This is the first year since 2000 that I’ve missed a men’s bball conference tournament. Significant withdrawal. I love watching 4 games a day in the early rounds. The tourney being hosted in KC had a lot to do with it.

A bare cupboard post-Majerus and a bare cupboard today are very different. NIL money and transfer portal rules make a turnaround much more achievable in this environment. However, that doesn’t mean it’s easily done.

I’m not sure what right formula is for a good team, or, ever more important may be how much that costs. Is it 1 superstar player with good, but not great, pieces around him? Or do we need 2-3 top-tier players to really make a splash? What is the most sustainable, e.g. not having to buy a new team every year?

I’d love to see a well-coached, high-effort team with enough talent to be consistently in the top quartile. I’d gladly continue buying tickets for that. Plus, with the ever-increasing cost of football tickets, perhaps my money is better spent on the bball team.

The best part of the article for me is that we have had our top 5 OL identified for a while. The past few years it always seems like the rhetoric was “we have 10 guys that are in the mix” up to the first game. Give me 5 clear starters vs 10 maybes every time.

The true test will be facing a bunch of new DCs. There is definitely a learning curve, certainly not an insurmountable one.

Medlock just hit the portal

After 3 weeks with few notable games, polls are based more on conjecture than fact. There are always a handful of teams that start off highly ranked and end up unranked.
With that, Utah has as good of an argument as anyone to be in the top ten in week 3. I see the ranking as a confirmation that the Ute football program is gaining consistent nation respect.

I hope it’s true even though I had hoped for other outcomes. After all the drama, the TDS fans had a 48 hour taste of the exclusivity we’ve had for the past 10+ years.

Let’s win the last Rose Bowl and then take the Big12 by storm.

I’d love for the team to be for real. The Arizona win was great. The other three were against the 3 worst teams in the conference, and they are all legitimately bad teams. This week will tell a lot.

My observation is that we are still lack the athleticism to be a good team. Smith is over-reliant on his comfort player (worster). Even then, the middle of the PAC is an improvement over last year.

I support deleting this thread and the politics category altogether.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and can share it in various ways. Let’s not have Ute Hub be one of those. Please

agreed. I don’t think they’ll even show up.

dark mode for a noon kickoff doesn’t have the same impact as a black out night game

As I understand it, anti-trust is only an issue if consumers are affected. I don’t see it applying on any level to realignment.
