraska’s because they both SUCK!” You could even put the UC in the Colorado font. Gold and Black.
“We won’t need five downs…[Read more]
