UteThunder replied to the topic What’s your biggest Ute game this year? in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
Those are the two for me as well. I lean towards Washington being bigger because it sets the tone for the season. If we win that game, then we are legit contenders for not only the South but for the Pac-12 title. If we lose, then we are behind in the race right from the get go and maybe doubt creeps in that we aren’t good enough.

UteThunder replied to the topic Over the hump keys to winning the South in the forum Football 6 years, 5 months ago
Can’t really disagree with any of that, especially the 4 wins when they should have had many more given how weak their schedule was. They like to point to the difficulty of their schedule to help explain the 4 wins, but their SOS was ranked in the 70s or 80s and they lost to UMass.
I still think the rumors would have leaked out a bit more…[Read more]

The games aren’t great this week, but there’s a couple of games involving some of our former WAC & MWC foes that will certainly quench my thirst for college football.

UteThunder replied to the topic Jaylon Johnson #16 in the forum Football 6 years, 6 months ago
So you’re saying we routinely lined up an injured, 2nd string, freshman corner on our opponents’ #1 WR? Is that really your position?
I’m sure Johnson defended the top WR from time to time, in fact I remember him giving up a huge pass play to Pettis on the opening play of the UW game. But there is no way he was covering the #1 WR more often than…[Read more]

UteThunder replied to the topic Jaylon Johnson #16 in the forum Football 6 years, 6 months ago
IIRC, Blackmon was routinely matched up with the opponent’s #1 WR while Johnson rarely, if ever, drew that duty.
I would argue the ball was thrown Johnson’s way fewer times because QBs will always look to their #1 guy first and it is easier for a CB to lockdown the #2 or worse guy than it is to lockdown the #1 guy.
Also, according to the team…[Read more]

UteThunder replied to the topic Urban Meyer in the forum Football 6 years, 6 months ago
No, I love women and that is why I think it is the right thing for them to do to seek out help and self-advocate if they were ever to be abused. You’re the one who seems to have a problem with me thinking it is wrong for a woman to NOT report her abuse.

Second, you have all the facts in this case? Ha!

UteThunder replied to the topic Urban Meyer in the forum Football 6 years, 6 months ago
Sorry, but that isn’t victim blaming. Nowhere did I say it was her fault she was allegedly abused. Shame on you for accusing me of that.
As for the role she played in not reporting the abuse she suffered AS AN ADULT, that responsibility falls squarely on her shoulders and it is ridiculous to insinuate that anyone else is responsible for it.

UteThunder replied to the topic Urban Meyer in the forum Football 6 years, 6 months ago
So Urban should be fired because of something his wife might have done?
The bottom line on this case: The victim is an adult. It is her responsibility, and hers alone, to report the abuse. Unless Urban threatened the victim or otherwise prevented her from contacting the police, then he should NOT be fired.

UteThunder started the topic Scheduling Disadvantage in the forum Football 6 years, 6 months ago
First of all, let me say that if I had my way we would drop BYU from all future schedules, or at the very least, limit games against them to a couple of times each decade.
Now, having gotten that disclaimer out of the way, I have to say – Utah and Colorado have a distinct scheduling disadvantage compared to the rest of the Pac-12. We are the only…[Read more] -

They are just over half way through the countdown, having released #29 today.
So far, it is an even split for the lead between Utah, USU, and BYU each with 10 players on the list. Weber State has the other 2.
Looking at who they have listed for Utah so far, and who is not listed, I’m thinking it is very likely Utah ends up with 25 or 26 players…[Read more]
