Serious question from a Ute Fan...

sigepute

10/4/15 8:11pm

Because we are not bandwagon fans

mobomanjoe

10/4/15 8:13pm

*Because we aren't a bandwagon fanbase.

SD-Y-FAN

10/4/15 8:57pm

Because we are fans is the easy/obvious answer.

10/4/15 8:13pm

bc unless you're in the playoff, who really cares about bowls?

Tortillero

10/4/15 8:14pm

I like seeing the team play every week.

SCcoug

10/4/15 8:14pm

Whether we win or lose? Bronco? Is that you?

10/4/15 9:45pm

The 57K that showed up on Friday were cattle prodded into the stadium

cougarblue

10/4/15 8:15pm

What?

travelcoug

10/4/15 8:23pm

serious statement...you are the definition of little brother

coug10278

10/4/15 8:15pm

Wrong

JohnnyComeLately

10/4/15 8:15pm

Serious question.......why do you troll from your mother's basement?

Left Shark Coug

10/4/15 8:15pm

Obvious troll is obvious

bluebloodedcoug

10/4/15 8:16pm

So who did you cheer for before 2008?

bushy7

10/4/15 8:16pm

Ive been attending Utah games since the early 1990's.

sigepute

10/4/15 8:17pm

Then you should already know the answer to the question you asked.

10/4/15 8:18pm

check and mate

swingcat

10/4/15 8:24pm

Thread should just end here

Flyski

10/4/15 9:03pm

you walked right into that one pute

palangi

10/4/15 9:31pm

BengalCougar just won the internet.

byujacob

10/4/15 9:35pm

most of the utah fans i ever talk to started right around 2004 or 2005

budYu

10/4/15 8:38pm

I like football.

10/4/15 8:16pm

You should pose this question to the 15K that sat in Rice Stadium

cougarblue

10/4/15 8:18pm

If BYU were 5-0 they might have those (nearly) same big options.

Spindash

10/4/15 8:18pm

I agree with you.

sigepute

10/4/15 8:19pm

When a team gets on a good roll, undefeated or one loss

Spindash

10/4/15 9:03pm

It is probably hard for one whose fandom

10/4/15 8:19pm

Because its BYU football and there is still plenty that keeps my interest.

CougarsFanSince80s

10/4/15 8:19pm

I get that.

sigepute

10/4/15 8:20pm

If the teams positions were reversed, would you not care about yewtah anymore?

cougarnerd

10/4/15 8:20pm

FTW

coug10278

10/4/15 8:21pm

I would love the Utes. I would just be extremely frustrated that Independent

sigepute

10/4/15 8:22pm

Unless it is the playoff, why does the name of the bowl even matter?

10/4/15 8:27pm

I just like that each game still matters for Utah. Even if BYU loses to Wagner

sigepute

10/4/15 8:34pm

Each game matters for BYU, I think that's what you don't understand

cougarnerd

10/4/15 8:35pm

"Matters" vs "has an impact on post season play" is a different definition

sigepute

10/4/15 8:42pm

You are starting to change your words and grasp at straws

cougarnerd

10/4/15 8:57pm

That's like saying the conference doesn't matter. It could be the SEC or the WAC

Juice1219

10/4/15 8:37pm

It's not like saying a conference doesn't matter at all. That's a terrible

10/4/15 8:53pm

Is a bowl why you watch? Marketers have dreams about chumps like you.

Ragnar Danneskjold

10/4/15 8:21pm

Yup. I'll probably watch the Rose Bowl this year no matter who is playing

sigepute

10/4/15 8:51pm

College football is all about playing for consolation games

Remigius

10/4/15 8:22pm

But you can't tell me that you'd be as excited to watch the New Mexico bowl

sigepute

10/4/15 8:24pm

Fine, you talked me into it. Time to go back to the WAC and the Holiday every yr

Left Shark Coug

10/4/15 8:27pm

But don't you think you'd have a better path to a New Year's day bowl game if

sigepute

10/4/15 8:29pm

No, if we're being stupid, the WAC it is.

Left Shark Coug

10/4/15 8:32pm

It is really all the same to me

Remigius

10/4/15 8:37pm

This is a great point. Independence offers multiple bowl games essentially.

10/4/15 8:27pm

Wow. Very original. Did you come with thi all by yourself? Your parents must be

10/4/15 8:23pm

My parent love me very much. I assume yours love you as well.

sigepute

10/4/15 8:24pm

Yep, even when I make lame-yewt attempts to troll.

