Week 4 Open Thread

LOL. Are you serious? ASU winning isn't devastating, but an ASU loss would have been great for Utah.

Are you a Ute? I hope not because you don't seem to get simple arithmetic.

Yes! (How the hell any Ute fan could have wanted USC to win tonight is beyond me.)

I looked it up, BYU is playing San Jose ST at LES that day. Two huge games in the state same day.

[SeattleUte]

Kiff: FAIL

Barkley: FAIL

SC secondary: FAIL

There goes the bowl game!

Who is the bigger bust, Barkley or Hypes (considering Barkley was more hyped even than Hypes (I realize Barkley is better, in other words))?

[USUC]

LOL. Are you serious? ASU winning isn't devastating, but an ASU loss would have been great for Utah.

Especially considering ASU has to play at Oregon this year, most likely a loss. ASU is really Utah's only threat in the south division. A loss for them is good for Utah.

How are people thinking USC losing is bad for the Utes? Stupid Utes don't listen to 3D. Utah plays UW and ASU the next two weeks at home. If it wins both those games it will be in the Southern Division driver's seat (especailly cosidering both ASU and USC play at Oregon later on). This outcome is great for the Utes.

EDIT: I looked on Utefans and a bunch of stupid Utes think a USC win would have been good for us. They still think we're midmajor and have to hope the team that beats us keeps winning. But we all we have to do is win the conference.

Not only are you a Moran, you don't even realize it. You definitely still think like a mid major.

So (Texas) Tech beat Nevada (35-34) with a come back in the final seconds on fourth down and goal. The Big 12 has had a great weekend. It is possible that as many as seven of the Big 12's teams could be in the top 25 tomorrow (of course, that includes aTm). Crazy.

Did any body know Brock Osweiler is 6'8"? Because he is 6'8". It is important he is 6'8" because he can see over the line. Because he is 6'8".

Are you a Ute? I hope not because you don't seem to get simple arithmetic.

Do you care about going to the PAC 12 title game? Do you even know that USC is inellible? What USC does is irrelevent to Utah. You want everyone else in your division to lose. Geez.

I'm sorry.

Your problem is that Mormons are cheap. I read that you're paying Idaho $500,000 for that game; I didn't know that's how it's done for nonconference games, i.e., every single game an independent plays. But anyway, now that you're not in a conference and forced to play certain teams it's too tempting for the brethren to chintz on the payout. I bet if BYU sprang for some decent bucks it could get even LSU to come. That's my theory anyway.

That's the fallacy of independence. In the Pac 12 Utah gets to play USC, etc. as part of the package, and that fuels the revenue.

Barkley is 20-8 and 3-1 this year. Pretty good, not amazing. Definitely not a bust.

Barkley is also 1-0 vs Utah.

I want to win the southern division absent forfeiture and go to the title game. I believe it's possible.

Had you spent more time around 3D you'd agree with me.

[NorthwestUteFan]

No, $500k is a good investment because ESPN is locked in to buying the game for $1.5M or whatever, plus they get to keep the gate and vending receipts. Not a bad racquet.

p.s. this is my Viking post (2112)

See what I mean.

Your posts are much better when you leave out the gratuitous swipes at mormons and their leders. You should let us mormons do that. Black people can use the N word, white people never should it.

If people rank Tech after a miracle win over Nevada then voters are really pathetic.
