I’ve had the exact same experience, both in the US and abroad. Mormonism is met with mostly negativity in my experience, and mention of SLC always conjures up mormonism. (Even though SLC is really no longer very Mormon lol).I’d be willing to bet the culture is a bigger factor than the snow.

I agree with you that slc should be easier to recruit to than Pullman and a few other places in the pac 12, but certainly slc is probably still toward the bottom as far as destinations in the pac 12.

I think another problem is that Utah doesn’t pay assistants as highly as other schools. So it’s more difficult for him to find and retain qua…[Read more]

I think utah matches up better with UW than with wazzu, but yes, it could get ugly. 🙈

Movement on the lines, with at least one house favoring Utah now. I feel less confident with the news that chase, dc, agasiva, and Hughes are out though. 😢

Ouch, that is awful news. 

Agreed. I was responding to sweetness to encourage him/her. I think this team has a good shot. 

The transitive property never works in these situations. By that logic we had no business losing to Oregon who lost handily to ucla who we creamed. That said, this will be a tough test but I feel good about it. I painted my toenails turquoise, Utah didn’t shave, and Tony is going to the tailgate the guardsman way. 

Uw is good but not as good as they were last year. It’s better they lose to Stanford than get embarrassed again by Bama later.

I agree with much of this, but I don’t actually think it was Whit that needed the middle finger but rather the panic-stricken fans after the Oregon game. I do like to think Whit is wise enough to understand this offense couldn’t be installed seamlessly in a single season, and he was ready to take the lumps this season for a payoff next year.

I can actually envision how Utah beats Wazzu – they are terrible on the road and our secondary is not too shabby.
We might – wait for it – even get some sacks in this game. I think Huntley will give their defense some trouble.

But I can’t see this error-prone, headcase team going in to Seattle and getting a win. I actually think UW is not as…[Read more]

According to Vegas, Carrington is ”probable” for the game. So I’m thinking we’ll see him, even if as just a decoy.

Of those options I like Utah State too. At least we could confirm supremacy in the state. Although I don’t really have anything against the Aggies, so I’d hate to see them lose as badly as they would to Utah.

From a national perspective, Virginia would be the better opponent. I’m sure Kyle would be unimpressed to be matched up against Donko…[Read more]

The same staffer that predicted a heisman for Magnum, or the one who predicted 11-1 for this season? 

They won’t announce that until about 12 days before the game st the earliest. Usually a week out

Yeah, that first quarter looked like more of the same from the last 2 games. They need to figure out how to stop coming out flat, because a team better than UCLA will pounce. But the remaining 3 quarters were pure joy to watch, apart from all the injuries on both sides.
