November HEADLINE

Utah Finishes Season 1-11
(Entire coaching staff fired)

How's that for motivation?

Utenut

Calling it like it is. I hate to say it but that's right on, let's take the sugar coating off, excuses aside it's just a bad football team right now.

Mr. Rock, you're not funny. Ask around.

2-10 (They'll still beat BYU)

TRUE UTE

Although overly critical, I agree with the jist of your article, except on one point: Utah does have a quarterback, Kyle has picked the wrong one. Grady played awesome vs. UCLA. And you are being way too critical about his first half play at UNLV. He is driving and Louks fumbles. How many penalties did we have creating 2nd or 3rd and 20+ situations. Or how many first downs were reversed after holding or personal foul penalties? How many dropped passes did we have? Finally, how many times did receivers lose sight of where the first down marker was only to catch the ball for 4 and 2? No. We do have a quarterbackk, he just needs a head coach that will support him. Seen Kyle say one positive thing? I for one like watching Grady play and I can see what he is trying to do. We have a much better chance with him.

Can I be first ro point out on this blog that Urban Meyer has nothing to do with Ute football this year. The Uof U was his stepping stone. He has been gone longer than he was here.

Now we can move on to real issues.

There is still 2/3rds of the year left...oh yea I was talking about Utah State turning their program around.

First of all The Armed Forces Bowl (Not the Ft Worth bowl) was fun. You must not have been there.
The Utah players and coaches know they are struggling, I thought your comments were mean spirited. I think they call it kicking a horse when its down.If you were trying to be funny, you weren't.
Do you think the players are tyring to be bad. Do you think the coaches do not care? Have some compssion for our local team.

Who Cares

I just heard from a reliable source that Utah State has developed a new defensive scheme to be use specifically against the Utes.

Their plan is to allow the Utes to drive all the way to the 1 yard line and self destruct.

Go USU!

I've said it before and say it again: Fire Whit and the staff. He's just another "father figure" to the players. Don't come to Utah to make a friend, come here to win.

Mark

Ouch, that's a harsh reality. Let's face it, the utes are bipolar, with the ugly side showing 3/4 of the time. But I don't go off on my bipolar cousin everytime he's down. I don't know what this article will do for motivation, but I think the Utes have surprised us too many times (for the better) to count them out this early. Go UTES!

Dave

Mean spirited? It was finally calling the Utes what they are.....how can you argue with the article when they lost to a horrible team and the coach says he has no idea why or what happened. They do stink, and when the lose on Saturday to the Aggies they'll take their rightful place in the state's football heirarchy, under the Ags.

When a team plays like the Utes this year it comes down to two things, poor coaching and poor play calling.

Jimmy Sneakers

Jimmy thinks Utah wins this game because at 1-3 this is now a big game and the U only gets up for big games.

Rock On!

Can't we all just get along?

Ute fan

I've been trying all week to give away my tickets. Nobody will take them. I'll leave them at the ticket booth for whomever wants them. Any Ute fans out there?

Ute4ever

We couldn't beat Snow College this year, but we will beat Utah St.

Rock you are very funny. As for True Ute I can tell that you are a typical UTE fan (drunk off your butt). All be there (I'll be there). As for the utes I am very mad because, I was stupid enough to buy season tickets. And yes I was a season ticket holder during the Mcbride era. Whittingham has been a servicable coordinator at best. I remember the running the prevent the entire second half and barely hold on for the win. And to all of the BYU fans who are reading the articles about the U. and laughing (you're welcome). We took CLUELESS KYLE and let you take Mendenhall. If it wasn't for Chris Hill on Kyle's front door begging and pleading into the early morning Coach Whit would have been wearing Blue. THANKS CHRIS HILL WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

U-Fan

If we had Saint Urban Meyer along, we wouldn't be in this mess.
