    Tater Zoobs, Pac12, Gary Andersen and more....

    by AggieSports

    Hey everyone, long time no post, but I certainly drop in now and then to read and get the Ute Vibe.

    Gotta say, I am loving the new nickname "Tater Zoob". Couldn't agree with your\ more. Keep working that angle and make it stick. Not sure if there is room in the MWC for both BYU AND BSU egos! Excited to see them "butt" heads against each other.

    Was VERY excited to see the invite for Utah to the Pac-10(12)! Hearing all those thuds in Provo at the bottom of tall buildings all the way up here was music to my ears...you still hear a thud now and then late a night when it's quit. This is a great thing for the entire state of Utah and just HUGE for your sports programs and school in general. Congrats. I really hope we continue to play both football and basketball, but realize football may be tough now. We do have a contract for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. We'll just have to see how it works out. Basketball would be great! Stew would actualy be playing a BCS program in OOC every year! LOL!. Anyway, two thumbs up on having everying in order that legitimately warrented your invite.

    I've thanked you before, but I'll thank you again for Coach A. After one season, the WAC coaches voted Utah State to come in 4th in the WAC this year. And that is without Turbin playing at all this upcoming season. That is a group of coaches showing a lot of respect to what Coach A. is getting done up here. All the fans up here just love him. Some quick numbers.... 17 players on the team from Utah the year before Coach A. came to town. Up to 45 now. 3 Polynesian players before....up to 17 now. Missionary system is in place and now active. It's stuff like that that get's me excited. My hope is that once we start going to bowls, he sticks around. My guess is that boosters will come up with the money and put it on him if he wants to stay or leave. We can always hope he is our Stew Morril of Football, though not likely (as far as staying so long).

    Will miss having the football game the next two years. Make the most of it and kick Notre Dame's arse! Looking forward to having you back in the comforts of the Spectrum this December. Noticed the game is scheduled when school is out. Don't know how you scored that, but it can't hurt. Still should be a chaotic event. Boylen has his work cut out for him now, eh? One year to get up to speed will be tough.

    Best of luck in your last year in the MWC. Best of luck in the PAC12. I'll be cheering you on!

    Civility in Rivalry part II

    by BaldHatu
    2010-07-28 19:01:16

    Look, I agree that rivalries should be rivalries and therefore not sweet little get togethers. That said, all to often too many of us go overboard and need a swift kick in the balls. Case in point here is my experience with a couple young 20 something Ute fans last year WHO WERE AT THE GAME WITH THEIR MOM & DAD mind you...

    During last year's game in Provostan I had to endure listening to some dumb ass scream vulgarity upon vulgarity at anything and anyone wearing blue. The guy was wearing pearl earrings in the event the stupid $#!+ is reading this he will know who I am talking about... PEARL EARRING - what man does that!?!?!? I digress...

    I am no prude, and likely have a worse mouth than most on here, but I don't need to hear some jackrabbit scream "you are a f#@cking mormon p#ssy" at the top of his lungs every 3 minutes (no exaggeration).

    Further, I am a deist and therefore really subscribe to no religion... That said, even I know it is in very poor taste to scream (after the p#ssy comments) that "ain't no Jesus going to save you f#ckers now!!!" either.

    After listening to this for the better part of the 1st quarter I asked the asshat(s) to shut up since I, and others, were there with our kids. The response we got was to "shut my bald headed mother f#cking mouth" because they paid for their tickets and therefore could do and say "whatever the f#ck they wanted". That elicited me and some comrades to get a little face to face time with the punks. Mom and dad sat idle the whole time and never intervened - truly a classy family.

    Bottom line, I don't like BYU. I don't like the group think mentality that roots there, nor do I like their self righteousness and the ignorance that it breeds and is often times demonstrated (painting with a broad brush I know)... That said, the type of aforementioned vitriol and vulgarity has no place and deserves an ass-kicking.

    So, keep the rivalry, keep it intense, and most of all have fun with it. BUT, it should never go over the top. If you are one of the described "Ute Fans" I want you to be no part of this fan base and I don't want your ass in a seat representing MY university.

    I think Coach Whitt's wife and daughter would agree too given their experience with the other side.

    A true gem from wikipedia

    by Bored Elite
    2010-07-28 14:27:25

    I know that anyone can edit anything they want on wikipedia but whoever added this little gem in the BYU football entry really hit on the head how BYU fans think.

    Oklahoma finished the 2009 season unranked and a disappointing 8-5 record -- but it remains one of the biggest wins in BYU's history anyway."

    Well considering their biggest win in history was against a 6-6 team, I can see where they are coming from.

    Larry Scott said an interesting thing on College Football Live today...

    by Regal Ute
    2010-07-28 17:06:00

    The discussion was centered upon the PAC 10 having a difficult time with exposure on the east coast simply because of the time difference (3 hours).

    Larry immediately acknowledged that it was an issue and that by going into the Mountain Time Zone the conference now had more flux in what they could do. Do we take from that that Utah and Colorado home games would have a better chance of being broadcast nationally simply because they can start earlier for the east coast viewers?

    The Mountain West is widely considered the best non-AQ conference--a reputation it didn't have ten years ago.

    by PandaUte
    2010-07-28 14:02:04

    The conference profile is as strong as ever, revenue is up, and the competitive gap between itself and the BCS conferences has significantly narrowed.

    That said, I have never understood the animosity towards Craig Thompson.

    The TV deal? I'll concede it was a huge risk leaving ESPN, and the distribution problems have been disappointing, but I think you've got to give Thompson credit for being ahead of the curve on this one. He was the first commissioner to negotiate an exclusive conference network, which resulted in more televised games and a lot more money. Also, the MWC will find itself in a much stronger bargaining position when the current deal expires.

    The bowl tie-ins? Bowl organizers only care about two things: money and TV ratings, and BCS conferences bring in more of both. You honestly believe Thompson hasn't tried to negotiate a deal to put a MWC team in the Holiday Bowl, or the Sun Bowl? Unfortunately, he doesn't get to make these decisions. Are we really holding that against him?

    And now everyone is hailing Larry Scott as the anti-Thompson. Gimme a break. First off, Scott has a MUCH easier job--heading up an undervalued conference with a lot more money, more tradition, and that's a lot easier to market. Second, Scott has yet to do or attempt anything that hasn't already been done by other commissioners--including Craig Thompson. Obviously, Scott made a very good, long-term move bringing Utah on board. But just because we're excited about that doesn't make him the smartest man on the planet.

    Not that it matters much anymore, but its time to get off Thompson's back.

    The MWC is much better conference than it was in 1999. There's a reason other non-AQ teams like Boise State want to be a part of it. That should be the only measure that counts.

    Apologies, BoylenOver (earring) and I were hitting the cough syrup pretty heavy that morning. Doesn't change the fact that you're still bald though.
