I thought the same thing about Pedo State’s QB Sean Clifford, then Utah made him look all-world.
UteFanatic replied to the topic TDS in the forum They So Poo Poo 9 months ago
I’ve thought and wondered about this as well. Turns out, the Big12 move was better. If we were brought into the ACC onto their current GOR, our 2024 total payout (media + other distributions) would be around $40M and marginally better each year until 2036.
Our first year in the Big12, the total payout will be around $42M. The 2025 payout under…[Read more]
UteFanatic replied to the topic Any Ute fan that thinks we'll dominate the Big12 year one in the forum Football 9 months ago
No, I don’t think we’ll dominate. Recruiting rankings put Utah in the top 3 or 4 of the conference, and I think we have a top 3 or 4 coach in the league. So anything less than being in the top 5 regularly would be fairly disappointing.
UteFanatic replied to the topic Barnes leading the QB2 battle in the forum Football 9 months ago
This is very concerning. If Barnes is beating out Johnson and Rose, we aren’t in as good of a spot at QB as we all thought. I don’t get it. We’ve been recruiting damn well at this position and we know Ludwig can develop and coach QBs. Last two starters, Huntley and Rising have both been fantastic.

Ah, yes, the “life boat” narrative. LMAO!!!
BYU fans are extremely bitter and butthurt about Utah crashing their party, and it’s causing them to act like a bunch of drunk clowns. Even other Big12 fanbases on twitter are beginning to notice the irrational angst. It’s hilarious. They’ve been trying really, really hard to run with this particular…[Read more]

That’s a BYU fan impersonating a Utah fan. One of many. It’s so pathetic.

Cougarboard members were pleading for people to email President Reese to get him to vote no on Utah. The Big12 vote was unanimous. LMAO.
BYU desperately tried for 12 years to get into the Big12 and Utah got in in 6 hours. Just amazing.

Funny to think about. But not possible. Conferences can’t just kick members out.
UteFanatic replied to the topic Jason Scheer reporting Utah to the Big 12 in the forum Football 9 months ago
This is good news, Ute fans. We’ve had our disputes with Jason over the years, but he’s been a pretty solid source during this round of realignment.
Big12 here we come!!!!!!!!
UteFanatic replied to the topic Pac12 is dead. As expected. in the forum Pac-12 9 months ago
While it’s always good to have solid leadership at every level during times like this, remember that Harlan is not a decision maker here. Realignment decisions are made by the school president and his board.
Is Harlan talking to him? Of course, but he is an advisor only.

I’d like that tweet a whole lot better if it said “Utah has applied for Big12 membership”. Lol.
UteFanatic replied to the topic Pac12 is dead. As expected. in the forum Pac-12 9 months ago
Until Utah is firmly in the Big12 with pro rata shares, there is reason to be concerned. Period.
UteFanatic replied to the topic A thought…a glimmer of hope in the forum Pac-12 9 months ago
Are you honestly implying that UW and UO aren’t leaving? They gone. We’re way past that point.
UteFanatic replied to the topic Pac12 is dead. As expected. in the forum Pac-12 9 months ago
Pro rata is only for the ESPN share. Fox didn’t have the pro rata clause. Earlier reports by Thamel indicated the league would have to “stretch and work with media partners” to make additions to 16 work, but that it would be achievable.
Why would they offer that now? Fox has no incentive to offer pro rata because they know the teams will come…[Read more]

Because they should have left immediately after CU did. It was so painfully obvious at that point what the end result was going to be.
If the Big12 invites us, they will probably offer a reduced share of Big12 media money because we are desperate now.
The school just screwed themselves.

Moving to the Big12 has been the clear choice ever since CU bolted. Let’s just hope it’s not too late. Utah’s inaction in all this has been awful. If they are relegated to the MountainPac conference, then it will be entirely their fault for not being proactive.
Not happy with how my alma mater has handled this.

Over the last week McMurphy, Thamel, and Forde have all reported that the Utah, Arizona, and ASU are priority targets for the Big12. These guys are legit. If they are all reporting this, then it’s true.
Thamel reported that Utah, ASU, and Arizona have formed an alliance of sorts. Either they all stay in the Pac12, or all move to to…[Read more]

Not trying to be a doomsday bringer, but if UW and UO go to the Big12, there is a very real possibility that Utah will be left behind in a very watered down Pac12.
This is honestly getting a bit scary. This is not the time for hubris for Utah. This is becoming an emergency situation.
