Not being a devil’s advocate but I liked his comments about the future state of college football. As a Miami, Florida native (but Utah grad) I must say that, while I dislike BYU, they’re not really on my radar. I basically shun them until we have to play them. Utah and BYU no longer occupy the same physical space in the college football…[Read more]

Well, I’m not certain that Smith is going to be canned after this season. I’ve been on record many times on this site saying that the only way that happens is if the team craters. If the team has a mediocre season, say something like Smith’s second season at the helm, there’s no way that he gets canned because Utah would then have to eat the…[Read more]

That’s what I though too! Clickbait!

The guy he’s replacing, Tramel Barnes, left Utah to take a similar position in South Dakota State. Why would anyone leave a high profile program to go to the hinterlands?

I wholeheartedly agree with that analysis. College football is regional…it is not the NFL. Anyone that thinks that a large subsection of fans will watch Ohio State or Alabama when they have zero ties to either of those institutions, and those like them, doesn’t really know fandom.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee…

Without the fans and their interest, there are no players. None of these guys are getting millions in NIL deals because they’re great football players. They’re getting the money because large numbers of people pay large amounts of money to watch them play. You say the games belong to the players? Fine, let them play in front of empty stands…[Read more]

You ever hear the phrase “he who pays the piper calls the tune?”. The players are just entertainers and need to do things to appeal to their fan base not the other way around.

I would play this:

Live is Life

This:

Hello Utah

I’ll second that and also add that the PAC was a way more attractive conference to play in. In the old PAC you could make the case for the presence of two legitimate, and possibly a third, blue blood football powers without even considering Utah. And I’m not even going to touch upon the educational differences between the old PAC and the current Big XII.

This guy’s full given name is Maximum Moe…

Am I the only one that’s lost all interest in HS recruiting? Most of those guys never really pan out. Seems to me that, given the current landscape in college football, the transfer portal is where all the action is. This kid that’s on the subject line might never play a down for the Utes even if he does commit to the program.

Arizona…payback is a bitch…

You tell me: Mike Sharavjamts

Actually, I was referring to Callman’s comments which don’t line up with reality.

Just for the record, Sharamjavts is not Mongolian. He was born in Phoenix and has lived his entire life in the US. He does play for the Mongolian national basketball team because his parents were born in Mongolia.

Lol…does anyone do any research before they engage the keyboards? This guy is as American as anyone on this site seeing as he was born in Phoenix and has lived his entire life in the US. Based on that, I doubt that he has more than just the basics of the Mongolian Language down. He does have Mongolian nationality via his parents.

Consider my season tickets renewed.

I’m a Miami fan and I can tell you that I have little to no hope for Miami joining either the B1G or SEC. Miami is a small private school with an equivalent fan base. Other than the football fame garnered during the 80s-2000s glory years, they really bring nothing to the table. In addition, there’s nothing more that Florida and FSU would like…[Read more]

I always liked Bill Walton and his bombastic style. He definitely wasn’t for everyone but definitely was for me. I always hoped to run into him at one of the Ute games but it never happened. Fly high Bill, I’ll check in with you on the other side.
