Why no TV? What's up with that?

Don't worry, Jordan Loveridge is on the way!

"... The fans have showed up and supported us, which has been terrific."

Uh to the contrary, I have pictures that show lots of "red chairs".

Do "red chairs" = fans or "fans"?

Or was this some magic math / numerology thing?

"Why no TV? What's up with that?"

I understand your so concerned about Utah not being televised. Don't worry, next season when the new Pac-12 TV contract kicks in, every football and men's basketball game will be nationally televised. Problem solved next year!

misinformation for U

if I were U, I wouldn't get too anxious to put that trainwreck on the hill on television; on the brightside, it's be a subscription only service, so only fans who are real gluttons for punishment will be forced to endure the embarrassment

btw, the Utes have actually lost seven games in the HC, if you count the exhibition loss to Adams State -- I know, nobody counts exhibition games, but then again, U aren't supposed to actually LOSE exhibition games

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that when half the fans in the lower bowl (see picture) have come disguised as empty red chairs, that the HC is mostly empty nowadays.

"Official" attendance is listed at around 8,000 only because the U continues to count about 5,000 Crimson Club season ticket holders, even though the majority of them don't even show up for games anymore.

Wait. Utah has a basketball team this year? I thought they only had 54-10. At least that is all I ever hear from my ute friends. Whenever I ask a legitimate question about their basketball team they only answer they have is 54-10.

Pretty sad state of affairs when your school has to totally dismiss an entire sport.

What was once a storied program is no more.

It makes me kind of sad. I actually use to cheer for Utah in the tourney. I don't think that will happen for at least another 7-10 years now. I might not be around that much longer.

Oh well I guess I could always bring up women's gymnastics...

Dude... paying an extra premium above normal monthly regular broadcasting is not nationally televised coverage....and where did you get that every pac game would be televised live week in and week out...believe me Utah will remain at the bottom of the pecking order for even pac tv broadcasts and rebroadcasts. Talk about fantasy football.
