from your keyboard to God’s ears brother

question though – why would the SEC not try and get Notre Dame?

I have similar thoughts on the weaknesses. However, I seem to always give our defense the benefit of the doubt. So I feel like we should be fine there. Heard some things on a podcast from Shah talking about the two transfer portal corners and I feel like we’ll be good by the end of fall camp. I think Tao will be great, so I’m down to really worrying about strong safety.

On offense the combination of offensive line concerns and no true lead dog at RB is my biggest issue. We need someone to step up and fill that role (and quickly) at running back. The O-line has SUU, Baylor, and then @ Utah State. If we aren’t jelling by then, I think we could be looking at 0-1 in conference the following week.

you could be right. lower talent level makes it harder to settle in.

hey Utah – I feel exactly the same. Alienated from the team. Only cheering for the laundry at this point. Its all so so stupid.

Even for paying the players (which I’m in favor of in some fashion) this is about the dumbest way you could possibly do it.

Freeing up money for skiing, plays at Eccles Theater, other stuff. But I’m lurking on a Ute message board in January – so you know I’m interested – but I couldn’t name half our day 1 starters for the fall at this point. My fandom is waning.

Hey team – I have an undergraduate degree from the U (’05) and an MBA from Cal’s Haas School of Business (’10). The networking power is true. Cal is well represented on the West Coast, in pretty much all major east Asian cities (Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc), and the networking is great.

But if you think the actual classes are the same we’re all kidding ourselves. Utah has one nobel laureate. Cal has 22 laureates and I think 7 of them are still active. One of them – Olli Williamson – won a nobel prize in economics while I was at Cal. So its not the same. The knowledge generation coming out of Cal is massive. But Utah is certainly catching up. Our market growth and indicators are all way better – so Utah should continue to narrow the gap which I am happy about.

With that said, its a rare football player that’s taking the engineering and business courses. It happens, but in most cases they are doing other things. So Miami is right that to some extent it depends on the degree.

Go Utes

[EmersonUte]

I agree. Pretty amazing as a freshman to see them loosening the reins on Isaac with each coming game. In fact, I’m liking Wilson so much maybe I’d be willing to donate my kneecap to him since I hear he’s still looking for one…

Tony, maybe we should start a UteHub registry of people willing to see if they’re a kneecap match? I really don’t need mine that much.

[EmersonUte]

If the Lohner experiment works at all…. Shouldn’t we try to get Keba Keita back next year? Get basketball inspired TE’s?
Only half kidding…

[EmersonUte]

I predict the Utes realign the zoobs’ spines on November 9th. They should stay focused on that.
