UTE98

If you look at the conference as a whole, we have underperformed.
Montana, Utah St, BYU (x3), SDSU, Fresno St, Nevada, Northern Arizona
Is this in any way a result of the skirt shortening last season? it is almost like a mini death penalty (think SMU) has spread across the conference this year. And let’s be honest Utah played less games than…[Read more]

1. I don’t think there was enough to overturn it. Did it touch the ground, yes, did he have control through the ground, yes IMO.
2. Nick Ford has a big @$$, should never play center again.
3. Team seemed to rally around Rising. Whether he is/was/will be better I don’t care. The team has more energy when he’s on the field.
3a. Brewer seems to…[Read more]

Just found this article.
Aztecs quarterback Jordon Brookshire could be out for Utah game – The San Diego Union-Tribune (sandiegouniontribune.com)
May help our defense get a confidence boost.
 
 

I think I’m taller than him and outweigh him by 50 plus pounds. 

Even though this is in the TSPP category, it is actually a kudos to BYU for getting into the Big 12.
BYU will most likely never be the football juggernaut they were under LaVell. Nope not even with the Big 12 inclusion.
However in my opinion it is an absolute coup for them in basketball. This is is the Big East when they decided to do away with…[Read more]

Oregon was the PlymOuth team to win, Arizona the only South team to lose.
Going to be a fun year, Washington has a weaker schedule. But Oregon looks like the front runner. South could be anybody but Arizona. Let the cannibalizing commence.

Offense – Kincaid, if he keeps being a threat like tonight Kuithe is going to have some competition. In fact I think the TE group as a whole was a highlight, sure there were a few drops but overall great game for the TEs.
Defense – CPIII, tonight he looked dialed in. Great hits, great plays and mixing it up all over the field. The defense oveall…[Read more]

Found this article when looking at the ESPN article. About the Pac12 would listen if others came calling.

Maybe because she wasn’t offered a job as travel agent.

Crazy, the more information comes out. Lying about false charges on a credit card, cancelling the card and email being compromised aren’t that hard to…[Read more]

At one time when I lived on the East Coast I lived close to one of our former coach’s high school buddies. He scored us tickets to the UNC game, Louisville game and often provided me a ton of inside information. Like the plan A Utah and Colorado to the Pac12 about 6 weeks before the announcement was made. Before Plan B was even in the news (Texas…[Read more]

I would like to buy either a full size or mini helmet from the Spring game. I have been keeping my eyes open to see if they would sell them. So far I haven’t seen any announcements on here or other Ute sites.
I just checked the Utah Bookstore and couldn’t find them. Any idea if the U will be selling these? I’d love to buy one and hope the…[Read more]

In striking g distance going into the last rotation. It will be tough, but it could happen!!!!!!!

Putting this in football due to Holliday Jr.
While working in Virginia, yes these stories again, I had a co-worker who recommended the following book. You might be able to get it in PDF, or possibly an audio book. The chance of picking this up in the public library is not very good. They had it available in Virginia but probably not Utah. My…[Read more]

…look very similar. They look like they could be brothers. Not sure what it is about their faces.
 
Have I officially lost it? I’ve thought this for years, but never heard anyone else mention it. So it must just be me.

Tim Patrick was targeted 79 times this year, and had 51 catches.
I couldn’t confirm this but I heard the following stat on sports radio here in Denver last night.
How many drops did Tim have this year?
 
Which of these categories did he lead the team?
Avg yards per catch (players with more than one game played)
Completion percentage on…[Read more]

I just read this article, read it until the end, but not until tomorrow. Let today be about LLTJ!
Article: Football is destroying itself
 
 

Go UTES!

Since I’m just a fan, how do you feel about Notre Dame’s talking about not participating in the CFP if they get assigned to the Rose Bowl?
This is a year unlike any other we’ve witnessed in College Football.
You’ve got the history and pageantry of the Rose Bowl, vs the California politicians, and the third part are those teams who will be…[Read more]

I couldn’t help but think of Northwestern and how we’d take the foot off the gas. 
Overall I’m happy with how the team played. I blame this loss on really poor play calling in the second half. And Kyle’s playing not to lose. Can we just once on 4th and 1 goes a Ben Moa special or sneak Kuithe up the middle of the field. 
At halftime I told my…[Read more]
