Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
I'm excited to see how Chapman, Kuzma and Poeltl develop as the season progresses.

The rain and Utah football hardly ever seem to go to very well together.

How about this? If Urban keeps that young guy as his QB, we put a call in about Braxton Miller.
Any dream will do.

The phrase I have hated all season - "any drive that doesn't end in a turnover is a good drive" - was true today. Without the fumble and the picks, this is a different game. That said, Arizona just kicked us around out there.
What an embarrassing performance.
The rain ended up hurting us much more than them. The fumbled snap on 3rd and 3 was as bad for momentum as the holding call that took away a brilliant TD return.
CU is a real concern for next week. A win gets us a 5-4 finish in the conference, which is better than we deserve.
Come on. We've earned our wins and taken some lumps. Of course, CU is a tough game. Every game is always tough.
Deserve doesn't have much to do with it, imo. The last two years we've had a lot of things go against us. This year we've had more go for us and here we are at 7-4. Everyone would've taken this result before the season. Everyone.
The holding is ultimately the killer for us. 21-17 and all the momentum and we probably pull out another ugly one. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
We'll beat the Buffs.

The attendance looked pathetic. The fans screaming for stadium expansion as if it were a no-brainer ought to consider that. I know some of them and they dumped their tickets this morning.

It may have looked pathetic, but it was the worst weather I have ever endured. The torrential hail in the second half was just brutal.
I am not blaming those who left early, just noting that so many decided not even to go. I don't think the ardent fan support is big enough yet to make adding 10,000 seats an urgent no-brainer.

The weather didn't seem to bother Arizona players much. hehe
I started getting nervous once I saw all of the national pundits picking Utah. That never seems to work out well for us. It's like our coaches don't know how to coach from a position of success. Their strength is coaching from an underdog position.
That's one thing Urban Meyer was great at. His teams seemed to get better once they were good.
A follow up on my own thought:
As bad as we were, and we were bad, I think we still have a shot to win if we just don’t turn it over. The Poole fumble cost us at least 7 points. The first Wilson pick cost us at least 3. Without those, we go into the locker room at 14-10 or maybe better. The fumbled snap (not a turnover officially, but just as good as one) cost us at least 3 points. The second Wilson pick cost us at least 7. At that point, the game was over, and Manning's pick made the score worse.
Throw penalties in there as well. In the third quarter Utah had a nice drive going and picked up a first down around the AZ 30 (easily in field goal range) but it came back due to holding; Utah ended up punting after Wilson took a sack. That's another 3 or possibly 7 points off the board. Then, of course, you also had the Clay punt return where the hold appeared inconsequential to the play.
Utah has succeeded this year by generally winning penalties and turnovers. Saturday was an uncharacteristic game in the way Utah lost those battles and also had the defense get trucked. (Offensively, the game wasn't that unique, unfortunately, aside from the turnovers and penalties).
I am trying to forget this game. I was unable to watch most of the first quarter and all of of the fourth (I heard that part on the radio), and although I recorded the game I won't watch it. I will probably delete it from my DVR.

But it did, and it has all year. A couple of big plays, a few turnovers - that's all that separates this game from our great wins this year.
Speaking of great wins, Stanford is still #1 on the "wins since the Sugar Bowl" power ranking, but UCLA has a chance to overtake it.

This is not the game you are looking for...
