Nah, it's only annoying when you're incapable of drawing parallels, come up with nicknames, and write love stories about players.

Oh, so it's annoying due to your lack of skills in writing analogies and smut? Ok, got it. :popcorn:

Oh, you actually think you possess skills in writing that are superior to that of the general population?

Your imagination has reached its pique, I see. Please, continue to amuse.

Was privately advised that you're one of those VN jackals who likes to pick fights with certain targets.
Then when looking back saw that you started this by posting an insult, realized it's probably true. And you now seek to maintain an on-going string of insults. OK, now I really got it. Look, child, if you don't like what someone posts, put them on IGNORE instead of playing verbal pattycake with them. To me you're little more than a toy because you act like one. You know the wind-up cymbal playing monkey type.

Nobody told you to join my thread or read my post(s). Now go back under the rock you came from because your folks don't want you in the house. We can see why. And on that note, I leave further insults solely for you as I've grown tired of playing with you, toy. Though I fully expect you to follow me to other threads to continue your asinine search for picking fights. It's what your kind does.

Oh, no. I was told I was a "toy" by a hypocritical, unimaginative loon. Whatever will I do?

He also said I'd respond. Is he some kind of psychic, too?

Utah State fans are kind of loony... I've seen multiple fans of theirs not even regard UT as one of their "big games."

They kind of remind me of the Vanderbilt faithful (if there's even a such thing).

Until we can blow out teams like this the way we used to, we won't have the respect of being a big game for such teams. The USU fans can be forgiven for being as loony as we are. Because the past few years we've been a 90LBS weakling for our usual foes to the point even low tier teams were a struggle for us. So I wouldn't sneer at USU at this point or insult their fanbase. If I was in their shoes and based on recent history, I'd be confident too. OK, well. . . semi-confident. We have to prove in these dismal times we're to be feared and respected as we were in days of yore. Until then expect to be disrespected.Personally, I believe this is the season we make strides toward the road back to respectability.

Your regular season wins last year were against teams that went a combined 34-65. That's .343.

Yeah... kind of an interesting and convenient choice for him. He only wants to talk about 3 years. Because that's all he can talk about. He wants to talk about 3 years and not 2 or 1 because he finds it very convenient to his arguments.... though I am pretty sure his number is off.

UT's opponents were 27-34 last year I believe- not great at 44%. But if you drop the FCS school which almost always lose to FBS opponents... then it is 27-22. I personally don't think UT's schedule was a lot easier last year simply because they played an even worse FCS opponent.

He still evades the point though... UT is more talented and whatever happened over the last 3 years will have zero bearing on what happens in this year's game. UT doesn't have the same coach they had through most of that futility... and USU does not have the coach that raised them from being 1st on everyone's homecoming wish list to competing in the MWC.

UT lost players but replaced them with highly talented players. USU lost many of the players who helped bring them a unique 3 years of success in their long history of failure... there is little chance they replace them with better or even equal players.

I expect this to be similar to Cal 2006 or Cincy 2011. UT's skill players are too good for USU's back 7 to stop.

I believe like some that if we were coming off good years we might take them lightly. I believe though that with the seasons we have had that this team is mighty hungry and that they will come out like their hair's on fire. With the crowd behind them I think that our talent will take over and with a couple turnovers could be a rout.

The reason for the choice is because USU went 27-78 from 2002-2010. Basically, he wants to compare their most recent success to the worst teams we have ever put on a field.

Cal 2006 was revenge and they deserved it. Cincy's a decent comparison. I like NC state too. I think we have many more legititimate weapons on offense. Last year, cover North, where did we go?

UT beat Cal 35-18 in 2006 in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the score.

So Utah State fans not considering this a big game for their team is perfectly sane? I don't know if you've noticed, but the only OOC games we've lost since since 2010 have been to Oregon... You also have to compare our talent to theirs... Albeit young talent. Not sure of the number or what positions, but I'm pretty sure USU is losing just as many players as we are. I'd also like to point out that Mr. Keeton wasn't exactly himself after his injury, and I don't think he'll ever truly recover, to be perfectly honest. The Mountain West isn't exactly the SEC.... Yes, they've come close to knocking off superior opponents before, but then again so did Troy and WKU.

Yes they lost about 13 or 14 starters if not more including 4 OL and corners. Keeton shredded the acl and mcl in Oct. you never know how a dual qb will bounce back from that. Plus UT would be the first game back if he does play. Their best RB did the same and is also missing spring ball. We have some extremely talented young guys and I dont think they will be too scared of USU talent. No disrespect to them. You will see Daniel Gray lining up against north,Pearson, Malone, and croom. It won't even be fair.

Georgia Southern 26 Florida 20

I guess Florida is no longer respectable and a big game for us. They did, after all, lose to a lower division team.

Great logic.

That's what I was thinking. Gray attempting to cover any of our receivers is a mis-match. The kid has speed, but his skill just doesn't compare. That goes for USU's team as a whole.

How long is their rb going to be out?

He tore his acl only a week or two before Keeton tore his. You never know with a knee. You might get healthy but it's a huge mental hurdle to get back on the field and be same player that quickly. I read where they have been worried about their RBs. They moved a LB last week to RB and he's never played there. They have one kid listed as the starter who has pretty anemic stats for his career. So he hasn't gotten a ton of carries. The other back on the spring depth chart weighs about 165lbs. Yes gray is fast I just remember Troy torching him a couple yrs back. He's raw and had pretty bad technique. He's also only 170lbs.
