2008 National Champ

ARod pulls a Ludwig. Offense has barely been stopped but felt the need to have a RB throw the ball.

And then okie gave it right back. Talk about getting rewarded for something silly

spoke too soon. Ollie Gordon had more yards on that drive than any game this season

well that was a quick score. maybe Utah really did break okie state.

UCF put in their freshman QB last week and he played better than what they were getting. It’ll be tough but that was a top 10 offense last year with a bad QB running it this year. Some regression to the mean + an off week for ISU might be enough but I’d have to say Baylor and UCF are the least likely outcomes, even if they provide the most help.

any savage that is capable of screwing up a brownie should have their cooking rights stripped for all time. just sayin’

I agree with your thoughts except for one thing, and it seems to pretty common. People keep referring to 10, 20 sometimes even 30 years ago. And for me it’s one of the many times in life that two things can be true at the same time.

You can always pick out an arbitrary point in the past to compare your current situation to and have it be…[Read more]

I put the smiley to show that I was joking about the straw man argument / hyperbole. Not everything we say to each other on here needs to be treated as a declaration of war.

12-0 every year is a strawman argument. You’re better than that

I think you need to have two things to attract 2nd tier talent consistently which is something Utah currently aspires to:

1 – You need to be a place kids want to play. I define that as consistently winning more than you lose, competing for conference championships regularly, and a…[Read more]

1988 against the parochial school

Luther had ~ 10 years of coaching experience before coming back. Ganther has coached elsewhere. I’m not against former Utah players per se. But only if they have proven themselves as coaches first. Utah football shouldn’t be a jobs program.

There’s a lot of good coaches out there. Might want to look a little deeper than just former Utah players that in some cases, have ZERO coaching experience. Let alone filling up a staff with those types.

And how do you think Rowe would work with Scalley? Wasn’t he the leader of the “Scalley is a racist” movement once the texts became public?

contact on a rub route is okay as long as the receiver “acts” like he tried to avoid it. that was a great call poorly executed.

Ludwig has good plays at his disposal. He just doesn’t use them. Run the exact same play again. Flip the formation and immediately run the same play to the other side. Line up in the same formation and run a counter…[Read more]

who needs NIL when you’ve got MILF

possibly this week per reports but you know who is being coy about it. if he’s dressed this week in pre-game, he probably plays but I’m trying not to invoke the dreaded GTD.

if potentially bringing someone in makes Wilson even think about transferring, then you have to do it. Otherwise you create the exact same situation Utah is currently in. Wilson could go down on any play and not having a qualified backup is always unacceptable.

It is now a professional sport in everything but name and needs to be treated as…[Read more]

We’re just discussing other openings. No one knows what he wants to do or even if he can ever get to the level those schools would want.

For me, his name and the endless discussion around him has been nails on a chalkboard and I don’t want to go through that anymore. It had gotten to the point that I didn’t want to watch or follow Utah…[Read more]

Sayers is before my time. Dorsett is probably the first great back that I would remember. I saw OJ but only his San Francisco year and Franco Harris was on the tail end of his career by the time I started watching football and understanding it.

As a kid, my parents would get me those anthology sports books that would be devoted to 8-10 players…[Read more]

I said “best” not only. Give me two RB’s that appear roughly equal in all other aspects and I want the one the defenders are never able to square up on.

Fifita’s coming back next year. I guess I should say he will be playing in college next year, with the school to be determined. So I wouldn’t count on the Arizona job opening.
