I don’t have issues with that specifically.

What I do have issue with the defense is that after the mythical holding call, Scalley didn’t blitz again after that. I don’t understand why we stopped. Retzlaff was terrible when we blitzed. I don’t have stats but would be surprised to know if he even completed a pass when we blitzed. So why stop…[Read more]

Not a lot to play for at this point. This next game will show who wants to stay and fight or who wants to point fingers and walk away.

What Joel Klatt said about it is how I feel about it. I think that call could go either way and is ultimately a subjective flag in a gray area. Obviously, as a Utah fan, I’m biased to think that this is a super ticky-tacky call. I feel like plays like this happen all the time in football. A BYU fan will say it’s a “textbook” hold. Clearly,…[Read more]

After losing 4 straight, that BYU game was make or break for the season. If we had won, I think this team could have pulled out one or two more wins in the final three. But, losing the way we did, I don’t think we will even be competitive in any of these final three games.

Oh yeah, couldn’t missed it. Seemed to get worse as the game went on.
Also, definitely not the first game it has occurred.

Been a lurker for a while and made an account just to reply to this. Appreciate your comment. Wanted to share my experience after the game.

My family and I sit in the NEZ, have been there since the Mtn West days. We had a good number of TDS fans around us, most were respectful and nice to talk to. Nothing ever went over the line. That changed…[Read more]

Yep, I’d prefer that we never play TDS again for the rest of my life. When we win, it’s just like a big exhale of relief, not really any joy. It’s what is expected. Not much upside to ever beat them. If we lose, it puts me in a really bad mood, especially having to deal with all of the TDS fans since I live in Utah County.

Well said. Good post.

Based on my experience, teams that are going through adversity are always at the tipping point and it doesn’t take much to push them back into the failure cycle. It’s an early game on the road so I assume the team will come out focused and hyped.

But as noted philosopher Mike Tyson once said: Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the…[Read more]

The season is over. Maybe they get fired up for senior day against ISU but 8 straight loses is a real possibility and then the transfer portal is gonna gut this program.

Player from Texas Florida and such only come to Utah to win and get a lot of reps while doing it. When that isn’t happening like the last two seasons no reason to stay.

I s…[Read more]

Yep – we saw it the most in the 4th Q

“I also think it’s funny you guys are saying I’m a BYU fan as an insult or way to invalidate my opinion”

If you don’t understand how calling you a BYU fan IS an insult there’s not much we can do for you. Do you even remotely understand the matchup you’re talking about?

Rose on the road. Not much to play for at all. Colorado at home, all hyped up. Love the defense, but Colorado has some serious talent on offense. Could get ugly.

I agree National Champ. It all starts with the youth athletic programs. The birth of comp teams in all youth sports sends the wrong message. Getting the best players and winning is more important than playing and having fun.

It boggles my mind how competitive parents can get wanting their kids to win. Seems it’s trending in the wrong direction. Y…[Read more]

Yes I noticed it, especially right at the end of the game around the time of the mythical timeout and holding calls. Definitely a problem. Players not set, or knowing what the play call is and the offense already snapped it.

It’s the timing. Your first post was at the same time we had a bunch of new accounts whose only intent was to rub the loss in. If you don’t fit into that mold, keep posting and you’ll eventually earn acceptance just like Jim McMahon, Ted Lasso and even Matt have. I’m sure I’m missing a couple.

Matt also came in strong with the rhetoric but…[Read more]

I don’t have a “pompous” attitude. If you did more than occasional drive by’s whenever you felt a need to grace us with your presence, you’d know that I, and many others, have been opposed to Utah being in the Big XII since, well, forever. It has nothing to do with thinking we’re better, I just don’t give a rat’s ass about any of those schools.…[Read more]

Didn’t the automatic bids begin in 2024?

I don’t dispute any of what you said whatsoever. Yes, having a home schedule with Baylor, Iowa St, and Kansas on it was not exciting. Everyone knows there is going to be another round of realignment and Utah will most likely be included.

Something y’all have to more honest about is, Utah had no where else to go. Sure you might like blondes, but…[Read more]
