Congrats Clones!
You sure? ;) I'm actually pretty bummed ISU's trip to Salt Lake got canceled for next year. Would have been a fun rematch. -

Congrats Clones!
Didn't get a chance to post this yesterday, but wanted to give you guys a hearty congrats for that win yesterday. Those sort of victories (especially on the road) can be huge momentum changers - not only for this season, but for the program moving forward. Of course I'm rooting for ISU from a... -

Thank you Cyclone Fans
Just wanted to add my thanks to the Cyclone fans. That game didn't really go as any of us expected, but y'all were very gracious throughout. Regardless of last night's outcome, ISU seems to be on the right track, and I'll be rooting for you guys going forward. Best of luck the rest of the way... -

Utah's Offense vs. Utah's Opponents' defenses
When your defense and/or special teams regularly puts you in a position where you only need to go 40-50 yards to score, it does tend to skew your total yardage down somewhat. -

Other football teams you root for.
I'll second this...y'all are a class group. I typically become fans of teams whose fanbases are cool when we play them. So I've developed a real liking for Alabama, Oregon State, and ISU. Conversely, I've developed a strong dislike for Pitt, Michigan, and Boise State. Honestly, Boise fans... -

Great post on UteFans with geeky numbers if you are into that thing
Tough to get actual data. According to USA Today, Iowa State is at $45,813,000 and Utah is at $32,026,000 (taken from 08-09 data, the most recent they listed). However, according to Indystar, Iowa State is at $28,913, while Utah is at $25,506,000, with roughly $11.5 million going towards... -

Vuvuzela against the Utes on Saturday - why NOT?!?
So help me, if I have to hear those gorram horns on the TV broadcast, I'm driving to Ames and beating you all over the head with them myself! :twitcy: -

Advice from a Utard fan. :)
We had the same experience with both Pitt and Bama fans. Pitt fans were completely obnoxious online (both when we played them in the Fiesta Bowl in 04, and this year), but were actually very cool in person. Talked to a bunch of them this year...they travel well. While Bama fans were... -

If we beat Utah, should we crack top 25?
One problem is exactly what people have been saying here all week: Utah is completely unproven. If ISU wins, voters will likely discount the win because Utah "obviously doesn't deserve to be there", as one ESPN talking head said yesterday. If you beat Utah then go out and beat OK and/or Texas... -

Diving deeper-Utah/Whitingham undefeated after bye weeks
For whatever it's worth, Utah traditionally struggled against New Mexico while Rocky Long was the coach. He schemed a defense that constantly gave us fits, and playing them was a game that made Utah fans nervous every single year. In fact, New Mexico has beaten Utah 4 times since 2002, which... -

Your very early prediction: Utah @ ISU
True, but it's tough to take much from a season opener (which the Michigan game was) during any season. Coaches always say the biggest improvements in any season come between games 1 and 2, and that year was no different. While we may have started out with a close one against Michigan, we... -

Breaking down Utah--looking forward to the game
Dion Lewis played against us, we just completely shut him down. Unless you were talking about someone else. -

Hello! Greetings from Salt Lake City.
I think Boise is a damn good team that can beat anyone in the country on any given Saturday. That being said, it's pretty easy to stay fresh and healthy when your schedule consists of one good team and 11 scrimmages against the equivalent of high school squads.
