Pace, is that you?

ESPN just reporting that Rising will be eligible to play in the bowl game.

Can someone tell me how that works?

Pace needs to get Zack on the phone right away and let him know he should sit out because he has nothing to play for. <eyeroll>

Can’t believe there are that many bowls. Some people want a 16 team playoff?

So we spend 8 months out of the year pining for more football, wishing there was more football, complaining that there’s not enough football…and then when someone proposes a plan that would create more football, we say that it’s a bad idea. Good hell. SMH.

I guarantee the seniors do not want to end their college careers with a loss.

It does hurt, but the beauty of playing the long game is in the realization that there will be other, even more talented teams in Utah’s future.

This may have been the best team we’ve had to date, but I guarantee there will be even better teams coming.

Thank you – I feel that average stars is more relevant when comparing recruiting classes. Schools that have smaller classes get punished in the traditional “total stars” way of comparing. The truth is, it’s probably better if a school has small classes – that means you’re likely losing fewer players due to transferring, academic issues, and…[Read more]

Interesting stat about this year’s Heisman. The 3 QB finalists are all transfers. This is the nature of the recruiting/retention game nowadays.

Hence the reason I say that having coaches who can successfully recruit in the transfer portal is at least as critical as being able to recruit freshmen and Jucos.

Pace says I’m wrong about this, w…[Read more]

If we don’t owe them our attendance, they don’t owe us an appearance. If we won’t sacrifice our time and money, why should they sacrifice their bodies?

You shouldn’t have posted this. Once KSL/Deseret News get hold of this information, they’ll use it to show why Utah has no chance of winning the game.

That’s great news about Brumfeld. Great news.

USC does not have one of the nation’s best QBs.

Question: Why is the bowl game “meaningless”? How is its meaning any different from any other non-CFP bowl game?

I played a college sport. When you’re a young man (or woman) representing your school at the NCAA level, every game is meaningful.

Traffic shouldn’t be too bad. Give yourself 5 extra minutes.

I normally wouldn’t divulge my secret parking spot, but nobody goes to basketball games anyway, so I’ll share it: I always park in Fort Douglas, on the east side of the pedestrian bridge. Easy in and out, and a surprisingly short walk to the Hunty.

Be prepared for basic arena…[Read more]

I’ll be there. I owe this team at least that much.

It hurts today, but we’re still going to be a top-20 team and end up with a top-20 opponent in the bowl game. Most years we’d call that a rousing success. It just doesn’t feel that way right now because we backed into it.

I have hope that it will be improving soon. For all my fellow pilots out there, here’s the latest METAR for KSFO:

KSFO 061856Z 10012KT 10SM SCT039 16/11 A3000 RMK AO2 SLP159 T01560106

That’s over 800 foot ceiling and over 2 miles viz, which means ILS critical restrictions should be lifted soon? Maybe someone with an IFR rating can correct…[Read more]

I’m optimistic because Utah is just a hair better than Oregon in every phase of the game.
I’m optimistic because I think Utah has better coaching.
I’m optimistic because I think the weather plays into Utah’s hands.
I’m optimistic because of our senior leadership.

Once the Utah fans go quiet on those fans, it will all just fade away and be wonderful.

Sorry, I just can’t bring myself to believe that will ever happen. BYU-Provo is like the neighbor’s little dog that escaped from the yard. It comes up to you and barks and nips at your calf, so you ignore it and try to walk away, but it just keeps following you…[Read more]

Then again, they’re not outsourcing psychology jobs to India.
