Gabe was ice cold out in Mississippi (not sure what town/city they played in) but a lot of that was due to Bulldogs focusing defense on him. (Mason caught fire and Dawes had a strong performance but that wasn’t enough). Utah could do well during conference play when the treys are draining, but will struggle when the shots aren’t falling from outside.

I do feel rather badly for Isaac. Very much needed a red-shirt year to learn how to play at the higher level, (didn’t help his brother is in the NFL so there were very high expectations of him).

Utah had a respectable showing in a ‘road’ game against Mississippi State. Other than St. Mary’s in the Hunty in a few weeks and a neutral court games (in South Dakota) against Iowa, really nothing at all challenging before the Big12 games start. (Really wish we had a few more strong opponents in pre-season. One of those used to be against BYU…[Read more]

I noticed that too. Lots of flashlights on in the visiting section

Arrive on time to honor Ty, Aaron, and the seniors, and stay and loudly support the Utes.

It’s been a gut-wrenching season on so many levels, and no one feels worse than the players and coaches. Let them know we appreciate their hard work.

A lot of the resentment of the Broncos has to do with them being repeatedly called “the original BCS busters” when Utah did it earlier (and when 2 fewer teams were let in).

And less said about their fans the better.

Ty was very talented and I was so impressed when he was awarded the game ball in the locker room and he humbly stated his success that game was due to the fine play of his offensive line.

A young man of great character who must be deeply missed by family, friends, and all who enjoyed watching him play in his all too short a career.

We were right there with BYU. Two untimely injuries derailed our offense in the second half (not to mention 2 fumbles where BYU benefited from the perfect bounce). We could have won comfortably in that one.

Another option is the free shuttle from the tailgating lot. You can get out of the lot quite fast at the end of the game.

If anything it should be the same as March Madness (and EVERY other sport) where all conferences get at least one representative in the playoffs.

Would be unfortunate for Kyle to go out in such a down year which includes a heart breaking loss to BYU.

Lavell Edwards and Ron McBride has losing seasons to end their careers (Ron did coach at Weber a few years) but at least both enjoyed rivalry wins among all the losses.

Did New Mexico get an invite to the PAC or get left out? Really don’t have a lot of football history but have had some strong hoops teams over the years.

Utah winning is far more important to me than whether beating Iowa State lets BYU in the title game or not.

Always had a soft sport in my heart for the Cyclones, playing through the years in the shadows of teams like Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, (not to mention Iowa). If Iowa State gets by Utah I would be pulling for them to win the conference title (kind of jumbled at the top, not sure how all the tie-breakers work as we could have a few teams with 2…[Read more]

Having lived through the late 70s and the 80s, always happy to see BYU lose.

But given our struggles in a very dismal season, I would rather have beaten BYU in Rice-Eccles then seen them rebound and go to the BIG12 Title game, than lost to BYU and see them fail to make the Big12 Final. (Of course hoping they return from Tempe with another loss).

All teams have injuries, but we seem to have had more than our share in recent seasons.

Not sure if due to shoes, turf, conditioning, hard hitting practices, or unfortunate luck (lost a RB for the season early last year when he crashed on a scooter for heavens sake).

I will be there early Saturday to make sure I can help give a hearty roar…[Read more]

It was fitting that Netflix announced WWE was coming to the streaming service in January.

Really joke of a ‘fight’ and was deservedly booed by those in attendance (what did tickets cost to this)? Glad I didn’t fork over any PPV money for this one. Undercard was entertaining at least. Ramos/Barrios put on a good contest and ladies had a great battle.

Colorado seems to be having that charmed season similar to our opponent last week. Thinking of their game against Baylor where after the Bear earlier missed a FG that could have almost sealed the game, a bit later the Buffaloes tied it on a Hail Mary on the last play of the 4th quarter. Then in OT, Colorado scored a TD and Baylor fumbled about…[Read more]

We’re so short-manned, down FOUR QBs (if rumors of Wilson are true) and 2 of our best receivers.

Hard to see any wins this season I’m afraid, unless defense scores few times.

Money Parks also gone for the year (hurt in TCU or Houston game)

I remember the time we were out about 5 RB and McBride had Ben Moa change from TE to RB. Will never forget his (third) overtime TD in Colorado State out of the Wildcat formation then the subsequent jump pass to win it.
