I think Utah has been playing below our abilities (even with injuries) and BYU a bit above theirs. But momentum and confidence are sky high for the Cougars and rather low for Utah.

My heart is with Utah, and will be there tomorrow night to cheer for my team, but will be quite pleasantly surprised if we can pull this one off.

cam calhoun!!!!

Will be curious to see the reception he gets when we visit the Marriott Center.

I never thought I would do that either. Maybe it was the fact he went out of his way to taunt at our house and I didn’t mention he was yelling “Blow me” when pointing at his privates. New poll was I wrong?

The Utes do not have a single player as good as Smith or Carlson last year, however, the first part of the team 1 thru 10 likely is better. And this is the case before the centers are added to the team. My question is how much better can the team get with time playing together? Carlson seems to be hard to replace, Smith may possibly be replaced…[Read more]

Sat through two doinks over the years. First was Kenashiro (for Utah) damned good kicker but had horrible timing on the few kicks he missed (in San Diego in OT and in Rice-Eccles against BYU. Other was the 2012 one (students rushed the field 3 times)

I’m still trying to get warm from the 2003 game. My sister and I bought tickets off of ebay from some TDS student. We froze, but loved it.

I sat in the student section for the 1988 beatdown. TDS had no answer. I remember when the white practice bubble was a great upgrade. My friends and I would buy a $5 GA ticket and sit on those old wood…[Read more]

Fans throwing things at players is unacceptable behavior, but for Todd Christiansen I think it’s ok. ✅

2012. The sound of the *doink* when BYU hit the upright on that last field goal was incredible. Very stressful final few minutes, but so fun.

And no, I did not storm the field early!

I think our success with be against teams that don’t guard the perimeter very well. Like the past two teams we have played. Teams like Houston and Baylor will likely kill us with their perimeter quickness. However, I think we can hold our own with some of the less athletic teams. This team has some pretty serious shooters on it and their…[Read more]

I’m taking a different angle on my favorite rivalry moment. I was a student in the early seventies sitting in the student section for the rivalry game. They had dominated us and we had no chance of winning.

The teams had warmed up before the game and were heading back to the locker room before coming back out. A BYU player took his helmet off a…[Read more]

I went to the game last night and was pleasantly surprised at how fun it was. Craig has definitely recruited shooters. It will be interesting to see if we can hang with some of the teams in the Big12.

I think this team will surprise a few people this year and I don’t think it’s out of the possibility that we finish somewhere around the middle…[Read more]

Much to be hopeful for this season only two games in against some cupcakes. However, won’t be convinced until midseason conf play which I think at that point in the season should be a good measuring stick. Go UTES!

Teams like ours tend to be really tough at home and crap on the road. The “enemy gym” phenomenon tends to affect outside shooting teams the most.

But hey, I’m not complaining. If we’re competitive in every game at home and losing every game on the road, that’s better than I thought we’d be.

Have a strong moral and ethical objection to ever bet against my team.

All of the low post Bigs are hurt.

Lovering, Keller, Traore are all out.

Traore for the season while Livering and Keller are going to miss significant time.

I like how you guys think. Deciding how much a win is worth as opposed to possibly losing both. Taking the money line eliminates the chance of losing both with the spread(smart). I’ve been doing that with BYU all year. (8-0).Bet for them with the spread and if they win you get money if they lose you get satisfaction.

Just realized my viewing of posts was set to Football only…so I didn’t see the other basketball posts mentioning some of the same things I mentioned above.

IF Utah had lived up to expectations and came in with just one or zero losses) against an undefeated BYU team, what an epic matchup this could have been Saturday. (Thinking back to 1994 where both teams finished high in the rankings and Utah won after Cal Beck ran back a KO return deep into Cougar territory to get up the winning score).

Have to…[Read more]
