Utah vs. Northern Colorado

[Jarid in Cedar]

The arrogance of Ute fans is astounding!

I am test driving it for the season. I will return it to you if it doesn't suit me.

I know this may anger DDD, but I predict Nadine Wimmer will cheer for the Utes in this game.

Two weeks to game time, and many questions to be answered..

1. How will Brian Johnson's offense play out?
2. Will true freshman Cedrick Potausi start at left tackle?
3. Will NC's offense cross the 50 without the benefit of a return or penalty?
4. Will an athletic but young linebacker corp gel early in the season?
5. Will Jordan Wynn remain upright while in the game?

While Montana State was a talented FCS team with several skilled players, the Bears of Northern Colorado are a bad, bad team. In essence this is a scrimmage that our 3rd string should beat. I see this game as nothing more than a shakedown cruise for the ready of the season.

Here are my responses:

1. awwww hell, I don't give a crap.

I am having a harder and harder time getting into these preseason games.

OK, OK, (slaps self in face a couple of times) I am trying to get into it here.

1)I hope that BJ calls at least two, no, make it 5 reverses, and I hope that at least 2 go for BIG gains, just to freak the hell out of the fan base that he is a closet Ludwig acolyte.

2) I would like a left tackle who can keep Jordan Wynn off the ground to start. If that is a true freshman, that would be cool.

3) I would like to see NC cross the 50 depending on the coin toss. I would like as much action to happen close to the end zone where I will be sitting.

4) Next I would like to see an offensive line gel earlier in the season more so than the linebacking corps. I think that with the secondary (especially when Blechen returns) and the D-line the Utes have could make a one armed man look like a great linebacker. In fact it would be a great time to get an amputee linebacker on the squad if the Utah wants to be a college football first.

5) If JW goes down I think I will poo my pants out of frustration for the poor kid. After I clean up, I will probably go online and call him a wussy and stuff, and demand that BJ start Wilson.

I read this post, really enjoyed the "poo my pants out of frustration" snippet, and immediately thereafter clicked back and saw another thread titled "The Juice is Loose."

Gag me with a spoon.

I am just a tad frustrated that "sassypants" hasn't caught on yet. But I'll stay with it.

Apparently, sassypants didn't practice today. Shoulder pain. Just precautionary. He's really 100%, and all that. I think we've heard this song before.

As Belinda Carlisle once said, "There's an ache in my undercarriage, and it's starting to grow stronger." Or something.

Technically, "tired arm".

This may have been a bad move for Wynn. It gives Hayes and Wilson a chance to shine with the 1s/2s (which they apparently did).

sassypants indeed. I thought that LAUte was now called sassypants?

He was always called that. This is just his subtle way of trying to pass the mantle.

My unsolicited advice: Use Wolfman sparingly if at all. He goes down against a cupcake and you turn the running game over to a JC transfer with a bad wheel. As Wolfman goes, so goes the Utes fortunes. It seems sassypants is the big concern going into camp when really I see the season hinging on the health of one John White XVIII.

I think Wynn will make it through the season. :liar:

You gave me flashbacks of the 2002 season when Marty Johnson went down.

Our running back stable is in much better shape now than in 2002.

Talent? Yes. Experience? No.

I think if York (JC kid right?) is healthy you won't miss a beat and it sounds like some youngsters are impressing in fall camp.

York is 100%. Oliver is a player to watch. He will be the workhorse when York leaves. I suspect we will see lots of him in two weeks.

Where have I heard that before.
