After this last two years we all have a right to be grumpy.

As a fan I’m already so beaten down that a loss won’t really affect me much. But I’d LOVE for the players to go out with a win. I’ve been impressed with how they haven’t given up. They’ve continued to play hard every week. Go Utes!

yeah, I’m pretty much the kiss of death lately. Of course his one mistake would be the only thing people look at instead of the defense or the running back who fumbled in the red zone

He would certainly have been the answer for Utah not having a 15 carry a game back.

Pretty happy for the kid.

Now he’s tearing up Colorado State: 11-16-136 with two TD’s passing, 16-116 rushing with another TD in the 3rd quarter.

Gauley is dam release by schedule. New is free flowing and rain dependent. So new runs any time. It gets low and it gets huge- either can be an issue.

I’ve spent a lot of time kayaking on the Gauley and a bit on the New. Both are awesome and worth seeing.

Also hiking in the hardwood forests is pretty amazing when you are from the desert.…[Read more]

Don’t sleep on Manhattan Kansas it is a great small town and college atmosphere. Downtown is fun, even if it is small, and the stadium is really nice.

Cincinnati is a river port. You can book yourself onto a authentic riverboat. Nice way to see America.

Another bonus to no bowl game! The other being this godforsaken clusterfuck of a season being extended.

Reading this topic makes me realize I know even less about the Big 12 and its teams than I thought.

Thanks Jim for your perspective. I believe you are spot on.

Kliavkoff was old school and reactionary. Probably viewed his mandate simply as one to negotiate a deal for the PAC 12. Didn’t see the landscape rapidly changing in college football all around him and I believe was naively broadsided by it all.

Yormark seems to be by contrast,…[Read more]

I agree McMahon. Yormark was aggressive and saved the Big 12. Kliakoff expected ESPN and Fox to cave in and give the Pac 12 the money they wanted. The west coast time zone doesn’t draw the eyeballs and especially when you take USC and Oregon out (similar to Ok and Texas).

It came down to who could get the first deal as it turned out. The Big 1…[Read more]

Hate is a pretty strong word. I don’t much care for the B12 today or even previously. Born and raised in the upper midwest never much caring about the South West Conference or any of the Big iterations that followed. True in the yesterday and true today. It might seem a novelty to some here on the Wasatch but it really is as bland as oatmeal for breakfast.

The Big 12 has long had the approach of spreading out rivalries through the later weeks of the season rather than pitting them in direct competition with each other and other league rivalries. In general, it’s a smart move.

With the expanded conference numbers, there are only 4 ‘protected’ rivalries in the Big 12 right now (that will be played…[Read more]
