Utah has a Native American moniker and a zero tolerance policy on using anything other than the name. Anything with Native American imagery could/will get you kicked out.
Yeah don't go wearing a war bonnet or face paint.... They aren't going to apply that to Fighting Sioux sports paraphernalia or a Redskins sweat shirt. Basically, don't dress in a way that could be considered mocking of Native Americans.
With hats like this you are pretty safe with most stuff...

What's your opinion? Would Whittingham rotate them?
I think its Troy Taylor's call... who can learn his system better. Seniority, kind of goes out the window with a new OC and a new system.

This is a troll job by Whittingham. He never announces starting quarterbacks or injuries. All a ploy to keep the competition guessing.

Well we cleaned up, but we for sure left the rig there overnight. I'm guessing they don't want me to drive after those games.
Truth be told... it's not limited to "after those games"

Its been a long time since I lived in SLC, but I always hated Park City.
Do they still have the net under the ski lift above the highway?
Must have been forever... No ski lifts over any highways. Plus they have the original Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Plus a multitude of microbreweries and even High West Distillery & Saloon.
Probably, the only time I hate Park City is during Sundance Film Festival.

If you have an extra day to spare, head up to the Utah Olympic Park in Park City. You can do freestyle ski jumping into a pool, summer bobsled with speeds of up to 70-80 mph and forces of 4-5 Gs on the curves, take a ride on the alpine slide or the alpine coaster, or do a high speed zip line ride at up to 40 mph. They also have Extreme Inner Tubing down ski jumps.

Get a car. Take a drive up the Wasatch mountains. Its pretty amazing (especially for ND flatlanders).
If you are going to do some mountain driving I suggest going up Emigration Canyon to UT-65. Lots of switch backs and hair pin turns. Makes for an exciting drive. Especially in the fog. Also Ruth's Diner is a nice place to eat up Emigration Canyon.

If you get a chance to check out the Ute Walk before the game its a pretty fun pre-game tradition. Basically, its a chance for fans to get a brief interaction with the team 2.5 hours before game time. Not sure if UND has something like this, but its something that sprang to mind reading your Game Day Experience thread. Ute Walk then 2 hours more of tailgating before heading into the game.

We plan on hopping the light rail to the stadium from our downtown hotel. Our initial plans were to set up a tailgate but since we are unfamiliar with the area we are just going to pack a cheep cooler bag full of beers and walk around the Gaurdsman lot before the game. Plus, then we don't have to worry about the vehicle after the game.
Is it true that the light rail is free if you have a game ticket?
On Game Day yes.

Is Utah seeing any type of injury bug right now? UND sure has it full fledged at the moment, as well as the suspension and no show bug. I'm almost glad there are two weeks left, maybe UND will get some guys back and will have it out of their system by then. Ufda
Right now we are looking at having our star safety, starting center and backup RB out for the game. Fortunately we have lots of depth at RB for now. But yeah we always have an injury bug.

BOOM!! Just got my ticket and am going to the game!! Flying from Philadelphia on the 30th to Salt Lake City instead of back to AZ. I'll have to try and find some of you to party with as I'll be by myself lol. Not sure if I'm going to rent a car yet or just Uber it around. Tickets are in Section W8.
SLC has a pretty fair mass transit with the light rail you can pretty much get from the Airport to Downtown to the University and tons of places in between. If you haven't booked a room yet I suggest the Hotel Monaco. Part of the Kimpton chain so they give you a goldfish if you are lonely. Oh and mass transit is free on game day with your ticket.

So taking a quick look at the Utah fan forum it appears Utah fans aren't concerned about North Dakota even a little.
Of course we are concerned... A ton can happen in a game, including injuries which screw up your whole season. No game is a gimme. Which Utah forum are you looking at? Personally the one I frequent is BlockU.com at SBN.
Any Utah fan that isn't concerned is kidding themselves. Utah is infamous for losing games they shouldn't.

Thanks for the info RavenousUte! I am familiar with some of those bars if I need to go there to watch
I'll have to double check if I get the Pac 12 Network, switched to Direct TV recently.
DirecTV refuses to pay what everyone else does for the Pac-12 Network, so they have never carried it.

Thanks. Just learned of a work trip and would be flying back the night of the game, thought about going a day earlier and then possibly doing direct flight to Salt Lake City Wednesday night to catch the game.
It's probably already been posted, but will the game be available to watch online?? I still might do the work trip a day early (even if I don't go to the game) so I get home Wednesday night and can watch the game Thursday night online, opposed to flying Thursday night and missing the game.
Also should be available on Cox cable if that is your provider in Gilbert. Utah is also the only Pac 12 game that Thursday so might be able to get it at sports bar that has the Pac-12 network.
QuoteWell, The Heat Index has you covered. Below is a running list of sports bars throughout the Valley that offer the Pac-12 Network to its customers.

Just got my plane tickets to Salt Lake. Do they 5 percent or stronger beer their or will a guy have to resort to malt liquor?
You can also buy 5% to 10.5% bottles from the microbreweries if you want to avoid liquor stores or they are closed.

Also you'd be surprised but lots of Greeks in Utah:
Aristo's is walking distance from the Stadium. Great food, though you will need a reservation. Luckily, you can make those reservations onilne.
The Other Place used to be a well kept secret, but the word is out with instant media. Awesome omelettes ( I suggest the Gyro omelette) and other breakfasts.

