to all the Utes!! Go Big Red!

Beat the pants off everyone again and let's do it again next year!!

You guys deserve it...WAY TO GO UTES!

Congratulations! You did the MWC proud.

thank you utes! you've made us proud!!! no one thought we could take down the big BCS alabama and thought we'd get crushed, but the team never believed them! if the nation didn't know who the utes were after the fiesta bowl, they know who we are now! the future of the MWC is now better thanks to utah's win over the tide! love or hate the utes, each team in the MWC will get more recognition now thanks to this win. once again, thanks for a great season! one that we will NEVER forget!

I know how Ute fans hate us Cougar fans posting comments on articles about the Utes... but, oh well, here it goes!

Congratulations Utah! Great season! Great showing against Alabama! And a special congratulations to Kyle Whittingham for being named national coach of the year.

So... no contreversy here from this Cougar fan. There is nothing to argue about... Utah was perfect. If the system was fair, the Utes would be the undisputed national champions.

Enjoy it. Celebrate! The Utes and their fans deserve it.

Congrats Waddoups for his support of the U. Maybe you can back off your nefarious opinions about restaurants being bars.

GO UTES!

I had so much fun watching all the games this season, the only one I went to was the OSU at Rice-Eccles and that was the most exciting game I witnessed. Wished I lived closer to attend more games in person. Next year will definitley be a rebuilding year but I'm very optomistic about it. Sad to see my favorite player leave(Paul Kruger), but at least we still got Sylvester, Misi and many others returning. What a geat season and I am so glad to be a Utes fan.

GO UTAH! I've been a cougar guy mostly but now i'm jumping on the band wagon because these guys are soooo cool. Loved the article. Loved the season. Go UTES!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Congrats to the Utes on a wonderful season and on picking up another one of our fans.

So, was the crowd so large that is was impossible to estimate, or did having only two photos pretty much show all the Ute fans in attendance? Impressive...very impressive Uters.

We're number 2!!! We're number 2!!

PLEASE hang the banner 2008 National Champions at rice-eccles!!!
Let the BCS have their championship...Utah is the National Champion!

This team has accomplished more than any other college football team from Utah.

Embarrassing throwing a parade for a 2nd place finish! Please don't put a banner up, that would be even worse. The rest of the world outside of SLC is laughing right now.

red faced...they laugh because AGAIN they pulled off denying a true National Champion at the expense of money! How much money do you think Florida and even Oklahoma made in that game?!?! How much do "big schools" stand to lose if we all play on the same field?
The BCS should not be laughed at...it should be dismantled and Utah should be recognized (and paid) as the National Champion.
This is much more than just football...

Hey, Red faced | 9:21 p.m. Jan. 16, 2009

No other college football team has accomplished more than this Utah team did this year.

NONE of those that laugh are fans of an UNDEFEATED team. NONE of those that laugh are 13-0.

The Utes and their fans deserve this celebration.

How about his for a banner?

"2004, 2009 - UNDEFEATED UTAH UTES"

Sounds good to me, and no one else can say it.

Re: TC

Thanks, good luck to you Cougs as well!

Re: Dragonboy

Come on board, the Utes are on the RISE!

Re: nottyou

You must have our program mixed up with yours....what will be your next "gimmick" to draw fans to games?, "Quest For Perfection II, No This Time We REALLY Mean It!"

Re: Utah

Nah, we're #1, U know it, and I know it, EVERYBODY knows it!

Re: Red faced

Embarrassing? How about getting blown up by TCU? How about getting thrashed by the Utes? And what's worse, how bout getting egg on your face courtesy of the Wildcats? You want to talk to us about being an embarrassment? GET REAL! Your "Quest For Perfection" is the laughing stock of the football WORLD! Memo to Zoobs: Next year don't have a slogan, just come and play football.
Oh and real football teams don't run fake I'm talking to the sidelines plays, that was so Little League, be extremely concerned 'cause I think your coaches are getting their plays off YouTube......hahahahahaha!
Oh and, our #2 team, got tons more RESPECT than your so-called #1 "Bo Diddley Tech" team of '84, now that was embarrassing!

Congratulations to the University of Utah Utes. I am very proud of you and what you have accomplished. I am a huge BYU fan, but I am thrilled and supportive of American's Number 1 Team from the U.

Awesome.
