Copied Wyoming of all places lol. And 5000 feet isn’t much.

Yeah...they are actually 4,500. So is Provo.

Google Earth says about 4,620.

I just linked what the Ute website says.

Math/numbers have never been a ute strong point.

5,000 feet is quite a bit. Higher than anywhere east of the Mississippi.

Just hike up the mountain a bit from the Ute campus and you’re at 5,000 feet.

Inflated like their attendance reports.

Inflated like their egos.

Listen, they do the same thing with their athletes 40 times but just to

Basically proof of the "Big Boy Entrance" mantra at RES

Boulder is at 5,318′. So they lose to their rivals again!

They act like a caricature of themselves. It's great.

There is a small “THE SMELL OF” in between the word “TO” and the “5000”

Malcolm Reynolds

It's a matter of precision. At one significant digit, it's 5000 ft.

Think Utah has won 18 straight now at RES in front of a crowd. Can't argue with the results.

TFL

Are you saying the loss to USC in 2020 doesn't count?

Carnac

7/7/23 6:05pm

It's UU's 2020 edition of the Rose Bowl losses.

"In front of a crowd". Nice

Quote from Phil Steele. Relevant. He has a point. RES is a tough place to play

TFL

7/7/23 6:41pm

Doesn't help that they keep canceling games.

WJCougar

7/7/23 7:11pm

May be relevant to Utes, but not to me. Know any Utes you could hang out with?

SageOwl

What does the crowd have to do with it not being 5,000 ft?

ColonelMustard

7/7/23 7:44pm

Exactly

Carnac

7/7/23 8:37pm

Intimidating opponents. Get in their head. Both the crowd and the elevation serve the same purpose.

TFL

7/7/23 9:50pm

Opposing crowds can get into minds

Carnac

7/7/23 10:39pm

Maybe. But like I said, can't argue with the results. Autzen and RES have been the toughest places to play

TFL

7/7/23 10:51pm

What is Autzen's elevation?

Carnac

7/7/23 10:54pm

Irrelevant. Autzen is an extremely tough place to play. As BYU fans know. It's intimidating. RES is prob #2 rn

Disagree in football.

Carnac

I appreciate it. It’s a fresh take. You’re prob right

TFL

They're referring to their max attendance most seasons.

Looks like Utah football did not consult BigUte in their decorating plans.
