Official Utah Utes Football 2012 Thread

Lets make no mistakes about it, Utah has some problems going forward. Regardless of whether or not the likes of Spazz and Conan are in here making their idiotic comments saying as much, us Ute fans are aware of the problems (ok, maybe not Salty). The difference between Ute and Cougar fan is, the majority of Utah fans can at least own up to the fact that there's trouble in paradise. I've seen so many BYU fans (especially on this board) go out of their way to talk themselves into the fact that whatever BYU is doing must be great. BYU can put out a product that is chicken ****, and most Y fans will try to talk you into believing it's chicken salad.

This is going to be a huge offseason for Whit. The offense has progressively gotten worse over his tenure, the promotion of Brian Johnson to OC may end up working sometime down the line but it's certainly not working now, and the defense looks more suspect than it has in ages. With the verbals Utah has recieved for the 2013 class, they're very close to cracking the top 25 in recruiting classes but that will mean next to nothing if these coaching issues don't get sorted out. Whit has built up some good will thanks to the Sugar Bowl win, etc. but he's going to have a hard time posting another at or near .500 record in 2013.

There are some major issues brewing at Utah and it will be interesting to see if Whit can stem the tide. On the bright side, there still are a few positives:

-2 straight wins against BYU and 7 of the last 10
-We can at least get Michigan to agree to a home-and-home
-Our players don't sucker punch females at fast food eating establishmnents
-Our coach has a pulse
 
Is there "trouble in paradise" or growing pains? I compare the Utes moving to the Pac 12 to an expansion team. There will be good times but there will be a lot of hard times. I just want to see progress and hopefully in the not-so-distant future they can legitimately compete. Right now, they are playing a Pac 12 schedule with a MWC roster. That's good enough to beat ****ty teams like Northern Colorado and BYU, but not to go on the road and win in Tempe, Pasadena, Seattle, and Corvallis.

Fair enough, but I expected more. I didn't expect to win a PAC 12 title in the first couple years but I thought Utah could beat the crappy programs and the programs that happen to be down at the time. Beating Wazzu and losing to USC should be expected, but I also expect Utah to beat teams like Washington and UCLA when you look at how those teams currently stack up.

I think Brian Johnson can grow into his role, but maybe it's going to take a couple of years. Maybe it was too much, too soon. BYU is paying the price for promoting an OC before their time, Utah is probably in the same boat. I'll always be a Utah fan, but I refuse to behave as the sheep in Provo do. If my team is selling me an inferior product, I'm going to call it for what it is. I think this team has under achieved during its first to PAC years and I couple that with the fact that our staff was asleep at the will in regards to QB depth during that time. I would be a complete mess right now if it weren't for the fact that we're still beating BYU. I guess thank god for that.

A lot of talk of bla, and suck, and BYU. Got it. You can carry on living because the one good thing your team did this year was beat BYU.

If you guys weren't so sensitive it wouldn't be so fun to give you crap all the time.

I enjoy the good natured back and forth and realize it's all just for fun and meaningless. I apologize jazzman12 if my teasing has caused you stress and hard feelings. I don't mean 90% of what I post here. You figure out what the 10% is, and to go along with that, think of all those things I mean that I don't post. There are some real doozies. :-)

You don't offend me because you take shots at Utah. You offend me because you're not funny when you're trying to be funny and in those rare instances where you do attempt to be serious, your posts come up woefully short of being anything other than pathetic. In short, you litter this message board with unfunny, unredeeming contnet. You should get better at what you do or simply stop trying all together. I hope this clears up any of your ideas that you possess the ability to hurt my feelings because nothing could be further from the truth.

Have a nice day.

I'm just not funny because you have zero sense of humor, and because you have the personality of Mr. Rogers.

Nice attempt to conceal your hurt feelings though, :( "youre just not funny" :(

Thanks for the nice day part though, I think I will.
 
I honestly had no idea who your team was playing or when Spazz but thnx for keeping up with Utah and even taking the time out of your busy day to post about it. On my drive home yesterday I heard something on the radio that seems to contradict a little of what your saying however. Hans Olsen said the stadium wasn't full and more then half of them left at half time but it was understandable considering the weather and the opponent.

In my 10-15sec of internet searching here is a link and a quote that seems to confirm that.
football fans stayed away from Saturday night’s home finale at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Tough to blame them.

And then another 10-15sec search I found that CenturyLink Field seating capacity is 72,000 and the ESPN box score shows ATTENDANCE: 60,050
Here's the link.
https://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=323150264

So I know I'm supposed to be pumping gas while dumping beer on all your moms (side note, sorry ran out of fresh beer so several of those cups were "recycled" beer) and I didn't go to a great school like TDS however 72,000 seems like a bigger number then RES holds. So it stands to reason that it would look more empty. Also let me add that the attendance numbers don't actually reflect the people that actually showed up but more the ticket sales so there was likely less that 60,050 at the game.
