SLC-UteFan

Alex Smith is such an inspiration for all of football now. While my favorite team the Steelers lost and that sucks, I’m so inspired and happy for Alex. Actually, I knew the Steelers would lose this one – as a fan I know that team pretty well and saw it coming – so much so that I decided not to even bother watching the game (didn’t even remember…[Read more]

And the Utah players have been hearing all the garbage that BYU gets fed to them by the media. They will be ready to make a statement.

This.

This is why Utah should play BYU and would win – perhaps by 2 or 3 TDs or more. They will run their mouths like nothing ever seen before. Remember last year when BYU talked – both the fans and the…[Read more]

Ugh!

Yea there must be a hundred versions of Ute fans being horrible people.

I forgot to add to the weird things: referring to the Pac-12 as Pac10+2.

I mean, seriously, Pac10+2, Kyle having a vestigial tail, daily posts about the west concourse – the fanbase is just geeky and weird – unlike any other. I’m probably forgetting a dozen others.

but try not to project that onto everyone else that shares the same affinity for the team/school.

You make good points, I shouldn’t be painting with the widest brush possible. My friends and family that are BYU fans have been really cool – they’ve had to deal with nine-in-a-row, and have been very gracious about it. Of course, I am not one to…[Read more]

Well, he did injure himself on a kickoff. Still, I like him as a kick returner also – he is going to break one for a TD soon.

It’s funny to see the CougarBoard obsession with the Pac-12. They are so anti-Pac-12 it’s funny. We all know why. They are extremely jealous. I laugh everytime I see the occassional reference to the conference still as “Pac-10”, or my favorite, “Pac-10+2”. The envy just oozes.

Awesome! While I am obviously a Steelers fan, I would love to see the Bills win a Super Bowl also. Good for Moss!

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…..

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.
