We started the summer feeling sorry for the Y and wondering just who will they play. Now we are envious of their chance to play football when only some teams will be doing so. It does make sense that Army and Navy keep going even with the future uncertain. The training at the service academies is to keep going not to look for reasons to call it…[Read more]

It will be interesting how Ludwig uses his new QB in combination with inside receivers. Covey and Dixon can stay inside, cross or cut outside. Combined with two very good TEs there can be real pressure on the inside where most teams do not excel at coverage. On top of that, all four can cross pre-snap, 3 can run sweeps very well. We can create…[Read more]

Interesting that the league decided to do away with the rivals games the last week. For Utah, they finish up with the southern division runner up, and then a rematch of the CCG. For Oregon, they finish up with Stanford the last placed team in the north then the rematch. Utah goes from easiest to most difficult, Oregon has a more balanced…[Read more]

I am not opposed to on-line. To have football, I assume students beyond athletes need to be on campus. Hopefully, we can manage our lives on campus or at work as well as we would out of school or out of work. I assume young people will date much the same in or out of school. The incremental difference college adds for infection, I hope, can…[Read more]

I agree there is a lot of concern. Can we assume students without college will not gather anywhere, get together or see each other? Will life without college have much less interaction? I would hope we don’t simply suffer about the same but without being productive.

Sadly, Europe will go back to school before we do. The underling reason…[Read more]

Why not try. Where do students go that has no covid risks? If we shutdown schools and colleges we will have quite a mess when covid reaches its end. That option is bad when you don’t even know the date for when we are dealing with only common flu. What about the thoughts of others that want to take manageable steps and continue with their…[Read more]

What if schools that wanted to continue athletics are just free to do so. Additionally, what if people were free to develop another sports league if they cared to do so. Then people could freely chose which one they care to support and watch. Oddly, that seems to be how we got to here. If you want to improve on something that is already…[Read more]

I like it, now another big man.

Sadly 2020 has had more unwanted news than we should be asked to absorb. Take care.

I would like to see a start in September possibly with an 11 game season. Likely we may need to play the 9 scheduled opponents but start the first week of September to create more flexibility to reschedule games that have issues. I think playing games for TV is quite doable but some will choose not to play and some may miss 2 weeks if tested…[Read more]

I support choices. If you are not comfortable going to school don’t. If you are not comfortable playing sports, working, going outside don’t. If you don’t go to school, play sports, work, etc., you probably can’t expect the benefits that come from the activity. It is the performance of the activity that provides those benefits. Should we…[Read more]

5 minimum in the division?

Just looking for the media guide, but I will bite. “What politician didn’t minimize this in the weeks after the China travel ban” for $500 Alex.

My question is when the toll from covid drops to the rate for the common flu 2 years ago (61K) which was noticed by pretty much no one, will we consider things back to normal, maybe somewhere before…[Read more]

Always possible it was staged for entertainment. The rope seems very firmly attached…

Even a good defense with no holes can have things go wrong. The bad punt and injury put us in a hole we did not make it out of. It slipped away because it just happened. I think if we played 10 times without Blackmon getting injured, Utah would win a good share of 10. Oregon was a very good team and things did not work out for us that day.…[Read more]
