Comments about ‘Utah Utes football: 12 players returning home to face TCU’

these guys have proven to be excellent players. it surprises me that other schools did not try and keep them home. i guess it does show how much talent is down there. also, that our players and team are getting ready to play a tough tcu team that they have already seen before. it will be a barn burner, but dont count out the utes. its these types of games that they thrive on.

go UTES

Hopefully our Texas players will rise to the occasion, and play well! We're goona need any and all the motivation we can muster to come away from TCU with a win!
Go Utes!

Please lose this game to enable the automatic BCS bids for the next two years. Its the best you can do without a playoff.

Couldn't agree more with KW's philosophy. The more talent from a Texas a team lands, the better they are. The only problem is that about 99% of TCU's roster hails from the lone star state, which automatically makes them a superior team- no questions asked. BYU only has 3 players from Texas on its entire roster, which makes them inferior to Utah, and even more inferior to TCU.
Did anybody see the Bingham Trinity game? Bingham is arguably the best 5A team in Utah. Trinity was VERY lucky to make the playoffs in their district, with a team comprised mainly of Juniors and Sophomores. The outcome? Trinity Physically dominated Bingham the entire game. It is simple logic, my fellow Utahns.

Dear "Rollover Utes", when Utah wins and defeats the remaining teams on their schedule San Diego State and byu, the Utes will be 11-1 with two top 20 wins, and will be in the top 12 of the BCS rankings. If Boise and Houston lose, Utah does have a shot to get into a BCS game.....don't ever count out the Utes. A MWC conference BCS team this year will still be a possibility when the Utes pull out yet another BIG win.

If TCU is going to make it to the BCS, I want them to have a good showing to represent the MWC. This means they need to be TESTED by the Utes with the utes giving them EVERYTHING they've got.

Rolling over would not help TCU or the MWC as was shown a couple years ago with Hawaii beating an "unmotivated(?)" Boise State then getting smashed in the BCS by Georgia.

Utah will come at TCU with everything the've got and I am cheering for the Utes all the way. If TCU prevails and goes on to a BCS, so be it, but I will feel better about their bowl chances if they pass this test.

That's why I would be worried as a Boise Fan going into a BCS game. If you beat one top 15 team in early september (Oregon), and then a bunch of average to poor teams since, how would you really know where your team was at 4 months later for the BCS game.

Can't wait for this game, don't count out the Utes!

Spank Texas!!!

It's nice that you think that people in Texas are somehow superior to the rest of civilization. Think whatever you want, it does not make it reality.

Don't know bout all that "Texas" stuff, but I'm here to tell you people, that the CALIFORNIA KID is goin to shine like the California sun in Texas come Saturday. And believe me when I say" he is not scared, he has that CALI SWAGG goin. I would explain it to you,but I ain't got all nite..most all the Football greats are from the state of California..

the Utes dont have a chane!

What a dumb comment. Clearly you have never been introduced to football in Texas...football itself is an institution. Training and motivation through high school is rivaled only by California.

It's interesting to me that you can read this article on football and come away with the notion that "people in Texas are somehow superior to the rest of civilization." This isn't a sociology issue. We are not talking about the character or intelligence level of a state, we are talking about football. Get it?

Besides, the entire world knows that nobody is better (character, etc.) than the people in Utah County. Should anyone forget, you folks are always on hand to remind them.

I'm not a recruiter or anything but i think the best talent is from Texas, Florida, And then California.. California has good players but if you see how many players are ESPN Top 150 prospect most of them are from Texas. California has a lot of good players from there but if I was a recruiter I would try to recruit as many people I could from Texas those boys just got skills..

Why would the Utes need or even want a chane (spelled c-h-a-i-n) in the first place?

a great game. I love my utes, but if TCU wins they will probably get a chance for a big big big bowl. Just don't know who I should support.

Utes may lose this one but it won't be by 31 points.

at delusional Ute fans who think the Utes have ANY chance of winning. You must of not have watched the Utah Air Force game . TCU is just a bigger faster better version of a precision AF team . Nite Nite Utes.

High School Football in Texas is not a sport. It's a religion down there. If you don't believe it go to a Texas high school football game. Any game.

but TCU's defense will score more than your offense. I admire the Utes improving program and the two great seasons they've had this decade, but having a completely inexperienced freshman QB against TCU the way they are playing right now = 2 fumbles and 3 picks, and at least 24 points for TCU off turnovers. Utah's offense, even if it is clicking, couldn't score more than 17 points on TCU. TCU 41, Utah 10 (with the lone TD coming in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter).

Your hoping the utes get blown out because misery likes company.... some how the utes losing will make your loss to tcu less painful...

by the way you were probably saying utah didn't have a chance against alabama last year too, and look what happened.

Go Utes... win or lose, the Utes will show up and TCU will know they have been in a game...

The only thing you should be laughing at the pathetic hopes of BYU every year to make a BCS game and actually beat a tough team. You can laugh at Ute fans who think that maybe Utah will pull it out, but what the rest of college football is laughing at is the poor dillusional cewgs.
