Uteified

Great battle. Tough way to end it. That was easily the most hostile environment that the Utes have ever played in (the stadium was deafening), and they fought back and had the win right there. The Utes were easily moving the ball on them (other than the goal line, jeez). It was a painful but a good game.
Speaking of hostile environments, I was…[Read more]

Utah needs to focus all of its efforts on reaching a stable situation. The BIG and SEC are going to become the power 2. So the only long term solution is to join the BIG 10. Easier said than done. In the short run, Utah should pursue all best options at the same time. The president and the AD need to be working overtime.
Here are the three…[Read more]

I could have never guessed that a THREE loss Utah team would be ranked in the top 10(ish)–ahead of two-loss Oklahoma and three-loss Clemson, would win the Pac 12 champtionship by defeating a top-10 Oregon team twice by nearly 60 points combined, and would be playing The Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.

I see comments below that we should be happy with 4th place in the PAC or that we cannot compete with Texas for a coaching hire. We need to wake up. We have forgotten the proud tradition of Utah basketball.
 
– Utah is the 11th winningest basketball program in NCAA history (only bested in the PAC 12 by UCLA). This reaches beyond Majerus. Utah…[Read more]

Beating a dead horse here, but watching the Wisconsin game and seeing their O-line dominate reminds me how important that position is. Maybe second only to having a good QB. A good line can make the running game unstoppable, which opens up the passing, making the QB and receivers better and so on. By contrast, awesome receivers and RB can only do…[Read more]

For longtime Utah football fans, did you ever imagine a day when a one-loss Utah team would be sandwiched  between one-loss Oklahoma and Georgia teams in the top 10, and some might still feel we are underrated?
Neither did I.
Great time to be a Ute.

According to ESPN:
“Pac-12 teams are now 0-10 and have been outscored by an average 15.5 points in their past 10 games against ranked SEC teams, dating to 2008.”

I seem to recall one PAC-12 team whooping Alabama in January of 2009.

Our secondary could be special this year. We have some great talent back there.

Tony – the new desktop background looks awesome. Nice work on both the desktop site and the mobile site.

The article explains how his scrappy personality, which led to his success as a player, is now leading to his success as a coach.

“He wants all of his defensive players to be the smartest players on the field,” cornerbacks coach Sharrieff Shah said. “Scalley says it all the time: ‘I didn’t run 4.3, I wasn’t the biggest, but I put myself in…

I must have missed that we lost another TE last week. We just can’t keep tight ends on the field.

Is it just a string of bad luck or is there something in our scheme that is exposing them to injury more than usual?

I love Barkley. He nailed the issue with USA basketball:

“When they put that team together in the future, they have to realize we can’t have just really, really great offensive players. They gotta have players that if they don’t get a shot, they’re not just gonna stand around and…[Read more]
