RE" "Key" loss | 9:38 a.m. Aug. 26, 2008
Can someone please explain to me how a Jr. college professor has not posted grades yet when school is already starting up again?"

Easy, the instructor has. Someone needs to get face to face with the school and get them to move. There are many thousands of students in the JUCO system, and they don't give athletes special treatment. Likewise, they don't give people that need the credits to transfer for summer classes until they move through the system. I took some summer classes at the JUCO and it took as much work to get the credits as it did to take the class.

If this guy wanted to play, he would be in uniform.

Classic Athlete that waits for others to handle the problem for them.

Go Utes | 6:06 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008

I am a Ute fan, but realistic, just like Kyle.

Utes will lose in a Blowout.

I hope no one gets hurt.

Let's deal with it and move on with our lives.

Don't listen to them. I'm a die hard Ute fan and I always will be. I don't like BYU at all, but I respect Bronco and I respect the program, like a real football fan/human being should do. Thanks for supporting the Utes in our big game. I usually don't support BYU in anything, except maybe playing Notre Dame or USC. But thank you. It's fans like you that give me hope that not all BYU fans are immature, and I hope you don't think that about all Utah fans, because not all of us are. Thanks again buddy!!

re:Proud to Play Bo Diddleyanything | 4:49 p.m

I'm with you.

Don't blame Bryant Gumble, he is "white" as they come, and does not know the African American America I grew up in.

I have lived here in Utah long enough to know Ute fans are all parrots that just say what they hear.

I am Michigan through and through, and just see you poor Utah fans coming out of the Big House bruised and battered.

I hope we don't make your Utes cry too much.

Hail to the Victors | 6:53 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008

Our starting HB was not suspended.... our back up HB was suspended. No matter because we have two blazing guys one who jumps over would be tacklers...

our D will be ready to step it up... the offense will surprise everyone. It won't be polished but it will be better than expected. Just like the rest of the country you guys figure new coach, new schemes will be our demise... no matter because it all comes down to the guys playing the game on Saturday... And one factor no one has even brought up... The Big House will be rocking! 12th man!!

Go Blue

At least the Utes play someone this year. BYU plays no one again. Sure would be fun to see Cougars play someone in the top 15. Hopefully Bowl time we will. Go Utes. I think Kyle does a great job. He is very consistant and loyal so we need to be loyal to him.

Midwest Cougar | 7:20 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008

Good luck to the Utes. It would be a great win although the Big 10 apologists are already lining up their excuses for a Michigan loss. Utah will never get credit for a win against a lame Wolverine team and if they lose it will be a very smug Michigan bragging about how they did it with freshman, new coach, etc.

Stop it! | 7:32 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008

We will all know in time who the better team is, BYU or Utah. Doesn't matter what the polls say when you have a scheduled game against each other. If you didn't play each other than fine, we can argue all we want about who is better , but since you will be playing each other this fighting over who is better is stupid.

Even a Loss | 8:01 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008

A Loss will be better than a Northern Iowa win.

I'd rather the Utes lose handily on the road to the 2nd best team in the 2nd best conference rather than feast on a cupcake @ home.

One) You learn more from losses
Two) BYU won't learn anything from their "Sugar Rush", but "over indulging on sweets" in Provo is not exactly a rarity.

Yeah, right, like the past two years, BYU, undefeated in MWC, beat Utah both years, and the whiners still go on and on...

BYU could beat Utah 30 years straight and the Ute Fans would still be posting the same old same old...

We already know who the best team is. Just 100 or so Ute fans are clueless.

THeHailstorm | 10:43 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008

WE will just have to wait and see the scores and wins before it's really time for the trash talking.
All of these posts are meaningless until the whistle blows the start of the game,
My predictions ?
Max Hall goes down and BYU ends up 9-4
Utah-- 10-2

UTAH IS THE FAVORITE | 10:54 p.m. Aug. 26, 2008

Michigan is this years Notre Dame. If utah doesn't win it will be a huge let down.

Stupid Utah Comments | 5:09 a.m. Aug. 27, 2008

DK Nutt --BYU doesn't play anyone this year?? Where does that put Utah?? A nobody. I don't think so but... here's your sign.

Even a Loss---- A lose to Michigan will be better than a BYU win over a I-AA team. So you would rather lose than win?? Let me teach you something about a winner; they always want to win. A win is a win and anything else gets put in the other column. Sure you learn from a lose but if you don't think you learn from a win then... well... here's your sign.

I want the utes to bring home the win for the conference and an undefeated record into the game with BYU.
I want no excuses when we win again in November.
Go Cougars-
