We have the better QB. We have the better OL. We have the better TE. Even though OSU has the better RB, last year our rushing game was more effective and rushed for more yards per game at almost the same ypc. So, you could argue we have the better rushing attack. WR’s…I’ll give it to OSU…maybe. We have Singer and Pittman and others. We are…[Read more]

My thoughts: If OSU’s RB takes a step back with all his legal stuff or if he misses conference games, I could see OSU dropping hard. Their QB isn’t good enough to carry them.

And 11-16 (Colorado through ASU)…those teams are all toss ups. Injuries here or there and all of those teams could win 6-7 or 1 game.

Same with UCF. I see them as the…[Read more]

Doesn’t Nebraska have like 125+ players now? They are going the BYU “pay the walk-ons enough to equal a scholarship” NIL deal. You can only play 11 at a time. There will be a huge exodus next when players find out they won’t be playing.

It’s wild right now.

And yet, they didn’t show up until the second half. BYU was up 24-6 at halftime and lost.

Utah fans defending BYU is the weirdest thing to me. Oklahoma St came out at halftime and went on a 21-3 second half to force overtime and then win. BYU shouldn’t be proud of that and that is proof how bad BYU was last year, not how good they were.

Now look at Utah, 2023 vs 2024:

OOC:

Florida vs Baylor. Baylor is way easier.
@Baylor vs @Utah State. No disrespect to USU…ok, disrespect to USU, but Baylor is a G5 team and as bad as they are, that road game is tougher.
Weber St vs Southern Utah – Wash. Both easy.

Conference Games:
@ #2 UW vs 11 Arizona
#8 Oregon vs #17 Oklahoma State
@…[Read more]

And BYU looking OK vs Oklahoma and Oklahoma State was a lot more of BYU, one win away from a bowl game, fighting for their lives vs two Oklahoma teams who already had their postseason fates determined and were 100% looking past BYU.

As well as BYU played…they still lost vs two teams who weren’t putting for their best effort to beat BYU.

BYU’s record last year is a bit of…exaggeration. Their schedule was so easy.

Look at their non-conference schedule, 2023 vs 2024:

Sam Houston Bearcats vs Southern Illinois Salukis. As bad as Southern Ill is, Sam Houston is worse.
Southern Utah vs Wyoming. Again FCS vs G5. Wyoming is better.
Arkansas vs SMU…You could argue that Arkansas…[Read more]

Huh? This is such a weird response. It makes no sense.

Where did I say anything about the well being of anyone on this site? And yes, sports are entertainment, but as the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB have all learned, heavily regulated capitalism is best. Spread the money around. Create limits to how much you can earn. Limit how much a team can spend.…[Read more]

Yup. And college football goes the way of basketball. No one cares until they can gamble on the playoffs.

That’s capitalism for you baby. Don’t worry about tomorrow. Gut everything today, for as much as you can. Tomorrow? Well, if it’s ruined, we will just move onto the next thing to gut.

Honestly…I wouldn’t hate it if the P2 broke off and the rest of the teams formed their own playoff and Utah was in the rest of the teams group.

It would be college football again, and I miss that.

Devin Lloyd, on the other hand, that is a Whitt special. Moved positions, changed his body, became a second round pick.

I’m going to be pedantic here.

Weddle would never happen today. Everyone admits to that. Weddle was a kid Whitt and his coaching staff found, got him to commit, told him if he visited anywhere else he’d lose his scholarship and basically hid from other coaches.

That would never happen today. Everyone knows that Weddle was a high 4…[Read more]

That’s what is so great about BYU fans. They can create these scenarios where no matter what, they are right.

If we talk about winning the Big 12, we are delusional because we don’t know southern football and BYU went undefeated vs the worst P12 teams a few years ago and we have not real shot at winning it because we lost to Penn St and Ohio St…[Read more]

I like this. Big 12 teams all riled up over Utah. That’s cool. You do you. We will see you on the field in the fall.

Remember, Whitt had posts from cougarboard taped to the locker of Travis Wilson. If Big 12 fans think Whitt isn’t hearing what they are saying…heh heh. Should be fun. I hope Utah can handle the big, bad Big 12.

The Big 12 leftovers are so…strange. They have such a massive inflated view of themselves.

The thing I love most about them is the idea that we haven’t played any real football the last 10 years. That we haven’t played in stadium like theirs and against Big 12 talent.

I love it. That noise coming from a group of teams who has BYU as their…[Read more]

We lost one starting C, a starting RB and a DE who had limited snaps and a WR who had limited snaps. How could we be losers in the transfer portal, even if we had no transfers in? And the C, left because he was passed in the depth chart.

We had a similarly rated RB transfer in with Anthony Woods. We did not replace the C who left. The other two…[Read more]

Anthony Woods is a .89 rated RB that transferred in. Jackson was rated a .92. We replaced Jackson.

Colorado won one PAC-12 game last year. One.

They brought in 44? 48? new players. Utah has traditionally relied on a lot of transfers/JC guys. They usually don’t excel year 1. It’s year 2 you see big progress.

Deion hasn’t shown that he improves players. He hasn’t developed a single soul. So he’s asking a whole new roster to come in and gel…[Read more]

This. Every single Big 12 team will be disappointed the they are still in the Big 12 in 2030.
