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]

Quit acting like BYU is doing something unethical or out of the norm. They are operating the same way every school – who’s smart and embracing the current wild west of the College sports – do. And it’s most likely not BYU out tampering with our players, it’s likely the players’ agents going to BYU (and any other number of schools) and trying to…[Read more]

Honestly, considering that’s the game as it is today, I’d have no problem with Utah playing strong in the money throwing game for players. I don’t like it, but I’m fine with it conisdering the environment. There’s no reason to suck in the name of altruism.

The only way it changes is if the players can collectively bargain.

Here’s how I see it, I don’t know that sad is the word I’d use, I’d say maybe honored or something. He’s been fortunate to live a long life so far and have an amazing career. He became a cfb icon and let’s celebrate him for it. But it’s definitely past time that he hang ’em up.

Keep your chin up buddy. Don’t feel guilty about not renewing, though I understand feeling a little sad about it. It’s been a rough couple of years as a Ute fan, but I think we’ll be more often competing for conference championships than not.

Good points, I’ve thought about this a lot too. The reality is Washington and UCLA are pretty much destined to be what Michigan State and Iowa are at best in the Big-10. Oregon has the $$$ behind them and USC the reputation and history to compete every year with Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State. If we went to the Big-10, we’d have to learn to…[Read more]

I’ll add, good point about the “they think they are united”. The reality is, that zoob fans seem to not accept, is that ever single school in the conference would jump for the B1G or the SEC at a moments notice if an invite came. Even if it meant no conference revenue for the first 5 years or whatever. There’s a strange delusion out there that…[Read more]

I will admit, that while I’m not thrilled about the Big-12, particularly being in a conference with schools in the Central and Eastern time zone (though I love having TCU back), I’m glad we are still in conference with Colorado, ASU, UA, and even BYU. I love regional rivalry and Utah is more connected with California than it is Texas culturally…[Read more]

And I’ll note, A) I’d love it if we ended up in the Big-10. I’d love to play USC and Oregon regularly again, B) You never, know it could happen in 2030 or 2031 when the next round of media negotiations take place. I’m not saying it will, but crazier things have happened. But it’s definitely not happening now and certainly not before we know what…[Read more]

I would say that we’d be fine with just 3 QBs, but the way the last two seasons have gone, we really need like 6 or 7.

I have significantly decreased my college sports watching. I’ll watch the Utes religiously, but gone are my days of watching CFB most of a Saturday.

And I also refuse to watch an SEC or B1G game. It’s my own personal boycott.

I frequent said board too, I don’t comment much. While there are a lot of great Cougar fans, that place is kind of the epitome of everything people hate about the BYU fan base. Full of delusion. And not everything there is bad or delusional, but enough that it’s annoying.

See, I don’t understand thus criticism. This is the world we live in. If Utah landed him, it’d be the exact same thing, we bought him.

Acceptance is the answer.

That’s awesome, what are the chances we win it all this year?

Hooray!

I think this is the reality of college sports now. I mean the portal is open while games are still going on. With the % of players who will enter the portal (not all will leave), if you don’t let any of them play you aren’t going to be able to field a team.

Keep in mind, some of these guys may return to the U. In many respects it’s a negotiating…[Read more]
