Utes 2011 Football Discussion

Good news and bad news for BYU fans. The good news is that BYU is or was being considered for the BIG 12 according to former BIG 12 Commish Dan Beebe. I know, nothing new there just good to get it confirmed from a guy who was in charge. The bad news as we know is that they are also considering Louisville and West Virginia along with Conference USA teams.

If the Big 12 has the choice between Louisville, WV, or any other Big East schools and BYU, does anyone really think BYU's invite is (still there)?

If Louisville and West Virginia accept the invitation.... No way. I don't see them going beyond 12.
 
I was definitely impressed with Hays's arm but his decision making (as expected) needs to improve dramatically. All 3 of his picks (although his first one didn't bug me as much as the other two) were because he didn't lead his receiver, to end the first half if he just throws it to the back of the endzone or the pylon it is either a TD or incomplete and his third INT on the roll out the TE was running same direction he has to know throw it towards the sideline for either a incomplete or a really nice catch, instead he throws it behind and the TE's momentum gives him no chance to make a play.
For the U's sake I hope he can realize and have it sink in before the Pitt game.

For the fumbles none are acceptable but John White's at least the D really forced the strip but on the season the WR's are not being fundamentally sound, carrying to loose and not moving the ball to the sideline arm is especially frustrating.
 
As bad as it seems for the Utes, it's not over yet. We know the Utes aren't going to be in the Pac 12 championship game, and not going to the Rose Bowl. But the toughest part of the schedule is over. Qualify for a bowl (which should be a given) and the worst case scenario is the Vegas Bowl. That was the best case scenario for the MWC, and still better than the Armed Forces Bowl that BYU fans are looking forward to.

This is a down year for the Utes. No question about that. When you lose your starting QB this early in the season, and have all kinds of injuries to the O line this early, it has to be considered a down year in any conference. So if the Utes worst case scenario is the Vegas Bowl in a down year, that's not too shabby. And it will probably be a much better bowl than the Vegas Bowl anyway.

Nothing is a given this year. Well, it's a given that we suck at QB.

I can't wait to see your posts when the Utes don't make a bowl game. I also find it amusing that the very bowl game that all of you Ute tools used as BYU Joke fodder is the very bowl that you MIGHT get into. (if you're lucky)

Carry on.

There is no back pedal here. The Utes had major injuries, including to the QB. When that happened, it became a down year for Utah.

Also, the Vegas Bowl is our worse case scenario. It will probably end up being a better bowl than the Vegas Bowl. But even if it is only the Vegas Bowl, it's still better than the Armed Forces Bowl, and not too shabby at all for a down year with major injuries, new coaches, and a new BCS conference.

Salty: The Utes are contenders.
Starting QB goes down with major injury and the Utes lose.
Salty: You have to say it's a down year with the injuries.
Trollnan: Nice flip flop.

It's not a flip flop. It's taking into account new information.
 
Trollbody, you can qualify all you want and as usual no one cares and we'll just make fun of your attempts. The bottom line is we're all on the same page now and that is that Utah sucks this year. It just took you longer to get there then most non-handicapped people.

Welcome to reality.

BYU sucks. 54-10. Utah does not suck. They just aren't on the elite BCS Bowl game level. They're still a decent team though and will start winning some games now that the toughest part of the schedule is over.

Trollbody? lol, funny, considering I'm taller than you and probably in better shape.

This is funny on so many levels.
 
BYU??? I thought this thread was about Utah. Please let's stay on topic here which is the Utes please. No need to bring up BYU all the time even though you want to. There is a BYU thread already and I'll make a thread about me if you want to keep doing that, too.

Let's recap:

Trollbody: Utes rule! They will beat USC comfortably.

(Utes lose to USC)

Trollbody: Utes still rule! They still have a shot and will blow out Washington.

(Washington blows out Utes)

Trollbody: Utes rule! They still have a shot at the Pac12 Championship and that elusive title we'll never win and anything can happen. It's a free country.

(ASU defiles Utes)

Trollbody: Utes are in a down year, but they are still decent. 0-3 in their conference and 0-3 versus BCS teams. But they are still decent. They beat Montana High School and some Independent school but they are still decent. Just you wait this is rock bottom and it can't get any worse even though I said that 2 weeks ago it still applies so there.

Not what I heard from multiple sources, Hobbit. But feel free to come by the weight room any time and we'll find out. Or you could just keep talking it up like normal.

Lets have the real recap...
Me: The Utes will contend for the PAC 12 south.
<Utes blow out Montana State, lose at USC on the last play of the game, then humiliate BYU>
BYU fans like Trollnan: <silent>
<Utes starting QB goes down with injury. Utes proceed to fall apart under the new QB against BCS bowl game caliber competition>
Me: It's a down year with the injuries but things will get better and it will still be a better bowl than the Armed Forces Bowl.
Trollnan: Uh, you're a flip flopper and I think you look like a troll's body.

Lol, and this is from a teacher. The fact that my tax dollars pay this moron to teach is a prime example of what is wrong with our government and particularly our public school system.

What are you talking about? I stood face to face with you and had about 2-3 inches on you in height. I was downhill from you and still looked down on you, lol.

I don't know what kind of shape you're in now, this was like 2 years ago. But back then, you certainly didn't appear to be in better shape than me.

I'm in my own weight room every day.

Really? What did we talk about? I talk to a lot of stupid parents so give some details please.

Someone has to pick up the slack for moronic parents whose kids can't hack it. Appreciate your contributions.

Look, you can qualify your statements all you want by saying "I'm probably in better shape than you" and "You didn't appear to be in better shape than me" and "I lift alone". Leaving yourself an out if you need it? Fine. I'm not qualifying. I am in better shape than you. There's no doubt. I'll be on the bike tomorrow about 12:30 followed by an upper body day where the weights will exceed 300 pounds at the high end (3-5 reps). If you want to come prove you're in better shape than come on. I'm inviting you and I promise not to punch out your hobbit teeth unless you start acting like a moron like here.
