Cowboy Boot Ute Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 New to this board. But just read this story in my local "newspaper" and not sure I agree but I think Wilson is better than what he showed against WSU. Afraid Utes will be spanked by UCLA. http://www.standard.net/Extra-Point/2014/09/30/Kyle-Whittingham-needs-to-say-away-from-the-panic-button.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You know, something just occurred to me. The last Pac 12 team that was undefeated after beating Michigan was Oregon. They came back home to have the Cougs kick their butts 55-16 in Autzen. Utah got off easy. Word of warning Pac 12 teams, play Michigan if you want. Beat them like a drum. Just don't come home to play WSU next. We'll kick your asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Hail Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah you tell 'Em. I just remembered one time while at a Cal game, I saw a UCLA fan order a hot dog but didn't bother to add ketchup. UCLA lost that game, lesson learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUGRDON Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah, in 2002 and 2003 we were better than Michigan. Some trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 i have two trains of thought to that: 1. you were very good, but that '03 michigan team was hailed as a national title favorite and had a heisman front-runner, to say nothing of the fact that MICHIGAN was coming to autzen. there was going to be an emotional downturn no matter who we played the following week. 2. that said, you would have beaten us whether or not we played before or after michigan. you exposed to the world a bunch of flaws to that oregon team that took much of the remainder of the year to fix/mask/improve upon. within the same month, i believe we lost by 45 to a horrible arizona state team, and got bent over by a .500 washington team coached by KEITH GILBERTSON. mike bellotti used to say 'never let a team beat you twice', but i think he let wazzu beat him 3 or 4 times that year.

KUGRDON Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Obviously I'm just having a bit of fun. That was my one trip to Autzen. I may go back, but I can say with some satisfaction that "I've done Autzen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage U Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 New to this board. But just read this story in my local "newspaper" and not sure I agree but I think Wilson is better than what he showed against WSU. Afraid Utes will be spanked by UCLA. http://www.standard.net/Extra-Point/2014/09/30/Kyle-Whittingham-needs-to-say-away-from-the-panic-button.html Jim Burton of the Standard Examiner is stud! Some of you older folk my remember when he won the Heisman 2 years in a row. He then went on to be an All Pro Quarterback for every team that won the Superbowl between 1975 and 1989. After retiring from being the greatest player ever, he moved on to the coaching world were he was coach of the year for...you guessed it. Every team that won the Superbowl from 1990 to 2010. He grew tired of being the idol of the sports world and hung up his crown. He's now a sports opinion hack for a podunk newspaper on the outskirts of nowhere. Ohh, as for the article, it's just as Burton puts it, an "overreaction" by someone trying to sell ad space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC MAN Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 glduck is absolutely right about UO having letdowns...they had one for one quarter against Wyoming after beating Michigan. The Buffs had to fight to beat Texas by three points on the road after beating Michigan with that Hail Mary pass back in 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
