We won’t be champs right away. We are losing a ton of production after this year. Ute fans saying we will win right away are idiots.

Why don’t Big12 fans like us? Because they know we’ll be number 1 or 2 the second we join the conference, and they don’t like that.

They like TSPP because they aren’t a threat. They are a nice little team that will treat them nice and put butts in seats. They know there is zero chance TSPP becomes a perennial Big12 contender.

Last year we were not ready to play, especially on defense. The plays were there to be made, and we simply did not make them. My worries for this year’s game are reflected in the results of last year’s game. Will we be ready to play?

If we come prepared to play tackle football instead of two-hand touch like last year we will be fine.

Great post. Interesting discussion.

The 3 games I would love to see TSPP to lose this year: Sam Houston, SUU, Arkansas. Why? Because it would be hilarious to see TSPP fans and their realization that they aren’t prepared for life in the Big12.

I think TSPP’s floor is 3 wins, ceiling is 8 wins (with the most likely result being 6).

and we can trust the NCAA to regulate it properly? I don’t think so. The teams that were cheating before will go on cheating and won’t be investigated by the NCAA. Don’t see how this changes anything unless the NCAA cleans house and hires people with integrity.

That dude is in high school? 6ft2, 225… High school running back. Jeeze Louise. I tried desperately to get up over 155 in HS and I was 6ft4. Looks like a great pick up.

They will, but will the best of the best, the kids who KNOW from a relatively young age that they have a legit shot at the NFL, be persuaded to choose a different position? If the best of the best choose a different position, that means the top programs in CFB will be going after the level of running backs that we now go after.

The hype is justified if for no other reason than because he is expected to be RB1 for the Utah Utes. RB1 for the Utah Utes means he is expected to be a 1000+ yard rusher. There are plenty of quality options behind him, so if he wasn’t good enough to be that guy, he wouldn’t be RB1.

He definitely looks like he has more to offer than Luka Tarlac, and I don’t mean that as a slight to Tarlac. I just remember his tape when he signed on, and it wasn’t as impressive.

No Cam Rising is a bit surprising… No JJ is even more surprising though IMO. Just odd that neither of those two was even an honorable mention. I’d bet my house (if I had one) that one of those two would end up being at least honorable mention by season’s end.

I love big running backs. They are very effective in College football.

Sure, but the opposite is also true.

That’s fair. The AD certainly is the most boom or bust job in college sports. He deserves credit for everything good, and bad, which is why I don’t think he is in the top spot if we are talking positive effect. If you take the OP’s question at it’s literal meaning, then yes, he’s #1. If you understand it to mean positive effect, then I think the…[Read more]

Chris Hill also ruined the MBB program though. Overall what the positives outweigh the bad for sure, but IMO the bad things that he did knock him down a rung or two.

Along with (allegedly) ignoring reports of abuse by one of his coaches, Chris Hill is responsible for running MBB into the ground.

Think we sign a guy maybe last year that was a 4* on at least one site. I believe his name is Tao Johnson… but he is playing defense now.
