I love the reference, this or the Team Down South. This all came from someone trying to assign this school our rival. It would seem that we are not allowed to pick our own rival.

Love it, but the next piece is the scholarship box or tier at the top of the east stands similar to what we had 25 years ago. That will also cause us to raise the lights to the height of the west side and get them out of the eyes of those of us on the west side (a small complaint).

I am not sure updates from practice are going to do much about the questions. With so many young players in the phase where improvements are the greatest, every new year will provide upgrades from names buried in the list. The good news is the coaches have a better idea where they are because they can be measured against a front seven that is as…[Read more]

I thought a Pac 12, B1G alliance was enough to counter the SEC. There is no question if you add the ACC this alliance is greater than the SEC. Need to also pull in ND. The alliance also keeps college football together as it relates to most the P5. I would next love to see a standard 9 game conference season with two alliance games scheduled by…[Read more]

I remember reading a study by the White Sox or the Cubs that found the trough urinals much more efficient considering space than the fixtures with spacing. Much quicker to get 500 guys through at halftime. So they kept them in a renovation. I don’t mine, but then I was in the army. I also remember taking my kids thru that format once, they…[Read more]

The defenses will determine these numbers. We develop as many options as possible. Then, game by game each defense will have cracks that Ludwig will go after. If the defense fails to respond there will be rinse and repeat and each game will have different number distribution. The next most important factor will be the score in the second half…[Read more]

Was not on their 2 deep depth chart but is likely still very good material and may just have 4 years left. Could pay off down the road.

Where I use to work… there were always incredible numbers of strangers from China at the firewall door. However, not a one had a reason to be there and we were sure none had good intentions. If there was one actual ute fan visiting or traveling to China and wanted to install the app, I would be very surprised. As of today, they just have not…[Read more]

It is true, the Y allows more freedom and less accountability in route running. Less necessity to block and support the run game. He will excel in the G5 and FCS games and would have had a hey day last year. Problems will surface when his QB faces a P5 rush and the P5 defenses will not also be contending with a good running attack.

Checketts, unlike so many local talking heads, is not so much a Y fan. My issue is wanting more Utah football / basketball time on the ‘drive’.

It is true if you are living in the 80s and your VCR is still blinking 12:00. If you pull forward 30 years you can note the change. But again, change is hard.

At some point they added the hill of dirt on the west side with crossing trails and lots of bushes. The area doubled as a urinal when the restrooms were packed. USU had the same thing going on their east side.

When you think in the context of just a game that can appear to be the story. However, if you remember, in those years Utah was wearing down and had great difficulty in November. It has taken us a long time to build Pac-12 depth in the 2s and 3s which if needed with little drop-off to win as the year runs down. I think a big part is pacing the…[Read more]

There is a locker room at the practice field for practice. There is a locker room at the stadium for game day or other stadium practices like the spring game. And of course, we would not build out new lockers for the visiting team and keep our team in vintage 80s lockers, or make our team run out to the practice field at halftime.

Ohio State is the only other school on both lists.

Do you realize the San Diego State game is not in San Diego? Go enjoy Tucson again.

Better yet, I will let you know 10 years out when things start to get close.

I don’t think any of this get sorted out until McKinney gets on the practice field. For now, we have a couple of safeties that create options and fall camp will determine the starters. Bishop has exceeded expectations for a freshman. McKinney never broke thru to start in maybe the strongest safety room in the Pac. Either could become a starter…[Read more]

It is not crap, it is unfamiliar. As web pages and apps evolve they often add complexity as quantity of content increases. Technology is always developing newer and better methods. When you see the larger changes to your favorite sites, stop and think about what was the designer’s intention. They all try to have a consistent approach to what…[Read more]

With one exception, any team in the top half of the MWC could have easily repeated what they did in 2020. The exception was they worked Boise State pretty good on the road. So I look at it as boy, they could have won the MWC last year. Other than Arizona while in a dumpster fire, could you have expected them to beat any of the Pac teams? They…[Read more]
