TCU 28 U 6
Wrong! Utes 24 - TCU 14!
GO UTES
As inconsistant as we have been I am gessing TCU 24-20
2003: 6-0
2004: 4-2 L: South Florida 44-45,Tulane 35-31
2005: 5-0
2006: 5-1 L: BYU 31-17 blowout
2007: 3-0
2004 was their down year. Other than that, this team is so hard to beat at home. All the wins this year have been dominating wins, yet all over weak teams. If TCU does not struggle, they will easily defeat Utah. Their only chance to win is to figure out how BYU did it.
GO UTES!!!
True fan here.
6-6.
"who couldn't beat those opponents?"
I said the same thing about Utah's chances against UNLV this year.. just before they pounced on the Utes.
I love how loyal Ute fans are... especially when UCLA came to town Rice-Eccles was half empty. Come on Crimson.. Stand Up!
TCU 34 - Utah 3
Utah 24 TCU 21. Or vice versa.
Leaning toward the Utes.
GO GOUGS!!!
What did Utah do to you anyway? Could you not get in? Is that why there is more hate for Utah in you than the love you have for the cooters?
This is the biggest game of the year for the Utes. Unfortunately it is also the biggest game of the year for the Horny Frogs. They won't be looking past Utah and this isn't RES like the UCLA game. Utes need to "live in the now" for this one.
Huge, Huge and Huge!!! Looking for the Utes to keep it close and pull some magic out at the end. Kicking game and special teams may be the difference for the Utes. Hoping that Kyle is the coach grinning at the end of this one.
Utah 37
TCU 31
Suggestion for pep talk to Utes, courtesy of Dwight Schrute:
Dwight: Whenever I�m about to do something, I think �would an idiot do that?� and if they would, I do not do that thing.
Go LBUNs, we cougar fans need your best to make this November meaningfull.
I'll be rooting for the Utes to whip up on yet another overrated preseason football team (ie: Michigan, Notre Dame, UCLA, Georgia, Texas A&M, Miami...the usual). Utah 31-21 over the Frogs.
BYU runs the tables setting up a great game in Provo in late November.
I used to watch a TV show named "Duckman". Any relation? ;-)
Big game for the U tonight. VS. used to be called The Outdoor Channel. Used to show alot of fishing shows. Still show alot of rodeos. Camera people are stronger than mtn., but still poor and not enough angles on replay. Announcers are weak also, but better than mtn. and CSTV. Bottom line, better than not watching it.
Just need to figure a way to get mtn. for Saturday's BYU game. Hey, maybe I'll call DirecTV and ask them to carry the mtn. I bet that'll work.
C'mon!!!
Kyle and the Utes will show what they are made of. No way to predict on this one, though. Utes have never had a must win against a tough opponent at their place. It will be interesting to see what they are made of.
Close game.
Utah or TCU by 2...(I know, weak sitting on the fence... OK, Utah by two)
You can't play either of them off.
That's why Great Big Programs had Great Big Stands, to pleasure and satisfy their Fans.
You need to stop taking byu football and yourself so seriously.
Brian Johnson is getting better each week and tonights win over TCU will put him right back to where he was before he blew his knew. I am picking Utah also because TCU isn't that good this year. BYU is unpredictable this year. The coug's have alot of explosive power but they are also very careless with the football and their secondary was exposed against Tulsa.In other words, the MWC crown is still up for grabs for BYU, TCU, UTAH,and WYO.
The Peaeuwts will stink up the place, until Chris Hill wises up and gets Norm Chow to coach football and throws Kyle under the bus. What do you think of that Jimmy?
I think Jimmy's real name is "JD", hence the moniker. Eastern Washington will throttle the Boogers too. 35-10.
.32%
What is Utahs's overall win % in bowl games?
.79%
Since 2000 how many winning seasons has BYU had?
2
Since 2000 how many winning seaons has Utah had?
5
Since 2000 they both have had two MWC titles
Which program is better?
So byu fans- have your one winning season every 4-5 years and think your on top of the world.
Ps how did your game go against that powerhouse Tulsa?
Who gave Notre Dame their first win on the year?
UCLA, how did you do in that game?
I know, now you byu fans will tell me about the refs or how good you are because you will beat a 1-AA team.
The bottom line is your secondary stinks, and your hardest games are yet to come. WYO has a good passing attack, and vs your secondary couple with the game at WYO and smashed b/t TCU and Utah= LOSS. Then Utah will go to their home away from home and Win, just like they did two years ago when they were favored to lose by 11 points.
Close game, Utah in a squeeker - Sakoda's foot will be the diff reversing the last Texas matchup 23-20 Utah.
UCLA is currently tied for first in the "mighty" PAC 10. They're almost as inconsistent as the yewts are.
No Way Utah beats New Mexico, BYU, Wyoming, and TCU. They will drop at least 1 if not all of them.
Since the yewts are picked to lose, they will probably win. That seems to be their pattern.
Go Frogs!!!
At any rate good luck to the little BUN's tonight against TCU because they'll need it. I don't care if they win or not but it would add more cred to our victory in November when the Cougars stomp them into the semi-frozen turf at LES, best stadium in the conference and home of the best team in the conference. I know it drives yoot fans crazy that BYU is still considered the premier program in the conference even after the yoot's recent success, which now isn't so recent anymore. And the B in BUN's was that for brothers or a word that ryhmes with itches?
And how well have the Utes done on the road?
And how many National Championships...???
This picking and choosing of stats and scores by both sides is pretty stupid, conisdering neither team is perfect, and neither team is weak.
I have enjoyed BYU and Utah's traditions, and slamming one or the other does not improve either's standings.
...sounds like you could use a Dwight Schrute quote:
Dwight: First rule in roadside beet sales, put the most attractive beets on top. The ones that make you pull the car over and go �wow, I need this beet right now�. Those are the money beets.
Tonight's game against TCU is Utah's "Money Beet". Compared to that, all of your stats mean squat (unless you think they will lose and you are trying to soften your landing... As for me and my family, we will cheer on the Utes!!!)
Quit being a parrothead and start thinking in the now...
This post doesn't make any sense either, but both speak the truth.
Think about it.
Just my way of saying I feel your pain.
Craig Thompson
MWC
(OK, not really, but wouldn't it be nice if he just said he did something boneheaded and would try to fix it instead of all this call DTY and DISH crap???)
Good luck to all bowl-eligible MWC teams in their annual early-December bowl games.
