One disappointing thing for a lot of fans is the lack of games against in-state schools. Most would rather see an in-state school with local talent than a team they’ve never heard of from the Midwest.

The Utes have been playing Utah State for 100 years, Weber State for the past 35 and played Southern Utah every year for a decade until 2006. But none of those teams are on the schedule this year, nor are any other Utah schools such as Utah Valley, Westminster or Dixie State.

Krystkowiak said the contracts with USU and Weber State were finished and flat-out says, “I didn’t want to play them.’’

It comes back to not scheduling games you don’t have a great chance of winning and the Ute coach says his program is at that place right now.


Man up Krystko, this is a Pac 12 school saying they dont want to play anyone stronger than them what a joke :rofl:


Weber never stopped playing Utah when the Wildcats were overmatched :thumbdown:

Well, at least he was man enough to admit it. Most teams in that situation just don't even bother to field the question. A prime example would be Ohio State before Jim Tressel.
