And in the same vein, the mormon Utah fans will read my post and get their garments in a twist because what I said is true

I’m a Mormon Utah fan. I read your post. What you said isn’t true.

Yeah there were more than a few, and most of them were more than a little ambitious. Seems like there’s some gloryhunting going on against these crap teams we’ve been playing lately. It’s tempting to try to get on SC Top 10 when you’re already up by 35.

He’s 10th in the nation in scoring – I don’t mind him missing a dunk or two if the threes keep dropping. 🙂

It was actually hilarious to see Hunter get the start and lay one of the biggest eggs I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile, Shark comes off the bench and fills up the stat sheet. Exact opposite of the previous game.

Maybe the solution is to have them alternate starts and just expect whichever one comes off the bench to have a great game.

On a slightly different subject, does anyone know how I can recover my hotmail account?

There’s a valuable lesson to be learned here: The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Meh, I appreciate it but it’s OK. I don’t base my self esteem on my utehump vote count. Since I’ve had 2 kids play NCAA sports, my perspective on what college sports are really about is probably different from most peoples’ perspectives. To me, college sports are more about developing student-athletes into adults and teaching them skills that will…[Read more]

If your boss doesn’t think you are worth paying attention to, just stick it out anyway? Come on. You don’t believe that, and you wouldn’t tell your kid that either.

Funny you should mention that. I do have a kid playing an NCAA sport right now (not at Utah), and he’s thinking of transferring. Some issues with the team and with his playing time.…[Read more]

I disagree, but for different reasons that others have given. I simply don’t like the message that the portal sends to these kids: That if you’re not getting what you want, just quit and go somewhere else and keep doing that until you do get what you want. At an impressionable age, we should be trying to teach our young people the opposite.

I think Dawes is simply a freshman who is a victim of the fact that the two centers both returned from injury at the same time.

Thanks for fixing! I updated the original post.

You missed a big one: Marshall’s ENTIRE TEAM entered the portal.

(Site won’t let me post the article link because it says it’s spam)

With this news, how many posters do you think just backed away from the ledge?

Most players don’t want the chance to be the starter – they want to be told they are the starter. That’s the biggest way in which the portal is harming student-athletes.

Why is anyone even surprised? At this point, you have to assume that any player who hasn’t been an everyday starter – on any team – is going to the portal.

There’s only one thing I don’t understand about the Ute fan base: Why are so many of us constantly negative, pessimistic, and depressed? We seem to have a greater percentage of Eeyores than any other fan base I’ve observed. Sometimes I think that if I gave the average Utah fan a suitcase full of money, he would complain that it’s too heavy.
