Yeah, the commentators were definitely sucking off UCLA. As the final scores were going up, all commentary and cameras were on UCLA…all the while I’m thinking “who just won the meet?” But I get it – UCLA is a much bigger brand than Utah. That’s what ESPN is now: A brand-pumping sports whore.

Turning attention back to the actual sport: For the…[Read more]

Rising and Singer would have been very special but we all know what happened. But Dampier is also special in my opinion. We have a whole new offensive staff with new energy. I’m excited and hopeful guys will want to be a part of it.

No offense Miami Ute, but I see ZERO validity in that line of thinking.

First and foremost, I’m not too concerned about the past when it comes to getting as many bites at the apple when it comes to 4-5 star WR’s coming to Utah.

Unfortunately for Singer, his 1 and only season at Utah coincided with one of the most bizarre and disjointed yea…[Read more]

I recall Greg Fluguar commenting about the potential down the road and his BYU clown audience gnashing their teeth about him even saying it. The current state of college athletics has me less interested by the day.

Keep your chin up buddy. Don’t feel guilty about not renewing, though I understand feeling a little sad about it. It’s been a rough couple of years as a Ute fan, but I think we’ll be more often competing for conference championships than not.

Big upgrade in basketball.

The Pac was dogshit in hoops most years.

Form the super conference and get it over with. Separate football from all other college sports. Form conferences with regional ties for the other team sports. College football is like a heroin addiction. You cant live without it. NIL, transfer portal, realignment, uneven playing field and rising ticket prices are becoming viable rehabs. It…[Read more]

This was clearly a byu troll posing as an Utah fan for the sole purpose of making Utah look bad.

He created a utezone account the day before he posted and this was his first post. It was immediately shutdown by the utezone mods but not before it grew legs and ended up on message board genius and cougarboard and locked on big12 podcast as truth.…[Read more]

We desperately need D-line talent. We have no viable backup DT’s and Fano is our only good DE. Fitzgerald and Daley could improve, but it’s not a guarantee.

Said a few times, going from MWC to PAC was a massive upgrade. From PAC to Big12 was a drop off in football, but arguably a small upgrade in hoops.

Biggest issue I have is teams are so spread out and the championship venues are on longer a 6 hours drive down I-15 to Sin City. Of course potentially going to Big10 just puts us with many teams…[Read more]

Yeah, hard to argue that point. I don’t want Utah to become cannon fodder instead of a real competitor. Still, how many critics of Utah (so many of them 40 miles south of us) said we’d be nothing more than Washington State or the AZ schools in the PAC-12.

I know we’ll never be USC or Ohio State, but I DO think so much of what holds and has held…[Read more]

Good points, I’ve thought about this a lot too. The reality is Washington and UCLA are pretty much destined to be what Michigan State and Iowa are at best in the Big-10. Oregon has the $$$ behind them and USC the reputation and history to compete every year with Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State. If we went to the Big-10, we’d have to learn to…[Read more]

Come on guys…we had a guy, Dorian Singer, who was a year removed from being an All PAC 12 First Team WR and we couldn’t exploit his outstanding capabilities. Based on that, I’m not going to lose any sleep whether we are able to recruit some HS 5 Star kid.

Going to the Big 10, as currently constituted, would be a good thing, generally speaking, for the U. However, would it specifically be good for Utah athletics? I’m not so sure. I want to think so, but then I see who’s in the Big 10 and the number of quality institutions who’ve been eternal also-rans in that conference.

See, as major college…[Read more]

Phillip Lindsay was on 104.3 The Fan here in Denver on Tuesday and he was pissed. Not for himself, but he said since Deion showed up prior legends don’t feel comfortable up at CU. Lindsay then went on to say he’d talked with numerous prior legends at CU who have not had their jerseys retired and they are not happy. He commented Rick George the…[Read more]
