Probably just because it is a small operation running on Shopify. I have never ordered from there (I just learned about it here, today) so I can’t vouch for the business or the product. However, some of it looks pretty nice.

Is this the same ‘Pig Bus’ that I’ve heard about giving Ute fans a horrible reputation on Twitter?

Agreed. I want some new Utah gear but I haven’t seen anything I like; is has been this way for a while.

I don’t have anything against Under Armor as a brand; however, I have never really been much of a fan of their designs.

Trick plays can be fun; however, they can be a bit risky since you likely don’t practice them as much.

I assume the offense will start out like it usually does; too many three-and-outs, a bit of sloppiness, and some obvious mistakes. I am hoping the run game is solid and will carry us through.

I guess I am drinking the Kool-Aid on the defense and think they will play pretty well. I assume we will give up some big pass plays, since that seems to…[Read more]

Aren’t beignets and funnel cakes completely different things? This is the first time I remember hearing about ‘beignets’ and I don’t recall ever trying either, so take my question with a grain of salt (or sugar).

As much as I detest the school down south, there are admittedly some decent people that make it out of there…

Personally, I hope they don’t play Cam if he is only ‘75%’.

If you are playing hobbled, you tend to compensate with unnatural movements and decisions that open you up to mistakes and injury.

Don’t play him until he is closer to ‘100%’ and in game ready form.

I think it is mostly because people were talking up the team and Rising’s recovery all summer. Now that the games are closer, we are realizing that people were probably being overly optimistic.

Add to that our rough schedule and things may not turn out as well as some fans think they will.

Or… Utah will go undefeated 😉.

I think people inside and outside the program were too optimistic about Rising and Kuithe. Didn’t Covey require almost 2 years before he was fully ready to go after his ACL injury?

Not all injuries (even of the same type) are equal and different people heal at different rates.

As bearish as I have been about Utah’s quarterback situation, I too feel like this game is winnable.

However, I have noticed that my feelings don’t seem to affect the outcome of football games… 😉
That is probably a good thing, because I don’t feel too confident about many of the road games this year…

5 takeaways from the preseason AP Poll

So you put it together yourself? Nice!

I assumed you copied it from somewhere. I noticed all the HTML tags when you first posted it.

What is the source of this information? Very nice, thanks!

Yeah, you’re probably right. It is difficult to compare since teams all play different schedules/opponents.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about Utah quarterbacks.

I spent some time trying to come up with an example and couldn’t. Perhaps I am completely wrong and this has nothing to do with ‘development’. Maybe college quarterbacks just are what they are and don’t get better. They just get varying degrees of opportunity to show what they can do.

I…[Read more]

Yeah, I guess I can’t argue with the numbers.

Fair enough.

If it is a problem at every school in the country, then it is also a problem at Utah. Which… is kind of my point.

However, I don’t necessarily agree that it is a problem at every school in the country. I might agree with Texas, since they just recruit top guys instead of developing them. As much as I hate to admit it, our…[Read more]

Uh, no?

I think I already answered that with “Neither of us can provide information that disproves the other.”

“Neither of us” includes me.

Fair enough. However, most of your arguments could be used against your position as well as mine.

I suppose talking about QB development at Utah is a little like talking religion and politics; you have your opinion and I have mine. Neither of us can provide information that disproves the other.

For now, I maintain that Utah (and more…[Read more]

Honestly, I respectfully disagree with you on Cam Rising and Tyler Huntley.

Cam Rising has been consistent. He started out good and he continues to be largely the same quarterback he has always been for Utah. I don’t see how I could make an honest argument that Utah has ‘developed’ Cam Rising any more than Cam Rising has ‘developed’ himself. I…[Read more]
