Great leaders always have a succession plan for every one of their employees, so you have something ready to go whenever any one of them leaves. Looks like Whit’s got his. 

The timing of this is fascinating. They announced the hire before the ink on GA’s contract was dry. That tells me Whit knew GA was leaving a long time ago. 

The big loser in all this is BYU-P. Their already sparse recruiting pool will get even more sparse.

It’s like that all around the country, honestly. Football has relegated basketball firmly to second tier status. And honestly I’m not sure why this is: Basketball has a lot less injuries, a lot less dumb rules (and dumb refs interpreting those rules), a lot less off-court issues, etc. 
AndI don’t buy the excuse that basketball attendance would be…[Read more]

BYU-P can’t fall to third in the state. They’re currently fourth. Third would be an improvement. 

Luckily, half the time, BYU-P’s team can’t find their ass with both hands. Like, way worse than Utah. And they’re due for a bad one. 

If you want some free, unsolicited advice: The downvote hill is not one worth dying on. 

“Probation for Oregon” means “Lewis & Clark University gets the death penalty.”

Dude, who in college hoops didn’t play for Utah at some point? 😉

No, we’re horny. It’s different. 

Old school stereotypes of the LDS Church reflecting on Utah as a state. 
In this age of enlightenment and easy access to knowledge, (for example) there are still people in America who honestly believe Mormons have horns. Until that kind of thinking goes away, there will always be a perception problem. 

Spurs nation calling for Poeltl to be the starting center on social media and radio. Raptors fans responding with “why’s it taking you so long to realize that?”
Lots of love for Poeltl around the association right now! 

I’ve decided that there’s no such thing as an easy schedule in the PAC12. There will be teams we’re overlooking right now that will overachieve and become difficult games. 
Take ASU or WSU this year. Before the season, not a single one of us thought those games would give us any trouble, but both teams turned out to be pretty good and we lost both…[Read more]

I’m still shaking my head. Bronco was the second-best coach they’ve ever had and ran a pretty clean ship off the field…and the fans ran him out of town on a rail.
They deserve whatever failure they achieve because of that one simple act. 

Harlan was on Bill Reilly earlier today practically begging Utah fans to buy through the school. When 700 posted it on Twitter, every single response was basically “why would I do that when I can get better seats at a better price elsewhere?”
So this is just Harlan trying to sweeten the deal. Really the issue lies with the way tickets are for bowl…[Read more]

I would just wait for someone to turn up pregnant or in a fight at a sub sandwich place and let it hit the media. More fun that way. 

No, they’re doing it because they’ve realized that you can get better tickets cheaper through a third party. Unfortunately the sales number they use to tell the bowl folks “see… told you we would travel well” is how many tickets are sold through the U ticket office. 
This is simply the U’s way of convincing us to buy through the U ticket office…[Read more]

Ken what’s-his-face declined because Holmoe insisted that Detmer be the OC. He knew that the Detmer experiment would end in disaster because he’s a smart guy and a good football coach. 
Holmoe is the gift that keeps on giving. 

Two words: Population density. 

I did my collarbone about 10 years ago. Couldn’t have surgery because of the location of the break. It was 2 months before there was good union, 6 months before it felt “right”, and a year before I regained full range of motion.
I hear that timetable is reduced if you have surgery. Anyone know if he had surgery?
