The curtains is a chicken and egg problem. Nobody comes because the team isn’t good. The team isn’t good because we don’t recruit well, and we don’t recruit well because nobody comes. Who will break this chicken and egg cycle first? Will the team somehow get good and then people will return? Or will people return and then recruiting will pick up…[Read more]

Based on the body of work so far, I’d say he’s right. This is definitely a better team than last year. The question is how much did the rest of the conference improve?

cj I agree with you 100%. Schedule the best “A” games you can get for OOC.

However, I think Utah could have been smarter with the schedule and still get the “A” games in. Namely, don’t have your “A” game be the first game of the year. Too many weird things can happen in the first game. I would like to see Utah schedule a bodybag game for game 1,…[Read more]

I was thinking that same thing when it happened. Nothing says bad coaching like “we need 2 yards on this play, so let’s go for 40.”

Meh. Just kids being kids and looking for any kind of win in a season where there’s been very little of that. Most of those guys are going to end up in the transfer portal anyway.

I don’t know why I watch PAC12 After Dark (TM). But now I own an antimicrobial shower head, a precision ball hair trimmer, and a set of Shake Weights.

Morning welfare check. Are you alive and whole, OP?

Update: I have my ticket…please disregard this post. Looking forward to breaking bread with all of you on Saturday!

Thanks, let me know. You seem not-too-dodgy to me. 😉

I’ve been supremely confident that we would get a win in every game this year except UCLA. But I am absolutely not confident in this one. The way U of Pay plays is not a good matchup for us.

Aah, my bad. Brett Elliott, not Brett Ratliff. Thanks for the correction.

Oddly enough…

…my most memorable play was when QB Brett Ratliff failed on the 2-point conversion at the end of the game against Texas A&M in 2003. We lost the game and Ratliff broke his wrist on the play.

Why is that play so memorable for me? Because the next game he was replaced by a little-known backup named Alex Smith. The rest is…[Read more]

Disclaimer: I’m speculating right now.

The position he was holding his arm in and the way he supported his elbow with the other hand is a telltale sign of a collarbone injury. When he first hurt it on that hard impact with the ground, my assumption was broken collarbone. But when he went back in and scored right after, that pretty much ruled out…[Read more]

I’m not your therapist, but since you appear to be looking for help…

I want to focus on this statement:

Like most of you, I’m far too invested in our players, coaches, the whole program and university in general. That in itself is not a problem.

Yes, it is a problem.

The players and coaches are not your friends. They are not your family. The f…[Read more]

My tickets showed up the other day. No idea if we’ll be good, but I expect we’ll be entertaining. I’ll be there to watch (almost) every game. LFG!

For some reason, I was 100% confident we would make the 2. Like, there was no doubt in my mind at all.

See my original post. Was I in any way unclear about what my point was?
1. We know how to recruit linebackers, and Lloyd proves it.
2. Replacing the best linebacker in program history isn’t easy.

Hey, it looks like we just won. Pull that stick out of your ass and enjoy it!
