People are going to hate it, but game time for Kansas is 8:15 pm

If the players like the late starts and feel it gives them an edge, then I’m all for it.

Just means I’ll likely be asleep before it’s over.

Good for me, I won’t have to start day drinking at 12:30​:grin::grin:

I hate them that late, but I’ll be there. What it will do, however, is really undermine the “White Out” theme for the game. Seriously, who has a closet with all white Utah outwear in it? They just made their own promotion irrelevant.

I wouldn’t use Tony Finau as a point of reference. But hey, you do you.

Yes, I hate it. But it might be an advantage when playing teams from central or eastern time zones. 8:15 for us is 9 or 10:15 for those teams.

I literally lol’d at that.

They could have warm milk and “gummies” available to them in their locker room.

Which is why I regularly have a Sunday “Breakfast with the Utes”. I used to stay up, but decided, the game is just as exciting for me at 9am ET on Sunday as it is at 11pm ET Saturday.

I posted the other day that Utah has won 16 of its last 18 games (including 10 in a row now). What’s even more impressive is that 15 of those 16 wins have come by at least 10 points. That’s quite eye-opening. The only single-digit win in that span was the 51-47 thriller over KSU last season in teh home finale. We could take it a step further and say that 14 of those 16 wins were by at least 14 points and 12 of those 16 wins were by 20 points or more.

Anyone want to hit Wendover to place a bet on the BYE game this week?

I saw the last 5 minutes of BYU-TCU. Is a 17-10 BYU win impressive? Of what I saw, their defense looked sharp.
