From what I’m hearing today, it sounds like Zack Wilson is the biggest cougar fan out there. And I’m not talking about schools, if you know what I mean.

It’s ironic to see BYU-Provo Campus fans enjoying the moment. Nothing like watching the suffering of others to take your mind off your own suffering.

Let’s not forget that, when the dust settles from this realignment, that BYU-Provo Campus is still in a dying conference. This move the B1G made has moved their own conference down a notch. They…[Read more]

I want to agree with what you’re saying, but I just can’t. Winning football games doesn’t matter nearly as much as you think it does. It is 100% about money, specifically how many television sets your school brings.

Higher education is in a world of hurt right now. The financial model has failed and is at a breaking point. Costs are skyrocketing…[Read more]

No we couldn’t. We produce too much published research and too few underage marriages.

Question: Are you purposely gunning for as many thumbs down as you can get? Are we trapped in some weird social experiment here?

Both reporters are correct. Utah is having talks with the Big 12 today, and Utah is also denying having talks with the Big 12 today.

And Utah is absolutely playing it smart with the doubletalk. They need to keep both parties on the line until the best situation presents itself.

Another big-time recruit who is obviously not worried about which conference Utah ends up in. That should give us fans a measure of peace.

Make no mistake: The Big 12 would only be serving as our life raft until an eventual B1G invite.

It’s all being driven behind the scenes by France.

Also, in the last 2 days Utah has gotten two significant commits – one each from Florida and Texas. Would that have happened if there wasn’t good news coming down the line? I guarantee that conference affiliation was the first question the coaches have gotten the last couple of days. Apparently their answers are satisfactory.

Utah just went to the Rose Bowl and is a likely top 10 team this coming year. There is no way a team on that kind of run is going to find itself without a chair when the music stops. We’re also an AAU school, which matters more than anyone thinks.

Also, the position of AD is in very good hands. Harlan is a very good salesman, and this is a sales…[Read more]

Perhaps not. Sideline Sports is citing sources that Utah is a top Big 10 candidate.

Sources say leading candidates for admission to B1G include Colorado, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Arizona.

Research focus and AAU membership make joining the Big 12 unlikely. We are not going to join a conference with a bunch of truck driving schools period. The Board of Regents simply won’t allow it.

Not a chance. The PAC12 will poach 4 teams from the Big 12, effectively killing that conference.

Utah makes so much money off the PAC12’s research connections that we will never leave a research-based conference, and BYU-Provo Campus will never be allowed into a research-based conference, so….

I get it that most people here are pretty much Utah football and basketball fans only. I get it that those of us who like Olympics sports just as much as the “big 2” are the minority.

My only suggestions would be to either hide all categories besides football and basketball, or simply make more football and basketball posts so that there’s more…[Read more]

When I was young, I remember asking my mom why certain people – and certain families – have to deal with so much adversity. She said “because they’re the ones God built to be able to handle it.” Alex Smith is definitely one of those people.

Prayers up for the whole Smith family…

I would have thought that too, but the data I found didn’t support that. See the link I posted above.

No, taking the ball first is not guaranteed to give you more possessions. Why? Because possession after halftime is not dependent on who had the ball at the end of the first half. It doesn’t alternate. You (or your opponent) can have the ball at the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second half.

Think of it this way: From a…[Read more]

Assuming Whit’s grandkids inherited his calves, can we offer them football scholarships right now?

College football is recession-proof. Economic conditions won’t mean dick when it comes to NIL deals.
