SLC-UteFan

Demari Simpkins (I think it was him) said something in the post game interview. He said everybody was yelling at Shelly in the second half, and put way too much pressure on him instead of telling him that they were going to help him.

Not sure what that means, but thought it was an interesting comment.

Same with me.  The all red uniforms in the Vegas Bowl were my favorite.  Something about all red that just seems more intimidating, and stands out so much .

This.

He wants a “pass-first” offense, and Whitt wants a “run-first” offense.

It seems that I remember somebody posting about a year ago that claimed to have some inside knowledge that Taylor wasn’t happy at Utah. But, who knows. Lots of people claim to have inside info. And the pass/run offense is just speculation also. So, who knows, but it is…[Read more]

They trash the Pac-12 but they would give anything to be in it. 
They trash Kyle for choosing Utah over BYU, but they would love to have him as their coach.  
And, of course they trash Utah while losing 8 straight to them.  Not to mention that every game they lose to Utah is filled with a list of would of, should of, could have, (i.e. if Kaufusi…[Read more]

Amazing how Washington can average exactly 332 pounds on the Oline year after year. And how Washington is expected to win 34-17 every game they play.

Whitt yesterday was asked the question if they are already looking forward and preparing for the championship game. He gave an emphatic “NO”, saying they are 100% focused on BYU right now.

The amazing thing is I remember attending several spring scrimmages then and I remember thinking that our kickers absolutely sucked. I think Gay was one of them – can’t remember exactly. I can’t remember if Chayden was one of them (was he on a mission? – can’t remember.) Amazing the progress Gay has made. 

I wonder if they tried to do the fake Covey punt return, like they did in Oregon in ’15. I thought I saw Covey act like he was receiving a punt only the punt was fielded by another Ute away from Covey – I forget who. 
I am not totally sure this was the case  as it happened quickly and I only saw a split-second of it. 
Regardless, if so, it didn’t…[Read more]

A desperate team can be dangerous. Plus, they need a win, to become bowl eligible. 

“The key to life is low expectations.”
There is a scarry amount of truth to this . At least when it comes to things you have no control over. 

No wonder onlyu said he didn’t have the mental ability to compete. 

This.  The play of the defense solidified this today.  Asu had something like over 530 yards or something like that. Seriously the D got pushed around and plain just got thier butt kicked. 
The offense wasn’t much better, but with Huntley out I can sort of understand . But the defense seriously made the team look like a 6 – 6 team ..if even that…

I think always having caution to Utah’s success is wise, while allowing ourselves to have fun and celebrate recent success.
  Each week gives another week for teams to figure out how to play Utah.  For example, the bunch formation on offense is new and the teams that faced it didn’t really know how to defend it fully.  But 4 or 5 games of it on…[Read more]

All depends on Huntley staying healthy.  

I’d love to see Utah win, but I have a hard time seeing a great team like Stanford losing 2 in a row. Maybe – Utah matches up better against Stanford than against WSU and Washington, but I have my doubts Utah gets a win.

A few funny responses in the comments to the tweet:
“Can we PLEASE end the use of the term Cougar/Coug. Its a disgusting term that reinforces patriarchal stigmas against womyn who r attracted to younger men.”
 
“UW needs to stop using Husky because it’s insensitive to young boys who wear husky size jeans.”

I know some people won’t like what I have to say, but I enjoyed watching this game. Not because I like BYU, but because I just like it when a significant underdog beats another team by playing smashmouth football .I mean Wisc was supposed to dominate the LOS, but they didn’t .
I like Kilani a lot and am happy for him. As for BYU, I don’t like them…[Read more]

TROLL.

This guy comes around whenever Washington is playing, essentially posting the same thing over the years, going as back as far as 2014 on multiple…[Read more]

“This game plan has been a masterpiece!”
 
I remember that quote by the announcer. Forgot about that. 

Huge play. Given that Big 10 power teams like Michigan are known for superb Oline play and recruiting, that makes it a huge play!
