I have a confession to make. I have this strange addiction of going to CougarBoard and reading their comments when BYU is getting their butts kicked. I just find it hilarious. http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=18643574http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=18643503http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=18643611

He waived his compensation through 2021. Wow. 

Good commit for Utah. Offers from USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona St., Cal., Oregon. 

Where is the interview?

Thought I saw him in there – first defensive series of 2nd half. 

I agree. If true then that is too bad. I actually kinda liked Boney’s tweets, even though he’s a Y fan. He kind of breaks through the stiff BYU fans that have such a dry, lame sense of humor or no sense of humor at all.

It would be great to win Penei Sewell. One of the top offensive line prospects in the nation.  But with Alabama and USC in the mix, I doubt he’ll choose Utah. 

Good grief. Even BYU is better than us  on 3rd downs, and they’ve played against much more difficult defenses. 

Mike Norvell is the coach of Memphis. He was the offensive coordinator at Arizona State under Todd Graham a few years back.  That’s when they were pretty good and had a good offense especially when Taylor Kelly was QB. Turned him into a pretty good QB(only a 2 star recruit if I remember right). When he was at ASU, his personality reminded me of…[Read more]

The Android app works pretty good. 

Somebody posted on another board that they had spoken to the family of Chase and they said he could be out 2 to 4 weeks. I have no idea how to verify this. Just reporting what I read. 

Glad we got Simpkins. I briefly met his parents just after the spring game. Very nice people. Yes.  His parents flew in from Florida just to see the spring game. What awesome family support. 

So according to Saban it’s considered being a quitter if one of his players transfers.  But it’s ok for Saban to quit the Dolphins. 

This is great work. And I don’t mean to ask you to do more work (which I am not) as this is good and makes your point well. But I think using a recruiting ranking as opposed to stars would be more accurate and make your point even better. For example, 247 has Tyquez Hampton as a 3* but with a rating number as 0.8813, which is Utah’s highest rated…[Read more]

I saw Tyrone Smith last week (the rainy practice.) I didn’t see him yesterday. He may have been out there but I didn’t see him.

You are right about Nacua’s cockiness. On the sidelines he was jawing with the kicker after he missed a field goal badly. I think it was Antezana (did I get the spelling right?) that missed. Then, when he made the next…[Read more]

I agree with Utah. I also thought Nacua had some nice plays as receiver. Also it was great on a few occasions to see the receivers come back to the QB and make a play when the QB was in trouble. I think that is a Troy Taylor thing. Also there were quite a few planned QB runs. I thought Bateman threw into double or triple coverage too often. He…[Read more]

I think I read this in a Goon article (I could be wrong) but there was a quote where Troy was saying this system is much better than last years.

From the tribune article: “The scheme that we were running last year wasn’t the best, but we tried to make the most of it,” Williams said. “The scheme we have this year is real quarterback-friendly,…[Read more]

Yes he did. Definitely better than Huntley IMO.

I was there also – the lone guy on the east side of the stadium. I don’t have much to say but the following:

1. Cooper Bateman has to be the best 3rd string QB anywhere. It will be hard to not play him this year.

2. Leki Fotu. Good heavens – what a monster. He is HUGE.

It’s too bad the weather was rainy as it was difficult to tell how good…[Read more]
