I have this one chalked up as a loss, HOWEVER, I will say that it’s a lot more of a 50/50 game to me than it was a couple of week ago. Teams like USC hate teams like Utah because we don’t go away. What’s the saying? “you might beat Utah, but you’re going to walk away with a limp”. I think USC likes team to lay down.

I was a little surprised to see our star safety come in and look so much better than any of our running backs (with the exception of a healthy JQJ). His vision coupled with his violent north to south running style was incredible. I guess I’ll just chalk this one up to Vaki being a freak of nature.

“How many teams can say they only have one loss?” hahahahahahaha

Was it me or does it seem like Vaki has the best vision of any of our running backs right now (including JQJ)?

They do, Miami. I use mine all the time.

“The Valen Halen guy”? You’re killing me, chinngiskhaan.

“The only people of concern are the people inside this building.”

My one very minor quibble: no concern for those of us that pour thousands of dollars into the program? Just sayin’.

I say we go 100% air raid offense for the rest of the year, incompletions and interceptions be damned. At least it’ll be entertaining!

You know how it goes: there are two sides to every story and the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. That’s how I approach fan boards like this. I consider myself a realist when it comes to the Utah football program (began my fandom in the 80’s, which left scars). For instance, I don’t see Cam making it back this year and because of…[Read more]

We have some stubborn coaches, Jim. If they think we could beat UCLA (which we did) and Oregon State with that game plan, then certainly they think we can beat Cal with it. By the way, I trust our coaches. They have won the last two conference championships and I think that allows them a little latitude. I’m just guessing they are confident in…[Read more]

“Unless we keep our game plan against UCLA and OSU.”

I think this is EXACTLY what we’ll do on Saturday. I’ll be the coaches are confident that we can bet Cal with the offense we have been running, and we just might depending on how our defense does.

Initial response: oh God, we caused the conference to break up
After reading: Randall was one of the adults in the room trying to make it all work

My wife has told me over and over again that she wouldn’t even have a punter if she was the coach. She’d seriously go for it on 4th and 20 from our own 5. Maybe she’s the one who is right?

I have a hard time watching games with my wife. I love her and all, but I end up having to talk her off the ledge the whole game. Plus, she gets hateful towards the teams we’re playing. That’s not healthy.

I’m not on the ledge here. I promise. I simply don’t see how we win playing one-sided ball. That’s all. I’m not convinced we move the ball even with Cam in there at this point. But like I said, I hope I’m wrong. I hope Cam comes back for Cal and drops 400 yards on them. As always… GO UTES!

Man, DrahUte, I love your enthusiasm and confidence. I wish I were there with you, but I just think this injury crisis is too much to overcome this year. Not only have we had more than our fair share of injuries, but they are at key positions. Here’s how I think the rest of the year plays out:

We lose the big three (USC, Oregon, &…[Read more]

Sounds like your sister-in-law needs an apology and a really nice gift 😉

Thanks for keeping this awesome site going, Tony!

Ute Dub, my wife and I would like to have you over for dinner. We haven’t seen you quite some time and it would be good to catch up. We have an opportunity we’d like to run by you at the same time.