10/4/15 8:25pm

Not meaning to troll, just asking a question. Also I love Buc-ee's (your avatar)

sigepute

10/4/15 8:28pm

Ok. You got me. You mentioned bucees, so you definitely have to be a good guy.

10/4/15 8:49pm

Again, another thoughtful and honest response. Nicely done. I respect that.

sigepute

10/4/15 8:53pm

question back at ya: how did a ute fan survive the WAC and MWC?

ds7

10/4/15 8:25pm

But that's my point back in the MWC days there were still 4 or 5 different

sigepute

10/4/15 8:26pm

not for utah...they were going nowhere...

ds7

10/4/15 8:31pm

don't forget that we made a couple of Copper Bowls back in the day

sigepute

10/4/15 8:37pm

and beat some mid-level PAC team that didn't want to be there...

ds7

10/4/15 8:40pm

touche

sigepute

10/4/15 8:43pm

Wow. I'm a dumber person for having read that. Thanks

kansascougar

10/4/15 8:27pm

I highly doubt that is possible....

sigepute

10/4/15 8:38pm

Ultimately I just want to see my team play. Playing in an elite bowl would

ocmyhome

10/4/15 8:30pm

That was a thoughtful and well worded response without a personal attack. TY!

sigepute

10/4/15 8:32pm

Because the bowl is just one part of the season

Hoax

10/4/15 8:33pm

But don't tell me that you wouldn't kill to see BYU in the Rose Bowl??!!

sigepute

10/4/15 8:41pm

Been there, done that. Two weeks ago mate.

10/4/15 8:46pm

RE: But don't tell me that you wouldn't kill to see BYU in the Rose Bowl??!!

Because this season is a gradual buildup to next season, when BYU will bring a

Rocketman

10/4/15 8:36pm

Should be a fun game. However I'm in the camp that thinks the rivalry is too

sigepute

10/4/15 8:39pm

so wrong...

ds7

10/4/15 8:45pm

well, the Utes are currently ranked #5 in the country so the evidence would

sigepute

10/4/15 8:47pm

well, where you're ranked 1st week in october doesn't matter one bit...

ds7

10/4/15 8:54pm

Youre right. It's still very early in the season. I don't think any true Ute fan

sigepute

10/4/15 8:58pm

The biggest sporting event (by far) in the state of Utah serves as great, great

Rocketman

10/4/15 8:46pm

But Utah was able to schedule Michigan this year instead of BYU...I think most

sigepute

10/4/15 8:49pm

Some U fans believe that, true. However, I believe your AD now understands how

Rocketman

10/4/15 8:51pm

I'll be honest. It sucks.

foofcoug

10/4/15 8:41pm

^^ This guy seems to get it ^^ Bravo for admitting this.

sigepute

10/4/15 8:44pm

If you spend any time on CB at all

bluebloodedcoug

10/4/15 8:51pm

While Foof is right... you were just trolling for this response?

10/5/15 9:05am

not really...it's been a lot of fun going to venues like notre dame, virginia,

ds7

10/4/15 8:49pm

I agree with that. Neither BYU or Utah deserve another road game in Laramie...

sigepute

10/4/15 8:56pm

I didn't say that the MWC was better.

foofcoug

10/4/15 8:57pm

Every team that has lost two games is in the same position

Remigius

10/4/15 8:50pm

There are a crapload more options for the postseason in a P5 conference.

foofcoug

10/4/15 8:58pm

foofcoug seems like my kind of guy!

sigepute

10/4/15 8:59pm

A yewt?

SD-Y-FAN

10/4/15 9:01pm

Just because I agree with some of what you have to say doesn't mean I like you

foofcoug

10/4/15 9:02pm

ok, we won't be friends... I just think you have an easier path to

sigepute

10/4/15 9:04pm

And that's where our opinions diverge. (PS - it's not the friends part)

foofcoug

10/4/15 9:07pm

I can appreciate your opinion on that. Sadly unless the Big12 comes calling,

sigepute

10/4/15 9:09pm

How kind of you to enlighten us on the situation.

swingcat

10/4/15 10:34pm

Right. But I think the point was that those are all consolation games

Westsider

10/4/15 9:01pm

Careful, foof doesn't connect the dots too well.

