I think that there is a common misperception that the Jazz have more money to spend because Smith is a billionaire. They don’t. They still have the same salary limitations they’ve always have had. He can’t pay Jazz players more than the cap and he certainly doesn’t take it out of his own pocket. His families donations to BYU have no impact on the…[Read more]

Agree and disagree. Injury is always a huge factor, especially to starters. But ESPECIALLY for QB1 with Ludwig. QB2 was never prepared. There will always be a dropoff and QB2 getting up to speed, but with Ludwig’s ‘complicated’ system (Rose still hadn’t picked it up in 2 years?!), they had to go so vanilla, it was easy to defend. So, yes, it…[Read more]

I don’t really watch college sports beyond Utah. So most of the time it is me seeing highlights in social media or something.
I think that is the normal for most fans. I will watch games while waiting for Utah to come on and then maybe watch highlights to discuss things with my family or friends.
It certainly is what it is. I don’t see it get…[Read more]

Not sure I get the indifference reaction. You want the best players on your team to stay on your team. To each their own I guess. Does anyone really think he was only going to bring 10 catches and a hundred yards to the table this season? Everyone isn’t productive until they are. He was clearly talented and just needs an opportunity to showcase t…[Read more]

And honestly, the only power we fans gave is to stop watching and engaging. I, for one, refuse to watch a Big-10 or SEC game. They are destroying sport, so I won’t watch them. Unfortunately, too many big12 or acc or other conference fans will watch.

I won’t blame any of you one bit if you abandoned college sports. You make excellent points…[Read more]

I’ll just say this: college football has the right to go in whatever direction they want to. College football players have the right to chase NIL $$. The courts have the right to strike down any attempt to regulate the transfer portal or NIL earnings. ESPN has the right to control the playoff structure and conference makeup.

I, as a long…[Read more]

Absolutely every husky all at once?

Who were we passing to?

Screw it. I am close to just giving up on college sports. It is so messed up. I hate what has happened with the NIL and portal. I need to separate myself from this mess. I was a Ute fan during the 1-10 seasons of the 1970s and enjoyed it. But, this crap is out of hand.

I have never been a casual Ute fan, but this may be what I will be…[Read more]

It’s a loss. Watching the UCF game, the one game ZW started in 2024 and largely what his stats were based on, you saw the talent.

You can argue we don’t use WR. You can argue we struggle to field QBs who throw vertically. You can argue Whitt speak and practice don’t mean much of anything. But you can’t argue the talent that you saw and losing…[Read more]

Good point RU. If Utah’s #1 WR going into next season compiles a whopping 10 catches for 101 yards in two games last season, 70% of the production against an unmotivated 4-8 UCF team. WR recruiting and utilization is an inherent program problem that has not changed and never will under KW’s leadership. This is really nothing new.

The NCAA had every opportunity to fix things before all of this happened. Case after case after case in court slowly leading to this mess, and they did NOTHING. If the NCAA hadn’t been so damn greedy we wouldn’t be in this position.

Quick clarification, Mosley is a class of 2026 recruit from Pittsburg, CA not a transfer from Pitt that can immediatley fill void of WRs that just hit the portal.

Some very detailed analogies. I’m not going to take college athletics quite so seriously to have the take that people are going to hell for the (rumored) possibility that another program may be interested in some Utah players. I would bet there are a lot of schools that are interested in some of Utahs players and the players themselves would be f…[Read more]

Don’t be silly. Everyone wants to have an effective passing attack, and when we had such a passing attack we won the P12 sending to the Rose Bowl- twice. Or perhaps you forgot about that.

As I remember, those teams caught forward passes. But don’t let anything get in your way of a false narrative.

If we give Harlan credit for the recruit that signed earlier this week, do we give him credit for those leaving today? Asking for a friend….

Is that true about Oregon State?! Crazy.

And yeah, Utah is in some trouble if NIL doesn’t get regulated soon. BYU seems to have a the benefactors they need, but I don’t know that Utah does. Regardless, I’m trying to just be chill with it and enjoy Utah football. I’ll love my Utes, watch them, and cheer for them regardless of whether they are…[Read more]

I think we will be better if the culture is better. Last year was just off in the locker room and it translated to mayhem everywhere else. I am more optimistic than most because I think some of the locker room cancer issues might have been resolved.

Utah has to figure out how to grease up their donors like BYU is doing because it seems we have plenty of successful alumni but they don’t seem too interested in wanting to help fund NIL deals?

That’s just it. I’m not saying Utah will suck. I am saying that people probably should expect 6-6 or 7-5. Anything better will be gravy – but there’s also a chance things go south like last year and they do eventually suck.

My guess? Utah beats Cal Poly (1), Wyoming (2), Texas Tech (3), Colorado (4), Cincinnati (5) and either split the Kansas…[Read more]
