Block U, a Utah Utes community

Surprise move - but with how many were turning them down, I was wondering if Whittingham's name would soon show up on their list. Not going to happen, though.

Interesting turn of events. Could the Utes lose their second OC in as many seasons?

Yes...there was a press conference and everything!

It's always a gamble when choosing an FCS coach and a good portion of the time, it doesn't work out. The last time a Mountain West team hired a successful Montana coach, he failed (Joe Glenn & Montana) and we all remember Mick Dennehy at Utah State (also a successful coach at Montana). With that said, it is a hire with coaching experience and I think that is important. This is something lacking with Mike Sanford and it obviously came out he wasn't head coaching material. Now we'll see if Hauck is D1-A material.

I'm surprised. I thought they'd drop out. I'm not entirely sure we deserve this ranking after that performance.

Now that's some respect.

Kinda saw this coming. Oregon lost and then we had to absorb a win over a team who's currently 0-9 this season.

I like this. We thrive when the stakes are high. All attention is going to be on Saturday's game. I smell an upset brewing!

GO PENN STATE! This could mark the third time this season GameDay originates from a Mountain West stadium. Please. Please. Please.

Not bad. But let's be honest, folks, this top-25 sucks. Seriously. Arizona? BYU? Wisconsin? Cal? Virginia Tech? You know we're having a season of parody when those teams are cracking the top-25 this late in the season with some embarrassing losses.
