UteThunder started the topic Maybe it is time to start drinking the Kool-aid, for the rivalry game at least in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
1280am does their annual 60 in 60 where media members vote on the 60 best football players in the state of Utah. In the 60 weekdays leading up to the start of college football they release one player on the list each day.
They have done #’s 60 – 21 so far and will continue with the top 20 starting Monday. The breakdown of players on the list to…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic Ute Fan Optimism in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
If you are predicting 8 or more wins this year, please post the number of wins you think we will have. Then, post what you base your optimism on for Utah’s chances this year?
The last three years I have been very optimistic about our chances going into each season.
In 2014 I predicted 9 or 10 wins. We won 9.
In 2015 I predicted 10 or 11 wins.…[Read more] -
UteThunder started the topic I would like to apologize to the members of UteHub in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
I’m sorry for my part in the childish exchange between myself and @crazyute last night. I allowed myself to get sucked in by his immature personal shots and I’m embarrassed that I responded in kind.
I have significantly decreased my posting on UF.N recently and one of the reasons is because that place has exchanges like the one I participated in…[Read more] -
UteThunder replied to the topic Williams vs Mangum, Power 5 opponents only in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
I am a true Ute through and through. Your ridiculous belief that I am a BYU fan demonstrates what a complete jackass you are.
I’ll say this, if nothing else, your stupidity is very entertaining.

UteThunder replied to the topic Williams vs Mangum, Power 5 opponents only in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
Oh my god, not this again. Every year since they went independent, Utah fans make this type of prediction. And every year BYU outperforms the prediction. I’m not going to take the time to look it up but every year they have surpassed the “BYU will start 0-4” or “BYU is going to be lucky to win 6 games this year” predictions I see from Utah fans.…[Read more]

UteThunder replied to the topic Listening to Whitt after yesterday: in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
Two thoughts:
1) I’m a little skeptical of the “CBs look better than last year” comment when he says “We’ve moved WRs to CB so they have a shot to play.”
If the CBs we have look better than last year, how in the world is a converted WR supposed to get playing time there?
2) If we blow BYU out, I will be pushing you out of the way to dive into…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic You've gotta love cougarboard . . . 🙂 in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
One of their fans posted a rumor about several pending suspensions for their players, and not just for football but for multiple sports. I don’t think it lasted five minutes before the moderators deleted the message. Too funny.

UteThunder replied to the topic Early Camp thoughts so far in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
I can buy most of that, though a lot of it sounds like hyperbole laden coach speak. How many times has Whit said something like “best QB situation in the country” or “deepest, most talented WR we’ve ever had” only to have those claims not be backed up once the season started. One claim I don’t buy is the RBs.
First of all, DHC has one career…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic Silver Lining to Hansen missing fall camp in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
The fact he may miss a couple of games isn’t something that is being sprung on the coaches at the last minute. Blair is going to be getting starter reps for the duration of fall camp and will be as prepared as possible to start if needed, rather than Chase taking most of the reps and then being ruled out the beginning of week 1.

UteThunder started the topic Is Jaylon Johnson's brother from UCLA still a possibility to transfer to Utah? in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
Anyone have any updates on him?
The late additions of Carrington and Nurse have me feeling a bit better about our WR group. Picking up a grad transfer CB like Johnson to bolster our inexperienced secondary would be huge. -
UteThunder replied to the topic Top Returning Safeties (passer rating against) in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
Yeah, the Indiana safeties faced some pretty bad passing offenses. 11 of their 13 opponents ranked #66 or worse in passing yards per game last year.
#122 Rutgers, #113 Wake Forest, #106 Maryland, #103 Wisconsin, #86 Nebraska, #85 Michigan, #81 Ohio State, #78 Utah, #74 Michigan State, #69 FIU, #66 Ball State
For comparison, 8 of Utah’s 13…[Read more]

Here are the week “0” and week 1 games I’m looking forward to.
Week 0, August 26th – This isn’t the greatest slate of games, but there are still some interesting match-ups if for no other reason than they feature Ute opponents and/or conference rivals.Saturday, August 26thOregon State @ Colorado State Portland State @ BYU South Florida @ San Jose…[Read more] -
UteThunder replied to the topic Darren Carrington to Utah in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
Very well said. Oregon never gave him a second chance. He messed up at Oregon multiple times and was disciplined for those indiscretions. If he had been kicked off the team, or done something that normally results in someone being kicked off the team, and then Oregon let him come back or stay, then you could say he already had a second chance. But…[Read more]

UteThunder replied to the topic Athlon Utah Football Game-by-Game Predictions in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
A bleacher report top 10 that includes TROY at #7 and Georgia State and Appalachian State as honorable mentions? That’s what you’re going with?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Did you even read their selection criteria? It’s simply number of returning starters and how they ranked nationally last year in 5 statistical categories. No weight given to…[Read more]

UteThunder replied to the topic Athlon Utah Football Game-by-Game Predictions in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
Different context. Rick said the receivers we have coming back were better in the last few games of last season than the guys we are losing were. The statistics in the last 5 games prove that isn’t really true.
ETA: The discussion of BYU players was regarding the claim that they had “zero talent” at RB which I was pointing out isn’t true. This is…[Read more]

We had 8 players drafted and a total of 15 players go to the NFL from last year’s team.
We’re replacing 4 of 5 starters on the OL. Replacing our leading rusher who carried the team. Replacing 2 of our top 3 WR, including our leading WR. On defense we are replacing both corners and a safety in the secondary, and our DL lost some of its best…[Read more]
