HoosierUte

Opened at osu -7 last night and has moved to -6.5, which means the early money came in on the Utah side. I would have thought the line would have been close to 10, but I didn’t follow osu super close. 

Out of state Ute here, I know essentially nothing about Weber States football program other than they lost in the first round of the FCS playoffs last year. What are they good at? Any player or matchup that might be somewhat interesting? 

This one has me confused. I was under the impression that Baylor and TCU would be non-starters due to the research requirements (and being religious schools). Would be interesting to see if the Pac would skip the rules to gain a major foothold in Texas though. This possibility also raises the question of who would be the 4th team to make it 16?

Streaming The Zone for the first time in a decade hoping to get some Jazz pregame analysis. This stuff is turrible. You would barely know a game was happening tonight, its mostly erectile disfunction ads and call-ins from the doctor every 15 minutes. When not discussing penis issues it’s either random banter non-sports related or other ads. I…[Read more]

Looks like he was hit by a car while cycling in St. George. Happened 2 months ago but it’s been kept quiet until going public today. Scary stuff, I have had a few close calls while out on the bike. Watch out for cyclists everybody. 

Our 2 losses are to the presumptive north/south champs for what its worth. 
Tough to feel bad for Oregon, they should have won games, Colorado on the other hand is getting screwed if they beat us. 

It would be nice if the p12 threw out the north v south component of the non-championship games. This would be a great time to reschedule the Apple Cup and other divisional games that were canceled. I know I would much rather play AZ or UCLA over Wazzu or Cal.

I think the spring option may preclude certain members from trying to break off to join SEC/B12 fall football. 

I was really hoping for a playoff but you can’t be mad about the drive that kid hit on 16. Holy smokes. I had Finau +5000 early in the week so I was on the edge of my seat all afternoon. He is gonna get one sooner or later.

ACC announced their plans, including ND. Stands to reason that the Big 12 will follow shortly.

The focus of the discussion is the safe return to sport, guests include Larry Scott, Brian Hainline (NCAA Chief medical officer), and US Open Tennis representative. Should be interesting in view of the USC announcement today. 

3* WR out of Texas, offers from Arizon, Boise State, Duke, Houston, Kansas, K STate, T Tech. Seems like a good pickup.

Take it for what its worth, but living in Indianapolis I have a couple of friends who work at the NCAA. They have both told me that moving fall sports to the spring is “off the table.” Not sure what the rationale is, but there you have it. Both are also confident that football will happen in some form, too many universities have too much on the…[Read more]

He is listed 9th on a list of 9 contenders, but hey its something. Probably too little too late but I think he deserves at least the recognition as a candidate and an invite to the ceremony.

I am not sure why I like this as much as I do. It is 100% meaningless. With the P12 down to only 3 landholders, this is our chance to take back most of Utah. 

34th or so, honestly I am surprised but it is WAY early still low expectations for this year. 

Are we going to see those silver helmets this game?

Pretty sure that means we are done with these guys, they got nothing left. Let’s get some life back on the schedule!