Just some more information on our Craft beers:'
QuoteRed Rock Brewing
Red Rock Brewing Company started in 1994 in Salt Lake City, and has successfully made a name for itself in both the local and national craft beer scene. The brewery produces both draft beers, which by Utah law must be below 4% Alcohol By Volume, and bottled beers, which can exceed that ABV limit. But each brew is carefully crafted, offering unique, full-bodied flavor. Customers can buy the bottled beers at Utah State liquor stores, draft beers at a number of local bars and pubs, or visit one of Red Rock’s four restaurant locations for excellent food, alongside their perfectly crafted beverage.
Various locations, UT, USA
Uinta Brewing
A company giving a nod to local landscape and legend is Uinta Brewing Company. For over 20 years now, this brewing company has been making its way into Utah beer-lovers’ hearts. Named after the Uinta National Forest in north central Utah, all of the brand’s beers also bear names that are borrowed from the state’s wild, rugged terrain. One of their most popular is the Cutthroat Pale Ale, named after Utah’s state fish. The Yard Sale winter lager is a playful name for an epic skiing tumble. Uinta also is exemplary for its sustainable business practices, as it is the first 100 per cent wind-powered business in the state.
Uinta Brewing Co, 1722 Fremont Dr, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, +1 801-467-0909
Desert Edge Brewery
To enjoy the crafted microbrews from the next place on our list, you’ll have to visit their micropub, located in a charming historic trolley garage. Their beers are only served on tap, never bottled, and the food is award-winning. Desert Edge Brewery has been part of the Salt Lake Dining scene for over 30 years as a casual place to enjoy great, in-house crafted beers, and made-from-scratch food that is innovative and fresh. As another brewhouse to use a play on words and local culture for zippy branding, Desert Edge has popular drafts such as the Happy Valley Hefeweizen, and the Latter Day Stout.
Desert Edge Brewery, Trolley Square 273, Trolley Square, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, +1 801-521-8917
Bohemian Brewery
Bohemian Brewery creates European-style lagers. Using time-tested techniques, and the highest quality ingredients, the brewers make what they call the “Old School Brew.” The company has a wide selection of both draft beers and bottled beers, available at local bars and pubs, and at state liquor stores. All are made from traditional recipes, with attention to the art and time it takes to craft the perfect lager. The result is a line of beers that offers something for everyone, from a light, sweet, hefeweizen, to a caramel altbier, and dark and full-flavored bock. Pay a visit to their restaurant to enjoy a selection of classic European fare, perfectly paired with a fresh brew.
Bohemian Brewery & Grill, 94 7200 S, Midvale, UT, USA, +1 801-566-5474
Epic Brewing’s Imperial Stout © Peter Anderson
Epic Brewing Company
Epic Brewing Company has been around for a little over a decade. Aptly named, the brewery creates strong beers, bottled with an ABV that soars over the 4% limit of drafts. The creators of these high-octane brews are unapologetic foodies, adventurers, and beer-lovers that are taking microbrews to the next level. Epic has three different lines of beers: classic, elevated, and exponential. All of them pack a punch, and are carefully crafted for the perfect balance and flavor. For enthusiasts and connoisseurs, sampling a few brews from Epic is a must, but be careful, the expert brewing makes them easy to drink, but the high alcohol content can sneak up on you.
Epic Brewing Co, 825 State St, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, +1 801-906-0123
Squatters
In the last 25 years, Squatters has become an integral part of Salt Lake City’s downtown restaurant scene. The company is dedicated to what it calls its “Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet, Profit.” Engaging with local nonprofits, sustainable energy and transportation organizations, and movements to improve Utah’s industry, Squatters is a respected member of the community. At its core, the microbrewery makes honest, passion-filled good beers that have been garnering awards for decades. The Chasing Tail golden ale, the Full Suspension pale ale, and the Hop Rising double IPA are some of their most popular brews.Squatters Brewery, 1763 300 W, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, +1 801-466-8855

This is an exciting topic to follow. Utah is currently going for 4th straight Ray Guy award, so we have sayings like "Punters are people too". Hopefully, we won't have to punt much this year, but when we do its something we do well.

There are definitely many good options close to downtown and the university.
The Copper Onion - Is a favorite of mine.
Red Iguana - Best Mexican food in Utah. The original location is pretty small and can have long wait times, but don't worry, there is an RI2 very close by
Park Cafe - Very popular breakfast spot, probably will see football players in there the day after the game
Ruth's Diner - If you have a car and want to see some of the Utah mountain's, head up the canyon to Ruth's Diner. Breakfast is better than dinner, but can't go wrong
The Porcupine - This place is also a favorite of mine. A location opened on campus and would be a good place to walk down to after the game for a bite and beer
And if you want a slice, The Pie is the place to go. The original is also on campus and will take you back to your college days.
Depending on when you are coming into town, I'd go with something like this...
Wednesday afternoon take a drive up Emigration Canyon and have lunch outside at Ruth's Diner. Wednesday night head over to Red Iguana, try the mole and have margaritas.
Game day, start with breakfast at The Park Cafe and head to the State Liquor store (opens at 11) for real beer and liquor. Then head up to campus and explore the campus, ending up at the Pie for pizza and a pitcher of beer. Hit up the tailgating scene, enjoy the game and then down to Porcupine to let the traffic die down.
Friday morning, wake up late and take in brunch at the Copper Onion.
At least I would do that if I could spend 3 days doing nothing but football, eating and drinking in SLC
I'd also recommend you stop by Crown Burger before the game. Not a lot of food that Utah does better than other parts of the country. With in-house made pastrami. This is one of them:
Also, my favorite fries...

Thanks for the info, I just gave you a follow. I will happily share some full strength beer to the fans looking to have a good time. We are looking forward to the road trip from Colorado.
Forget the beer we have some craft brews here that are excellent like:
OUTER DARKNESS™ 10.5% ALCOHOL BY VOL.
Just bring the cannabis edibles.

You forget we have natural acoustics off the mountain side... kind of an amphitheater effect. Well, that and over twice the mouth breathers.
