I have to ask you, have you seen the schedule? Where do you see those 4-5 wins coming from?

I mean, who really cares…with the 12 team playoff bowls are about as relevant as a horse drawn carriage.

I will say that, if this season deteriorates into a full-blown disaster, it will surely take a ton of luster off Scalley. I mean, who promotes the DC of a losing team to HC? And given the schedule, the number of players out, the number of players playing hurt, the number of players under-performing, this could be Whitt’s worst season in over a decade.

No matter the results, I think that Whitt has earned the right to go out whenever he wants to and however he wants to. That being said, I think that during these last two seasons, we’ve kind of crossed a Rubicon into mediocrity that probably won’t be fixed until a new regime gets installed. The way that the QB position, the most important…[Read more]

Nothing like a goal coming immediately from a faceoff to quiet down an away crowd.

That’s something that Drake Toll focused on in his podcast after Utah’s loss versus Arizona. All I know is that anytime I’ve seen a team (pro or college) have similar issues in the past, the strength and conditioning guy(s) is canned. It could be just a run of bad luck but so many injuries over such an extended period of time point to something…[Read more]

Good Intel! I hope it’s not a PSYOPS by Whitt.

😆…the Clubbers is what I call them…when you come to SLC, you better hit the Club hard. I’m actually a Florida Panthers fans but live hockey and have season tickets for the Clubbers. They’ve instantly become my second favorite team in the league.

With the great mix of talented youngsters (Guenther, Cooley, Doan, and Keller) and experienced pros (Crouse, Sergachev, Stenlund, and O’Brien) this has all of the looks of a playoff team. In fact, The Hockey Guy on YouTube tabbed Utah as a likely playoff team this season.

Their biggest magic trick is not recruiting Jeanty but keeping him in Boise this season.

Ok, I got you Jim…

Wow, so you’re saying that there are prospective donors with deep pockets who are sitting on the sidelines because Smith is the coach?

Why is it irrelevant? Because you say so? Wouldn’t it be more fair to say that Utah is 6-6 versus ASU since the two teams have been in the same conference?

The big tip-off or downer, take your pick, to me in that game was the way that Arizona continually blitzed Isaac time after time without Utah adjusting. You’d think that somehow Ludwig would adjust and make them pay but it never happened.

If we’re not, we need to.

Listen, a guy that is now 25 plus and in his seventh college season is still a Ute because: A. NIL money. Where else is he going to get $1M+ in salary? Not the NFL as a 3rd string rookie QB. B. The possibility to raise his stock and possibly (admittedly a longshot) make it to the NFL. and C. Grab some glory and leave Utah as the best QB…[Read more]

That whole attitude of naming someone “starting QB for life” is just so counterproductive… especially when you’re talking about someone that’s suffered so many injuries in his college career.

Start with a new head coach. I don’t dislike Smith as a person, but I just don’t think that he has what it takes to get Utah to being a consistent basketball power. In basketball, it starts and ends with recruiting. Unlike football, with just 2-3 outstanding recruits, you can turn around a program really quick. Just look at what Sprinkle did…[Read more]
