I realize it’s bad form to reply to your own post, but given that Cam was not playing again tonight, and the way the rest of the team was outplyaed by a supposedly mediocre Arizona team, those Cougar board posters might be right

Is there any idea if Cam is playing this year?
Watching him on the sideline last night I never saw a shot of him grabbing his helmet and pleading with the coach to be put in.
Maybe the camera man just didn’t show that part….

As both a BYU alum, and a BYU/Utah fan, I care. I love Alabama doing well. Alabama rates pretty low in all of the academic criteria that people usually often use to look down on other schools. (The charts that TJ Altimore makes on daily basis for his fascist fantasies)

It’s not a great academic institution in the AAU realm but for getting people from a backward state more education it’s not bad. It’s really for people who aspire to be a business major who want to live in Atlanta or Bham. Or to help keep the traditions of gerrymandering and voter suppression in the state through their pre-law program.
It has a decent music program as well. Auburn is the superior academic institution.

Absolutely, educating non-elites is much more important.

The team needs to be playing well for something like that to happen.

On the contrary. As I recall, that happened during the TCU blowout debacle.

B1G and SEC talking scheduling partnership, sigh!
Just another brick in the wall
likely end of Utah ever being able to schedule a B1G or SEC team regular season
Utah was never going to get an SEC team anyway because they have to have their 3-4 cupcakes every year

LOL. Yup. Alabama with that Wisconsin Road trip and hosting USF after going to them in 2023 this season, 2025 Hosting Wisconsin and going to FSU, 2026 at West Virginia (in your conf), USF at home and hosting FSU, 2027 Hosting West Virginia (in your conf) and at Ohio State, 2028 Hosting Ohio State and going to Oklahoma State (in your conf), 2029 Hosting Oklahoma State and going to Notre Dame, 2030 Hosting Notre Dame and going to Georgia Tech, 2031 Hosting Ga. Tech and going to Boston College, 2032 Hosting Arizona (in your conf) and going to Minnesota, 2033 Hosting Minnesota and Going to Arizona (in your conf), 2034 Going to Va Tech and Hosting Boston College, 2035 Hosting Va Tech.
The whole “SEC doesn’t schedule anybody” is a very 2011 argument. Yes, they still play a small school who wants a payday and Alabama is pushing for an extra conference game. I just don’t think that Utah is out of the realm of being scheduled by an SEC team either. It’s a benefit to play Utah. You literally are on Arkansas and LSU’s schedule and just had a series with UF.
like a fish to water
2024 schedules
Ole Miss: Furman, MDSTU, Georgia Southern
Texas A&M: NM State, Bowling Green, McNeese St.
Missouri: UMASS, Murray St., Buffalo
South Carolina: Wofford, Old Dominion, Akron
Kentucky: Murray St., Ohio, Southern Miss
Tennessee: UTEP, Chattanooga, Kent State
Yawn, I could go on and on

“Like a fish to water” is correct. Because it’s a tired argument for lazy fans.
Each of those six schools have a P4 non-conference match up. Also, you count G5s as bad scheduling. Because 1/3rd of those are FCS (agree eliminate that and add the 10th conference game) and the other 2/3 are G5s. Also, did Southern Utah become a P4 team or even G5? How about Utah State? (Utah has Cal Poly, Weber and Idaho on future schedule) Let’s not act like most P4 teams aren’t padding with FCS schools.
Lastly, do you think scheduling is why they are a dominant conference? Or is it talent level they attract?
Please do. I want to hear how scheduling makes it a weaker conference. You said “Utah was never going to get an SEC team anyway” Meanwhile having them on the schedule. Just lazy.
EDIT: Since 2011 outside of Covid and an off year Utah has had FCS teams on their schedule. They have played 1 SEC series Home and Home. They have 2 more series set up with SEC schools. You actually have less Big 1G series and you were in conference with some of those dudes. lol
Thank you for keeping me abreast of the situation.

I don’t think you understand. Did anyone say scheduling makes it a weaker conference? Where did that come from? Those voices in your head are getting louder and are clouding your thinking.
If the B1G and SEC work out a scheduling agreeement (likely a game/per team each year) and the SEC continues the tradition of scheduling 3 Coast Guard Acadamy, Little Sisters of the Poor or Devry Secretarial School of the blind type institutions that leaves no scheduling room for anyone else. Right? NOTE: since an agreement hasn’t been reached yet. It doesn’t affect Utah vs. Arkansas or LSU (yet), but I suspect those will be quickly cancelled if an agreement is reached.
Meanwhile telling me I have voices in my head you missed where I showed Alabama (as well as others) schedule 2 P4 schools each year. The typical Ute voice in the head of “woe is me” is old. Y’all make Rose Bowls. You are not like scheduling Cal or South Carolina. The agreements are great but this isn’t to say the ACC and Big XII wouldn’t be able to do the same thing. Teams will still want to play 2 P4 games if possible to help with getting in the 12 team playoff.
Why would a team who is wanting to make the playoff stick to 1 P4 game non-conference when a team like Alabama who can afford a light schedule because of brand is playing 2?
for every Alabama, there are a dozen other SEC schools that are scheduling 3 out of conference cupcakes every year and one P4. That’s just a simple fact. In past years some SEC schools have scheduled 4 gimmies.
Being an outsider you simply don’t understand. Utah used to get Oregon, Washington and USC regularly on the schedule. We’d like to get a few dates with those types of programs again. But, that opportunity is vanishing. Its great for you and the half-dozen other programs you claim to be a fan of. Its not so great for fans of schools in the lesser two of the P4, like the Big XII and ACC.
I think you are making some pretty big assumptions. Also, you just mentioned PAC 12 schools. Before jointing you were a G5 and of course G5s get scheduled but how many were home and home? I honestly don’t remember a consistent SC home and home non conference series when Utah was in MWC. Maybe I missed it.
The P4 concern I understand but scheduling is not the worry, to me. It’s a Merger of SEC/Big 1G. That said, at this moment I am not sure Big 1G is to the SEC level and we are seeing better competition from the ACC and Big XII. So who knows. The sport is slowly making me tune out.
