$100 for you $100 for charity of your choice if you win
You only need to pay $50 and $50 if you lose. Deal?

I see Houston (maybe) and I'm not sure who else.
Outside chance we win two before ASSU and the team feels cornered and gives ASSU a game.

Re: 2024 Season Thread
I feel like there’s a lesson to be learned here…
I wonder what it was that bettors saw that brought the line down so much? Maybe just a lack of confidence in Utah with a freshman QB even at home?

Re: 2024 Season Thread
Just want to come on here and apologize to my BDW brothers and sisters for being so down prior to last night. Also to the team that might've seen my posts. My concern was with the coaches-not the players.
I follow this program year round and get too tied up in it. I also spend far too much time on this site.
Our guys, when they play like they played last night, inspire me so much. Young men giving everything they have for something with uncertain results.
Anyway, I know nobody really cares about what I say, but I value the insight of every one of you and appreciate what I learn from you.
Also, thanks for the stream. You guys saved me.
Now let's get after it this coming Saturday!

AZ is #26 in the AP poll
Re: 2024 Season Thread
Classic homer-media misdirection. That take didn’t last very long either. The XII is a very mediocre football conference, and that is with the addition of the Pac’s detritus which upped the level.
Been wondering since preseason how long it would take until every single team in the Top 15 is from the B1G or SEC or named Notre Dame.

How does this end/blow up winger?
Re: 2024 Season Thread
Not Winger but I've always figured that we were going down the path of having a handful (2-3) super-conferences split by geographic areas that is very similar to the Pro sports divisions.
Was thinking it would be in about 5-10 years time we'd be there, but maybe it comes along quicker

BYU in the daytime is great for us as they tend to be a vampire team:

I don't think Coach Brennan would embarass a coach in public. I definitely think Babers was just demoted. I wouldn't be surprised to see him retire at the end of the season. Let him sit in the press box and act like he's calling things.Fishclamps wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 3:01 pm He could just be saying that to protect Babers.
