2008 National Champ

If you’re allowed to enter, you’re allowed to win

Scalley should have been doing that the second he accepted the Coach in Waiting title.

Scalley can’t fix the O in season any more than Bajakian can. At this point, you’re just hoping for lightning in a bottle which perhaps Whitt could provide if he announced he was stepping down after the season. Maybe the kids can come together trying to send him out in style.

And the next 2 weeks should be the first open QB competition since…[Read more]

All Bernard need do is look at the stat sheet. Boise was in as close to a must win last night as they will have all season with a QB who couldn’t throw his way out of a paper bag. So they fed Jeanty 33 times with another 3 catches. Bernard? The only bright spot in every game this season got 18 touches while Wilson threw 22 times before getting pulled.

Can we use terms like “if the program continues to spiral out of control” or “horribly bad” now? asking for a friend 🙂

Not good I agree with but I still bought into the idea that it couldn’t be worse than 2023 and have been operating on that basis all year. Count me in the bunch that thought Whitt would coach his way out of this mess.

I disagree. That long ball was a play that McLain needs to make. Rose was throwing the ball on target. Even his pick shouldn’t have been because Ryan stood there and let a defender beat him to the ball.

Rose’s first full drive the receivers dropped 3 balls. The second drive he kept hitting his spots and took them to a TD. After that, the…[Read more]

To be fair, I can look at my posts from just 2 weeks ago up above and wonder how I could have been so “rainbows and unicorns”. And I’m pretty much universally considered to be in the running for NegaUte of the decade. Even my most pessimistic observations have been shattered as unworthy of consideration by any reasonable individual at this point.

who’da thunk there would ever be a time when Utah didn’t want to be compared to Florida State. Up is down, left is right.,,

It’s not like they’ve been facing murderer’s row to this point either. Heck, the only thing keeping Arizona from a 6 game losing streak is that they got to play Utah. In fact, a lot of people are getting healthy off Utah this year.

It’s one thing to call the Big-12 a truck stop conference. It’s another to get trucked by what were supposed to…[Read more]

no one is arguing his defense. however, if the bar is 20 ppg from his offense to be successful and he can’t hit it how can you justify keeping him on? because he’s the HNIC. Ludwig was the symptom but the problem is and always has been at the top.

How do you not call a TO before that 3rd and 1 when they aren’t in field goal range yet? Just…[Read more]

they are already spending top 5 money for bottom 5 performance. do you have any confidence that the same people will all of a sudden figure out what competency looks like and hire appropriately?

4-8 is only acceptable if Harlan cleans house. UW went from 4-8 to in the playoffs in two seasons. But it won’t be done with yesterday’s ideas

The last OC was supposed to have a playbook with over 1,000 plays in it. It’s now confirmed that it is filled with 1,000 variations of 6 plays.

That was on the defense.

fun fact: Manjack had Utah on his top 4 before choosing SC. Transferred after one year to Houston. He was a receiver that I really wanted that class although I think that is an opinion instead of a fact

the whole frickin’ game the middle of the D has been open. Against an offense that can’t throw.

Oh, and nice Ole tackle by Barton on 4th down. Sheesh
