UTE98 started the topic Geographic nuances in the forum Misc 2 weeks, 2 days ago

There are several geographic regions in the US which overlap.

Rust belt, Midwest, Deep South, plains, Pacific Northwest, etc.

When I lived in Virginia I told someone I was from the intermountain west and they said I made it up. Anyone else have a more localized region many may not be aware of?

I was thinking about this because I am biased to…[Read more]

PAC 12 conference games trumped non-conference. I am more excited about the UCLA and WYO game than conference games. I’ll probably go to the WYO game.

Not my conference.

You forgot to mention the scenery around Buhl and Gooding. There is also a restaurant which serves sturgeon over towards Hagerman. It was closed when I last went through there.

Does Caleb Lohner still have basketball eligibility? He can come after the NFL season.

Phillip Lindsay was on 104.3 The Fan here in Denver on Tuesday and he was pissed. Not for himself, but he said since Deion showed up prior legends don’t feel comfortable up at CU. Lindsay then went on to say he’d talked with numerous prior legends at CU who have not had their jerseys retired and they are not happy. He commented Rick George the…[Read more]

What’s up with Zach Keller? Quietly got 8 points, 3-3, and 2-2 from 3pt range. He’s a local kid and I think he has potential, was Smith just not the right coach for him? Or is he just getting lucky?

UTE98 started the topic I may be biased, however if we pull off the Jensen/Miller coup I'll be happy. in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 months, 1 week ago

It’s not hard to know where my allegiances lie, my icon, my moniker, and I remember graduating with Andre Miller.

At the time I often spoke with a girl who worked in the athletic program and gave me insight into the basketball program.

While Andre Miller was a Prop 48 recruit, he absolutely nailed it at the U. Nobody outworked him on the floor…[Read more]

My two cents on politics.

If I had the same experiences as you, I’d probably think like you do. Maybe I do.

Does anyone really believe the vitriol of politics won’t spread to other topics on the board. If someone takes issue with your political views they may start a witch-hunt on all your posts. I think that happened on the other Ute board. I…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic Press Conference today in the forum Football 5 months, 4 weeks ago

If it’s the same Whitt from 2023 and 2024 I’m with you. Can he allow his OC to run the offense? I have my doubts, the image of him looking indignant at Urban Meyer’s/Mike Sanford’s play calling on offense a couple times during 2004 are burned in my mind.

Far too often a would be hall of fame coach hangs on too long and mires in mediocrity.

Both just saw what Utah’s team used to play like. I watched a bit of the Colorado game, rooting for Colorado. And I kept thinking, this defense doesn’t look right in blue. Reminded me of what Utah used to play like on defense and in bowl games.

Or the easy answer, Deion and Whitt, no longer in their prime.

I know it’s a dead horse, but I got to thinking yesterday. Since we often heard about how Ludwig’s offense was Pro-style, and took three years to learn… Why didn’t Utah have more NFL QBs? BJ, didn’t stick, Cam isn’t making it, Snoop progressed but wasn’t a sure thing in the NFL and went undrafted. What other QBs did Ludwig have which DID NOT…[Read more]

Ever wonder if you’re crazy? I did when I read about those wanting Wilson back and how he’d fit in Beck’s offense. Rose is a much bigger running threat than Wilson, I’d take Bottari running over Wilson. At this point I almost would take Cam over Wilson, and the door is slammed shut with Cam for me.

Cautiously optimistic Whitt will be more open to…[Read more]
