2008 National Champ

I always thought them of an eastern USC but with far less success, They’re getting their asses handed to them right about now. I still maintain that with a healthy QB, any healthy QB, Utah would have beaten them when we played them in October. They’ve ridden their luck all season and now it’s about to run out.

Back when we first entered the PAC and ASU was decent and led by Todd Graham, I really only hated USC more in the conference. Now that they’re decent again under Dillingham, and their fans have returned to their level of ass douchery, they’re back on my shit list. So, Hook ’em Horns!!!

That’s the other one I was thinking of using…

LOL…but it’s happy music!

I dedicate this song Nate. Welcome back!!!

Never Can Say Goodbye

Yo Jim:

Wake Me Up!

I like the fact that he’s a former Ute, but so was Quinton Ganther. Loved him as a player, not so much as a coach. All I’m saying is let’s see some positive results.

Are we sure it’s Harlan? Seems like Utah has struck out with every basketball hire since Majerus stepped away. Coach K was about the only one that, at least for a couple of seasons, was able to pull the Utes out of mediocrity. It’s basketball. It shouldn’t be that hard to put together a team to make the NCAAs.

Yeah, I know who you’re talking about. He’s the guy who was just looking at the overall record and not seeing how the team was playing or the low quality of the opponents. I call him the “rainbows and sprinkles” guy. The thing is that, no matter how badly Utah does the rest of the season, Craig Smith is not getting fired. We’ll have him around…[Read more]

LOL…

Is this a surprise to anyone? We’ve been saying for weeks that this team is about as unathletic and lacking in fundamentals as any in the P4. Maybe, if they’re lucky, the Utes will win half their conference home schedule. They will surely lose every away game against any semi-competent competition.

But don’t worry…Smith will get a pass…[Read more]

I don’t know. He’s got enough talent that he might want to take a shot at the NFL. Just two seasons ago, he was a 1st Team All PAC 12 WR…

Outside sources focused on issues associated with strength and conditioning. It’s not normal for any team to have so many injuries over such a prolonged period of time.

What revenue? The team is going to get paid the same amount whether any player plays. And if it’s the exposure they are after, well, that’s a double-edged sword, especially after seeing them crap the bed last night.

Why should a school pay for something that’s solely catering to a player’s self-interest? The school will get paid for going to a bowl whether the player plays or not. If the player is so worried about getting injured, then let the player get the policy on his own dime or sit out, as many do already.

The real question should be why Colorado did it, not why other teams aren’t doing it, because it makes zero sense to outlay a large amount of cash to cover two players, to the detriment of the rest of the team, to play in an exhibition game. According to Colorado’s AD, this was Deion Sanders’ idea, though the school was the one that covered the…[Read more]

But did you hear how/why they did it? Colorado took out a massive injury insurance policy on both of them to insure that if they did get injured, they would receive a settlement commensurate to what their projected earnings would be as NFL draft picks. That’s the only reason either of those guys played last night.

I agree with you in the sense that all bowl games not part of the CFP are irrelevant. However, I sincerely doubt that they’ll be going away for a number of reasons, the most important one being the money that the schools receive for taking part in what are essentially meaningless exhibition games.

The networks need a lot of sports content during…[Read more]

Without a doubt…that’s the way ahead…

He might be affected by that junior college ruling associated with Diego Pavia. I know he was at Snow College before spending the last two seasons at Utah State.
