Boy, this is a strong defensive showing from both teams so far. Lol

SkinyUte replied to the topic Thank God the PAC 12 invited Utah to join the conference. in the forum Football 7 years, 3 months ago
Problem isn’t just the post-season. The P12 typically tends to flame out in any big early season OOC games as well (or loses to FCS schools), which – when combined with the poor bowl showing – is just more fodder for the “weak conference” argument.
(Side note, why isn’t Falk playing for Wazzu tonight?)

There’s a tight end joke in here somewhere, but I’m too lazy to find it.

Well, reality does tend to have a liberal bias. 🙂
There were quite a few right-wing folks who I liked debating with because they brought data, thought, and actual relevance to a discussion. I actually quite enjoyed hearing and debating an alternate point of view, even if I completely disagreed with it.
Since it’s devolved into little more…[Read more]

Any insight to why politics are such a big draw on that board? Seems like it’s the same guys that post over and over and over.
I think you just answered your own question. 🙂
I used to participate, but bowed out months ago.

SkinyUte replied to the topic Net Neutrality Repealed by FCC in the forum Politics 7 years, 4 months ago
The other problem is that while the idea of competing ISPs is great, the reality simply isn’t there. Where I’m at in South Jordan, I have two options: Comcast and CenturyLink DSL. I’ve actually been happy with Comcast, but if I wasn’t, it doesn’t exactly leave me with a host of other alternatives.
I’d bet that many areas are similar, with only…[Read more]

SkinyUte replied to the topic Net Neutrality Repealed by FCC in the forum Politics 7 years, 4 months ago
Let’s give an example of what Net Neutrality actually does, shall we?
Comcast owns NBC News.
There is now nothing that could stop Comcast/Xfinity from putting a conservative news website like Fox News in the “slow lane” while prioritizing websites of properties it owns like NBC News in the fast lane. This would result in NBC News.com downloading…[Read more]

SkinyUte replied to the topic Does anyone remember the first game? in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago
Ok just looked it up. 45 yards. 35 yard line. Not a chip shot.
35 yard line would actually be a 52 yard kick. +10 for the end zone, +7 for the snap.
Gay makes it look easy, but that’s a tough kick for anyone.

I actually don’t think it was easy range. I think it was a 45-48 yarder if I remember right and he hit very good. Just barely missed.
Came in to say this. It was far from a chip shot, and he actually hit it pretty well but pulled it just a bit to the left.
And the rest, as they say, is history. 🙂

Wow, those are some really douchey mofos. Can’t wait for Utah to knock them down a peg.

i tend to agree. Those late season “bye” weeks in the SEC must be a godsend.

SkinyUte started the topic Conference strength in the forum Football 7 years, 4 months ago
I’ve heard lots of folks talk about how “weak” the P12 was this year in relation to other conferences. Made me go back and check the number of teams with winning records in each conference.
ACC: 8 teams at or over .500, 4 teams under .500
B10: 6 teams at or over .500, 6 teams under .500
B12: 8 teams at or over .500, 2 teams under…[Read more] -

I’d really like to see Wisconsin win. Urban notwithstanding, I’ve never liked Ohio State.

ESPN’s projections were less interesting.

SkinyUte replied to the topic Sounds like Todd Graham is the next pac12 HC to get canned in the forum Pac-12 7 years, 5 months ago
I’m actually a little surprised, as ASU seemed to have overachieved this year relative to expectations. Weren’t they picked as last in the South in most of the pre-season polls? Figured he probably bought himself one more year…guess not.
Can’t say I’m sad to see him go. Dude was a douchecanoe.
