Some people you just can’t reach and won’t listen to professional advice. If you’re not drafted between the 1st-4th round, you’re not getting much more than you could possibly get from NIL and you’re at a greater risk of being cut because the team hasn’t invested a ton in you. It’s a free country and good luck to Bills as he lives out his dream.

That’s the way life goes. Imagine if Burrow had stayed at Ohio State as a back-up to Justin Fields?

If he doesn’t go, I’ll be extremely pleasantly shocked. He’s the highest ranked Ute, by far, on the draft boards I’ve seen and a borderline late 1st RD pick. Of off all the guys that have declared for the draft, he’s the one that really stands to make a large amount of money.

So, back to the MWC days of mostly 2-3 star recruits? Can you imagine where a guy like Alex Smith would end up after one stellar season at Utah?

In case anyone was wondering, Thompson had offers from LA Tech, Incarnate Word, Austin Peay, Texas State AND Utah. That’s it. As you say, not a hard choice to make.

Wow, it didn’t take Wahlin long after the return from his mission.

How about “Kool-Aid McKinstry”? That the one making the rounds now.

That’s strange…

Yeah…why couldn’t their main campus be in Rexburg, Idaho so we could have a normal in-state rival like Utah State.

Upper bowl was overwhelmingly BYU fans. My tickets are on the 27th row of the lower bowl and as I looked around, all I saw was blue. Plus they were damned loud.

Erickson, Madden, and Worster, though technically all seniors, have one more year available after this season should they decide to take it. They were all freshmen during the 20-21 campaign which has effectively been wiped off the eligibility books due to Covid-19.

You at the game Jim?

I can already see that a lot of the season ticket holders sold out. There’s significant amount of blue in the lower bowl.

Crowd wise, I think it’s going to get ugly… I’m at the Huntsman and there’s a ton of blue walking around.

If the contract has a buy out clause that’s executed, then no one can really complain. You see numerous “non-compete” contracts in the business world that stop people from moving from one job to another in the same line of work within a specified period of time. It’s all about having a contract. Yeah, coaches leave all of the time but they’re…[Read more]

Is this what we want? What I want is a return to the old days of no portal, limited transfers, and the expectation that you would have a player for four years and then he would go to the NFL as a 22 year old. Sure, the way the system is shaping up is good for SOME players but it surely isn’t good for the fans.

And without fans, there’s no…[Read more]

Need to add Sataoa Laumea.

Bishop’s stock is getting lower as more unexpected guys enter the draft, like Vaki. If he goes in the 4th round, it’ll be great for him but likely seen as a reach for whichever team drafts him.

If there’s one player that should go, based on draft rating, it’s Elliss. He’s a top 40 pick.
