I have been offline, is there any update on Worster?

Baseball or Basketball, getting mixed.

The weekend recaps, the replays of games in 60 minutes to watch other Pac games, the preseason and pregame in-depth interviews and stories were all very good and will now be a thing of the past. If you had it the P12N was awesome.

I really could not care less when the game with the Y is. My first thoughts were 5 on the road and 4 at home, the bye weeks, everyone has two this year and ours are spaced well, the games I am concerned with – Az, Ok State, and TCU – are one home, two on the road. As for Big 12 rival, I want to see who becomes the greatest challenge to us getting…[Read more]

I agree, QB has been our most difficult recruit. With NIL I think it will become quite difficult for teams that are not top 10 to keep a second QB that looks ready to play. It is the nut Whitt needs to crack. At UofA they were surprised that they had a second QB ready to go so soon. It is what you dream about but is hard to replicate. I am hoping…[Read more]

I agree. How many of the top teams last year could win 8 games without their starting QB? As an example, where would Washington finish with our injuries? Whitt could have had a better option for QB2, of course a mistake, however it is difficult to have all contingencies covered every year. My expectation allows for a great coach to get caught by a…[Read more]

Thanks for the detail on the why that we have been watching. But that leaves me to wonder about the why for the why. Why did that all happen? I suspect the changes in the lineup may play a part. Bajema started the season much better than currently. Madsen has clearly taken steps back. The shift from Worster to Smith has been good but is a big…[Read more]

Is this on your phone or can you get it to the TV?

For me a couple of points. Who starts doesn’t matter, who is in for crunch times and ends close games matter. Next matchups matter, each game does not at all need to be the same. Tighten rotation in the most competitive games. Loosen rotation in games with big leads because tight rotations lead to a grind by the end of the year. Players sometimes…[Read more]

Either way. I remember waiting for the shuttle to far away parking lots in the cold or hard to find tickets below the concourse. Even years parking deep in Ft Douglas or lines for the restrooms. After Majerus we moved up 20something rows and there is reasonable parking. The coach’s show would end before you could get out of the U. The big crowds…[Read more]

Inside the next 24.

You made me laugh talking about inches relative to another man. Myself, I would not confuse him as 6 foot 6.

I agree. A sixth man that changes the game the way Keba does is quite rare and he is more valuable there than as a starter. Of great value for Keba is to see how the game is getting called before he steps in. Let others play to define the preferences of the ref squad. I like how Smith was bringing him in very early which provides an opportunity…[Read more]

Oil has done a great deal for humanity.

I don’t expect an issue at all. Whitt has been clear that he wants to stick around the program in an admin capacity when he steps down from HC, and the U agreed. With Scalley to move up that is about as soft a change possible. Scalley’s’ issue, I believe was over dramatized and is now a nonissue. Ludwig may go with Whitt but he likely would be…[Read more]

Thanks. I am still hopping Bentley (has 3 yrs) will work in at TE. The ’23 year class has a some missionaries that will figure in, Clegg and Fonoimoana at the head of the list.

Recruiting is key to winning. Larry took a few years to get an NBA player in. Smith may also get that going, we can only hope. What I do like is seeing the team run plays and make adjustments maybe the best since Majerus. What concerns me is periods where they slip into a funk. Likely this is due to the lack of a top guard. This was also a…[Read more]

It is a thin line from here to bandwagon fan. One option is to simply wait until the Utes are clearly making a run beyond conference champion, jump in late in the season and enjoy the ride in the tournament. Maybe jump in earlier if the previous season assures future success. Another option would be to enjoy the entertainment level that is…[Read more]

I wonder which transfers will enroll for spring semester? Those that do obviously will be more prepared to fill in.

We should have played better, this was one we really needed. Stanford is one team you don’t want to be down a big man. Worster is not a star but is a more important glue piece than many realize. Two starters out down the line means two that may not have played play significant minutes. This match was too close to overcome that issue. Foul shots…[Read more]
