Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
Our crimson uniforms are tradition with a capital T. The Utes can't match that. Anyone with any knowledge of college football can recognize our unis. Although Oklahoma and Arkansas are close in color only.

Re: the Ute site. Like I said before, bizzaro world over there. There seems to be a chip the size of Utah on many a shoulder!
Dittos. The more I see of other sites, Alabama based and otherwise, the more I appreciate TideFans. I'm no prude, but I get so sick of the bouncing avatars, barely clad females and cursing on other sites. Lot's of 14 yr old boy behavior.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
Utah isn't playing your tradition, it's playing your team.
Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
I think that you missed his point, which was not about the teams, but the uniforms. At least, that is what I took from the post. Our uniforms are very plain and traditional - just the way we like it... :biggrin2:
Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
The Sugar Bowl is the site of some of Bama's greatest games:
1962 - Bama defeated Arkansas to win Coach Bryant's first NC.
1967 - Bama destroyed Nebraska to finish as the only undefeated and untied team of 1966, but was robbed of their third consecutive NC.
1979 - The Goal Line Stand sealed another NC for Bama.
1980 - Arkansas fell 24-9 and Bama had a second consecutive NC.
1993 - The top defense in the nation keyed a 34-13 win over Miami and another NC.
Those games, the big plays, the great players and their superhuman efforts in those games will be drilled into our team in the days leading up to that game until they are ready to explode.
I wouldn't want to be the team waiting on the field when they come out of the lockerroom to start the game.
Actually, Utah will be playing against Bama's tradition in some fashion.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
The score is not indicative of the way the game was played. Oklahoma dominated the score board but the game was a few plays from being tied. TCU held their rushing attack pretty well.
RhYno's assessment of TCU (and presumably other western schools) is exactly why so many Ute fans have major chips on their shoulder.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
TCU has a great defense ranked above Alabama and has given up almost 800 fewer yards than Alabama. Ranked right behind Alabama in total defense is Tennessee with half the wins TCU has so go figure. I have been a fan of Gary Patterson since I figured out he was the one behind fRan's good teams at TCU. As an up and commer I think he is already there.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
It was at least 4 plays from TCU winning right? 4 80 yard touchdown passes. By that logic Clemson almost beat us.
Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
I would say the biggest win was either TCU or BYU, but that's just me. :conf2:
Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
It obviously had an effect in the Georgia Black-Out............. NOT!!!Why Earle you must have forgotten how much team colors have a effect on a game.....:wink:
Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
The Utes won't be able to stop our running game. And they don't have Tebow running their spread, nor do they have anything resembling the speed of Florida. This has the ingredients for a long night in Nawlins for them.
Well, that sucks for them, too. In case they haven't noticed, our team's not too shabby, either.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
Bama's running game is the key. If the Utes can get them in third and long often enough, Utah will have a good chance. If not, they won't. Utah's been able to do that to other running teams, but they haven't played a team of Alabama's caliber. That's why they play the game, eh?
Y'all have a great team, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that Utah will coach up its guys to not be intimidated. They weren't intimidated at the Big House and I don't think they will be at the Sugar Bowl.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
Utah fans have been fed this line repeatedly and often the "superior" team is walking away with wounded pride. I'm not saying that 'Bama better watch out cause we're going to win. I'm saying that Utah is not new to facing supposedly superior talent and supposedly superior schemes but still coming out on top.
There is a reason this Utah team is playing in a BCS game for the second time and we didn't need relaxed rules to do it. Top 6 both times.
Alabama is a great program and I am excited for this match up. I may be proven wrong but this team can compete with Alabama and is hungry to prove it.
However, Utah has faced several opponents in the past few years who say all the same things. "You have faced some good teams but they're not ..."

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
Welcome to TideFans and we appreciate hearing about your team from a good fan. A good friend of mine is from SLC and a Utah graduate, so I know a little bit about your program but not much. He was always a bigger basketball fan, so I've been led to believe that basketball is bigger at Utah. That may just be his bias coming through though. He was disappointed when Meyer left Utah, but since we both went to UF as well, he felt he could still cheer for him. I know Utah has had quite a bit of recent success. So I think you guys definitely deserve the BCS invite.
I can guarantee you that despite what some fans say, Coach Saban will take the Utah team seriously and he knows that we will need to prepare and play well to win. I hope our players take this game very seriously and do not have too much of a let-down after the SECC game. I'm a little surprised that some of our fans are so dismissive of Utah given our recent history. We've lost to the likes of Northern Illinois, La. Tech (twice), Central Florida, Louisiana-Monroe, Minnesota, etc. Utah is a far better opponent than many of those teams. Given our recent 0-2 record with UCLA, Alabama fans shouldn't be too dismissive of western teams either. I remember quite a few comments prior to the 2000 UCLA game that Alabama was tougher, California surfer boys couldn't handle us, etc. One team did get physically embarrassed that year, and it wasn't UCLA.
This is an intriguing match-up due to the lack of common opponents, the differing styles and the geographic distance. I'm looking forward to the game.

Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
I'm not dismissive but in all candor those concerns you cite are no longer valid. Saban and his staff addressed those areas and others in spectacular fashion. Bama will be ready to go regardless of who they are playing. Anybody expecting a let down better not be on the field because I have a feeling they might get hurt.
Re: UTE Fans are slightly confused
IMO, TCU was the better team, but they lost...
Honestly, I would be more concerned if we were playing TCU than Utah. I mean, I watched the Utah/TCU game and I am still not sure how Utah won. They beat Utah up and down the field. They missed 2 chip shot FGs late in the game. They threw a pick that set up a FG for Utah in the first half. TCU also got help on their final drive (in which they scored a TD to take the lead with less than 2 minutes to play).
IMO, TCU was the better team, but they lost...
