LSU, so used to wearing white at home, accidentally puts on the white USU jerseys and plays the entire game as the Aggies.

The "pressbox" is actually a huge recruiting tool. The athletes have to hang out there all the time or they don't eat. That's where the training table is. So every evening they dine whilst watching the sun go down over the valley and watching whatever tv they want on the overheads. It's so much mor...

I don't think they necessarily care about his numbers this year. I think the NFL scouts look more at fundamentals, arm strength, and potential. Great numbers help, but don't always translate into NFL success. Look at all the star NCAA QBs who put up amazing numbers but were flops in the NFL. In fact...

Is that yalls old coach? If so when did he leave? What's up with y'all and the pistol offense? Do y'all still run it? Can I get a little history on it? One more thing. Did y'all lose any players of importance this past year? Seems last year was a special year here, if I remember correctly Our QB, L...

Statistically our rushing has been virtually identical to last year. According to ESPN stats, the 2018 team averaged 5.5 yards per rush and averaged 203.2 yards per game. This year's team is averaging 5.3 yards per rush and 206.8 yards per game. Passing yards per game is up as well, with 294.2 yards...

What concerns me the most is our red zone offense. We have been terrible at scoring once in the red zone. Our red zone TD scoring rate is something like half the FBS average. Discounting the last possessions against CSU and SDSU, where the team took a knee in the victory formation while in the red z...

I always wondered why LSU insisted on white jerseys for home games, their purple/gold combo looks so good. Of course I wonder why any football team insists on wearing white at home when their team colors look better. Even though I hate the Dallas Cowboys, I love their blue jerseys. I also really lik...

BYU at 37.4% baffles me too. BYU is bad, and looked bad in week one. We have them at home and have a two game win streak as well.

Auburn may have been down in 2011. But USU was coming off a 4-8 campaign, and Auburn had won a national championship in their previous game.

I was honestly pleasantly surprised by a lot of players. But could not be more disappointed in coaching. For the most part I agree. Our offense is very Vanilla and way easier to defend than last year. But this is typical for game one with a virtually entirely new offense and new coaching staff. On ...

Yeah, not a fan of the play not to lose strategy. Wake is an up tempo team, like USU. Trying to run out the clock with two or three minutes does not do much unless you can realistically leave them with only 30 seconds or so. I don't mind doing some runs to force them to burn timeouts, but I do think...

I would love to see a good rugby style USU shirt.

Agree on the logo, don't change it yet again. Since I went to USU in 1989, we have had at least five different primary helmet logos. Stick with one, and have one or two variations for special events.

swordsman1989

I hate the constant changing of the logos. Stick with what we have now!

To be fair Utah had some key injuries in football last year and nearly won the PAC and have some of that talent returning. Although I don’t think they are a team worthy of the playoffs if they beat Wazzou & U Dub they could very well make it. We got smacked around by BYU in hoops last year. Althoug...

The legislature and the bd of regents have really screwed higher ed in Utah. Every community college should not be called a university. Universities are research institutions, and Utah has exactly 2 public research institutions. But if you’re going to go down that road, at least follow the UC/Cal S...

I fear both UVU and Weber in the future, however as of today we are much better academically than either of those two are, so we need to keep that status. The business school is a great example when S.A. got Huntsman involved it became his goal to make USU one of the finest Business school in the c...

Stan Cazier was the worst president USU has seen in a while. He was president all 4 years I was there. Never saw him once. I was in student government, and never even laid an eye on him. For the life of me, I can’t understand why they named the new library after him. Perfectly good naming opportuni...

Not to mention when was the last time we actually won a road game against a P5 school?

Didn't we do that last year in Provo? Oh...wait, you meant a real P5 school, not one who thinks they are!

I would make the case that 72 games against Colorado State would constitute a rivalry. It was just dormant for many years, with only three meetings between 1980 and 2010. But it has been played again for 8 straight years and the overall series is pretty close. The past eight meetings are split at 4 ...

What are the thoughts on Chuck Bell? He was controversial and rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, but he did get a lot done while at USU: -Getting USU athletics in compliance with title IX. -Installation of premium seating and lights in the stadium. -The Laub Indoor Training Center. -Starting wome...

I am a white guy, and raised Mormon, but grew up in New Hampshire. Logan was a HUGE culture shock to me. I came to love the place, but it took a while to get used to.

my first UState game was when k-state came to Romney, I think US lost by about 10 or 14?

Kansas State has visited Logan twice. In 1970 Kansas State beat USU 37-0. In 1992 USU beat Kansas State 28-16.

Kent State visited Logan once, in 1973, and beat USU 27-16.

Somehow I am over what happened in 1907. Have no problem with the Utes and no use for BYU. Yeah, it didn't stop in 1907. In 1960 they destroyed the Skyline Conference, and cut Utah State out of the WAC. They consistently blocked our entry to the WAC/MWC until they left for the PAC. Now, they won't ...

We should have been a 10 win team anyway. We lost heart breaker to Baylor, last second TD. Utah dropped punt and we have them beat. Nevada in a shootout 44 to 41. LSU kicked our butt and I cannot remember who else we lost too that year. That was the first year we had lights at the stadium. Our five...

Sadly I was near the top of the student section, so the goal posts were already down by the time I made it to the field.

I think TV has ruined college football. Weeknight games are only the tip of the iceberg. The last several games I went to in person were nearly four hours long, and constantly held up for television breaks. It was quite miserable compared to what I experienced while at USU back in the mid 1990s. Thi...

I certainly agree with you about UCLA heading to the Rose Bowl. I regularly get LA layovers, and our hotel is right in downtown LA, near the Staples Center, and it routinely takes us over an hour to get from LAX to the hotel. And we get to use the HOV lanes too. I lived in LA for a couple of years,...

Semi-seriously, what if a booster won a big Powerball or Mega-Millions jackpot, how much of an investment would it take to secure a USU invite?
