Double Moo sent this to me. He got it from a family member who lives in the L.A. area.
******, ******* and I had dinner last night with Kyle Wittingham, Norm Chow, and Chris Hill
Utah's QB situation is still extremely shaky at best. Jordan can't stay healthy and without a good solid QB Utah is going no where...
....That....
and I've yet to hear a coach at this point in the season say "yeah, we got a real shitty team for the coming season".... at this time of year every football coach in the country is farting rainbows. :haha:
Of course...especially at an alumni dinner.Quote:

This Pac-12 media rights deal with ESPN and Fox is the richest in college history and tops the SEC deal. Larry Scott is a genius.
I cant wait for Football to be back. :stud:
Remember this!?

I hope so...I HATE USC!!!
Looking forward to watching this kid play
Curious, (Colorado State graduate here) is there pressure for the University of Utah to form a rivalry with University of Colorado? Both new teams to the conference, geographical proximity, etc. Or will Utah keep scheduling games against BYU as its traditional rival (This is kind of what CU and CSU do since they aren't in the same conference)?
My 2 cents... The PAC 12 is hoping Utah and Colorado form a rivalry. Back when folks still rode dinosaurs to the game they were rivals in the old Skyline conference. If you look at how many times Utah has played a particular opponent you will see Colorado near the top of the list (top 3 if I remember correctly).Quote:

And I expect BYU will fade as a major opponent and rival for Utah for a number of reasons. For one the game will no longer carry the importance to Utah, it is now basically a preseason game. I don't see the match-up being yearly in the not to distant future because of Utah's conference schedule they will need to drop BYU some years to schedule other major programs. And honestly, the way the BCS is setup its not in Utah's best interest to play BYU every year, you need some cupcakes on the schedule. I wouldn't be surprised to see Utah alternate years between playing BYU and Utah State. At least until the current BCS system meets the end it deserves.
YMMV
i don't think utah and byu stop playing. my guess is that they will be the first game of the season every year now... both universities have expressed interest in continuing the rivalry.
rest of your post sounds about right. except that USC won't give a sh!t about the utes. that's a one way rivalry my friend... :lol8:
FWIW: if you follow Utah football you may have noticed the athletic department has already sent up the trail balloon about not playing BYU every year. That is why I think you will see it become every other year somewhere down the road.
Interesting... in theory CSU is supposed to be an 'easy' first game for CU every year, but because the rivalry is so heated when CU loses it looks pretty bad for them.
The BCS is a pretty crazy scheme; I always felt bad for Utah not getting respect in the MWC and I had hoped eventually the MWC would either join or be fundamental in destroying the BCS.
Either way I won't mind watching Utah beat CU once a year and I hope to see Utah succeed in its new environment!
To become a rivalry the game has to mean something special. For CU and Utah to become rival's they will need to meet several years in a row where the game decides the Southern Division. Or have one of the teams keep knocking the other out of contention in the Southern Division, otherwise it's just anther game IMHO.
IMO, as mentioned. Utah is going to have less and less to play for against BYU. I hate to say it and see it potentialy end, but who has more to gain (BYU) and who has more to lose (Utah)?
Gotta say I like looking at this page this year: http://espn.go.com/college-football/...-12-conference
Who will be at the Utah game this Thursday?
It's game day bitches!!! :rock::banana:
I'll be there - not having a productive day work. I am looking forward to an excellent evening at RES.
Getting ready to head up the hill... :ute_helmet:
Montana State? Did they steal someone off BYU's schedule?
Utah for the win!!!!

Very sad news.
--
Ron Tongaonevai's wife dies in wreck
SALT LAKE CITY -- Team officials say the wife of a Utah football player was killed in a car accident about 90 minutes after the Utes' game against Montana State.
The team released a statement saying Janelle Tongaonevai died about 10:30 p.m. Thursday in West Valley City after Utah beat Montana State, 27-10.
Ron Tongaonevai is a junior defensive lineman from West Valley City. The couple was married in the summer of 2010.
The team is planning to go ahead with postgame meetings Friday but says no players or coaches will be available to the media out of respect for the Tongaonevai family.
A team tribute and funeral plans are in the works and will be announced later.
Coach Kyle Whittingham says in a statement that everyone's thoughts and prayers are with the family.

man Utah looked like the poops vs Montana state...Better hope Wynn can actually throw the ball a little better than his 2 yard td passes. USC next week @ USC, time too see what the Utards are made of this year. Utah was favored by 29 pts, glad I didn't bet on this one.
I'll be in Trojan country... :popcorn:
The betting line is out..... Utah is a 10 point dog to USC. :cool2:
I think Utah is a pretty good bet. I don't see them getting blown out with that hard hitting and speedy D. And USC's offense wasn't very impressive in their first game.
It should be fun!

Yeah baby..... I just tapped the keg and started preparing the babyback ribs for the Q.... I can't wait for kick-off.
:2thumbs: Go Utes!
Sitting outside the stadium in LA eating lunch. Lotta Utah Red around. GO Utes!
I'm jealous. Wish I had been there. It was a great way to welcome Utah to the Pac12. Fight on!!:2thumbs:Quote:

Sure people joked here and there but I expected much worse. Everything has been pretty classy. And half the people showing class are my 13-15 year old students...that's impressive.
Is it due to the conference change? Totally lopsided score? Whatever it was I thought Utah fans were much classier winners this year than any other year I've witnessed.
FYI - I know BYU fans can be crappy/classless winners as well. This is meant as a 100% sincere compliment to Utah/Utah fans. No backhanded intentions.
Yeah not sure whats up, but I have witnessed the same thing. Gotta be the lopsided score. The Utes had mercy on the Cougs at the end and could have scored again. They took a knee near the end and even gave it back near the redzone. The backups came in with half the 4th left too...yadda, yadda.Quote:

OWND!!!
5 turnovers? Yikes! ASU next week with a JC QB. Going to be ugly.
And Wynn was actually looking pretty good in the first half...

Not bad. He was only responsible for one turnover and when he left it was a 3 point game.Quote:

I definitely feel that we beat ourselves in that game. You can't turn the ball over 3 times in the red zone and expect to win. Not to mention once in their red zone second into the game! Oh well, onto AZ state...
