I don’t know why we have to minimize others aims so much. They had a great season last season and now have to rebuild after losing their coach. The point isn’t that they’ll be great now, it’s that they are changing their paradigm in an effort to become a basketball power. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t. The certainly they have more of a…[Read more]

It’s because of the new coach and their commitment to him. Also, most is probably driven by Ryan Smith.

I also suspect that the AD and leadership realize that BYU has a higher likelihood of success with basketball than football, so why not invest in it.

Good for them.

This site is soooo different from pre-death UF.N, it’s not even in the same ballpark. UFN became a cesspool of progressive politics and anti-mormonism before it’s demise, it was the worst site on the internet. This site is super civil and friendly and you do a great job minimizing trolling.

You do an awesome job Tony! Thanks for maintaining this site. It’s by far the best Utah fan site on the internet.

It really is incredible how Utah completely owned USC over these last few years. What a time to be a Ute fan.

Maybe you are right about UVA, but I’m confident UNC is in super high demand.

Yep, UVA and UNC are 100% gone when it falls apart. The B1G or SEC would love to have both.

It’s definitely harder than the MWC, but there is no Oregon, Washington, or USC. So I think the schedule is a little easier than the Pac-12. That said, we shouldn’t expect it to be a cake walk. I’m really worried about the Ok State game. That’s the most likely loss IMO.

Will be interesting to see if that loyalty pays off. Feels like Wilson will Habs the team next season. But I’d love Rose to get some real playing time if only to see if he can play.

The game in Stillwater is really the only game that I think we have a good chance of losing.

The other games where I think we could have a slip up are:
TCU – Good coach, a season out from the NCG. I think they’ll be much better than last season.
Arizona – They still have Fifita. This is the 2nd most likely loss behind Ok St
Iowa State – Campbell…[Read more]

Baby steps to football season…

I’m totally happy with Scalley taking the reigns, but wouldn’t complain if it were Meyer.

Meh, literally every coach has done this since the dawn of time. A silly think to still be bent about.

What qualifies him for the job? Has ever coached before.

I love Andre as much as the next guy, but coaching is different from.being a player. I’d rather find a quality, experienced coach.

This is especially true if/when the B1G gets into the South. If the B1G were to land UVA, UNC, FSU, and aTm (and I’d grab GA Tech due to being in Atlanta) they are essentially in every major market that the SEC is in. The B1G would likely dominate in national appeal. The SEC would be super short sighted to not go west if they can. Just getting…[Read more]

The SEC expanding west makes a ton of sense if there are indeed going to be two super leagues. Arizona State l, in particular, just seems like a perfect fit for the SEC in such a scenario.

My priorities are the secondary, o-line, and LB. I think we are generally fine all over the place, but these three positions I’d like the Utes to accrue more depth in.
