The “AAU” requirement is a “BigTen” stipulation. Not a “Pac-10” one. The Pac-10 only required a school to have a Tier-1 Research categorization. The tdS didn’t reach that pinnacle until just last year — 15-yrs too late for the Pac-10.

When Utah finally received our invitation, neither we, nor Arizona St, had achieved “AAU” status. And…[Read more]

That comment was verbatim from an actual post on cougarboard earlier today.

Utah didn’t “pull a fast one” on ybu-p, when we were offered an invitation from the Pac-10. Nobody woke up one morning in mid-June 2010, and said…

“Wait….WHAT? Utah’s leaving the MWC to join the Pac-10??? Really??? I did NOT see that coming!”

Everybody knew the Pac-10 was interested in Utah. And everybody knew that Utah was interested…[Read more]

Correct you are Utah#1. Except that it’s the right wingnut MAGA Republicans who are the brainwashed, truth-hating, hypocrites, who will destroy anyone who disagrees with them or exposes them as the frauds they are, and then turn around and blames everybody else for the very thing they are guilty of doing.

I feel like the people who think that we’ll no longer need to rely on Cam Rising, as the reason for improvement in 2025, are missing the point. Our problem wasn’t “relying on Cam Rising”. It was “injury”. And “injury” isn’t exclusive to “Rising”.

If Dampier goes down, don’t expect his backup to flourish right out of the gate. And dual-threat…[Read more]

We’d played #7 Ariz St, #13 ybu-p, #15 Iowa St, and #25 Colo last year. You call a schedule with 4 ranked opponents “ridiculously easy”? And don’t forget that our conference schedule was 4-Home, 5-Away.

This wasn’t our toughest schedule in Utah Football history, but I wouldn’t have described it as “ridiculously easy”.

I would also like to include the players’ position coaches as well. But whether it’s the head coach, or the position coach, that player must be obligated to transfer to the same institution as that coach. Either that, or revert back to the old way of sitting out a year.

And right after admitting that he’s only whoring for clicks, he’s right back to promoting biased “hate” for the U.

VILLAIN: Is Utah the Big 12’s MOST HATED School, or Does BYU Just Paint Utes as Expansion Bad Guy?

I don’t know where he’s getting his poll statistics, but if this is for real, it’s most likely a push poll from his own site, and…[Read more]

In this link, you’ll find Jake Toll openly admitting that he only posted that fake news story to get clicks.

It was clearly written by some zoobie troll. Every Ute fan remembers that it took the Pac-10 6 months to properly vet expansion, Utah, all other expansion candidates, and the distributing media networks. Utah fans were also able to follow along with all the extensive media reports from reputable media sources (i.e. ESPN, CBSSN, The Salt Lake…[Read more]

Was this guy one of them??? I think we could use him!

Well I guess that’s not too surprising. After all, ybu-p had built their brand by beating up on smaller schools.

I don’t know. I personally love the interlocking U look.

Davies knocked up TWO coeds? I thought it was just some volleyball player down at Arizona St.

I was really hoping Andrews would have worked out in the RB room. With our current group of under 200-lbs scatbacks, we could have really used a powerback among them.

Thanks for cleaning that up Tony, but you’re on vacation right now. So enjoy yourself, and do it later. You’ve earned it!

Can’t hide from the “numbers” either. Although they’ll try. Over here, they’re consoling themselves by dismissing the veracity of a CNBC reporting showing the value of University of Utah’s athletic department continuing to rank above ybu-p’s.

That sounds like the sort of “small victories” zoob nation is famous for inventing. And similar to zoob nation’s tradition of celebrating premature victories, it’s not necessarily entirely accurate either. Smith could conceivably go on to lead some other weak program, that the tdS might schedule in the preseason as one of their traditional body…[Read more]

I had that very same feeling LAST year. In fact, I’d predicted 2024 was going to be THE year, all the way back in 2022.

And then we lost our QB in ’23 and ’24.

And now, the guy we got coming in for ’25 is a less talented version of the guys we’d had back in ’03, 04, ’08, ’12-’15, ’19, ’21, and ’22.

Just because we got a new guy, that doesn’t…[Read more]

Not a fan of firing a coach “midseason”. Should have waited until after the final buzzer.
