  • I am hoping that the airlines are very intent on getting over the weather and COVID situation from Christmas weekend and get back to what they do. I also have a tight schedule on Friday getting to California and non refundable hotel reservations. We need to get people back to work as soon as their symptoms end if this variant does in fact have…[Read more]

    Isn’t this on any TV that is on?

  • Charlie replied to the topic Call to cancel rose bowl in the forum Football 3 years ago

    It is a culture of activists that want to eliminate everything that is not of their interest. Not yet but at some point we might quit listening to the vocal minority and get back to choice. Football will remain very popular.

  • Charlie replied to the topic I hate these shirts in the forum They So Poo Poo 3 years ago

    If I was a Y fan I think I would like the shirt, I like the retro stuff. However, Young did start the UofU, but he wanted to do it with tax dollars instead of church dollars so control soon became secular after Y move out of the territorial governor’s office. Young lost interest in what he did not 100% control hence the U became what it is. The…[Read more]

  • Charlie replied to the topic R.I.P. Tom Barberi in the forum Misc 3 years ago

    Not just one of the first tailgaters, he organized the first ever tailgating at Utah. The first years I think it was $10 a year. Tom was awesome to listen to on the radio. He made the most divisive topics funny leaving both sides smiling. The exception was the lady Ruzicka and her organization he called the Magpie Forum. That lady taught…[Read more]

  • Charlie replied to the topic Cornerback in the forum Football 3 years ago

    This seems most likely. I was thinking the nickel had evolved mote into a corner at Utah because they play so much man coverage. That would mean a safety would step into nickel which makes so much more sense than moving someone to CB. The safeties can play man but do not do so as much as the corners. We may see more zone than we are accustomed…[Read more]

  • Charlie replied to the topic In non-surprising news in the forum Football 3 years ago

    Question, as they declare, do they get their evaluation and have a future deadline to unwind and return? Still, I think it should be considered common place for athletes with degrees move on even to the business world. I believe I support any decision including the transfer portal.

  • The sighing day will likely stay in December because a number of HS and JV transfer athletes travel in early January to to start school for spring practice. They need to confirm their deal and have time to move.

    However, coaches can simply finish the year they start with a rule. You would think the NCAA and the P5 conferences would support the…[Read more]

  • I received tickets e-mail.

  • Coach Smith gets more out of less than any coach in memory. Also a good sign, players that stayed seem to have improved much more than previous years. Our defense is the best in recent memory. Smith’s strategy seems to be let the players have freedom to be themselves but hold them accountable for results, especially effort. We really don’t…[Read more]

  • Charlie replied to the topic Gator Bowl canceled due to Covid in the forum Football 3 years ago

    It is more than scary if the team is going home for Christmas. They should get the leadership committee together then the whole team and ask the question, how much do we want to risk getting this game taken away.

    I wonder how many TAMU players tested positive or how many have just been near someone that tested positive?

  • Imagine what you would have if no one complained. My question was more how many times do they need the answer from Whitt himself? Are there too many roses in the Utah story this year?

  • Odd occurrences in sports media reports are often looked at in context related to the local rival. I have lived in the Stanford/Cal, Az/ASU, Oklahoma/Oklahoma State footprints and I believe it is quite common to comment/tease/complain about a rival. But I can understand it can be annoying to folks with duel interests. Calling out media when it…[Read more]

  • Goodness, can the local media allow Whitt and all of us to enjoy the moment.  The Trib is fresh out of things to report so they let us know Whitt has not told his boss he has plans to retire.  The many times he has addressed the question is not enough.  Maybe there are those in the local media that just can’t let the U to enjoy sucess unless it…[Read more]

  • Charlie replied to the topic Rose Bowl and Omicron Variant in the forum Football 3 years ago

    Sadly in the M&A world, that includes lots of health care companies, businesses do strange things to look attractive to others like cut costs. Middle management and long term supervisors often get cut because it often takes time for the impact to show up. This expertise is greatly needed for irregular upsets and to train newer staff but fot the…[Read more]

  • Charlie replied to the topic Rose Bowl and Omicron Variant in the forum Football 3 years ago

    There is little definition to determine ‘dying with COVID’ or ‘dying because of COVID’. I believe it is up to each individual doctor to decide. Could both be lumped together into the second category? Sometime ago I saw a discussion between two doctors related to an individual that had no symptoms but had a heart attack and was rushed to the…[Read more]

  • Charlie replied to the topic I am so proud of Tyler Huntley in the forum Football 3 years ago

    Goodness, only in America such a wide variety of opinion.

  • Charlie replied to the topic I am so proud of Tyler Huntley in the forum Football 3 years ago

    Another possibility… the ravens like Huntley, match an offer by another team and keep him. I think this is very likely.

  • I think the 3 TE sets helped us more than many people realize. It reminded me of Air Force in a way because it was unusual and hard to replicate with a scout team to prepare. Air Force runs the option all the time while others prepare for it in a few days. Utah enjoyed the same with the 3 TE package. Most defensive guys say a TE that blocks…[Read more]

  • I am hoping Sewell and Kendal take the opportunity to return and be the featured LBer and TE. I think they progress much further in that roll then trying to make it in the NFL. If the LBer room is as strong as expected maybe we see a lot more 4,3 in obvious run downs or maybe rotation between pass and run downs. The defense may want to adjust…[Read more]
