Official Utah Utes Football 2012 Thread

[Duck Rodgers]

I honestly and truly think there is no way our O-line holds off USC's D-line. They were just scary to watch yesterday.

USC's line is all young pups too, so that was really game 1 for them as a unit. They'll be much better when they play Utah. Barkley and Co are still what should put real fear into you though. He just spot throws now. Just puts the ball wherever he wants. It's beautiful. I know you guys are really SC fans at heart too. We all are. Just remember not to clap too loud for them when they come to SLC. You'll want to. Hold it in.

When did I ever say that it was ok in 1984? I would have loved to have had a tournament in 1984 to decide who was and who wasn't champion.

I think I've firmly established my hatred for polls and computers. Let the players decide who is champion.

What hypocrisy is being shown here? Due tell

Are you saying that you have never, ever, touted BYU's "National Championship" from 1984 to a Utah fan?

Does the big east maintain it's automatic bid? If not, then what does Boise gain?

In your attacks against BYU you ignore the fact that college football is the least progressive sport out there. It doesn't reward good teams like every single other sport does.

Polls and computers should NEVER determine championships. Being tied at the hip to some conference should never be a determining factor. Just look at the embarrassment that last year's PAC-12 championship was. UCLA wasn't even in the same league as Oregon.

San Antonio would have never been while the Knicks would have a dynasty.
Green Bay? Would never even sniff the Lombardi trophy while the Jets and Cowboys would constantly be in the hunt.

Let the players decide championships. Not polls and computers.

Break down all conferences now and let them duke it out in a 32 team playoff.

How good were the Utes in 04? 08? We'll never know because we didn't have a tournament like everybody else does.

Stupid.

Again, stop crying. The new playoff system will be introduced in 2014. 32 teams would be stupid and insane. You don't add that many games to a college football season.

Why would I tout anything to a Utah fan? It's not like Utah has won anything either.

Not having a playoff system prevents us from finding out who the champ truly is.

Yeah, I know about this new "playoff" system. Still sucks. 4 team playoff. yipee. YOU GOT ME THERE! LOL

Still not even close to satisfactory.

It's hilarious to watch the flip flops from little brother fans here. A few years ago the BCS was corrupt and evil. Now that you're a part of the evil empire, you're actually defending the BCS. Now you have folks like trigg having orgasms over a 4 team playoff. LOL

How can you see 5 feet in front of you with this stinky cloud of hypocrisy hanging over your head?

Gotta go with at least 8 team playoff before I give the NCAA any credit.

Answer the original question, please. Better, yet... let's change the original question since we're doing this again.

Are you saying that you have never, ever, touted BYU's "National Championship" from 1984... to anyone?

You guys open odds at -7 USU this week. I bet that raises at least a few points as the week goes on.

Seems low. This game scares me for sure though.

 

[pickledXgrandma]

Im actually pretty scared about this game

 

[leftyjace]

Wow. I just went over to the BYU thread and read up... looked at the fact they had 25 pages, and was like, what the hell?

And then I realized that 1/2 their thread is UGLI giving 'em crap, and I didn't feel so bad.

So, going over the Northern Colorado game again... was anybody else really impressed with Jake Murphy? He is a solid TE. I'm pretty tickled that he didn't listen to his Dad about where to go to school.

The other standout? Joe Kruger. Dude is an animal. And the fact that he intercepted a ball and ran it back for a TD was pretty darn cool. I think he's going to be a formidable force this season - a good complement to Star when all is said and done. And he's a Junior... even better.

I'm very tempted to drag my *** up to Logan on Friday and take a shot on some scallper's offerings....the 4-5 hours of driving is the only reason I'm even debating not doing so. Do they have a pretty decent scallping contingent there? Or should I just buy tickets beforehand if I end up going?

You can just get tix for like $35 on their website. Unless its sold out.

 

[leftyjace]

I won't be able to go... as I'll be in San Francisco watching the Giants and Dodgers for a couple of games. But any of you Ute fans that head up to Logan... cheer loud! REPRESENT! And... don't storm the field, whatever you do. How embarrassing that would be. Wow.

It's not. But there's always two kinds of scalpers, those looking to fetch higher prices and those looking to unload. The latter show up at any event. I just figure it might get closer to being sold out as gametime rolls around since I probably won't decide if I'm going or not until that morning + I don't really want to sit in that general admission area they have which is probably where most of the available tickets will end up being. A little pre-game negotiating with a scalper always warms my heart. I've never been to a place that doesn't have scalpers so I'm sure I'll be fine if I go that route.

Still waiting for an answer. But hey - if the question keeps the troll away, it can go unanswered for all I care.

I've been in Cache Valley for 20 years and until last year there wasn't a scalper around Romney Stadium. I'd just get a GA ticket off the website.

How's the fog you're making treating you?

You're fogging up your own glass? What's so cute about that? Did you draw a frowny face?

Next two games should be good ones. Close and rivalry games. I think the Utes cover 7 in Logan.
