I also love when bad writers combine over-the-top hyperbole with lots of strategic hedging - "These are Gods walking on earth . . . though things might not always go their way and they might stumble here and there, you never know"

A few quotes from the Monson article (so you don't have to read it):

This is the same week as the other article by the Ute homers:

Well if they're hosting a game, they didn't win the league.

threezeroeight

Aug 21, 1:51pm

Exactly, but that also likely only happens if they go at least 11-1 and then

Meh. He might be right.

To guarantee it and mark it down in blood? May happen but that is way too

I always hear how deep the utes are

Lucky for us, BYU has never had any major injuries for any major player ever.

TheNerd

Difference is, nobody claims BYU is deep. Even on CB.

Meh...Utah won 8 games with a D2 QB in a tough conference.

Let's take a look at those big wins last year, shall we?

Is this a serious take? Why skip UF? That’s a Big 12 schedule you show

TFL

Aug 21, 3:46pm

I missed them, sorry I missed 5-7 Florida

Huge Manatee

Aug 21, 3:47pm

It's not about Rising. If you notice on the scores you posted

TFL

Aug 21, 4:07pm

Good post

boctabulous

Aug 21, 4:08pm

In the wins, against average to terrible teams they did play good defense

Huge Manatee

Aug 21, 4:31pm

Bro, the entire 2024 schedule is filled with average to terrible teams. A lot of BYU

TFL

Aug 21, 4:48pm

No one is as bad as Stanford

Huge Manatee

Aug 21, 4:54pm

The problem with OOC record is it has minimal predictive relevance to 2024

TFL

Aug 21, 6:00pm

Because they weren’t in your conference…you said they won a tough conference

ColonelMustard

Aug 21, 4:21pm

Tough conference? Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

ColonelMustard

Aug 21, 4:19pm

Utah was 8-5 in 2023. Almost every standard ranked P12 #2, maybe #3.

TFL

Aug 21, 5:24pm

And Utah beat none of the good teams

Huge Manatee

Aug 21, 5:25pm

I appreciate your cordial post after I was very obnoxious. I don’t know about

ColonelMustard

Aug 21, 8:03pm

No worries. That’s the glory of CB.

TFL

I never said Utah would struggle this year. In fact they have the easiest

ColonelMustard

Need rising to stay healthy though. Wilson is talented but not experienced enough

TFL

Aug 21, 1:54pm

could happen, but ridiculous to "mark it down in Crimson". All it will take...

One crucial piece of missing information is in-helmet communications.

Longseason

Most under-discussed element of the upcoming season

threezeroeight

We know how they did last year: They were 2-5 after it was discovered.

AZ Coug

If their AV department is in charge of helmet comms, they will fail miserably.

With the radio he can fit in his helmet, Cam Rising could change his ...

CougarLegend

There is 0 chance they will host the first round. They could win the big 12

It makes you want Utah to lose every game.

Monson is a clown

What could go wrong?

whoneedscorners?

Aug 21, 2:17pm

Multiple 8-4 seasons and two Rose bowl losses = CFP playoffs. Makes sense.

DoomGuy

Just takes one good hit on rising for the dream to be over.

Wow - cleaned his clock

StoneyCurtis

Aug 21, 4:21pm

So, wanting to injure a player is a good thing?

ImaFBfan

Nah just humble them

44C

Aug 21, 7:37pm

They are all assuming that Rising will be an elite level QB

No, it's not - that's pathetically bad and just embarrassing for a paid writer.

A team can't win the Big12 AND host a first-round game...right? Don't the top 4 slots go to the conference champs, who

Well it sounds like they’ve won the pre-season national championship

Likely to be Utah's second national championship.
