Utah Utes notebook: Avenging last year's shutout at UNLV high on Utah's priority list

Utah Mann | 9:39 a.m. Sept. 5, 2008

Wow!! I am really looking forward to the game tomorrow. If the Utes play like they did last week this game could end up being 60-0. I am glad coach Sanford gave the Utes some "locker room material" when he said the Utes were avoiding Frank the Tank Summers last year. Although, I do agree with coach Sanford, we looked pathetic against UNLV last year. The Ute defense really needs to take this gam personal and show the sell out crowd what Utah football is all about. Lastly, I can't believe RES is 10 years old. Wow, how time flies! My bet is University expands the stadium to 60K with in the next 10 years.

GO UTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was GREAT to see the Utes on ESPN last week...

Now comes the AGONY of watching their games on the Mountain!

Lousy picture... Lousy announcers... Lousy viewership nationally.

I HATE THE MTN. NETWORK!!!!

Yep, Giac ran the program into the ground. Prior to that not so much. Home games in the tourney dont make your team any better do they? GO UTES hang 50 on that joke of a program.

UNLV high | 1:06 p.m. Sept. 5, 2008

Did the DN headline writer really refer to the Rebels as UNLV high? :)

Utes by as many as Kyle feels comfortable with before he pulls the plug to prevent a repeat of birdygate.

This will be a game where records can be broken. Utah has revenge on their mind, has the intimidation factor as their defense manhandled Michigan in the big house for most of the previous game, the team is loaded with talent, and this is the first home game of the season (and, oh yeah, the opponent is referred to as UNLV High :))
I imagine coach lets Sakoda attempt 60 yarders, the D hold UNLV scoreless and maybe for negative yards running; I can't wait for the game.
The only let down is that the game's only broadcast on that step-child of a station - the mountain. I don't live in the limited coverage area and I"M NOT HAPPY. I'll be listening though.
GO UTES!!! Give us another big win! (by 50)

You UTE fans kill me. You get a win over a very young Michigan team and you folks act like your some kind of national powerhouse team.....NOT....not even close. Sorry but playing Michigan then UNLV (haha) Utah State (what a joke) then Weber State (even bigger joke) give you no kind of respect what so ever. Heck, you folks forgot to schedule Southern Utah this year then you UTES could get respect as the "wannabe" big program University of the football powerhouse state of Utah (NOT)Utes fans quit acting like your something special because alot of places have no idea you even exsist!

You cougar fans kill me. You get a win over a 1-AA team and you folks act like you're some kind of national powerhouse team.....NOT....not even close. Sorry, but playing Northern Iowa, then Washington (haha) this month, and UNLV and Utah St. next, will give you no respect whatsoever. Heck you folks forgot to schedule Timpview H.S. this year in order to get the respect of the "wannabe" big program University of the football powerhouse state of Utah (NOT). Cougar fans, quit acting like you're something special, and that you're the only team people outside the state of Utah people have heard of. There can only be ONE pioneer BCS-buster. And the Univ. of Utah holds that title, now and forever.

I know UNLV isn't a good team but to call them "UNLV High" is pretty condescending.

re; comical | 10:21 a.m. Sept. 6, 2008

BYU fans have proven themselves to be the biggest idiots on the planet. So tell me how does the football world know who BYU even is when they can't even win a conference road game a streak that will not end today I promise you. Utah has done more for the mountain west than BYU HAS EVER DONE. conference titles don't mean anything to a real college football fan. We live up to the hype unlike BYU. we win our nationally televised game unlike BYU. We can talk about pre 1984 football unlike BYU. We can beat a michigan team that will finish above 6-6 unlike BYU. We made to a BCS game Unlike BYU.

re: Comical | 11:42 a.m. Sept. 6, 2008

apparently you like utah enough to talk about them on the comment page, either way is that at least our team up here on the hill knows how to win a road game out of conference, unlike the cougarettes.

either way.. expect our utes to hang at least 40 on vegas
