SLC-UteFan

Yes he’s always rubbed me the wrong way too. I was at a spring scrimmage several years back. I decided to sit on the east side of the stadium where the offense is.

Well during the scrimmage the kicker (forgot who it was – I think it was one of the backups) missed a pretty short field goal- one he should have made. Well, just after he missed it,…[Read more]

Well that’s certainly possible. Given today’s “what have you done for me lately?” means last week only (see Zion Steptoe) practically. Anything can happen.

Following up, I don’t want to play the rival fan that puts emotion over logic (well, maybe a little bit of emotion over logic is fine haha) and claim BYU will be perennial conference bottom dwellers, like they claimed non-stop about us. I do think they can and will have some success in the Big 12. Perhaps even get to the conference championship…[Read more]

I actually think they’re going to do really well in the Big12 and recruiting will end up being better than ours.

Given that for the past several years, leaving out Oklahoma and Texas, Utah’s avg. recruiting ranking would be either #1 or #2 in the Big 12. If BYU passes up Utah in recruiting, then that is like saying BYU would have the #1 r…[Read more]

I didn’t have time to listen to the whole thing, but I did catch the part when they talked about their Utah recruitment. These guys are entertaining to listen to – they have great personalities.

Completely agree. While there are lots of issues and things to fix that the team did wrong in the game, the biggest coaching and team failure is that they didn’t want it. I don’t know if the coaches treated this like Weber State, or that they thought they would just show up and win, or whatever, but they didn’t have fire and passion.

If I were a Cougar fan, I would be careful about your own arrogance. Byu fans get arrogant pretty fast.

I mean, consider this. Byu outplayed Utah pretty much everywhere tonight. Byu wanted this game FAR more than Utah did. You could see it easily. I don’t know why Utah was lethargic and at times didn’t seem to care. Utah was soft. Byu dominated…[Read more]

I like the rivalry game. Of course, my college football beginnings go back to about 1980. I remember watching the Holiday Bowl – BYU vs. SMU with the miracle finish. That’s how far I go back.

So with that, it is a bit difficult to give up the game. Something special is in the air about the game, but that might have more to do with my nostalgia…[Read more]

“Take the high road, show some respect”

Says Cougaboard that has multiple posts a day about Utes being criminals, drunk drivers, etc.

I think you’re right – it was in a game.

That was interesting and a fun watch. Interesting that the QB zone read happened as a broken play in practice. Similar to how the QB run-pass-option was a broken play in practice with Alex Smith under Urban Meyer – although that wasn’t mentioned in the video I don’t think.

Good stuff.

The TrDS fans are always claiming our teams are on par because many of the recent games have been decided by less than two possessions.

Yup. And even when the win by Utah is greater than two possessions, their fans are making ridiculous statements similar to “Well, we gave it away. Utah didn’t really win.” Or, “The game was really much…[Read more]

It was this post that made me think OnlyU was on the staff, or at least had some kind of access to the team and games. But I could be wrong:

ONLYU

Tufua was in a few plays last night I believe. He was in full uniform…Maxs has taken the spot with the ones though so he’s not playing much. Nac…

I have a paid subscription to 247 also. Mind sending me that DM also?

I had a similar experience. Zooming into the sections – no seats to select. Tried and tried. Finally, it just decided to work, and I was able to select seats, and I got the tickets.

And I had to change my password before I could pay, also.

Horrible user experience.

I really hope 2021 is the year Utah finally gets a win at the Coliseum.

I wonder if expanding the playoffs to 8 or 16 teams might help. There are only 4 or 5 teams that recruits think will be a playoff team – those few elite playoff teams are getting nearly all of the top, elite talent. Expand the number of playoff teams, and possibly the top, elite talent will be more willing to go to, say, 8 to 12 teams (if expanded…[Read more]

Does Aaron Roderick get the OC job? We’ll see.
