I predict the Utes realign the zoobs’ spines on November 9th. They should stay focused on that.

from your keyboard to God’s ears brother
question though – why would the SEC not try and get Notre Dame?

EmersonUte replied to the topic Strengths and weaknesses going into our 2024 football season in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
I have similar thoughts on the weaknesses. However, I seem to always give our defense the benefit of the doubt. So I feel like we should be fine there. Heard some things on a podcast from Shah talking about the two transfer portal corners and I feel like we’ll be good by the end of fall camp. I think Tao will be great, so I’m down to really…[Read more]

EmersonUte replied to the topic Top 2 B12 Games involve Utah and 4 of the top 15 in the forum Football 3 months, 3 weeks ago
I think we ought to wear red hats that say in big white letters “make the big 12 great again”. That’s the attitude

EmersonUte replied to the topic Is Lander Barton the next Eric Weddle? in the forum Football 10 months, 1 week ago
that’s fascinating. Makes me wonder if we will see (or maybe already are starting to see) talent get away from the running back position. Seems like they’ve been heavily de-valued. Conversely its a spot we seem to always be able to get better than average guys in.

thank you for posting these, I usually miss them live. I like that he mentioned last year’s game. We seemed to do well against Florida keeping that in mind.

EmersonUte replied to the topic Level of excitement? in the forum Football 10 months, 1 week ago
My excitement is based on just surviving and advancing each week. Our schedule is crazy difficult, lots of ranked road games, but defense travels. If we manage just to survive this week, we get a chance to survive next week. The odds are small, but we have a schedule that will leave absolutely no questions if we manage to come out on top of the…[Read more]

EmersonUte replied to the topic 2024 Potential Non-Conference Opponents in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago
I hope that we pick up a non-con with UCLA and/or San Diego State if possible. Keep that so-cal presence going. I really like the idea of picking up another non-con in Florida over time as well. We’ll have plenty of conference games in Texas. Just think we need to keep physical presence in CA, TX, FL for recruiting.

EmersonUte replied to the topic Welcome to the B12 in the forum Football 11 months, 3 weeks ago
I hope you’re right, but my money is on BYU not becoming the most hated. You have to actually win to be the most hated. And BYU is a long ways away from that. When we went to the Pac-12 we sucked the recruiting air right out of the State of Utah. BYU will not get the same recruiting bump that we did.
So here’s hoping that we’re actually more…[Read more]

EmersonUte started the topic Additional Revenue Generation – Markets in the forum Football 12 months ago
Just spit-balling on this conference re-alignment topic. I understand that with 9 teams, we likely need to add at least 1 to keep the 9 game conference schedule. My 2 cents is San Diego State provides the best market and combination of men’s football and basketball programs.
That aside, our real problem is there are not quality additional…[Read more]

EmersonUte started the topic Best Case Scenario for Utah (Conference Realignment) in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago
I saw the worst case scenario posts below, and all the action lately has me thinking. Finally we’re getting discussion about the big power conferences possibly dropping their low performers. If its really about the product, then Vanderbilt, Rutgers, Nebraska (lately), etc should all be worried.
I believe the best case scenario for Utah is a…[Read more]

EmersonUte started the topic Chance of Keeping UCLA / USC in the forum Football 1 year, 8 months ago
So I saw the Canzano / Walton stuff and it got me thinking about if there’s anything the remaining PAC members could do to keep UCLA and USC? And how do you do it without offending Oregon – who is right there with them in terms of value?
Here’s my idea. In the new TV contract, the first 50% of revenue is split equally between all members of the…[Read more] -
EmersonUte started the topic An Open Love Letter to our Pac-12 Conference Mates in the forum Football 2 years ago
As things are changing, this Ute fan thought it would be appropriate to write an open love-letter to our conference mates, not knowing how many more times we may play them. After all, the last decade has been the best of my football life. Without further ado, my heartfelt feelings for each team:
Wazzou: The 28-27 loss to you and the Pirate was…[Read more] -
EmersonUte started the topic Big 12 vs Pac 10 – do we have preferences? in the forum Football 2 years ago
I’ve seen a lot of posts about what may happen in the B1G, SEC, Pac 12(10), Big 12 etc. So I have a question for Ute fans: what is your preference among the following choices?
1) Pac 10 status quo
2) join Big 12 with ASU/AZ/CO
3) Pac 10 + add in some Big 12 schools
4) Pac 10 + add in some Mountain West schools (SDSU, Fresno, UNLV, Boise)

EmersonUte started the topic Gratitude for Ty Jordan and the Ute Team in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago
I’m sorry to start another strand, but I wasn’t sure where this fit. I’ve had a couple of thoughts since learning about Ty Jordan’s passing. First, devastation. Devastated for his family, his friends, his football family, and for the potential lost. What a humble and talented young man. Just devastated. I’m so proud to cheer for a team that…[Read more]
