Best Ute news I’ve had in loooong while! thanks Tony, this is awesome!

Agreed, as far as the lds church is concerned they aren’t doing anything wrong. Ryan Smith is just making an interesting financial decision.

byu better hope college athletes become employees or the athletics programs split off from the actual school in some capacity soon. It’s not sustainable and higher church leaders will probably have problems with it, along with everyone who isn’t a dumb byu fan. I don’t have anything against this rules wise, it’s just dumb. Maybe if we’re lucky…[Read more]

I think we already confirmed OnlyU is Jen Shah

I wasn’t, he was pretty mediocre at Lehi this year.

This! This frustrated me so much, especially with so many backup lineman in for byu. Reid was constantly getting by with almost no resistance every time he came up the middle.

“I’m a fan of good teams”
So you’re a self proclaimed bandwagon? That’s worse than just admitting to being a byu fan.

I’m sorry but that was either a facemask or Brandon Rose is really good at keeping his head right next to the defenders hand. My bet is the former

Where is this information coming from?

There’s a reason Zach was never a captain.

Maybe it’s time we start the ultimate Quarterback experiment and give each QB on the roster one drive in the first half and then decide who’s the best for the second half.

I just hope we have a single digit number of punts.

Agreed, one of the hard things about recruiting running backs out of high school is it can be hard to tell when they’re genuinely strong runners or just more athletic than all the high school players around them. Transfers are usually proven since they’ve already played college ball.

Honestly, I’m starting to wonder if the Under Armour cleats have something to do with it. It seems like a lot of the avoidable injuries have been lower body/leg injuries that could easily be affected by the cleat, and Under Armour just has been going downhill for a while now. Obviously strength and conditioning should be looked at but I’m curious…[Read more]

Analytics said don’t invest so much time and effort into college athletics.

Vele’s from Southern Cal, but he did serve an LDS mission which I could see confusing people and making them think he’s from Utah.

Mcmillian wasn’t the problem, he wasn’t even the biggest problem in the passing game, the problem was giving up over 200 yards to their running backs. That game was beyond frustrating watching our normally stout run D just give up 15 yard gain over and over again.

Makes those last two touchdowns a little less frustrating🙂

I’m curious to know what policies around this type of thing will be made once players are officially employees of the universities. I have to imagine there would be a penalty from criminal charges just like most companies have, and with that coaches can’t just turn their backs to their best players off field issues.
