Sep 15, 2011Many of you have been waiting for this article. So here you go. Pac-12 versus Independent. It is going to be a good game, regardless of what you have seen out of either team so far this year. I had the chance to flip back and forth last Saturday as BYU lost to Texas and Utah lost to USC.

Utah at a Crossroads
Jan 28, 2011We find ourselves less than a week away from the 2011 Letter of Intent signing day, where all the hype surrounds a group of high school players. The Utes are at a crossroads. Will they succeed with the "week-in, week-out" schedule of the PAC? Or will they fold like a wet blanket? With the additio...
TCU crushes the Utes
Jan 04, 2011TCU came out with a tremendous offense on their home turf against the Utes on Saturday. This is the Utes first loss of the season and a painful one with so much anticipation to beat another ranked team. Utah's Jordan Wynn finished 16 of 35 for 148 yards, with one TD and two interceptions. Enough sai...
Local Media Bias
Oct 13, 2010A rhetorical question: Why does the local media constantly favor the unimpressive parochial school down south, when it has a legitimate Top 10 team right under its nose? Therein lies the problem. The UTES are only a TOP 10 team in one poll, and the local media seems to willingly disparage anyone ...

BYU Football Fires Jaime Hill Defensive Coordinator
Oct 04, 2010In an very interesting move by BYU, Jaime Hill will no longer be calling the defensive plays for BYU football, after being embarrased by Utah State on ESPN for the whole nation to see. All week all I heard was how BYU and Utah State was not a rivalry. (this of course coming from BYU fans.) I must a...
Team Riley or Team Jacob? The BYU QB Love Triangle Is Finally Over!
Sep 26, 2010And yes I did just reference Twilight in a football article! Is that bad? The truth in the matter is I hate the series just as much as I can't stand BYU football. However, I was begining to wonder why the co-QB system had lasted so long. Whether Riley getting surgery was a blessing in disguise or ...

Utah Blows Out New Mexico, Next Up San Jose State
Sep 19, 2010If you happened to miss Saturdays game, well you missed a very lopsided game. Luckily many of the voters dont watch Utah games, and just check final scores. Utah did more than just cover the spread and silence all the New Mexico has been a tough place to play for the Utes talk. They seem to have ...

Utah vs. New Mexico
Sep 19, 2010Not much to say than Utah dominated the game and did exactly what they had to in order to prepare for the upcoming BCS standings. Years past a great Utah team would winth egames they were to win, in the case of this weekend and last, they are dominating the teams thery are to beat and not playing t...
Utah Utes and National Championship talk. Can they bust the BCS yet again?
Sep 13, 2010Not to be too optimistic, but with a series of fortunate events.i.e. Virginia Tech losing to James Madison, and the Utes jumping 6 spots in the National Rankings this week. Utah could very easily find itself in the talks of yet another BCS busting year. Not to get too far ahead of our selves but...
Utah special teams, almost ruined a special night.
Sep 03, 2010All the questions people asked about how the Utes would play have been answered. Many questioned how the inexperienced line-backing core would handle the Heisman candidate Dion Lewis running game. Holding him to only 75 yards, a number he hit last year in some cases just after one quarter of play....
Pittsburgh vs. Utah
Sep 03, 2010Utah takes the first game of the season from nationally ranked (15) Pittsburgh. I had the opportunity to attend this game. It was a great game for the opener. First quarter was quite boring until Shaky Smithson decided to fumble a pass he caught. That was a real momentum killer in my book, but h...
12 Days of Football...
Aug 21, 2010On the 12th day of football my true love gave to me.a top 25 ranking.Once again the Utes have been voted in the top 25 to begin the season. The Utes have also been picked to take 2nd in the conference just behind TCU, and ahead of the team down south. It still seems almost too good to be true th...
Wynn vs. Heaps
Aug 13, 2010I am taking a stab at this. I am only beginning to do my research on this, but wanted to post some thoughts for anyone willing to chime in. When looking at the two QB's, I am trying to decide which one will be the better quarterback this year. I am not looking down the road, past this season, just...
BYU Future and the Rivalry
Jul 10, 2010So now that Utah is an official PAC 10 (12) team, what does the future hold for BYU and for the rivalry of the two schools? Mind you what I present here is my opinion and I am a guy having fun with a blog. So, let it be known, the yearly game will end. I do not see it continuing more than another...
12 pack for the PAC-12...and a trip down memory lane.
Jun 17, 2010The year was 1994, the coach was Ron McBride, the opponent was Arizonacough PAC-10The winner of the Freedom Bowl was the Utah Utes. The AP Poll ranked them 10th and the Coaches Poll had them at 8th. That year a total of 4 ranked teams fell victim to the U of U. Along with Arizona.co...
Signed, Sealed and Delivered...PAC 10 signed

Its Official...Utah to PAC-12...
Jun 16, 2010Yeah, I feel like you do right now, is it really official? There are official reposts that Utah has the invite and has taken it and has let the MWC know of intention s to leave. The MWC says they have received no calls. Utah is quiet. One report even says that USC is on board. So I am confused,...
USC trying to stop Utah from moving to PAC-10
Jun 14, 2010The change in conferences is moving fast. Everyone is waiting for the next big team to make a decision. Well, today a decision was made. Texas is staying. You know the money and TV rights must have been very good. So, what does that mean, well, it means that the PAC-10 has an opening. My sour...
Waiting, waiting, waiting...
Jun 14, 2010So everyone from the top of the state of Utah to the bottom will need to wait a bit longer. The invitation to the Pac 10 is not here yet. The invite will also have to see who jumps ship from the Big 12. If the remaining teams invited go, then it may not play well for Utah. If even one of them do...
Boise State to the MWC
Jun 12, 2010So it happened, even after all of the hoopla telling Boise they were not wanted, they really were. Why? I guess to let everyone have a positioning chip just in case. Either way, they are here and the MWC is stronger and should have an opportunity for a BCS auto bid very soon. Boise and TCU will ...
Moving Conferences, how does BYU and Utah play out.
Jun 10, 2010As the announcements come out, and BYU and Utah are not in any discussions, then all we can do as fans is wait. For sure we know the Colorado is leaving the Big 12 and will be moving to the Pac 10. Nebraska is moving to the Big 10. As for Texas, it is still on hold. There is no decision yet. So...
Questioning the Rivarly!? BYU vs. UTAH

With all the talk on expansion right now many people have started questioning what could happen to this rivalry...However, I'n not hear to question the strength of this rivalry at all, but actually to hopefully cause a riot. So get your...
More Pac-10 Expansion Talk...Blah Blah Blah
Jun 02, 2010Anyone else getting tired of all the hype of the unkown? Rumors are surfacing all over the place and yet it is nearly impossible to find a credible source. I heard from a friend of a cousin's ex fiance's sister that the Utes will be in the Pac-10 (No, that is not true). So without wasting more o...

Utes in the PAC-10
May 12, 2010Again the rumors have resurfaced! With the big conspiracy with the Big Ten trying to expand to a 14 16 team conference (all being denied right now) it begs the question...What about the Pac-10. Oddly enough I was offered a wager that the Pac 10 would announce the welcoming of the University of U...
Utah's Johnson vs. BYU's Hall
May 12, 2010Today is Max Hall, Brian Johnson comparison Day. Why, well I was wondering this morning who the better QB was. Looking at the basic stats I found and what I decided to research, I found that obviously Johnson was a better running QB, Hall was a better passing QB. Hall has more yards, passing atte...
