UteDuke started the topic How bad would losing Burgess be? in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 week, 5 days ago
Can someone please quantify for me how bad losing Burgess to TDS would be? I have heard very high praise for him in the past, some seeming to suggest that he was the real mover for Utah basketball.
I guess what I really want to know is this: As a dedicated Utah fan, is Mark Pope spurning BYU a net positive or negative in your view?
UteDuke replied to the topic Fano's in the forum Football 2 months ago
It absolutely blows my mind that it not only happened, that it happened to their top potential recruit, and there wasn’t an apology made for MONTHS. That is insane to me. Recruiting is the lifeblood of a program. How can you brush that off without a thought? Credit to Spencer though for learning from the experience, but also just laughing it off…[Read more]

I went last year, and there was a family that was entirely decked out in green Oregon gear. A couple of the more vocal USC fans razzed them a bit, but otherwise they were well received from what I saw. You should be fine in Utah gear, just be complimentary of the teams playing of course.

UteDuke started the topic Path to the Pac-12 Championship in the forum Football 6 months ago
I am feeling that the key games for the Utes to make the Pac-12 Championship and have a shot at a 3rd consecutive title will be 1) Saturday at home against Oregon, and 2) on the road against Arizona. Winning both of these games to me provides the best chances of playing in the title game. I believe a loss in either game will make Utah heavily…[Read more]

UteDuke started the topic The Ute fan feeling amid all the noise in the forum Football 6 months, 4 weeks ago
Being a Utah fan right now is like being a passenger in a car rapidly approaching a crowded intersection with a red light, and the driver hasn’t shown any signs of slowing or changing course. Nothing has necessarily gone wrong yet, but you are feeling more and more uncomfortable with the trajectory. Worst yet, the driver is totally stoic and not…[Read more]
UteDuke started the topic Imagine what it must be like to be in the DB room preparing to play Utah in the forum Football 6 months, 4 weeks ago
I had this thought today as I considered Utah’s current play style. I imagine that the game prep for the CBs and safeties of our PAC-12 rivals goes a bit like this:
Coach: “Alright everyone, we’re about to watch the film on Utah’s 3 downfield passes.”
Player: “You mean from last game?”
Coach: “No, for the season.”
Player: “So… what are we going…[Read more]
UteDuke replied to the topic Utah's QB dilemma in the forum Football 7 months ago
This is exactly the sentiment that prompted my original post. I love Cam, and I’m happy that he is on the team this year. That said, until he is the guy, let’s give our full support to the one who is taking the field. “Next man up” can’t only apply to every other position on the field. Right now Johnson is our guy. I would hope the coaches w…[Read more]
UteDuke started the topic Utah's QB dilemma in the forum Football 7 months ago
Anyone else getting extremely tired of how the QB situation is being handled? I love Cam, but if what the insiders on this board are saying about him taking the majority of the QB1 reps this last week during practice before deciding not to play, that is just insane. Johnson needs all the reps he can get. Perhaps I’m in the minority here, but I…[Read more]

If that jog was any indication of his current status, we won’t be seeing Cam on the field until at least the Cal game. I didn’t consider that he might be joking, but from our seats on that side, it did not look good.

Watch the 2020 Penn State vs. Indiana game if you need a reason to respect Glover’s decision. The resulting upset is what pushed Michael Penix Jr. into the national spotlight.
UteDuke replied to the topic Kyle Whittingham – Utah Football Press Conference 9.11.23 in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Surprised that he said they would have gone for 2 if there had only been a minute left when they tied it up. I had wondered if they might, but I generally dislike that option because it allows the opponent to kneel out the clock and win if you fail. It certainly feels like Whittingham has a strong aversion to overtime.

Appreciate you stopping by! Baylor is one of the top teams that I am excited to be allied with now. You guys are always tough, and I anticipate there will be some big games between the schools in the future! We’ll get a great preview this year in Waco!
UteDuke replied to the topic Bryson Barnes in the forum Football 8 months, 2 weeks ago
You’re absolutely right. That last thread got out of hand in a hurry. Barnes has represented the university tremendously well, and has been loyal to the program. I understand why fans don’t want him to be the starter. Utah fans have had a rough go with “try hard” QBs in the past, and I think it is that PTSD that is being brought out by the…[Read more]

Does anyone have an idea of when Trejan Bridges court case is? It has been talked about on this board that if the outcome is favorable that we might see him suit up for Utah. Any updates on this possibility?

For those that attended the PAC-12 Championship last year, what did you find to be the best ways to get to and from the stadium? I will be staying in a residential area nearby, so I have been curious if anyone has experience with any of the pay-to-park lots, taking an Uber, or using public transit. Thank you in advance for the help! Go Utes!

This guy does a fantastic in-depth analysis of Florida. He gives an overview of their positions of strength, their weaknesses, past season tendencies, and what to expect for their scheme. Loved his precision and mostly unbiased opinion.
He also goes through Florida’s schedule to predict wins and losses. If you don’t get that far, he does predict…[Read more]
