Utah's best running back died a year ago. That kid was pretty unstoppable. Utah wins with Ty Jordan.

She's a Ute.
They fucking came to play and wanted it and I can respect that. And for the most part they played very well. They just had no answer for Stroud and Njigba, and OSU was bound to make a defensive play eventually. Like someone up the thread said, this is an example of stars. You have a team missing more than a handful of its key players and that's still thinking about the Michigan loss (see Stroud's post-game for evidence), you have Ute looking to cap a historic season for Ute, they're playing big, punch Buck in the mouth from the beginning, and still they lose.
It's one thing to just lose, but it's another to know you gave the other guy your best haymaker, and he got up and knocked you out.
Imagine the Rose Bowl game, and then imagine instead of Utah it was Oregon and everything else is the same. Now let’s go through the “ but but but” shit and tell me how that goes over with you.
Fuck it. I showed some compassion; I now take it back. Utah played over their heads and when it mattered Buck bent Ute over. And the expected outcome came to fruition as expected.
Fuck off Ute and your minions. The program is dead and has no future. Games like that are program killers. Go back to the shitty conference from whence you came.
They scored -4 the first time, then skulled by Hebert or whoever the second time, then they benefited from a historically bad Pac this year, just to get to the rose.
They know they're aren't getting these kinds of opportunities every year and Whittingham is close to retiring.
They care. That much is true. They won't get walked all over in the South but this could be their only rose bowl ever.
I realize that Ute beating Oregon twice made temporary fan boys out of some of the local doogery, but try and control yourself.
Cold hard facts. That's called smooth sustained growth. You might be unfamiliar with that.
8, 5, 5, 9, 10, 9, 7, 9, 11 and 10 win seasons in the Pac 12 with bowl victories in the Sun, two Vegas, a Foster Farms and a Heart of Dallas Bowl and losses in the Holiday, Alamo and Rose bowls translates to:
"Utahs trajectory as a program is arguably the best in the nation over the past dozen years or so"
for you, then please stay on your side of the stadium.
What it says to me, especially given the history of the division in which they play, is stable program with stable good but not great coaching. A HC who either doesn't have what it takes to play big OR is at a place where he's doing the most that can be done with what's there. Either way, "best trajectory in the nation" is not what comes to mind.
Maybe you got carried away with your drafting or English isn't your first language. Either way, your "cold hard facts" fell flat.
That's not a meltdown my struggling Canadian friend. That's me being me. Take or leave it. IDGAF.
Good decision. -
You most certainly did. At least until the blood the pressure meds kicked in.creepycoug said:Yep, I woke up today and thought that the upside of Ute losing was that it opened up an opportunity to make me tough.
That seems pretty stupid too.
I don't write the stories. Take it up with the media. But going in without your top 2 receivers and two starting corners among others seems like at least a marginally significant point.
Anyway. -
Do you know what trajectory means? There are many better teams that have been at the top for a long time. It means a lesser team that has brought itself up. Hthcreepycoug said:

But best trajectory in the nation IMO.WoolleyDoog said:The Pac-12 champion lost to BYU (by 9), San Diego State and an Ohio State team who had their best offensive players sitting out and an atrocious defense. Can we go home now?

NM. I'm just puzzled why there is such a long argument about Uoogs here. Everyone knows what they are. I like them for it. It's impressive and entertaining to see him cobble together teams that, every time I watch, surprise me with how many good players they have. Thats a spunky little program and a spunky little stadium they have. If I was going or had gone to Utah for whatever weird reason, I think I'd be a pretty bad Uoog. That looks pretty fun.
Trajectory though? Same one they've been on forever. It goes to 10-3 or 11-2 max. They'll never make a 4 team playoff let alone compete in one. -
I wanted Utah to win too, but 89Utes “we” post and follow up was cringe and embarrassing.creepycoug said:
If this somehow translated to massive recruiting and it was still unknown what KW could do with a top 10 or 15 class, then you'd wonder, "hmm, give him another recruiting cycle and let's see." But it probably won't. Yeah they play hard and produce some good players and they're normally not an easy out. And, I started this whole discussion with an acknowledgement that they took their best shot and played out of their minds. But, it's hard to ignore the reality that with everything lined up as good as it's going to get, they lost to a seriously flawed Ohio State team. I give them credit for leaving nothing on the field. But the idea that this is a harbinger of greatness to come is wishful thinking. And they better find a fucking corner back because Riley will have Trojan throwing the ball downfield, and like I said, I have a sneaking suspicion that either or both UW and Duck will be no cake walk next season. So it's not like the conference is gift wrapped for them. Oregon just skull fucked them hard in the P12 CCG a couple of years ago and look where they are now.AtomicDawg said:
I don’t think they are a great power. But certainly are the tallest midget right now. Especially in the south. That’s what this conference is a bunch of midgets.MikeDamone said:
They will be on a slide. Being the favorite to win the pac 12 preseason next year is the tallest midget in the circus. Do they play San Diego state again? To think they are building to something bigger is idiotic fan speakAtomicDawg said:
They’re likely the favorite to win the conference next year. It’s not doom and gloom unless you’re a huge pussy.MikeDamone said:
Exactly. This was their shot. Lost a few pac 12 championship games, finally got there,then shit the bed. Wittingham is long in the tooth. This was the pinnacle. It’s a few season decline to 5-7. Simple fact.haie said:
Ehh these are the kinds of games teams don't come back from. Lloyd is gone next year, Whittingham maybe has one more season left.89ute said:We'll be back, fuck off.
The poaster who mentioned stars, I very much agree. However, I doubt any program in the nation has a 4 star on their four deep. We were out of corners when our #3 guy went down late in the championship game.
We had one of our RBs (Bernard) playing corner the entire game and still took a few RB reps. The kid learned the position in four weeks. Smith-Njigma 347 yards, nuff said about that.
So go fuck yourself with your 4 stars. There is no such thing as a 4 star on a 4 deep roster anywhere in the nation.
And double go fuck yourself because I still thought we would win. OSU did not want to be there and neither did their fans, we did.
We didn't win, they did fair and square even though we had an edge. We did not overcome the Bernard match up against Smith-Nigma.
Has nothing to do with times out, go for two or on sides kick.
It was a good game, they won. We go home and get better like we do every fucking year.
Barely missing out on winning the South and then a new staff and rebuild seems like the more likely outcome.
I don't hate Ute like I do Cuog, so this is a sober take. I wanted them to win frankly because I'm a bit like Woolley on the Big 10 shit (which is more historical bias on my part but whatever). But if this trip to the Rose somehow helps them level up in recruiting, then of course all bets are off. That goes for any program. -
Now you're twisting. After a perspective walk I was a bit hyperbolic perhaps but they've gone from the MW > PAC12 > South Champs > Pac Champs and 1 score loss to AN Osu. Pretty impressive and losing their first ever RB is still a great season for them and their recruiting.RaceBannon said:From 12-0 in 08 to 9-4 today

Think I'm done now I don't want the Uoog label -

Also, what is the Utah equivalent of a doog/coog. Uoog? Whatever it is, you are one.
An alleged Utah fan who is obsessed with BYU. Would like to see BYU lose as much (or more than) seeing Utah win. The Utah equivalent of a Coog.
It's also over-the-top excitement for anything that is currently happening in the program, regardless of what it is. Kick ass pressers, FREE PUB!, incremental progress, best recruiter in the nation, best assistants in the nation, molder of men, five tough questions, no rap music at practice, rap music at practice, finally a coach with discipline, finally a players coach, Kyle Whittingham/Urban Meyer/Ron McBride is a breath of fresh air....
