A few more additions to this thread.

Flashing the U with your hands started with former Utah gymnast Melissa Vitju. She would make the sign to her parents who were sitting in the stands, and it slowly spread from there. It really started to go main stream when Matt Asiata flashed it on national television after scoring a touchdown in the Sugar…[Read more]

I think 7-5 is a pretty reasonable pick. Utah might be decently improved over last year’s team but certainly appears to have a harder schedule this year (Utah’s sos last year was their weakest since the MWC days).

I think if things break their way, they can potentially get to 9-3 but that seems very bullish for Utah at this point.

But I…[Read more]

Jim, I would think so, especially when you look at all of the close games that Utah had but ultimately lost. As I said, 7-5 is my floor but I’m hoping that the Utes can do better than that. I do have to think that, contract or no contract, another disappointing season from the team signifies a trend and would probably mean a change in head coach.

A less complicated offense and a new face running it should get us to 8-4 9-3. Last year left a bad taste in the mouths of coaches and returning players. Please don’t over use Dampier and Parker we need them down the stretch. Spread offense means spread the ball around to others.

Well said Miami. We have always been the U. Miami is the 70’s -80’s version. I guess Im old school but I like the drum and feather and our affiliation with the Ute tribe. I think it’s awesome that they are able to perform their dances and culture at a game each year. Respect and understanding is a better solution than crying racism for both parti…[Read more]

Moa is at church camp this week, Dan Sorensen a Utah insider said he expects a decision pretty quick after he gets home.

At church camp this week, Dan Sorensen, expects him to announce pretty soon after he comes home.

Actually, had some fun poking holes in the Utah Administration’s official version of the logo change.

But you want to really know what’s going on? Follow the money, boys, follow the money!!

Taylor and Randle got us into “heap big trouble” in debt. That’s a fact! Mismanagement; poor leadership/ decision making; Pac-12 fiasco; lack of skill…[Read more]

Especially given what we’ve seen during the last couple of seasons. Again, I hope I’m wrong and this time next year I’m wondering how I’m going to pay off my remaining CFP bills but…

So a two win improvement with a new OC, new QB, new system and so forth. Not an outlandish prediction.

Have to weigh in on this one.

Per Fox News, Utah has officially selected the Interlocking UU’s as a logo, to replace the designation of “The U”.
This ‘to differentiate and distinguish ourselves’ from other institutions, such as the University of Miami.

Really? Is that really the official line?

And if that’s the case, and Team Identity Confusion…[Read more]

If you read the article, the university specifically said that’s not going to happen. They’re not going to waste time and resources on eliminating something that’s already present in the collective consciousness of fans and students. All current Block Us are probably here to stay. They’re just not going to create more of them.

So, they better take some back hoes and jack hammers up to the block U up on the mountain side to incorporate some interlocking U’s, which I don’t like at all, looks to sophomoric, a University of Houston interlock U and H knockoff.

I also assume the D&F will likely remain on the primary helmets (tho it does feel like the school is transitioning away from it more and more each year as it was only worn like half the games in 2024 as three other games had the interlocking Us + that special helmet for the ISU game) so this is more an academic transition more than anything, and…[Read more]

I don’t hate your list, but mine would be pretty different.
-I’m no expert on Baylor or TCU, but they are both billed as offensive juggernauts. However, our defense handled both of them well.
-Call me a homer, but I think we’ll be very good. We have a big stretch with no travel that will be great for player health.
-I would rather byu be overe…[Read more]

Nice breakdown ALUF. I was ready to mortgage my house last year to attend the CFP games. Reality was a wake up call. I think we have reversed roles with BYU. They used the disrespect and lack of success in 2023 as motivation. Now we have the same motivation they had last year. BYU has the target on their backs now. Whittingham loves the underdog…[Read more]

Wow – terrific breakdown ALUF,

I think Baylor gets us and one of BYU or Kansas. If healthy, this team can be 10-2 and in the title game with 9-3 a possibility. If injuries mount again I don’t see 5-7 as the basement. I think Beck’s offense is creative enough but without too much complexity that we’ll be all right offensively regardless of injury.…[Read more]

I think Utah gets back into a respectable postseason game again (e.g., the Alamo, Texas, Pop-Tarts, Liberty, or Sun bowls), but we’ll be seeing Baylor and Iowa St in the title game.

GO UTES!!!
