I went. We won. By like 35 or so.

They started off flat and nervous but got better as the night went on. The boys play hard and are really committed on defense. Rebounding is going to be an issue. New players I liked: Worster, Jenkins, Madsen.

It was mandated? I don’t remember that. I do know that other stadiums in the U.S. have standing sections today, so it can’t be a federal law. Perhaps there’s a Utah law against it, but I doubt it.

Utah already sells SRO tickets to football games. This is just giving them a designated area.

I assume you’re referring to the Hillsborough disaster. If so, that had less to do with the standing and more to do with (a) overselling of GA tickets and (b) poor crowd control at the turnstiles. Both of those things would not be an issue at Rice-Eccles.

I have a crazy, out-of-the-box idea: Turn the SEZ into a “safe standing” area.

You haven’t heard loud and crazy until you’ve been to a soccer game in Europe or South America, and the standing-only areas are a big reason why.

I think it would be cool to be the first football stadium in America to do something like that.

This discussion about Rose Bowl scenarios is exactly what’s wrong with college football.

I actually really like the idea of the QB as a punter. Opens up the possibility of a fake punt on every 4th-and-short.

I just hope he smacks them because of BYU-Provo Campus’ own arrogance around him. He’s the second best coach they’ve ever had in their program’s history, and they ran him out of town on a rail. I hope he houses them in epic fashion just to remind them why they shouldn’t have pushed him out.

Man, that kid is <i>yoked</i> for a high schooler. Can’t wait to see what that strength would look like working in the low block.

I love every postgame video they do, but this is my favorite one yet. The little girl overdub in the video is amazing.

The evidence would suggest that “who we are” is something between what we saw in the first half and what we saw in the second half. What’s that old sports adage? You’re never as good as your best win and you’re never as bad as your worst loss.

Pub. Over there they call it a pub. 😉

A lot of people on USMNT socials complaining about the squad rotation for the Panama game. I get it, but it’s also somewhat misguided. You can’t have the same XI for 3 games in 7 days, so squad rotation is going to happen. However, there’s a beef to be made about which players rotated in. How can Hoppe and Busio have zero minutes in two games but…[Read more]

I’m reminded of the advice my mom gave me on the day I moved out of the house to go to college: “Keep calm and enjoy the ride.”

Half the profit goes to Ty Jordan fund, half goes to Aaron Lowe fund.

The only context I need is that Utah is 1-0 in league play. The team’s goals are still attainable.

Personally, I just want to be entertained. But for the sake of the team, I want them to achieve their goals…they deserve it after all they’ve been through in the past couple of years.

Agreed. ASU hands down.

7-5 is our absolute ceiling.

No. We have no absolute ceiling besides what’s in our rear view. We also have no absolute floor besides what’s in our rear view. The normally-unpredictable PAC12 is even more unpredictable this year. Each game is its own animal.

Utah could win every game left on the schedule, making the ceiling 10-2. Utah could also…[Read more]
