CU at Utah pregame thread

Bummer for him - CU will let some 3rd string back come in and look like Marcus Dupree, gashing us for 200 yards and 4 Td's breaking some kinda record somewhere. That's what we do, let dudes break records.

Will either team have much to play for? I think Utah does not want to lose 3 in row and Whittingham will have them up for a better bowl game and a 10 win season still on the table.
I think this is a bad match up for CU. Utah is very physical up front and I expect them to try to grind CU down. Booker is out but Utah runs about 70% of the time so I do not expect them to go away from that. They do not have a very deep RB rotation.
I think the biggest issue will be the Utah defense. With a freshman QB getting his second start I expect Utah to bring a lot of pressure. With Utah having a good run defense and CU having the worst rushing offense in the league (ypa) means that winning the game would be on Apsay's passing ability...A very tough situation.

Utah ****ing sucks. CU wins!
Got a few questions for you.
A group of friends and I are traveling out to SLC for this game. So where do visitors park for tailgating? The parking website is not entirely clear. Also how early do lots open? Is it just 3 hours prior to kickoff as is posted online? How much does parking cost?
Any restaurant/beer recs? Have heard good things about "The Pie" near campus, and also "The Bayou" near downtown
and Wilson actually runs pretty well, we know how our Lb's handle running Qb's.
If you are staying in SLC park and take the Trax light rail to the stadium. Parking around the stadium sucks you will have to walk far. The Green Pig is a good bar downtown. Gracie's is a good bar downtown. A friend of mine owns Epic Brewing on State Street, great local brewer. Squatters brew pub and Redrock Brewing are also downtown. Everything downtown is within walking distance and Trax light rail will drop you in the middle of it and also take you up to the campus. Pretty easy to navigate SLC. For easy food options, 400 South (or 4th) is a main way up to the campus and passes right in front of the stadium... lower on 400 South you will have dozens of choices.

Parking downtown doesn't allow for tailgating. Thanks for the beer choices, will definitely check them out.
I will say this for them, Utah comes in a close second in terms of campus location.

Everything I've tried from Epic has been very, very good; but I haven't been to SLC in awhile so I've yet to visit their brewpub yet. Squatters has been around for a long time, but the beer is just OK. I like The Bayou on State Street; it's got a good vibe and tons of beers on tap.
Haha its not Boulder, but its also not Tucson either.
We will be out there with a group of 6. Go every year it's an away game.
Hit the BeerHive, really interesting beer bar downtown.
The lightrail really is the best way to get to the stadium.
Second the Beerhive recommendation. that was the only place I found worth a damn downtown last time I was there.
Be aware that you need to order your beers in bottles, though. In Utah, an establishment can only serve beer below 4.0% ABV on draught. Also, places can only serve beer with ABV higher than that on premise if they have a hard liquor license. I was especially disappointed to learn this as the first place we went was Uinta- they make some awesome beers, but it was all their lesser beers on tap and they didn't have a hard liquor license so were unable to sell us any of their really good beers (Hop Nosh, Dubhe) for consumption in the tap room.

Tucson is sandwiched between Saguaro NP, has the best Aviation museum west of Wright Patterson, and a light rail system that makes drinking really convenient. Plus Speedway Blvd has a pawn shop every block to fense stolen goods.

I am not sure if you are arguing my point or proving it?
I think it is both....

It's not bad looking to the South either. If you plan to tailgate just pull into the Guardsman lot across from the stadium one street East. Get there early. I don't remember what it costs to set up in there, I generally just walk over.I will say this for them, Utah comes in a close second in terms of campus location.
Thanks big z. The only tailgating I do is beer drinking over there before kickoff.
Thanks, fellas. Good luck tomorrow. @Devildog, you're kind of pain in the ass, but entertaining. Stick around. All that being said, I think we step on your necks tomorrow. I don't have a good reason for it, but I've had that feeling for weeks about Utah specifically.
