"801 Day" explainer from a recent former student

Was listening to CW and Blum talk about not knowing what '801 day' is, and specifically not knowing the origin of the name. 801 day occurs on the Saturday before classes begin. As far as I am aware, the name originates from the sorority ban on drinking for the entirety of the week leading up to the Saturday during sorority rush. The ban is lifted at 8:01am on that Saturday, hence the name and the extravagant 'extracurricular' activities.

STORY: Easton Dean's finally the senior leader in the TE room. He's acting accordingly.

WTB: RV Spot for 9/23 Oklahoma State

Hello. My family would like to take our camper up to the OSU game on 9/23, and I was planning to just take it to Vet Med, where campers have always been welcome. Thankfully a booster friend told me last week that with all of the lot maintenance there is no public RV parking this season.

Looking for anyone who is interested in selling an RV village spot for the 9/23 game vs. Oklahoma State. Will keep my fingers crossed!

WTB: Free Parking!? I'll give you a parking pass in B3 and buy your parking pass in A3.

Looking for an A3 parking pass...open to options to trade (B3), buy, or combination...Even willing to buy the A3 and just give you the B3. (so that would be free parking for you!)

My tailgating group will be in the A3 so am hoping to acquire a parking pass for that lot as well. I have a B3 pass and am hoping to do any of the following:

1. swap B3 for A3 straight up
2. buy the A3 pass and sell/donate my B3 elsewhere
3. do some combo of the swapping the A3/B3 plus cash.

Feel free to reply here or DM me. Thanks!

RV Village Facebook Group

Good morning all!
I have been chatting with a few individuals on here about starting a RV Village Facebook group to allow all of us to discuss various topics about the village. i.e. What is your favorite tailgating food? Maybe someone left an ingredient at home and wants to see if another fellow Cyclone may have it with them? I know last year I wanted to do a Trick or Treat in the RV Village since a game fell on that weekend for most towns. I seen a CF'er post about a potential bags game. These are all the things, plus anything Cyclone Athletics related that we can discuss. With that being said, I have started the group (linked below). Please feel free to join if you are interested. My goal, as well as others, is to build it out into more of a community setting. Feel free to post any questions!

We did pose some questions to get into the group in hopes of weeding out potential fake accounts.

RV VILLAGE FRIDAY NIGHT CORNHOLE/BAGS TOURNEY?

A few of us talked about it last year but it never really got off the ground.

Would any RV Village tailgaters, that get there Friday, be interested in a beer league cornhole / bags tournament? We thought that if we get enough people, we could ask everyone to give $5/$10/$20 (to be determined) a person entry fee and do a 50/50 split ( or 30/70 if everyone wants to be generous) with the winners and WeWill every Friday night before a home game.

Just tossing it out there to judge interest.

If anyone would be interested, shoot me a PM. Thanks!

Greetings from Utah!

Hello All! We were visited by a few of your friends at utefans.net last week and were invited to take a look around here.

Hopefully you'll tolerate Utah fans once you get to know us. X/Twitter is a cesspool of the worst. I apologize for a couple fools behavior over there who are making people believe they represent Utah. It couldn't be further from the truth!

I am relieved that Utah survived the last few months, but I’m still sad at the loss of the PAC12, especially as someone who lives on the western end. I know we have only been in the conference since 2011, but it’s been our home, we worked very hard to get there and now we are being forced to abandon. I do wish the PAC12 was still alive. I might dislike USC, but I loved playing them and we had a small, budding rivalry with them. I also feel awful for WSU and OSU. When I see them, I’m sorta reminded of Utah from 2004-2014.

It’s also strange because lots of BIG12 fans are acting like we are ungrateful by being upset or sad at the move. I’m absolutely grateful to the BIG12 for giving us a lifeboat, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be sad that the ship sunk.

I'm positive the Big 12 will work for us in terms of excitement, and I’ll say some positive things about our future opponents and games.

Iowa State: I grew to really like the basketball program through Jeff Hornacek. I had the pleasure of watching them when they came to the Salt Lake Regional in the NCAA tournament. I look forward to the Utes getting their butts kicked by them the next few years. The 2010 football game was a crazy one! Reggie Dunn taking it 100 yds on a 3rd quarter kickoff, and Utah putting up 239 yds rushing.

BYU: this is one of the most underrated rivalries in the whole country, and instantly becomes one of the biggest rivalries in the BIG12. The uniform matchup is also the best in CFB (suck it USC and FUCLA).

TCU: I am so excited for this game to be back again. If there is any program that has mirrored Utah for the past 20 years, it’s TCU. They also have some of my favorite uniforms in the whole country.

Arizona, ASU, Colorado: I know these teams aren’t the best in regards to football, but I’m glad they bring a semblance of familiarity to the transition. Colorado is also technically a rival too lmao.

TTU and Cincinnati: Uniform color bros! I’m excited to see what uniforms we wear against each other lol.

Oklahoma State: They are another team that is identical to Utah in a way. I’m excited to see Whitt and Gundy play against each other! Whitt’s overall record is 154-74, with an 11-5 bowl record. Gundy’s overall record is 156-75, with an 11-6 bowl record. That is frighteningly similar lol.

The Utes should come into the conference with a pretty deep team. I'm looking forward to how we stack up week in week out.
