LOL…you should have seen his face when I asked him, out loud, on the TRAX, “Why are you always ragging on Utah and calling Whitt Crazy Uncle Kyle?”…it was priceless…

You know, I ran into him on the TRAX on the way to the BYU game at RES and he seemed like a nice guy. I had a 5-10 minute conversation with him and, like all entertainers, he appears to have a public and private persona.

That’s easy…Colorado goes back to the scrub status it had before Sanders showed up. Anyone that thinks it’s a “destination” without his presence is delusional.

I get it…however, in this case, he’s reporting on something that’s getting some traction nationwide. I know because I checked before I made the comment on here. Just Google “Deion Sanders Las Vegas Raiders” and see what you come up with.

Yeah, unfortunately, I’ve come to the decision that I can’t support the team as long as Smith is the Head Coach. There’s too much of a sample size over four seasons to let me know that he’s not the guy and all I’m doing is wasting my time and money supporting this version of the MBB Utes. With some good fortune, this team might win, what 4-5…[Read more]

Did you hear Bill RIley’s interview with Smith last night at Slackwater Pizza? I listened to it on my way to the Jazz game versus the Heat. Put simply, the man’s delusional. If you heard him talk, you’d think that Utah was undefeated and that they actually beat Iowa State. All he did is talk about all of the positive things that happened in…[Read more]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. And, someone needs to explain to me how the current NIL and Portal situation could be worse because it really can’t. So I’m willing to at least give Congress a chance to fix the issue. I mean, we’re literally in a Wild West situation here with no rules, law of the strongest, and anarchy holding sway…[Read more]

I’m taking it that Bajikian is the new OC there? Still, strange, strange move for a kid for California. I’m guessing Beck wasn’t opposed to having him for his veteran leadership but Rose probably read the leaves and figured that the new offense wouldn’t fit his skill set?

Isn’t UMASS one of the worst teams in the FBS?

Rick, thanks for the analysis and insights. Any sports fan could have put two and two together when that hire was consummated so quickly. Too bad about Randy Bennett because that guy’s been a winner at Saint Mary’s forever. He was actually near the top of my list as far as candidates go, with number 1 being the impossible dream of Mark Few

Yeah, me too. I have season tickets and have been to every home game this season. Unfortunately, I see no other way ahead than firing Smith and starting from scratch. Smith’s current tenure is very reminiscent of Krystkowiak’s last couple of seasons though I will say that those teams were much better in terms of actual players. I mean, Coach…[Read more]

I’m not sure I follow your logic. Larry Krystowiak was fired on 16 March 2021, almost immediately after the Utes were eliminated from the PAC tournament by USC on 11 March 2021 and well, well before most teams in need of a HC had even started a search for a replacement. At the time of his dismissal, Krystkowiak was the highest paid coach in the…[Read more]

The Huntsman is fine. The place was like a volcano when BYU showed up last season. The problem is the program’s mediocrity over an extended period of time. I can guarantee you that if we had teams of the same quality as when Majerus was in town, then the arena would be full almost every night. At this stage in American society, you can’t…[Read more]

I thought it was for the quality of food that you got. It surely wasn’t much more, if that, than going out to dinner with the wife.

Well, I went to a football event last year and I liked it. Whitt is obviously a better speaker than Smith and the catered food was pretty good.

Eagle, let me know when you want to go to a game and I’ll give you a ticket so that you can watch up close and personal.

With Larry K, for as much as the program was a dysfunctional dumpster fire by the time he got canned, you at least got better athletes.

I definitely don’t think NIL, or the lack thereof, is the biggest problem. I mean FFS, Utah State routinely puts better teams on the floor with less resources. Utah just has not gotten it right in the HC department since Majerus retired.