SD-Y-FAN

10/4/15 9:02pm

I connect the dots just fine. I just don't lie to myself to make myself feel

foofcoug

10/4/15 9:10pm

I don't disagree with that. But I doubt the players give up after a loss b/c

SD-Y-FAN

10/4/15 9:22pm

Check some of the player comments regarding the USU loss last year.

foofcoug

10/4/15 9:23pm

His question seems to be more about bowl options than about

10/4/15 9:06pm

I'd much rather have P5 postseason optionS than Independence option.

foofcoug

10/4/15 9:13pm

I don't think anyone is saying Indy options over Power 5

JohnnyComeLately

10/4/15 9:18pm

I think MWC over Indy is a better route for BYU

sigepute

10/4/15 9:20pm

The schedules they have now will get them into the playoff in a special season

10/4/15 9:22pm

But you still have to go virtually undefeated. If you join the MWC you simply

sigepute

10/4/15 9:25pm

The MWC is fine if NY6 is your goal. It's not the goal for my team.

10/4/15 9:31pm

If our goal was just to get an easier payout you are right

Remigius

10/4/15 10:56pm

We did the MWC, going back would be a mistake.

JohnnyComeLately

10/4/15 9:26pm

RE: I don't think anyone is saying Indy options over Power 5

foofcoug

10/4/15 9:21pm

That's not a serious question. Yet, one Yewt fans can answer given their program

Real Men Wear Blue

10/4/15 8:41pm

Wow. You guys got it made. Good thing the PAC 12 fell into your laps.

10/4/15 8:43pm

I agree with you that the Pac12 invitation was very fortunateness.

sigepute

10/4/15 8:45pm

About like winning a $350M lottery - the U hit the mother load. In what other

Rocketman

10/4/15 8:49pm

social factors? Utah's invitation was driven by it's status a as a major

sigepute

10/4/15 9:00pm

That's cute you think that.

Ragnar Danneskjold

10/4/15 10:35pm

If not CFP/NY6, all other bowls are basically the NIT. Not that interesting

10/4/15 8:43pm

That is probably true. But I still prefer some level of intrigue with for

sigepute

10/4/15 8:50pm

You won't get an argument out of me. All the other guys in this thread can put

UNLVcougar

10/4/15 9:02pm

your rational perspective on a tough situation is refreshing

sigepute

10/4/15 9:06pm

You do realize that the only reason we aren't in the Pac 12 is bigotry right?

Still Open

10/4/15 9:04pm

One could argue that the ONLY reason that you're NOT is the same reason

sigepute

10/4/15 9:06pm

I hope the Pac 12 also excludes Catholics, Protestants, Latinos, African

Still Open

10/4/15 9:08pm

By your resounding logic, Utah shouldn't be allowed to have any Mormons on any

That's not what i'm implying at all. All schools in the Pac12 are

With three exceptions, bowl games are exhibition games. Never matter to me.

Jeremy

10/4/15 9:06pm

The Rose Bowl isn't EXACTLY an exhibition game my friend.

sigepute

10/4/15 9:08pm

utah isn't as good as arizona...and their fans have been saying that for

10/4/15 9:22pm

If it's not the CFP, it is absolutely an exhibition game. No other way around it

What is it? A really good exhibition game?

And its not for us?

You're not going to make the CFP or the Rose Bowl, so how do you

Kerbouchard

10/4/15 9:24pm

You very well might be right. But you're missing the point. We still have a

Utah still has a chance because they haven't dropped 2 games like BYU has.

Honest answer? Many of us don't. It sucks.

If your senior QB goes down, you might be asking yourself the same question in a

10/5/15 12:19am

The "We win every game with Taysom" attitude feels old.

sheriffcreg

10/5/15 7:47pm

You think he is only referring to Taysom? He mentioned multiple injuries

cougarnerd

10/5/15 7:53pm

You're right.

Westsider

10/5/15 7:57pm

That's cause Jordan Wynn was pretty crappy by that point in his career.

Left Shark Coug

10/5/15 8:00pm

Oh and I can't believe you compared Wynn to Taysom, that's just wrong

cougarnerd

10/5/15 8:07pm

Wynn:Hays is comparable to Taysom:Mangum

sheriffcreg

10/6/15 7:41am

I see your point, and I agree.

Westsider

10/6/15 8:15am

Utah beat Michigan due to Treviso Wilson runs. I'm not saying BYU

10/5/15 8:08pm

^^^Compared Taysom to Jordan Wynn. lol

Because a lot of us are interested in the football itself.

Are you aware that Utah played football prior to 2004?
