On expansion, they will say the BigXII doesn’t need Utah and shouldn’t invite the U because BYU already brings the Utah market and they don’t need two teams from the same market, but then in the next breath they will say the BigXII should invite both ASU and Arizona. 😂🤣😂

Yup. I’ve been laughing at their junior-high logic about this for month…

You want more cougarboard crazy bulls**t speculation?

Looks like you got that and a lot more, LOL.

Ugh.

USC is close to home – so that makes some sense. And, if NIL money came, that would make sense too. But, Kincaid had more catches in the USC game at Rice-Eccles than all of the TEs at USC for the whole season. That is where this is perplexing.

Transfer from Induana.

247 profile

I’m waiting for it to happen also. Lander Barton was a 5-star On3, but was 4-star on Rivals, 247, and ESPN. Close, but I’d love a consensus 5-star where all the recruiting services rate him a 5-star. I think it will happen some day.

I think Fano might get a bump, but probably not to 5-star. Regardless, Utah’s OLine recruiting this time is one of…[Read more]

This. They’ll use it as an excuse for taking last place in the XII the next few years.

You can see it now:

Low IQ Zoob: “I’d rather be last place in a REAL conference than the two-time champions of a G6 like the Pac-12”.

My thoughts exactly. I’ve always hated TCU and I can’t root for them tonight. While it is difficult to root for a SEC team, I’m going to do it – I have to give credit to Georgia – tough team that has passed Alabama for this season and last year – they deserve a lot of credit for their success. Besides, I’m sick of my BYU friends telling me how…[Read more]

I voted “Very Satisfied”. At the start of the season, I predicted four losses, with a non-New Year’s bowl, such as the Holiday Bowl. So, the Rose Bowl exceeded my expectations. Honestly, I did not expect another conference championship, and I was ecstatic with another PAC-12 championship.

I expected the team to be hurt by losing Covey on…[Read more]

I broke my nose once playing basketball in 8th grade. Every time I am put in a similar situation on defense my mind goes back to that moment. It didn’t hurt, it wasn’t that big of a deal, but it’s forever stuck in my mind.

I played soccer in my youth – about 40 years ago. I got a hard kick by the ball in my face – it knocked me on the groun…[Read more]

Update:

On Micah Bernard entering the portal… Sources close to Micah have told me:

-He wants to be THE guy, but it’s a stacked room.

ADDITIONALLY

-I’m also told Tavion Thomas put such a dark cloud over the room that it really impacted Bernard negatively and put him in a dark space.

I think CPIII opting out affected the defense more than we think. Utah played a lot more zone than I expected in the game, and I wonder if that was because of CPIII being out. Clifford shredded the defense in zone coverage, as good, experienced QBs often do.

My feelings exactly. Last year I honestly expected tOSU to blow us out by 24 points or more. The fact that it went down to the last seconds of the game was a pleasant surprise and the sting of losing wasn’t too bad.

This year I expected the Utes to win. Especially when there were reports of “it just feels different this year” and reports of the…[Read more]

Who is CBanon?

there are Ute uniforms I have loved and others I just don’t like

I don’t like Utah’s Ohio State -looking uniforms with the Red/Gray combo. But, if the players like them and are excited by them, that is all that matters. Most other combos I like a lot – especially the all Red – just love the Red color – especially with the shiny helmets.
