Here is why we are ranked above Oklahoma and why we will continue to be if we beat Oregon. OK was rollin’ strong until the K-St loss. Struggled with TCU and ISU while we continued to pummel the hell out of people.

it’s a few days old but I think this is the most detail we’ll get.

Thompson?

You nailed it UtahFanSir. I think our program is pretty much going to be Wisconsin/Michigan St. type for all the reasons you mentioned. Wisc. & Mich.St have had some years identical to what we are experiencing and neither has found themselves rich in 4 stars as a result. I don’t think we will either.

And yes, Pace is harsh on the staff…[Read more]

The problem as I see it is trying to sync up our coached up recruits to the point we have no holes in the roster. I get Pace’s point, 4 star talent is practically ready to contribute the moment the join the program, Like JJ. Let take Blackmon and Burgess for example, I remember them quite well as frosh. They got a little special teams work but…[Read more]

Do you not remember the hell we went through building our roster to compete in a P5 conference? There is a HUGE discrepancy between P5 and G5 talent/rosters. (or BCS non BCS)

I’m one of the most red goggled Ute fans on the planet.

No way in hell would our 04 or 08 team go undefeated playing a BCS or P5 8-9 game schedule. No way!

No way in…[Read more]

Go look at Alabama’s schedule, then take a walk and gain some perspective.

Finally I can easily read jersey numbers. It’s about time.

MUSS interest is waning. In the past MUSS tickets used to sell out the day they became available. More often than not crashing the site due to the overload. Haven’t heard a story like that in years. Last year, MUSS sales dropped off to the point that a promo was offered that allowed only MUSS members to attend a closed to the public (and closed…[Read more]

Don’t know about Bam’s injury. On a scale of 1 to 10 of my concerns, Bam is about a 1. Bam is a project, as he showed us during the two series he played against Washington.

I think Hans is spot on with his review back in August.

I don’t get Coach Whitt’s excitement…[Read more]

Going back about two decades there has only been one team that has won a national championship with less than 45 blue chip players on the roster. I think it may have been Oklahoma in 2000.

Stars matter folks, they really do. There are examples of 45+ blue chip rosters that don’t do anything. UCLA historically is one of them. They have dropped…[Read more]

USC has about 45 blue chips on their roster, Worshington has 46. (I specifically remember UW having one more than SUSC) I’m doing this from memory based on a tweet I saw at the beginning of the year. The tweet listed the number of blue chips on all the Pac-12 rosters.

Eason IS an NFL QB … to a fault. Think Dan Marino, Peyton Manning. He is slow, very slow. He’s a sack waiting to happen IF we can get to him. We probably can. it’s just a question of how often.

As far as Petersen’s record, sounds impressive but he’s only beaten one team with a winning record after a bye. That was SC in 2015 at SC.…[Read more]

You may strike #1 off your list. November 2018 didn’t suck.

Thompson was a four star like Enis. Thompson, according to rivals was higher rated than Enis.

Please give me your take on four star TJ Green. He gone too?

Do you have a photo of TJ with a frown? Please let us know.

Goal line, 4th row.

SC is a 3 man team. Pittman, Agua St.Brown and Vaughns. Can’t shut all three down. I still think SC loses 2 more. Playground ball isn’t going to win out.

Bam will play four full games this year.

From Whitt’s mouth:

On how Bamidele Olaseni has progressed so far…
“He’s progressed very well and he’s very close to getting that playing time. We don’t want his four games to look like just eight or 10 snaps, so we are going to hold out as long as we think we need to before he’s ready to have a lion’s s…[Read more]

Imagine if we were to turn the ball over 4 times. Yeah, I’m scared too. Pssssst – Cal sucks against the run. #7 in conference stats. ASU is #2.

Plus, Cal’s offence is horrible. Plus Plus, Modster (who sucks badly) might be replaced by a true Frosh due to injury.

Saturday will be a party.

This year’s team is incredible. I am, and will…[Read more]
