Ok. Warning. This is not a feel good, rah rah, hope and joy post. Just plain old reality.

I’d like to feel the Kumbaya of the poster. I really would! But….gotta say, just not feeling’ it. Sorry. …..Whitt’s greatest talent is spewing hog wash. And I’m not buying any more of it.

He had a couple of good, lucky years. Good for him. And…[Read more]

Whitt is a control freak! The mantra, we don’t adapt to you, you adapt to us mentality no longer applies when you’re not transparent with your players and the fanbase. It’s primarily because of Whitt that the program is in disarray.

If they lose the rest of the games, he will be the one to blame for all of it for his lack of leadership and…[Read more]

I am not convinced that Scalley is going to be a home run. I think he will, but will need time to bake. If you are Harlan though, I think you have to stay with Scalley as the next coach no matter what. I love Utah and I am proud to be from Utah, but we have to be real- Utah is not going to be a landing spot for an elite coach. A stepping stone…[Read more]

Why do so many feel the need to throw some form of this qualifier, he will be great in the future I’m sure, in with any criticism of Wilson?

He could end up great, he could end up a bust. He’s got 3 more years of college to become whatever he will be. But I’m struggling to understand why we all have to pretend that a below average QB, so far, i…[Read more]

I love how many dudes here can read Whitt’s mind

Saw that and thought the same, I hope other teams are paying attention and this becomes the norm going forward.

Hard to say. Depends on whether the team shows up. If not, all the beer I have will be poured in my mouth only.

Utes 69 is going to absolutely LOVE this! 🤣

You’re conflating things. The Utah Legislature is not the NCAA.

The NCAA has the power, or at least had the power, to enforce any of its rules against member schools of which USC was one. The California Legislature didn’t revoke any football titles from SC for breaking NCAA rules.

Unless there has been an audit that I am unaware of, not…[Read more]

As a chaos gremlin, I would love this

Dybantsa takes $6M (mostly from Smith) to come play for BYU. He’s everything he’s reported to be, a Wooden finalist, the obvious #1 pick, and he leads BYU to a #8 finish.

But then, #3 seed BYU is somehow upset by #14 Duquesne in the first round of the NCAA tournament. And shockingly, Kevin Young convinced…[Read more]

Understand and agree, but private schools should still be audited as there should be no exceptions to the rules when it comes to auditing and checks and balances both private and public institutions as all are not immune to corruption or nefarious activity. Let’s see, USC a private school ring a bell and had their 2004 or 05 national championship stripped.

Nothing is more terrifying (and I mean that no one is terrified of it) than our offense currently . I’m excited for Morgan. These last two years have been absolutely brutal. Some of the most unenjoyable football I’ve ever seen. I love Scalley’s passion and energy.

I’ll just post something similar to what I did in the other thread discussing it. Let me preface this by saying I’m not LDS.

I think BYU is playing by the rules that have been laid out by the NCAA. You have no arguments from me there. I wish we had a Ryan Smith bankrolling a lot of these big dollar moves, or a Phil Knight.

The issue…[Read more]

So true Anfernee.

And then maybe the accuser of said beer pouring on his family will call us and the entire university classless. And then be arrested on shoplifting and cocaine possession a few years later.

regardless of their “private” school status, should BYU get audited the way Utah was to hold BYU accountable for how they’re using their NIL program?

No, they shouldn’t. It smacked of conflict of interest when the audit was done but a state supported school has different rules than a private school does.

That’s a no brainer. Polygamy Porter. One is not enough.

Spot on. Yes, I can’t help but believe that BYU’s NIL really is pay to play, and that people (not just Utes fans) will resent this and it creates negativity surrounding it.

Yes, BYU the institution isn’t paying NIL – the donors are. But people who will resent this and see it as a negative really don’t care. To them, it doesn’t matter, given that…[Read more]
