We don’t play Oregon

Utah will be a different team at home. WSU will be a different team on the road. Utah wins by a TD. O/U 80 points.

Yes, and then they do a bad reboot on YouTube 20 years later.

Yep. The annual student-athlete compliance training coincides with the beginning of the school year, so we all just went through it a couple weeks ago.

A lot of talented but young/inexperienced players struggle on the road and play lights-out at home. That’s the concern. You say he’s not going to become a different player over 1 week, but he sure became a different player over the 1 week between the Stanford and BYU-P games. Unless you think BYU-P is a better team than Stanford, the only other…[Read more]

Live video of Mike and Bill driving to the game…

Nailed it. This is exactly why polls can never work in football. Human polls don’t work because they are based on emotion and bias. Computer polls don’t work because the sample size is simply too small, even at the end of the season.

Yeah, after the win, get out of LA as fast as you can. Go to San Diego.

I love our chances too. But what’s going to give me the runs on Friday is that freshman QB. Like many other talented freshman QBs, I’m afraid he’s going to struggle on the road but be a world-beater at home. So many talented freshmen roll that way.

In short, I’d be much more comfortable with containing the QB if we were playing SC at home.

So…[Read more]

First time interacting with Utah fans?

I’d say 95% chance Shelley enters the portal. He seems to be mentally disengaged. Can’t opine on Lisk until the end of the season when we’ve seen Ludwig’s entire playbook.

Without breaking a sweat, huh?

Personally, I’m nervous as hell about this game. Their freshman QB has plenty of talent but he lacks experience. Usually guys like that are world-beaters at home and struggle on the road. And that’s what we’ve seen with Stovis so far. Unfortunately he’s back at home this week, and the whole USC team will be pissed…[Read more]

Easy…

Utah over Air Force, 1995. My first ever Utah game in person. That was the game where Utah scored something like 21 points over the final 90 seconds to win the game.

I had just moved out to Utah from California after high school, and that game was the day I moved into my dorm room. My first ever time living on my own, my first ever Utah…[Read more]

If it does pass in CA, the NCAA will sue and it will be tied up in court for years. By the time it’s out of court, the CFB television bubble will have burst and the landscape will be totally different anyway. So, for me, it’s way too early to worry about it.

Plus we’ll all probably be dead by the time anything meaningful happens on this front. 🙂

I was at work when someone broke the news. Eventually someone dragged out a TV and the whole company gathered around to watch. Every once in a while somebody tried to go do some work, but it was pointless. The office was empty by 3:00.

A week later I had to take a flight with our production manager, a Sri Lankan Buddhist who had emigrated to…[Read more]

This might be a good time to post this: The greatest article The Onion has ever written. NSFW (written language)

Report: Danny Ainge got tons of ***** at BYU

Yeah, darn that stupid, astronomically-high red zone efficiency! 😉

Just once this week, I’d love to see us have 2nd and 4 on the 31 and have Kyle trot out the field goal team to get our kicker some experience.

I was a little confused by your post. Your first sentence stated that you think BYU-P may upset USC this week…and the entire rest the paragraph was about why they won’t. Oh well.

Anyway, I’m definitely pulling for USC to win big this week. I want them thinking they’re all that so maybe they go on cruise control mentally. If they lose, they’re…[Read more]

I guess if you don’t like it, start your own tradition and see if it sticks.

Welcome to Utah fandom – we’re glad you’re here. I should probably make you aware that there’s a segment of our fanbase that can’t simply appreciate a win, or acknowledge that there’s also another team out there who wants to win and sometimes does good things.
