You couldn’t count on that guy for anything. Row all the way to Troy and he decides to sun himself on the beach instead of storming the castle.,,

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Court ruling in Tennessee means zero restrictions for NIL in the forum Football 6 months, 4 weeks ago
What seems to be lost in fan’s complaints, however, is the simple fact that the previous system violated the inherent rights of the student athletes. That is what the courts have ruled.
That’s not technically true. The O’Bannon case simply said that the NCAA and it’s member schools could not license a player’s NIL without compensating t…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic 50% of Total CFB viewership from only 18 brands from 2016-23 in the forum Football 6 months, 4 weeks ago
I’m of the opinion that the people who were unhappy with all of the day games in ’23 will be very happy with all the night games in ’24. ESPN will just rename it Big 12 After Dark and feature the four corner schools as much as possible in opposition to Fox putting the BIG west coast teams in those slots.
Again, my opinion only, but I believe…[Read more]

Am I remembering correctly and you work in media? Or is there a database that you are drawing from.
I’d say that Utah has/had the 4th or 5th highest profile in the Pac over the time period for the thread and that’s not a bad thing. I also feel like Utah had maximized their potential in that time. Oregon and even a bad SC are going to get the…[Read more]

It must be exhausting trying to come up with things I’ve never said so that you can tout yourself as a better fan

I see Army and Navy on your above list. Their ratings are based on one game per year without any competition.
How are you handling sample size issues?

If this site is going to further devolve into a place where things can only be viewed as the best possible outcome instead of the most realistic, I will wear the name Eeyore proudly

getting to play on network/espn/fox gets you higher viewership than the P12 network. Because there were 6 or 7 teams with national relevance in ’23, Utah got to play them on channels with higher viewership instead of being relegated to the conference network.
but sure, Utah found some secret sauce last year to increase their viewership…[Read more]

Yet another thing to blame on California. We were all perfectly fine with our heads in the sand, pretending that “student-athlete” was a real thing and that a recruit, once recruited, would stay on campus until he/she exhausted their eligibility. Then the California legislature passed NIL at the same time the NCAA – pressured by California -…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Whitt ranked 3rd best coach in college football in the forum Football 7 months ago
I respectfully disagree. Had Utah won every bowl game since 2018 instead of the other way around, there would be people on here trumpeting Whitt’s record in bowl games. Just like they did prior to then.
If a stat is only to be considered relevant when it fits the narrative you want to present, the problem is the narrative and not the stat.

seems like an easy decision if Ole Miss has a position coach spot available since Utah doesn’t right now.

if only there was some way to get empirical data.,, perhaps if there was a hypothetical line drawn where everyone on one side of the line lived by one set of rules and everyone on the other lived by different. then you could count the number of people willing to risk their lives sneaking from one side of the line to the other to determine which…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Predicting 2024 Utah Football Season (based on SP+) in the forum Football 7 months ago
It’s Baylor for me, just like it was last year. That’s the game best set up for a relatively easy win. 5 weeks of camp to prep, scrimmage week 1 to knock the rust off, and a coach on the warm seat who just changed his entire staff.
A low stress win against Baylor would signal that the team is capable of double digits. Struggling like they…[Read more]

don’t be lazy 🙂
(otherwise I’d have to sim EVERY team’s seasons to see how they all change as well)
That’s a tough over to hit. Utah has only done so once since entering P5 competition (2019). If I was a betting person, I’d probably put a small wager on the under while rooting for the over. But Utah just isn’t a good bet for this year. Sa…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Cam Rising? in the forum Football 7 months, 1 week ago
hopalong is going to be a minor participant in spring ball. even if he wasn’t 14 months post surgery, there’s nothing to learn by having him run drills. Whitt already blew one season throwing all his eggs in that basket, there’s not a chance in hell that he takes the bubble wrap off before Labor Day weekend now that he’s doubled down.

2014 would have been the only season that counted and Dres only played 6 games. If the range included 2013, he would absolutely be on the list

If just talking nickel, I’d put Guidry over Vaki’s 4-5 games there.
Blackmon was so much better at Free than Corner that I might move him there. Or put Chase at Safety since he played multiple years there and there really isn’t a shortage of excellent LB’s.
I think if looked in combination, I’d rather have Blackmon (FS)/ Hanson (SS) / Bernard…[Read more]
