Has anyone ever had success adding on to existing football seats? If so, what was the cost?

by Section10Row51Ute 2013-05-13 10:52:40

Was told by the ticket office that a one time $1500 crimson club donation is required to add additional seats in my area. This doesn't include the ticket price.

Just curious if what they are telling others is consistent with what they are telling me or is it just something they pull out of their ass. TIA.

The only player from the State of Utah to win Rookie of the year? Damian Lillard.

by Section10Row51Ute 2013-05-01 22:14:59

4th player ever to be a unanimous selection.

During his rookie year he broke Stephen Curry’s NBA rookie record for three-pointers in a season, knocking down 185 three-pointers on the year, which is also a new Trail Blazers franchise record for most three-pointers in a season. It was also the fifth most threes in the league this season. He was named the Kia Western Conference Rookie of the Month in each month during the season, becoming the eighth player to sweep the monthly awards.

He joined Oscar Robertson and Allen Iverson as the only rookies in NBA history to record 1,500 points and 500 assists in a season. He scored 30 or more points five times during the year, including a career-high 38 against the Los Angeles Lakers in April.

Sean Smith may not be a Dolphin for long:

by Section10Row51Ute 2013-02-23 14:10:22

A source close to free agent cornerback Sean Smith laughed when asked if Smith and the Dolphins have had productive contract talks at the Combine. Smith is seeking a contract worth at least $24 million guaranteed over three years, and the Dolphins don’t value him that highly. The Dolphins might use the franchise tag to keep him around, but defensive tackle Randy Starks seems like the likelier option.
Don’t rule out the transition tag, either, which gives the Dolphins the right to match any other free agent offer Smith receives.

Good analysis of the Alex Smith situation

by Section10Row51Ute 2013-02-19 11:50:10

The only items that are important:
1. The 49ers want to trade Smith.
2. Smith would rather be released and become a free agent.

5 Myths regarding the situation:

1. The 49ers are eager to have both Colin Kaepernick and Smith on the roster in 2013.
2. There's a weak trade market for Smith.
3. Smith was a free agent last season and there was no market for him.
4. The 49ers owe it to Smith to release him.
5. Teams will be reluctant to trade for Smith because his salary is prohibitive.

Good poll question and somewhat unexpected answers. I expected more votes on the pessimistic side due to the bad season and how fans usually overreact. Good to see that the majority on here are reasonable.

Some good news: former Ute Mike McCoy is a hot commodity and is expected to land a Head Coaching job this week.

by Section10Row51Ute 2013-01-13 09:33:50

Appearing on GameDay Morning, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said he's hearing the Cardinals are expected to go after Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy for their head-coaching vacancy.
When asked which of the head coach jobs would be filled next, Rapoport said he believes it will be the Cardinals. He also said if Arizona can't land McCoy, whose Broncos were just eliminated from the playoffs on Saturday, then incumbent defensive coordinator Ray Horton could be the backup plan. McCoy is expected to be a hot commodity on the market this upcoming week.

Who here believes in bigfoot?

by Section10Row51Ute 2012-11-24 14:42:40

A team of scientists can verify that their 5-year long DNA study, currently under peer-review, confirms the existence of a novel hominin hybrid species, commonly called “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch,” living in North America. Researchers’ extensive DNA sequencing suggests that the legendary Sasquatch is a human relative that arose approximately 15,000 years ago as a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with an unknown primate species.

“Our study has sequenced 20 whole mitochondrial genomes and utilized next generation sequencing to obtain 3 whole nuclear genomes from purported Sasquatch samples. The genome sequencing shows that Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens, but Sasquatch nuDNA is a novel, unknown hominin related to Homo sapiens and other primate species. Our data indicate that the North American Sasquatch is a hybrid species, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens.

exact same way. They seemed to act very similar to many zoobs-whiny about everything that doesn't go their way, arrogant, and very into themselves.

We stayed at the Jets team hotel and found their fans to be much more tolerable than the Huskies and their silly little barking chant. I'd take any other fanbase in the PAC-12 over these guys, hands-down.

My Eric Weddle man crush has been surpassed by Alex “as tough as a $2 steak” Smith.

by Section10Row51Ute 2012-09-19 11:57:26

I'm calling it right now: Alex Smith will be a contender for MVP this year.

“Alex Smith has grown into a man,” Simms said this week on “NFL Monday QB” on CBS Sports Network. “Of course he’s being taught well, but he’s just gotten physically stronger. When you look at his first three or four years, I didn’t think he was strong enough to be an every-week starting quarterback. He is now.”

Simms’ observation echoes what Jim Harbaugh said in May when he noted Smith had physically gone from a “skinny 20-year-old” to a quarterback who’s “really a man now, a real strong man.”

“He has won me over,” former NFL quarterback Steve Beuerlein said on CBS. “I’m a believer. He’s gone 216 passes in a row without an interception. That’s a huge stat right there. He showed toughness and then clutch throws down the stretch during that game-sealing drive. I thought it was an awesome performance by him (Sunday) night.”

Pouha Donates $50K to U

by Section10Row51Ute 2012-05-25 09:56:20

Former Ute and current New York Jets defensive lineman Sione Pouha and his wife Keite have contributed $50,000 to Utah's Invest in Excellence campaign for the new Utah football complex. The alumni locker room of the center, which is scheduled to open for the 2013 season, will bear Pouha's name.

Pouha (pronounced bo-oo-ha) becomes the third former Utah football player in recent weeks to make a large gift to the football center's fund. Eric Weddle and his wife Chanel announced a $250,000 donation on April 21 during the Invest in Excellence kickoff celebration and Brian Johnson and fiancé Ashley Chapman donated $50,000 earlier this month.
