Utah

So where are the rumors coming from......
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700040541/Utah-Utes-football-Hill-hasnt-been-contacted-by-Pac-10.html

Not sure where that report came, but it's now official The Utes are part of the Pac-10

The BCS sent their invitation and the Utes have notified the MTN west. News conference scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

Wouldnt it be awesome if we seen a repeat of 2009 except the game would be the national championship instead of the sugar bowl........... I can just see fatbass and coyoteslayer now..........

Fatbass would swearing in front of the TV again.







GO UTES!!!!!

I'd love a rematch. Anytime, anywhere.

Too bad the utes won't get a chance to play Alabama again. They'll be a 7-5 or 8-4 team forever and The Tide will be too busy playing for the Championship year in and year out.

The Utes will go UNDEFEATED this year.

That is a bold statement. TCU is still really good, BYU is always tough. I don't see them going undefeated this year.

The Utes are a lot better this year. Cain and Wynn gained a lot of good experience last year.

BYU will be lucky to go 9-3 this year with their schedule.

Their defense and offense look good during practice this year.

Coach Whit wants more competition because he knows his Utes are up to the challenge. I heard it from his own mouth.

A football team is much more than just a quarterback. The utes lost some really key players on both sides of the ball. TCU lost very few, just keep that in mind and actually Boise I think is nearly the same team as last year, I know they won't be in the MWC this year, but they are going to be very good also.

Notice I said their offense and defense looks good this year? The little brother Kruger is an animal.

Those Kruger boys are impressive, but TCU is going to be excellent this year.

TCU will be a good team like they were last year, but they won't win on the UTES home turf.

That shit's easy. Alabama's going on their 3rd undefeated regular season in a row...in the best conference in the nation.

Here's what I find funny...utah is a good team but any injuries expose their greatest weakness- depth. QB goes down and you lose 2 games. RB goes down and you lose 2 games.
Alabama is neck deep in top quality at almost every position, that's why the loss of LB Donte Hightower (a sure all-American had he not gotten injured) didn't slow the Saban train down one bit on their 14-0 run for the NC last year.

BTW...Donte's fully recovered and a scary badass but there are backups for him that won't miss a beat should he get injured again.

I'll just leave this here:

That big beast Cody saved them last year when he blocked the field goal to keep them from being defeated. They will miss him on the front line to save them again this year.

Cody was a unique player but we have no way of knowing if his backup would have done the same thing. The Bama defensive line is even better this year, overall.

What is this talk about Penn ST preparing to take Alabama down this year?

CS and FB, you guys should seriously make a Utah/Bama thread. I'd even be okay without moderating it, as long as it didn't get personal......

We will my friend once the season starts because that is when we get down to business.

In Tuscaloosa?

Honestly, the only team on Bama's schedule that scares me at all is San Jose State and only because in the past, Bama has had the tendency to look past the laughably hapless but amped-up teams playing the biggest games of their existences. Sugar Bowl '08 comes to mind.

Could be fun...maybe as the season nears.

Excuses, excuses. I don't believe Bama could have won the UTES if they came with their best game plan that year. The UTES were just so much better.

How is that an excuse? No excuses necessary. David the scrawny slayed Goliath the great. It happens once in a while. It'll never happen again.

Hey, sgw, that's the language utefans use. Just accept the fact that utefan can't conjugate.

Well we both believe differently, but who cares. I do hope that in the near future Bama and the Utes cross paths again.
