RedRocks replied to the topic Barnes is undefeated in the 1 game he’s started. in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

Honestly, I hope Barnes comes out and proves everyone wrong. I hope he plays so well that we have a starting quarterback controversy. He is a local guy and I wish him nothing but the best.

Obviously this won’t happen because this is Utah (we don’t develop QB’s), but one can dream.

RedRocks replied to the topic Future OOC scheduling in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

My personal preferences would be in the order below, with the idea that California games would be useful for recruiting. If they are not, delete the California Teams.

California Teams > Original Pac-12 Teams > B1G & SEC Teams > Regional Match-Ups (like Boise State, Utah State)

RedRocks replied to the topic Wow Just Wow in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 3 months ago

Well, yeah. Saying “this was clearly a strategic error” is 100% benefiting from hindsight. Had they accepted the offer, we would not be saying that the Pac-12 would be dead otherwise.

I am not disagreeing that it was an error (in hindsight). The Pac-12’s university and conference leaders made many mistakes. The TV deal was just one.

RedRocks replied to the topic Wow Just Wow in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 3 months ago

This. Had the Pac-12 accepted the offer, the very same people complaining that they didn’t accept the offer would be complaining that they accepted the offer.

Make no mistake, many errors were made that led to the demise of the Pac-12.

RedRocks replied to the topic Top three most underrated teams in the coaches poll in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 3 months ago

I am actually not feeling particularly confident about our QB situation, which actually casts a lot of doubt on the season (at least to start). The Utah coaches always seem to struggle with quarterbacks, whether it be naming the correct starter/backup coming out of fall camp or developing them as the years progress.

RedRocks replied to the topic Next move for Big XII to keep up with SEC/BIG in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

This is dumb.

Don’t forget that we were once in their shoes and, for all we know, could find ourselves out in the cold again someday.

The only thing I wish we could be rid of right now are all these stupid comments from some of our fans.

An ESPN article about hardest/easiest schedules for the upcoming season: ESPN-Hardest-Easiest

Utah is repeatedly mentioned throughout the article. Great to see Utah respected as a formidable opponent, with their own challenging slate of games to deal with.

Outside of UteHub (of course), are there any good Reddit/Twitter alternatives for pointlessly up to date college football news (not just Utah)?

Since both of those platforms seem intent on self-destruction, I have been open to finding something new.

I see you are still missing my point. Oh, well. Have a nice day.

RedRocks started the topic Preferred Start Times in the forum Football 2 years, 1 month ago

With the variety of game start times we have been seeing, I was curious to know the preferred start times for my fellow Utah fans.
I personally prefer the games to start in the 5-6pm time window. Games that start earlier wipe out my Saturday productivity. Games that start later keep me up too late.
What about yours?

I find the local message board about-face on the O-Line quite entertaining.

RedRocks started the topic Starters/Coaching Challenges in the forum Football 3 years, 2 months ago

All this talk about the starting QB announcement got me thinking about the process in general. It must be very difficult to build a relationship with all these young athletes and then be forced to deliver difficult news to so many.
You build up their confidence during recruiting and training, making them feel like an important part of the team. …[Read more]
