That makes sense regarding football, but logically it seems like it might be in the best interest of TDS to just let their athletics die. The rivalry is all negative PR and animosity, so I can’t really see the church leaders involved in the decision being for it. I dunno, it’s weird man, really weird.

Is there any indication as to why certain people in the legislature would try to retaliate if the game was cancelled? I admittedly scoffed at your response earlier today when you mentioned that the hospital would be defunded, but you clarified your logic well and I’m finding myself convinced. Why would it be so important to have the game for t…[Read more]

I don’t know the Jack Sears story, but Jayden Daniels didn’t have any conditions that I’m aware of, he was just a silent commit who flipped. What happened with Sears?

Just don’t count on the NCAA to complete Bam’s eligibility review anytime soon.

Fubo was pretty overpriced in my estimation. Best bet seemed to be a combo of Sling for Pac-12 and obscure channels like CBS Sports, and either Hulu or YouTube TV with the sports package. We like Hulu because of Ducktales and some other kid friendly steaming shows, they are also offering Disney + as an add on when it launches. Somewhere between…[Read more]

Not me, I want astonishment and disappointment from them on the first series from Utah. Followed by that sucking, overpowering depression that comes from the knowledge of impending doom. MWAH HA HA HA HA!

Yup, didn’t they also have the best rushing defense in the country last year.  Don’t know who they lost to graduation or the draft, but it will be a tall task to rely on Eno Benjamin to beat them.  Plus they’re likely starting a freshman quarterback who shall not be named.  Like @UteThunder says, no Manny Wilkins and no N’Keal Harry stacks the…[Read more]

This was on the paid site.  I’m still not holding it together.

BYU does not have the kind of DL that will wear out our OL.  Not enough edge speed to wear out the tackles and not enough interior strength to wear out the guards and center.  The best BYU could hope for as far as endurance goes is a stalemate, which means they lose because they’re not getting pressure.  Even against the run, you have to have…[Read more]

History of football losses is bastardizing baseball and football. We’ve beaten Petersen before, and with Gaskin and Browning gone, breaking in a new quarterback against this DL will be tough. SC has switched to the air raid, we’ll see how it does against potentially the best secondary in the conference. Leach hit the Jackpot with Falk and the…[Read more]

Just trying to help people get to heaven. 🙂

I agree with Pace on this.  Why can’t we build ourselves up to be the next blue blood?  We’ve got a long way to go, but why can’t we be the next Oklahoma?  We have a lot of work to do, but it could happen.  Especially if BYU football goes the way of the dinosaur and the U becomes the flagship university of the state.

Season withdrawals loss of Daniels and nothing interesting in sports at the moment.  Probably going to be a longish feeling off-season as well.  Combine that with a Utah winter and, well, there you go.

There are still plenty that have more offers out.  Iowa State has 300+.  I’m sure there are plenty more.  I get that you were using hyperbole, but it tainted the narrative, Utah has to sort through more kids than the blue bloods.  If Oklahoma or USC come after you, they’re getting you 99% of the time, so they don’t offer as many kids.  Nothing…[Read more]

Does that translate to losses though?  Does it equate to recruiting failure.  I’ve never read an article anywhere stating that this is an issue, although we all know PK is looking for dirt on the forum a la J. Jonah Jameson.  I can see it now, “Utah ranked lowest in the PAC-12 in offers to signees ratio.”

Just realized I needed to expand your comment. Derp.

That was how I initially read this as well in my morning fogginess.

You’re argument is that the backups are not as good as the starters.  I think we can all agree on that.  We still had our best season ever in the conference.  Why does anyone need to be held accountable?  We will be even better next year with a more favorable schedule.  If we underperform then, I’ll be on board with holding people…[Read more]

Or, you know, 1 year.
