Official Utah Utes Football 2012 Thread

Utes fans putting the almighty dollar first? What a surprise.

As I've always said, it's never been about money at BYU and anyone that thinks so is pretty dumb. But go ahead and chase the almighty dollar to your heart's content.

That deal is about exposure and you can't beat the exposure and opportunity a contract with ESPN gives you. But Utes will never know that feeling. You coattailed BYU for decades and now you can coattail the pac-12, who wishes they would've picked someone else. And it's funny they don't even have to pay full share yet. That's a slap in the face.

Ute fans getting their stupid on.

It's hard to keep up with all the stupidity.

In the case of Utah, who gets none of my tithing dollars, the money IS important. It's important to the football program, to the whole athletics program, and important to the whole institution. I guess if you want to look at that as somehow dishonorable, that's your prerogative.

On the other side of the coin, BYU's ESPN deal was a huge upgrade. Comparing the two is just another apples v. oranges discussion, because the two programs are so radically different in approach and philosophy.

Helmets for Saturday night. Badass.

 

[Bronco70]

I always wondered why they didn't do black helmets before. That's kick ***.

I guess the drum & feather will be white for road games and red for home games. Wonder how many times we'll wear them this year.

I approve of the black helmets. Is our jersey going to be different as well?

No, same jerseys. Like last year, they will switch up the pants and jersey color combos and wear black pants alot probably.

Here are all of the possible uniform combinations.
