I was at that game. Heartbreaker. But Travis Wilson was a gamer – he had some really good timely runs that kept Utah in it. I remember the Beavers doing some funky stuff in the first half that confused Utah’s O-line. Adjustments were made, and Travis was let loose and got Utah back in it. He had a few bad turnovers, but did enough to win, IMO. The…[Read more]

“Wow! Wow! Wow!” – Fox Sports commentator Darryl Johnston after Utah goes up 21-0.

This just might be the most memorable comment for me in all of Utah sports. I just get goose bumps when I recall it.

Hmmmm…..

What if some CB has already signed and is already a Ute? Would that make your day better? pic.twitter.com/LXGVFnvLTZ

With the bad field reports, and the rain, I hope it doesn’t end up like this: (anybody remember this game? A 3 to 0 final score).

I believe there was a time a few years ago when the Pac12 ensured that no team played another team in conference that was after a bye unless both teams had a bye. Too bad they don’t do that anymore.
Because of this, I am having doubts about beating Washington. Especially after they lost. Losses can be a motivator for teams to wake up, fix some…[Read more]

I hope the team practices in the sprinklers if need be to prepare for this. Remember when RichRod did just that in 2014 – had the team practice in Arizona with the sprinklers on? They won in that wet game at Rice-Eccles 42-10 with Utah committing 4 turnovers.

I thought I heard from last night’s Wash St. / UCLA game while watching the game that the defensive line of Wash St averages only 270 pounds. However, when I thought I heard that I wasn’t fully paying attention and I might not have heard that, or heard it wrong. Can anyone confirm?

If correct, then I think Utah can control the game and keep them…[Read more]

I was at work. We had a TV in the break room. It was on all day.

I’ll never forget one guy that worked with us – he was a Muslim from Pakistan. When the first tower was hit, we stood around the TV in the break room watching it – we all thought it was just a plane accident. But this guy from Pakistan, who was normally very sociable, isolated…[Read more]

Yeah worries me too. But we’ll have a few games of film on them that Stanford doesn’t. Hope that helps a bit.

BYU fans are already gloating like they won last year

They are gloating like they have already won this year also. I’ve never seen them so confident. Not even close.

I am not so arrogant to think Utah winning is a sure-given thing. Still, anything can happen. But I do think it will take BYU being +3 or more in turnovers, plus a bunch of bad…[Read more]

That 2013 game has one of my favorite Ute moments in the rivalry. Check this out – when Utah went up 13-0, was when we knew it was going to be a win. In the video here, you see the touchdown play, and Travis Wilson flashes the U sign to BYU fans. That along with ESPN’s brilliant move of playing that Parachute (Higher) song was perfect – I love…[Read more]

54-10.

Funny thing is, I didn’t watch that game live. For some stupid reason, I thought Utah would lose that game, so we decided to do something else instead. My wife and I decided to go to Rocky Mountain Raceway that night, and I would record the Utah/BYU game and watch it later when we got home if Utah won. Well, we heard about the blow-out…[Read more]

The backup running backs should be good, but there is definitely a drop off from Moss. My biggest concern with backups will be ball control. You know BYU will be out to create turnovers – they probably know they won’t win without them, and with inexperience at the running back position should Moss not play, that will be a concern. Still, Utah…[Read more]

You’d think Google would penalize for it. I was curious, so I asked my brother, who is a Google SEO expert. He’s been doing it for as long as anybody in Utah, and it is a major component of his business, which markets web sites, branding, SEO, etc.

He said something like the following:

Google rarely punishes websites any longer unless you’re…[Read more]

Ya! Works for me. It was broken but now is fixed.

I too, am a software engineer. Been doing it since ’94, where I graduated from the U of U with a CS degree – so I have 25 years of experience writing code. So, I too, appreciate the hard work to keep this site going. People who don’t write code, have no idea of the complexity and time required to…[Read more]

I will be excited to see how Devin Lloyd turns out at LB. I think we might be pleasantly surprised. I saw him close up after the spring game, and wow, he caught my eye – he definitely looks the part. I thought, “man I would hate to have him chase me down!”. I am sure it will take some time for him to catch on, but Scalley will utilize him well I…[Read more]

BYU’s Empey was a freshman all-American and was recently rated one of the top rated centers for this season, although I forget which publication rated him as such. Hoge is their other olineman. He’s solid also. A former Notre Dame 4* commit who transferred to BYU. I don’t know much about either other than what I posted here. But with that, Hans’…[Read more]
