EmersonUte replied to the topic Welcome to the B12 in the forum Football 1 year, 8 months 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 1 year, 8 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, 11 months 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 2 years, 5 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, 9 months 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, 9 months 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)
I…[Read more]

EmersonUte started the topic Gratitude for Ty Jordan and the Ute Team in the forum Football 4 years, 4 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]
