I had a professor at the U who gave notoriously hard exams. If you scored in the 40% range, you were pretty happy. Highest score in the class was usually around 60-70%. Of course grades were curved – we didn’t all fail the class.

After I graduated, I asked that professor why his tests were so hard. He said because he needed to create separation…[Read more]

They say the key to keeping a scam going is to not get close to anyone who can expose it as a scam. BYU-Provo Campus knows this all too well.

Best part is how they’re lying about why they said no. They’re blaming the PAC12 COVID requirements. But if that were the case, they wouldn’t be waiting to give a final answer until after the CFP rankings come out. No, this is about following the 1984 cupcake model.

I’ve never watched a Utah game where I didn’t already know the outcome.

Probably my best memory of getting a Utah score from a game I didn’t watch was the 2003 football game against BYU-Provo Campus. My wife and I were on vacation in Argentina at the time, and due to the time difference, we went to bed before the game even kicked off. So we got…[Read more]

No. I hate them and I hate the game. No more, ever again, any sport, ever.

No. I hate BYU-Provo Campus and I hate doing them favors. I never want to play them again, in any sport, ever. If Utah was the on the cusp of a national championship, and the only thing that stood in our way was playing the intramural football team from Helaman Halls, I still would not want to play.

As long as our athletic director makes choices that benefit BYU and the legislature

Whoa whoa whoa…pump the brakes there for a minute.

I need to set the record straight, and I’ll do it as plainly as I can: The U is being held hostage by the legislature. It’s straight up extortion. The last time the U threatened to not schedule BYU-Provo Campus,…[Read more]

I haven’t lost my mom. I’m just thinking outside my immediate circle and empathizing with others. Something that some people struggle to do.

It’s small until it’s your mom…then it’s huge.

Sorry but I think you’re making a lot of assumptions with no data. COVID is not easy to manage – if it were, everyone would be managing it better. There is no perfect way to fight a virus. It’s all based on probabilities. Mask wearing, social distancing, washing hands, and vaccines all decrease the probability of spreading it, but there are no…[Read more]

Just go back to the original plan: No fall season, PAC12 plays abbreviated season in the spring.

If we’re only going to play football when we’re at “full strength”, we’re never going to play another game of football again. Someone is always sick or hurt.

I’d rather play. If we look terrible, so be it. Is looking good now a requisite for playing football? What if we have a year in the future when we’re just not very good – nothing to do with the virus – should we just cancel the season?

In honor of the late Alex Trebek…

What is, the sickest logo in all of pro sports, Alex?

Per the AD’s office, none of the players who were in contact with the infected players have tested positive. So as of now, the game is a go. Let’s hope it stays that way.

I’m going to need a “why” to back up that assertion.

Most businesses in this world – even the most poorly-run ones – understand that it’s not a good idea to willfully take away your only source of revenue.

So much for the fool proof P12 testing program.

Actually it’s precisely because of the foolproof P12 testing program that we’re not playing this weekend. But I agree – the lies of omission coming out of BYU-Provo Campus are certainly frustrating as someone who wants to watch my team play.

All of us are going to get COVID eventually if we haven’t already

Depending on the arrival of a vaccine, not necessarily.

Rather than resigning ourselves to getting this, our attitude need to be to try to not get it. Especially because there’s a high probability of permanent neurological or cardiological damage.

IMO the impact of precip on football at the college or pro levels is way, way overstated. So, no advantage to anyone. Luckily Utah won’t need that advantage to beat what will be a very overmatched UA team.
