UTE98 replied to the topic Utes to face BYU in 2015 Las Vegas Bowl – Your Comments? in the forum Football 8 years, 11 months ago

DISAPPOINTED. We finished 9-3, tied for first in the South. That’s a good season. Let’s put things in perspective.

Ole Miss finished 9-3, and is headed to the Sugar Bowl against #16 Oklahoma St. They lost to CFB #19, unranked Arkansas and unranked Memphis. Best wins #2 Alabama, #20 LSU. Three of their wins are against UTM, Fresno St. and…[Read more]

@leftyjace gymnastics and volleyball are fun to watch and with three girls, my son will appreciate those two sports.

And if by chance anybody caught the replay of the match against Colorado, yes I am the fat guy with his family on the right side behind the bench. I think the camera added 50 lbs or maybe it was my wife’s cooking over 21 years.

I have three daughters and one loves to play volleyball and the other two play a bit as well. I’m really tempted to get my daughter enrolled in more competitive V-ball and see how much she wants to do, and also how good she can become. But I think it’s still a long shot since we’re starting her late to play for Utah or any college for that matter.

UTE98 started the topic So where does this season rank from my recollection? in the forum Football 8 years, 11 months ago

I think 2004 and 2008 which ended with BCS victories definitely rank ahead of this season.

I’ll just go back 25 years to 1990 and highlight possible comparable years.

1994 (10-2) with victories over Oregon and Arizona. This probably was a better year than this year, we finished higher in the rankings, though the year isn’t over yet.

1999 (9-3)…[Read more]

Took the family to the Utah v. Colorado Volleyball game today and it was fun. If anybody saw the game on the Pac12 network that may or may not have been me making barn animal noises when Colorado was serving. With that said, Colorado’s band was just plain annoying.

Coach Launiere came up to talk to us before the game and my three daughters wanted…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic Should we have been running two or three different backs this year? in the forum Football 8 years, 12 months ago

Yes, we have never had a RB with a legitimate shot at the end of the year to be in the running for any major awards, Doak Walker, Heisman. So why are we just running one running back so if he goes down, and quite a few have, we’re breaking in a new running back with two games left in the season?

I thought we had PAC12 depth this year, but we seem…[Read more]

Williams is looking really good. And he just busted off 13 more yards and is sitting at 99 first drive of second half.

We’ve had some pretty good years with Warfield, Johnson, Ganther, etc. It seems we ride one horse too much these past two or three years.

UTE98 started the topic SEC how overrated vs. PAC 12? in the forum Football 8 years, 12 months ago

So I just flipped over to the Ole Miss – LSU game. LSU is not the #15 team in the country. #22 Miss St is up by 17 late in the first half. Miss St has the same won-loss record as UCLA, however UCLA hasn’t played as many weak games.

Ole Miss beat Tennessee Martinsville, Fresno St., New Mexico St., and Vanderbilt. Lost to Memphis.

I’m sorry UCLA…[Read more]

UTE98 started the topic Bachynski and Olson? How much do we miss them this year? in the forum Basketball (Men) 8 years, 12 months ago

A ton.

I don’t think we are even in the top three in the PAC12 this year with only one true center. Reyes is just not tall or athletic enough to pick up the extra minutes we need.

UTE98 started the topic Random musings an hour after the game. in the forum Football 9 years ago

First the Stanford loss IMO was the straw that broke the camel’s back regarding the playoffs. Once Stanford lost no matter what they did or Utah did was going to get either of us in the playoffs. But our loss pretty much guaranteed no PAC12 team gets the CFB or possibly even a second NY6 bowl.

I find it very odd that the Pac12s three ranked teams…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic Thanks to Ute Hub Users in the forum Comments and Suggestions 9 years ago

I agree for the most part this site has spawned good dialogue. We have avoided Zoobs, too much negativity or calling each other names or cutting down others viewpoints. Sometimes I come up with topics out of left field and nobody has really berated me about it.

Sure we have Moose, but he’s kept it under control for the most part, I think he knows…[Read more]

UTE98 started the topic Program Sustainability what's your perception in the forum 9 years ago

So I was thinking last night as I was watching our Volleyball team play Arizona as I kept seeing ads for tonight’s BB game.

I think we have a better chance at sustaining success in BB if Coach Krystokowiak were to leave than we probably would if KW left. Currently we have Connor, as a good candidate for a replacement, but we also have Al Jensen…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic Over the hump & Consistency in the forum Football 9 years ago

Sustainable? That’s a good question. I think we will probably only be able to attain 8-1 every 5-7 years. However I think it is reasonable to expect us to win at least two OOC games every year. Most years I’d say we probably don’t beat a Michigan like team to start the year OOC. I think we can sustain a level above Colorado for the near future 10…[Read more]

Well I guess this post is a direct conflict to your “I’m the most Mormon Mormon who’s ever Mormoned!”

Nice work sparky.

UTE98 started the topic Total points scored against UW in the forum Football 9 years ago

Anybody want to venture a guess as to which team scored the most points against UW this year?

Yeah sure it took a pick 6 but yes once again Utah put up the most points against a team this year.

3rd most points against UM.

4th most points against USU.

4th most points against Fresno. 73 against Miss St. Holy crap that’s bad.

Most points scored…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic Anybody else think on that last UW interception the defender pushed off Repp? in the forum Football 9 years ago

I’m with Astute Ute, I thought there was a make up call as well.

Overall I think we won because we played better, however that was a poorly officiated game.

And the announcer (Michigan Griese) seemed to have a grudge against Utah.

On to AZ and Anu S.

UTE98 started the topic I was a bit concerned when my zoobie mother-in-law texted my wife mid first half in the forum Football 9 years ago

She texted, “I hope Utah wins, these announcers are so biased for Washington.”

Not sure how I felt about that. But my F-I-L and she have been coming over to the darkside. But he’s still a zoobie.
