Belli, I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say, “ew”.

I’m out of the loop on this one. Is there a name for this hockey team yet or is Utah Hockey Club it?

Man, college football seasons can be a wild ride. Look at all the losses by top 25 teams last weekend. With all the insane changes to the game over the last couple of years, the “wild ride” is what I’m hanging on to. It can be SO fun for teams that are beating expectations and can be the opposite for those of us that aren’t. I know, I know,…[Read more]

Hey, Dub. I’ve heard the term “max protect” used a few times. Would you be willing to give me the 5 cent explanation of what that is? I mean, wouldn’t the O-line’s purpose to always be “max protect”? Forgive my ignorance.

They’re forgetting one huge key to the game: retribution.

That has to be worth 7-10 points right there.

I wouldn’t mind Dorian Singer (former AZ player) having a three touchdown day.

Looks like a running back is leaving UNLV too.

Maybe this insanity has to happen to provoke the change that is needed.

You must have been the other Utah fan at my high school 😉

For sure, Minnesota. One thing I won’t miss is being tied to California.

Oh, it’s mostly PTSD on my part. I grew up in Cottonwood Heights in the 80’s where my high school (and friends) were probably 80% TDS fans and 99% Mormon. Needless to say, we weren’t competitive during those year so I took a LOT of mental abuse being one of the few non-Mormon and Utah fans. The BYU fans that I knew were arrogant and obnoxious…[Read more]

JM and Ted Lasso are good people. The UteHub family needs to convert them to the good side.

That said, I really liked having TDS and Utah in different conferences and rarely playing each other. Sporting events between the two aren’t fun for me. They’re more of a “get it over with” thing. But, hey, we all have our opinions.

Based on Whitt’s post game interview on 700, he hasn’t forgotten… this should be fun.

Represent well, boys!

I love Tony, just not that way (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

In all fairness, I do wear my lucky underwear whenever the Utes play.

Here are some quotes to help you in this time of need:

“Worrying won’t change the outcome; it only steals your present joy.”

“Let go of what you can’t control; focus on what you can change.”

“The more you worry about the future, the less you enjoy the present.”

“Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair: it give you something to do but gets…[Read more]

There really are some excellent members here. There are even members that I will search out their predictions because I respect their opinion so much. We’ve had a few “off” moments, but that’s both normal and somewhat healthy. If you want group-think, there’s another board run by TDS fans that you can visit. I like both the super optimistic…[Read more]

On a side note: did you see the USC/Michigan line? It’s moved from Michigan -10.5 to -5.5 today. Crazy.

I had a couple of Zoob work colleagues call Ute fans out for being arrogant about their new home in the BigXII. I tried to explain to them that while we are grateful to have found a landing spot, we just miss the awesome place we had in the Pac12. We can miss our old conference and still respect our new conference. Those things are not mutually…[Read more]

That’s funny… I read it as the spread dropped TO 4 points. I was Googling “fast HELOC loans” there for a minute.

Is anyone else exhausted from the will he/won’t he play with Cam? I think I’m done with it. I’ll just see who takes the first snap on Saturday and will be fine with it. We are a different team with Cam back there, but I’ve found…[Read more]
