Asshole fans are asshole fans. I think people being wasted is just kind of a way of making an excuse for themselves. Plenty of people are drinking enough to be buzzed and not assholes and plenty of people who don’t drink at all are still assholes.

It’s really hard to be upset about his tenure at Utah. He brought so much not just to the football team, or just the school, he had a gigantic impact on the community’s relationship with the school. (I do think he benefitted that both Majerus and Mac primed the pump too)

In terms of some of the more personal traits, over time those demons have…[Read more]

well said.

Outside of OSU/WSU and the 10 relegation teams who wants that? Maybe the California schools because they all royally messed up their travel?

That seems like a giant step back. The bigger conferences are good for the “cross” games because on any given week there are more good TV games that aren’t just regional. Those divisions just mean everyone…[Read more]

I thought it was pretty poor coaching to stay in a zone and play the lineup he did last night.

I’m saddened at how meh I feel about all the games Utah isn’t part of.

In the PAC12 there was always interest in what at least a couple of the teams were doing. Maybe as a conference race shapes up that will add some but man there’s just no national brands in the BIG12. (sadly including us)

4×12 makes more sense than 4×10 to me.

Also I think geography plays in which can hurt some of teams we would be in competition with in the south and mid west for spots because I think Utah will benefit in some small ways by being easily the most desirable team in the Mountain time zone. Granted it’s the smallest time zone but it does help I think.

Fun game. Thought there would be more there.

Was a good game. Headed back on Wednesday.

I think it’s a bad decision. Being on the Ravens behind Lamar gives him time and money and being around a culture with winning experience. If he was getting significant money to go play for a loser team like the Browns then ok it’s a risk and a payoff. That’s not what he’s getting.

this post almost seems like a troll.

Anyone who was going to care about this was not going to play for Utah anyway because they wouldn’t be the kind of player who “becomes us”

My feeling is you can have a transfer portal or an endless NIL but you can’t have both.

NIL money doesn’t kill the game if you pick your school and stay there.
Transfer portal becomes less of an issue if you aren’t incentivizing it with $$$

I don’t think the NCAA will win much in the NIL world because it’s booster money but I do think they have…[Read more]

Really cool to be able to do that kind of data analysis.

Every team on your top 20 I can see why is ahead of Utah (Nebraska would be my biggest question not MSU) but what I’d be most curious about is the trend lines. I have a hard time believing that over the course of the last 20 years but especially since joining the PAC12 Utah wasn’t the…[Read more]

As long as football pays for football and basketball for basketball I’m just fine with it.

When football pays for tennis and volleyball and has to pay football salaries that’s nuts to me.

100% the people reshaping the world of college football are destroying it so they can build it up to be the money making machine they want it to be. And which btw, they are doing an absolute helluva job doing.

TV money doesn’t care about teams, players, coaches, schools or any of it. They care about eyeballs and selling commercials. If the…[Read more]

I think it’s less corrupt now then it was when bowl games were the thing. It wasn’t much different than the Olympic committees when the idiots with their themed coats and fruit baskets would come to see if they were going to invite you *wink wink*

Now it’s just purely about the money. And TV is the money. Season ticket holders meh. Student…[Read more]

Of all the people to blame for that game I think Ludwig is pretty low on the list.

The OL looked like.. well it was hard to see them I am not sure if they were on the field.

Th QB missed everything. Possibly because he was throwing up hero balls to the defense because the only thing he could see was the purple.

JJ being hurt again (is there a…[Read more]

I think the coaching has to be considered among if not the worst of Whitts tenure. This was a Jon Hayes season for the second time and that’s pretty inexcusable.

Roster management has to start with quarterback and this year was abominable. And that’s coming off of Whitt calling this the most talented roster he’s ever had.

Compounding that…[Read more]

Somehow getting out of the BigXII and into the B1G

The current system has always had the 5 champions 4 spots problem. If you didn’t sift though every bit of it and said blindly that 3 of them were 13-0 and 2 were 12-1 it’s hard to not say all would be “deserving”. They all had bad games that they won and all had show pony moments.

But as we around here have seen all year and for 2 Rose Bowls a…[Read more]
