2008 National Champ

It’s enough that we’re evenly split on the call. Let’s not do alternate reality timelines on what everything thinks would have happened if a certain call had been different. Take the win and move on

I thought it was collar bone twice, or one and one non-throwing shoulder, and then he played most of 2019 at about 80% but that was lower body. Either way, Huntley got roughed up every year.

He’s been early a couple of times and then pulled it back. I assume he pre-writes the articles/posts and then waits until the school is okay with him announcing as a courtesy but accidentally hits send instead of save.

Imagine being a kid’s parent and finding out your son was injured through social media before they had a chance to tell you themselves.

Monday’s are usually light work with little to no hitting. At this point in the season, I’d be surprised if they were even in pads. Mainly film review and walking through this week’s game plan.

Interesting that no one brought it up at Whitt’s presser. If it was season ending, he usually let’s that out of the bag

Don’t get me started on the summer I spent at the nudie bars in Eugene. Lap dance and a decent steak with all the fixin’s for $10. And the girls looked like they should have been on the Oregon cheerleading squad and had all their teeth!

I only speak for myself and am not on the different social media’s trying to tell anyone that the Big 12 is an unworthy conference. I don’t defend bad behaviour from Utah fans and don’t go out of my way to insult other team’s fans. I routinely go to other team’s fansites and always have good interactions because I’m there to talk about them, not…[Read more]

And if true, when did it happen? A foot injury could explain why he ran less and his throws weren’t as crisp in the 2nd half.

The next question becomes: do you go back to Wilson or let Bottari try for 2-0 against Colorado?

I loved when I watched the McMahon documentary how honest he was about his adherence to the code. And how he was drummed out of school immediately after that last bowl game. Thanks for coming, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.,,

There is a mechanism for officiating accountability but it is not public so we never know it happens unless it was so bad it can’t be hidden like the SC/WSU targeting game on a Friday night. The conference had to acknowledge their staff members were involved in real time in the outcome.

Otherwise, the teams have to submit clips of plays they…[Read more]

’75 was the better series. Bernie Carbo v Carlton Fisk in 7 games. I can still name the starting 9 for the Big Red Machine and taught myself to dive headfirst into third based on that iconic Sports Illustrated cover of Pete Rose.

Your ancient ass is only 3 years older than me, mister.

Yeah, not much chance Jim McMahon was ever going to follow an honor code. Sounds like Z Wilson got away with whatever he wanted if the rumors were true and I even heard about Jake Heaps’s exploits when I was working in California.

Add Stanford and, to some extent Notre Dame, to the Ivy’s and the other blue bloods don’t have a chance at outspending them. Maybe Texas could? I don’t remember if it was Texas or A&M that was endowed with oil wells but think it was Texas.

The Ivy’s, Stanford and Notre Dame are each essentially sitting on Elon Musk money and could build the…[Read more]

I’ve been to games in Manhattan, Lawrence, Stillwater, Norman, even went to a game in Tulsa once and none of them involved Utah. Great seats at cheap prices (except Norman) as long as a big name isn’t in town. I’ve also been to games in Corvallis & Pullman. The fans aren’t any less passionate, they’ll gladly share their tailgate both before and…[Read more]

I’m less concerned with the picks, even though I’d like more, than I am the fumbles. Utah has recovered two of 11 this year which puts them at minus 3.5 on the luck meter. Bounces going your way is usually a big indicator in the type of season your team is having.

I keep coming back to the Retzlaff fumble around his own 10 that they were able…[Read more]

I can’t get past the ball placement on that throw. Right at the sideline but still in bounds so Kuithe didn’t have to make a jumping or tip-toe catch. Even if the DB hadn’t stumbled, I don’t think he could have gotten to the ball to knock it away. Just a perfect dime.

For me, Minnesota is the only one on that list that is no longer a blue blood. In robber baron terms, they are the Vanderbilt family which squandered it’s fortunes through multiple bad generations and other than Anderson Cooper are no longer relevant.

The Ivy’s still hold their blue blood status even though they don’t compete at the highest…[Read more]

other teams sure do it to Utah enough that you’d think we might try it back at least once a game.

We have conceded the facemask. Even though the initial contact at or near the helmet which made Rose’s head turn is typically an indicator of either facemask or illegal hands to the helmet. In the PAC, we had a player ejected for targeting for less than that facemask. You can’t go high on a QB as another parochial school defender found out a…[Read more]

On a separate note, can we have some sort of technology that indicates when a coach calls a timeout! There’s not much else that p**ses me off in a game when that play clock goes to 00 flags fly for delay of game and two seconds later a ref comes running out onto the field announcing a ghost timeout.

Better option might be to not let a TO be c…[Read more]
