interesting how many utah fans have been posting on sites about how pathetic byu
is. they might want to stop by here and write that same word. pathetic in last
week's win and today's loss. bad day for beehive state but we'll
all bounce back.

Wow... Utes lose a game and the world stops! Reality is: One game @ a time. What
did we learn this weekend? One game does not make a season, just ask BYU. The
next winning streak starts next week against Louisville. The Utes are good,
working on great and will finish Fabulous. So until next week and the week after
and the next...GO UTES!!!

I don't think it's a matter of catching breaks or not- this years team
just hasn't meshed yet. Hopefully they will take their licks and learn from
it this year and work towards next year. :)
I think most of us with our heads in reality knew this was not going to be another storytale year after seeing those first two games. What can you do.

Funny, on the BYU articles there are hundreds of Newt fans, aka BYU-haters,
commenting about BYU's loss, but here, not a comment knocking the Utes.
I won't change that. Good game Utah, sad day for the MWC. The BCS won a big point today.
I do want to knock the fans, I mean the haters. That it is so popular to knock the Y and talk smack about the Cougars in the name of the University of Utah.
Get a life and get a team to cheer for. Your hatred has nothing to do with Utah or football, it is just blind hatred.

utes to go 6-5

This loss is a big hit to the program. A big part of that is that the game was
ESPN. Opportunities to play well and continue to grab national interest on a
major network stage are few and far between. Recruiting is at stake more
extensively on the national stage. Pollsters pay more attention. And the money
machine that is ESPN will give more attention. As for the last point, the game
was replayed after sportscenter (midnight). Last weeks lackluster play in
Northern California didn't help either, since many interested (possible)
recruits from the region traveled to see the Utes play. California and Texas
games are huge. The bloody Mountain came along, and the nation has to have the
MWC teams force attention upon themselves now (do something special). The Sugar
Bowl win last year did a ton for the program, but there was not much coverage
throughout the year from a national perspective. In 2004 however, the Utes had
press the whole year (it's true). Starting with A&M in week 1. BCS
buster talk was promoted on ESPN that early. Before 2004, no BCS buster existed.
College Game Day came to Rice Eccles (BYU game).

Neither team should accept ane kudos over this one...it is undoubtably the
sloppiest football game in recent memory. Who ever said that Cain was a quarter
back? Someone was dreaming-- perhaps we should see if Nevada has a QB that they
could spare.
Wynn | 9:59 a.m. Sept. 20, 2009
Jordan Wynn could have thrown the deep ball without it being intercepted. Let
him play!
Football fanatic | 9:59 a.m. Sept. 20, 2009
Great comment from Yup about the Y haters and U haters (it goes both ways here).
Too bad they just can't sit back and enjoy the ride of watching college
football at its best. Let's be realistic, no one in the MWC will go
undefeated this year. Too bad a lot of these so called fans can't enjoy the
games without being mean spirited. Deep down they probably have deeper issues
that need attention!

Where are all the Utah haters? Truth is, most BYU fans are either too nice to
bash the U or they just don't care all that much.
Sad day for the MWC, though.

Sounds like the Utes should just drop football. I mean they lost for the first
time since November 2007. They should just quit, what's the point of even
showing up next Saturday.
Why is it that the media in Salt Lake begins byu's BCS and National Championship campaign after one win? Why is it that when Utah beat a top 25 Michigan team in the Big House last year, the same media still claimed Utah wasn't very good because Michigan came back and made it a game?
I would love to see a tiny bit of objectivity, just once from these guys.
It'll never happen though.

Ute... Evan in the afterlife. | 3:26 p.m. Sept. 20, 2009
This is for the fans on both sides of the red and blue fence. I am a die hard
Ute fan and will be forever. I love mixing it up with the BYU fans just as much
if not more then most Ute fans but lets all have a reality check. Utah needs BYU
and vice-versa. We are all MWC. Let the greatest rivelry ever take place in
November when we meet in Provo. Right now our biggest enemy is the BCS. Both
teams unfortunate losses have once agian led many feeling like the MWC
can't hang. One comment made was "evan a blind squirrel can find a nut
once in awhile". Let's leave the rivelry for rivelry week and focus on
supporting all MCW teams so we can all get over these fricken BCS hurdals.

how the prideful fall!

When there were two seconds left in the half, they should have kicked a field
goal.

about the utes based on the comments. We Bronco fans just love the newly
unranked utes.
But sorry we won't need to follow you anymore this year. By losing to a team we thumped you now have no way to argue about anything!
By the way, nice victory over lowly SJSU. You made the WAC look better!

Didn't see the game (out on Saturday with the BoyScouts), but a 13-0 season
is a tough act to follow... every slip-up now is seen through the lens of the
SugarBowl superUTES.
It does seem a little frustrating that KWhit seemed not so ticked about losing a sloppy game. Is the picture with the article of KWhit smiling taken before or after the game?
GOOO UTES!!!
My favorite teams are the UTES and whoever is playing the gators!

The Ute vs. Oregon game left many things unanswered:
1) will Cain ever be able to accurately throw over 18 yards?; 2) will the corners be able to cover deep without interference; 3) will the new coordinators grow into their jobs this year or not; will the players stop making costly mental errors, et cetera?
Little improvement from the first game of the year in my opinion. Should be quicker improvement shown or this year is going to be a real downer. If Wynn is truly close to Cain in ability, then how about seeing him in a game for a quarter sometime. It might be very interesting and possibly very rewarding.

Think it is now officially time to start Jordan Wynn.
O LINE | 3:49 p.m. Sept. 21, 2009
I remember when Asiata was the back up for Stowers until Stowers injury.
He's all better now. The guy has more talent than all of them. He needs
some play time. Hope to see that this weekend at the game. He's faster
and in my opinion the man for the starter job. Hope OC calls a better offense
with some plays we can get done. Cain or Wynn either one will work as long as
the rest of the O line is doing there job blocking for him. (including the rb)
