Maybe he’s a speed rush guy? I know what you mean, though. Last year when Oregon came to SLC their DE’s were 280+ and fast. I was jealous.

Williams’ X changed from Utah football affiliation to Colorado late this morning.

Normal portal stuff, but Deion’s a problem. How do we get the Dallas Cowboys to hire him away?

What is with us and always getting the small DE/EDGE players. 224 is incredibly light for a DE.

The NCAA really screwed this up (shocker). An athlete should sign with the NCAA to act as their manager and agent. They can facilitate NIL deals once a player has signed with a team. There will still be back channel tampering but that’s never going to stop.

I’m still in favor of a 16-team playoff but I don’t expect the first round to be all barn burners. they are the chance for upsets and Cinderellas but they will always tilt toward the big teams. I think what we see this year also has to be filtered through the chaos and uncertainty of portal and NIL. I think the playoffs will stabilize and the…[Read more]

It’s only proof that in those specific circumstances, one team scored more than the other. It’s a single data point and the outcome is no more predictive than if I flipped a quarter, it came up heads, and I proclaimed to the world that it was proof that every time a quarter was flipped heads would be the result.

Did the “better” teams win? Or…[Read more]

There is some talk that every available resource(NIL)is being thrown at football to make the program and university more attractive to the BIG10 when there is another round of expansion.

Football drives the college athletic world. It makes all the money it gets all the attention and it’s what will get Utah in too the P2

Meanwhile Basketball h…[Read more]

There’s the B1G, there’s the SEC and there is Notre Dame. Then you have the rest wishing on a star. Some will still make it into the big boy club but most will not. The days of yore are nearing the end for better or worse but the divide is clear to see. College sports brave new world.

ASU and Boise St. next week? I think not.

The score of a single game is the silliest argument for “deserve to be there” and that it still exists after ~ 30 years of BCS and CFP means that people still don’t understand the difference between Best Team and National/Tournament Champion.

Blowouts happen in every sport, in every competition and are 10 times more common than exciting…[Read more]

We had 0 literally. Now we have 3. That is improvement no matter how you cut it. It does not mean we will be getting trashed in Columbus next December however.

This version of playoff would be perfect for the old conferences. Put the old P12 and B12 back to gather and voila- perfect playoff.

The system is in chaos because the athletes were being treated illegally for decades and the courts finally recognized that.

Do you want to regulate how much endorsement money can be paid to LeBron in order to level the playing field for the Jazz? It is not going to happen. The salary cap helps but the Jazz are still at a financial disadvantage…[Read more]

Two more years after this season. Harlan gave him a six year deal when he left Utah State.

Them being on TNT and there being a few NFL games throughout the day will definitely hurt viewership. But that goes both ways and the NFL will definitely be a bit salty that CFB is eating into their viewership a bit.

Get used to it. With the money and the separation of the SEC/Big 10 from the rest of us…they are just better than us.

And the odds of a non-SEC/B1G team winning three games in a row…are pretty close to zero.

Kids don’t play anymore to compete or win or become a legend. They play to make money and go to the NFL. Having a kid wanting to go…[Read more]

Kind of shows 8 team playoff might have been enough. 1-8 now in next four games.

My point is to regulate the NIL from boosters and the fanbase getting screwed by student athletes who want to play wild wild west with the transfer portal. it is to prevent a player from collecting money from the NIL donors and then bolting to another school having not played a down in a game let alone attended the first spring or fall camps.…[Read more]
