2008 National Champ

The problem is the immediate comparison with Rose who is much more polished and has as good or better arm. And wondering what it was people were seeing in practice that showed different than what has been obvious in game play.

On Rose’s picks, I can make a case that the receiver was at fault. Most of Wilson’s were entirely on him. Rose was…[Read more]

my bad. i wasn’t issued a sarcasm detector at birth 🙂

Snowden was on his way to one when the play got whistled dead for an offensive penalty against Houston(? maybe TCU). There’s been chances

We all react based on our expectations being met. People who said 9 wins was the floor probably take this season harder than I am. I’ve played enough sports in my life to know that any outcome can happen and that losing is just as contagious as winning. The trap I won’t fall into though is believing that this season is an anomaly and we should…[Read more]

wanna bet? 11-30-24 is the over/under for positive spins of the 2024 debacle to start being applied to the soon to be expected playoff run in 2025.

That’s the truth of endorsements. You are compensated for what you have already done in the hope that you will be able to replicate or exceed it moving forward and someone can capitalize on your exposure.

At this point, investing any money in Rising is like those 10 year contracts they give to baseball players in the 30’s. You know it’s going…[Read more]

fascination with those 3 letters sure do cause a lot of problems in the Utah fanbase. never have I ever seen a situation where a fanbase is okay with their own misfortune as long as a specific other’s is worse.

I don’t think we’re disagreeing.,, at least I’m not disagreeing with you.

I don’t think you could have convinced the most pessimistic Utah fan in August that there was any possibility this season would play out in the fashion it has. There are still some who will argue that the team will figure out a way to win out from here, including a bowl…[Read more]

I’m not sure the point unless there’s an alternate reality where you can take your score from one game and apply it to another.

Lots of things could have made the difference in this 6 game losing streak. Just as they could have for the teams that Utah beat this year. The one thing that has not been in short supply for Utah this season is golden…[Read more]

2 of those 3 are much improved over 2023. And still should have been considered upsets to a program run by Whitt which is the most damning part of this season. It’s not just the losses but who he is losing to and how.

I will take a mea culpa on one thing. When the 247 Team Talent Composite scores came out prior to the season, both Arizona…[Read more]

Not yet. 2 more games to get it done

24 would have been enough to win a lot of weeks. This was one where 24 was irrelevant

I expect half the team to be gone in the portal (or run out of eligibility) no matter how this season finishes. Glover/Lyons/Pittman were just the first of many.

Wasn’t Lohner in on that first drive sack? Pretty sure they were trying to set up a pick play to get him open

After Harlan lost the narrative last week and went on the field before the game was over, he should be the first one out the door. And if it means everyone under him needs to follow, so be it. Because the benefit of the doubt was lost for all of the “responsible” parties involved a long time ago.

Defense gave you the ball at their 21 and 23 in the first half. 14 total yards on 11 plays and 2 FG’s out of that.

Little Jordan Wynn was much more prepared to go as a true freshman. I feel confident that Huntley could have gone in 2016 if needed. Didn’t Travis Wilson get forced into action as a true freshman?

People need to stop apologizing for Wilson. This is the same kid that most were convinced was not only going to put up 3 stellar years before going…[Read more]

The only reason to have an AD is so that there is someone who can recognize that the Head Coach is no longer effective in his job. If the goal of this season or any future is so that Whitt can go out on top, be prepared for more seasons like 2024. Because a below .500 record is now probably more likely than him winning a conference championship.

Johnson can’t stop himself when it comes to trying to invent his own names/nicknames for people
