The good thing is some Big 12 fans from other schools are starting to see it too. At least on X. Some have even said we were right and have apologized to us as a fan base. It was only a matter of time and it took them less than a year to show their true colors.

Very much want this one. College sports and conference affiliation in the entire Western part of the country is a terrible mess due largely to the LA schools heading to the Big10.

Agreed. This is the kind of game you just can’t lose if you want people to take you seriously, both as a team (Utah) and a conference (Big12). We only have so many chances to play/beat teams from the ‘Power 2’ (ugh) conferences.

I am with you! UCLA was not an offensive juggernaut last season but their rushing defense was in the top 5 last year in the Big10. I have no clue what our WRs will be this season and if they make us one dimensional on offense that could be trouble.

I just hope NJ can freaking catch the ball

After the last couple of seasons, I am trying to be mentally prepared for Utah to lose every game.
After the usual overdose of off-season Kool-Aid, I am hopeful that Utah will win every game.

I know reality will be somewhere in between, but hopefully the wins (and losses) are more entertaining.

I am definitely not counting UCLA as a guaranteed win. I doubt anyone paying attention (including the team) is going to overlook UCLA.

Morgan Scalley said he was interested in the candidates for OC because they did things that made life hard for defenses. I am guessing/hoping that part of that is being a bit less obvious with play calling based on certain personnel (i.e. not calling the same gadget play every time Johnson is in the game).

Beck likes to run an option play where instead of pitching to a back for the final “option,” the QB throws to a WR standing at the line of scrimmage (like a quick WR screen). It seems to stretch teams even more than a standard speed-option. I’m guessing this could work very well with Johnson out there ready to rip up the sideline if the corner starts cheating inside to help contain Dampier.

How about that package?

Absolutely they would fire Sitake first, and I never expect them to stop spending lots of money. I’m just hoping they have some bad seasons where the “investors” get a poor return. Look what happened to Texas A&M. They tried to go out and buy every player under the sun and failed to achieve anything meaningful. Now their player investment has subsided drastically. They have way more money to throw around than BYU alum, so a handful of dud seasons would do the trick in my opinion.

[PhiladelphiaUte]

They’ll fire Sitake before they stop buying players.

“Johnson”, “packages”, “hands”, “ball”

“ball in Johnson’s hands”

Hard to read all this with a straight face. Seems I am not the only immature person around here 🙂.
