Now you’re talking…hopefully the stadium will be at least half full. I know that Utah will outnumber NW by around 10 to 1 if not more…

All the way from Philly?

The only positive to that is that we’ll probably never play against him.

I’ll be in Section 219 with a thousand of my closest Ute fan friends.

I did some research and we’re staying on the end of the strip close to the stadium. Definitely don’t plan to do any driving while there.

If he does come back, then I’ll be most pleasantly surprised. It just doesn’t compute given the exigencies of the world we live in. Last guy I saw do that, and really the only guy I can recall, was Herbert who turned down a sure 1st RD grade to return to Oregon for his senior season.

Has Isaac signed yet? Last I checked, he hadn’t. Georgia probably tried to get him because they lost Dylan Raiola to Nebraska.

Ellis: Already All American and returning.

Is that a fact? Just because we haven’t heard anything from him or his camp about declaring for the NFL doesn’t mean it won’t eventually happen. Sure, I’d love for him to come back but is it really realistic? I mean, he’s by far the highest ranked Ute in the projected 2024 NFL Draft and a…[Read more]

Yeah, I doubt it’ll be close to a sellout. Other than the game, for me the biggest treat is being able to check out the stadium.

Elliss was rated the No. 1 recruit in the state of Idaho out of Moscow Senior HS but his entire collegiate career has been with Utah.

What I meant is prying a guy from another program instead of developing him. The guy has some jets and was 1st Team All Big Sky…Utah wasn’t the only big school in the mix for him…

BREAKING: Dynamic transfer running back Anthony Woods commits to Utah

Beggars can’t be choosy…I’d rather have this guy, who’s already proven himself in college, than some untested HS recruit…but that’s just me…

Anthony Woods nearly took it ALL THE WAY for Idaho

I think that a lot of them are either working on their Masters or a second baccalaureate degree. Bernard graduated in the spring of 2022. Both Kuithe and Rising have been in college since 2018 and should have graduated in 2021..it goes on from there…

Jim, good points. At the end of the day, what really needs to happen is that the Supreme Court needs to step in and codify that athletes are employees of a school. That’ll go a long way towards ending all of the shenanigans because it’ll make scholarships and NIL contract based. That way, if an Alabama wants a Landon Barton, they’ll have to buy…[Read more]

Well, I’ve spent the last 15-20 minutes searching on the internet and I haven’t been able to find anything stating that the NCAA has made the rule permanent or even extended it to this bowl season. It’s possible that it could have been just a one off associated with Covid.

Actually, that was a one time exception that the NCAA issued for last year’s bowl season. Do you know if it has been renewed?

NCAA issues one-time waiver

I can definitely see your point. It makes sense. However, life has a way of going in unexpected directions. At Utah, JJ is the undisputed starter when healthy and is set to get the lion’s share of carries. We don’t know if that will be the same at OSU. For all we know, he might get beaten out or pick up an injury or not learn the…[Read more]

LOL… there’s a concept in life known as “is the juice worth the squeeze.”. Is JJ worth what it’s going to take to keep him or would you be better off using that money on other players? Professional teams in all sports have to deal with this situation all of the time. Sure you want to keep him but not to the detriment of the rest of the team.

The Wildcats are expected to be without top offensive lineman Jose Priebe, who entered the transfer portal, but will have most key players back for this one. Only three players departed, and none played crucial roles.

Northwestern pulled off road upsets over Wisconsin and Illinois, defeated Purdue in its final home game at Ryan Field, and arrives…[Read more]
