I’ll be there and do my share to make Rice-Eccles loud this weekend.

Possibly they agreed that as a unit, they are playing well below their talent and abilities and it’s time they stopped feeling sorry for themselves about injuries, tough decisions by the officials, and results just not going as we expected heading into the season, and that it is time to buckle up and play harder and better.

I say if we are ahead against Iowa State and able to take the V formation, have Cam come out to take the knee. Other than that his time is done.

Will never forget his performance against USC a few years ago.

Everyone spending the big $$$$ to attend games has the freedom to act how they want, but it would help if we have a supportive crowd Saturday, cheering the players and team and not getting down on them if they are having a rough time.

Not going to help at all if we boo them off the field at halftime if we are down. Isaac needs to know we…[Read more]

Massive pressure from fans demanding the return of Cam Rising (only to be hurt within a few plays) made it difficult to pull him. If they had put Isaac in and he struggled, some fans would have been screaming about it.

Damn I hate injuries.

We haven’t played them in quite a while. Let it go already.

Great game. 80 left to go.

My great disappointment the last two seasons has been team started off playing well up until mid January then fell completely apart. Sure we had a few guys banged up but other have to step up when that happens.

I too will expect to see Isaac running our offense until I see Cam running onto the field.

Grew up with the Salt Lake Golden Eagles in the old Salt Palace (an excellent hockey venue which wasn’t so great for hoops (sight lines were horrible in the blue dress circle behind the baskets).

Will be interesting to see how they reconfigure the Delta Center to accommodate both sports. Going to have to make major changes on the ends.

CU just seems to be charmed to pull out close games. Their OT win over Baylor was just crazy (forced OT on a last second Hail Mary, then Baylor fumbled inside the one yard line on a potential tying score)

Arizona winning makes us look better, but could hurt us if they’re tied with us in the standings at the end of the season if things come down to tie-breakers.

What a crazy ride it has been for the Mets. Monday against the Braves, needing a win to even make the playoffs, they had an 6 run 8th inning and 2 more in the 9th. Then last night a 3 run dinger in the 9th in the decisive games against Milwaukee.

Back when we hoped to win the battle of the brothers and maybe win a few other games against the likes of Wyoming, Colorado State, and New Mexico, and at least blowing out UTEP was a foregone conclusion. Dreamed of one day beating that team down in Provo and heaven forbid attending a bowl game or maybe being in the ‘others receiving votes’…[Read more]

For right now Big12 has more prestige than what is in the Pac and very unlikely the Pac gets a media even close to the one for Big12, so I would say Utah stays put until the next big shuffle.

It’s been noted a few other places that our last home loss to an unranked visitor was in 2017. So it isn’t like we make a habit of this. Just a game we need to learn from and move on.

In the first few games this season, we benefitted from some interference calls and on similar plays Saturday, those calls weren’t made. Indeed very probably their DC told them, when in doubt, hit them early to break up the play and keep doing it until the call is made.

On a tangent, after our TD with Zona starting deep in their territory with…[Read more]

Wish we had a beefier pre-season for the men. Other than home game against St. Mary’s and ‘neutral court’ games against Mississippi St. and Iowa, not really much to get them seasoned for the Big12 battles.

May not be quite so bad this week since we are fortunate to have a late start (on what will be a very warm day) and it will be pleasant to sit in the stand at halftime enjoying the Homecoming show and seeing the band write out the script Utah instead of seeking shelter from the elements.

But at some point need some major construction of some…[Read more]

BYU had a stretch of about half a quarter where everything went right for them and disastrously wrong for K-State (who controlled the other 53 minutes except for not ever finding the end zone.) Not often a team has 50% more total yardage but loses by 30.

Meanwhile Baylor licking their wounds after a last second Hail Mary forced overtime…[Read more]
