Utah Utes football: Utah adds another Mr. Football honoree

starting at utah as a freshman this year will prob be an easy task to accomplish consdering the lack of talent you have overall. Best of luck to this kid and he will "truely" get baptized by fire when the Y lights him up with 50 points in his backyard! Also, how does it feel to know your only good coach in school history jumped ship after such a quick run, while your hated rivals brilliant general down south will have no interest in leaving after having a better campaign than urban..??!!?!?!? lol and yes, once we go to the orange bowl, and actually play a decent team, Broncos resume will leave urbans in the dust!! BYU is back! deal with it!

An article about a young man choosing to attend the State University brings this response from what has to be one of Utah's brightest. If I were a supporter of Brigham Young University I would be embarassed by this type of "fan". I will never understand people like this who are continually saying things in a futile effort to convince everyone else that they are superior?

Ok, nothing like counting you chickens before they hatch... Sounds like some BYU fans are pretty far along in the pride cycle.

As for Mr Anderson, welcome to the UofU, you will find some silly fans (on both sides of the rivalry actually) but, with hard work and a level head you can do great things at Utah. Best wishes to you in your new future.

Please leave the hatred out and discuss the issues.

Regarding I think he's right, You're an idiot. You're not going to the Orange Bowl. You'll be in Vegas again playing in that lousy bowl that no one cares about. Quit embarrassing the Y with your stupid comments. (Are you the type of guy that goes up to Bronco and asks him if you can walk his dog or wash his car?) Pathetic!

It is nice to know that a ZOOB is generally interested in the Utes to take time out of his busy schedule at 1:00 am, to make a comment that absurd on a Utah Utes football artacial. That comment just proves that are some ignorant byu fans. My favorit part of the hole article is the title: Utah adds ANOTHER Mr. Football honoree. Good stuf right there. That would be awesome If by chance Boo makes the starting rotation, just think how ashamed you will feel when Boo contributes to the spanking of your Cougars.

By the way I think somone put more than carrot chunks in your lime jello, possibly alcohol.

One more thing UTAH is back! deal with it!

dude you cogar fanz are so annoying!! Seriously i wish that i never had to listen to you on all these papers and call in shows and whatnote. You are so arrogant to not realize how lucky your really are to have had collie and harlin. My genie wishs would be 1) bomb southern utah 2) deport bronchini and 3) ripe the hearts out of byu fanz before turkey day!! it gonna be a long year for byu

The article had nothing to do with BYU, I am a BYU graduate that happens to know Boo Anderson. He will be a great,great player for the U. Comments like yours tells me your either in Jr high or a 45 year old jock sniffer. Either way I hope people who read your comments don't believe every BYU fan is that classless.

1st - Congrats to this awesome kid! He's worked hard, become a success thus far, and is going to the school he's dreamed of for so long. Congrats again!

2nd - This is a sports article! Of course fans are going to rile up the other fans. It's no disrespect to this kid! If this would have been a BYU recruit the U fans would have been saying worse things and on top of that some how it would have been the LDS churches fault for something.

3rd - My neighbor plays for the U and we give each other a hard time ALL THE TIME. I have season Tickets to Y games and told him if he doesn't have anything better to do on Saturdays this season he can come to some games with me. We just had a good laugh.

So in that spirit....

Unfortunatly, this kid is needed this year because of the U's weaknesses on D. He will not only get a rude awakening from the Y but every team that the Yewts lose to this season. Sorry you have to wear red, but it does cover up blood well.

Go Cougs!

Phil Steele, the leader in preseason publications who picked BSU 2 years ago and Hawaii last year, seems to think that Utah will do a little better than BYU, despite what Dick Harmon says. Congrats Boo on your decision and fulfillment of your dream, and hope you have success like your predecessors.

As a Ute fan, i thought Boo Hoo's post was funny

Let's use sports lingo here. The phrase "he signed a financial aid agreement" should not be in the same article about a football signee. Use that for your articles updating the Ute Engineering School prospects.

Congrats to the Utes though. I am a Coug but love to see the Utes do well. What would this rivalry be if the Utes were not a quality program. It would quickly become the same as the Utah/USU or BYU/USU games. And no USU fans, we don't want to play hoops against you in Logan - I'm talking about football.

Love to read these articles about good kids who work hard and make good. Also fun to read these silly comments from the zoobies. Make me feel lucky that the brainwashing stopped short of my house. Am looking forward to the upcoming sports year... Not even Harmon's cheerleading... Monson's bashing... or Bronco's canned speeches can ruin it.

I don't care about byu fan's respect. The fact that they think our defense is going to be bad tells me you don't know jack about football. Typical byu thinking. The fall is going to be sweet

Sorry dude, but your 2nd comment is way off. Do you even read these DesNews boards? It's pretty much the BYU Cougar's newspaper so you probably get 2:1 BYU articles to Utah articles and reader comments. Plus the D-News lets cougar fans get away with much more without censoring them. I know there are Utah fans who can attest to that on here. Anyway, keep drinking your blue Kool-Aid and believing BYU fans aren't pompus all you want.

Go Utes this fall. I can't wait to see you play on satellite here in California! Get past Michigan and it could be a crazy awesome year!
(Ute fans are pretty good at keeping things in perspective) :)

Congragulations boo i know you will tear it up on the field good luck my man. I will be cheerin for you.

So the war has begun. I am happy this kid is going to the U. Good for him. Hopefully he will take advantage of the educational opportunity afforded him and get a degree.
As for BYU and Utah. BYU will win. It is that simple. There are polls that rank Utah higher than BYU but for the last 35 years I have picked the winner 100% of the time and this year... once again BYU will win this rivalry game. They have the offense and Utah doesn't. Utah has been lucky these past 2 years that the cougars came in nervous and didn't bring their "A" game. The Utes always show up with their "A+" game against the cougars but BYU can't seem to get up for it... and yet they have still won.
I look forward to this game this year... my only hope is that Kyle will remain the Utah head coach after this years loss. He will be great if Utah will stick with him.
BYU will go undefeated this year BTW.

Our weakness is replacing 4 people in our front 7. Guess what BYU has to do the same thing and they lost a lot in their secondary too. Both teams are gonna be struggling on defense.

Unfortunately Boo wont be starting and probably wont get much time out there on the field. I hope he competes and tries to beat some people out, but there are already 2 starters penciled in and 2 guys vying for the 3rd spot. My guess is he is red-shirted.

put your money where your mouth is buddy...

Looking forward to seeing Boo play. Whenever you see the field, good luck. And work hard in the classroom as that may have more to do with your future success.

Welcome aboard.

I can certainly attest to what you said about the D-News censoring Ute fans and letting byU fans say almost anything.

On more than one occasion my comments have been censored but when I reposted the EXACT SAME comments with BYU substituted for Utah, they were miraculously 'clean' enought to be posted.

PATHETIC!

As for Boo Anderson, it is nice to see that Utah is still attracting the best in-state recruits.

Go Utes!!
