Where is the Ute Hub tailgate again?

I was there for the AF game but missed the Ariz game you mentioned. The US Army joined me that year and I had to hear about the Ariz game in boot camp.

If you don’t understand you can loose a football game even with a very good team, well lay on the floor and kick your feet. I suppose every team that has a lose now should just give up because there is no reason to believe anything is ever determined after mid September.

For others, enjoy a season of football, hope for the best and live thru the…[Read more]

Doesn’t matter much what the defense is, most important is to keep USC guessing. However, the Y had success simply keeping the secondary crowded. Have to expect USC has considered problems from last week. If they go to quick short passing, utes give a 4 man rush with crowded short zones. But USC is arrogant and will try to go long on the outside.

Offense, Moss like we have seen before vs USC, but there will be other positive surprises.

Defense, JJ will need to lead the way to stopping WRs along the sideline because the jittery QB will be afraid of the middle of the field.

ST, Covey is not quite ready unless the brace is off his knee. Punter will be fine but not used much. So it has to…[Read more]

Some of the media can’t understand, some can. The reason for that is many in the local media are Y fans. That means they can’t process doing just what is needed to win, they would be doing everything they can, every moment, trying to chase every possible statistic. They even believe Utah ran out of gas on the last drive at the Y and took a…[Read more]

I agree

I agree with Saban, he supports 10 conference games for P5 schools and P5s playing P5s. I think after the conference games, 1 G5 game should be allowed leaving 1 or 2 out-of-conference P5 opponents that can be played. If that was done, the inventory of P5 college football games would be greatly improved. The occurrence of undefeated teams would…[Read more]

I was responsible for a group that received and returned high costs, time sensitive orders over the internet without a backup methodology for an energy company. Someone caught me in the hall and asked what do we do with the internet down. Surprised, I asked what do the two ISPs have to say. They replied, no not the ISPs, the entire internet is…[Read more]

Half the teams above us have a load of 3 star folks that would be happy to instead upgrade to Utah. Average rating is more useful than sum of ratings. So many of the good recruits come to us at the end. There are the occasional early recruit like Tuttle, however Utah’s class really does not come together until November and December. And yes,…[Read more]

Best parking spot is near the most convenient Trax stop. Hands down.

New QB could be an upgrade. Very good first game.

I think they have peaked. No reason they would do better than Utah or TCU. They are a very good team however.

If I understand Ludwig, we will count the guys in the box, look at how they line up and then attack the least protected part of the defense. If they want to force us to pass, it will happen.

I’m with you, no blue during football season and ignore goofy Y fans on I-15 and walking in.

This isn’t just crazy talk. UCLA will always be the cross town rival. Dotre Dame will always be a huge national matchup. Still, USC needs to consistently chase the southern division title, required for a successful season. Utah just may become the biggest obstacle in that effort. But it takes a number of years to be remembered as team that…[Read more]

Lander could be the best of the Barton clan.

The good news is that although both Rick and Larry may be hard driving coaches that can push too much, Daniels coming back may benefit Larry much like he benefited Rick.

Also, Larry and many others coaches tend to give folks a chance to grow into a spot with the understanding that if their progress is not good enough they may need to move on to…[Read more]

Maybe but not that big a deal. Not a hill to die on. The game holds more interest than almost any non-conference game recently other than Michigan. In an era where almost a quarter of college football are cupcakes, why complain? For all its hair, the game is much better than the other 2 of choice this year. To be honest, the problem with the…[Read more]

My concern is what should happen does not always happen. Against the same DL last year they opened way too many holes against us which was probably why we so often gave up contain to plug the middle. Much speculation about why but it was there. I expect different but we need to handle their OL from the beginning to be better. Our OL did not…[Read more]
