9-4 UCLA who was ranked #9 after beating us? Yeah. They were better than Oklahoma State.

And Florida…they had Anthony Richardson, who better than any player Oklahoma State has, they recruit much better than Oklahoma State does, they play in a much tougher than Oklahoma State was, it was the first game of the year and we were in the road.

So, y…[Read more]

Man, if they are 4-5 round picks…they could have made more money at Utah and had more chances to be drafted higher.

Ohio State, Oregon State, Utah, Florida State, Utah, Oklahoma.

But yeah. You hold onto Arizona. Where are your dozens of examples from this last year?

Playing Utah State in Logan is not a road trip.

The amount of disrespect this Utah team is getting boggles me.

I’m excited for this fall. The Big 12 is going to learn the hard way not to disrespect Whitt.

And if they want to know what that’s like, they can go ask Joe Glenn.

Every team out there is screwed if their QB goes down. Go look at this last bowl season.

Totally agree. What Big 12 team has done better than Utah the last 5 non COVID seasons?

And Utah’s “down” year was rife with injuries.

And everyone’s beloved Oklahoma State? They went 10-4 last year. One less loss than Utah at 8-5.

And Utah had their 3/44th string QB the whole freaking year.

The way people are down playing Utah…we…[Read more]

I’m not sure their QB and WR will even be there. Sure, they said they would come back. Let’s see how they feel after spring ball.

Let’s see if they still like Arizona and the new coaches.

Someone will lose a QB and will toss big time cash at them.

Have you seen their schedules? Kansas doesn’t play anyone. Maybe everyone’s schedule just sucks. The Big 12 sucks.

We have one of the harder schedules in the Big 12. Kansas and UCF’s are absolutely pathetic.

Totally agreed. It was so easy to go to road games in the PAC-12. Everyone was so close.

@Oklahoma State – no thanks.
@Houston – eh
@UCF – Ok Disney World is there…oh, you put it the weekend of Thanksgiving when Disney is packed? No thanks.

Bleh.

Our best home games are TCU or BYU…back to the MWC we go…

Holy Shit. UCF’s schedule is so easy. Ours isn’t that hard, but theirs is a cake walk. They get BYU and us and Colorado at home. No Oklahoma State…and everyone else kinda sucks in the Big 12.

They should be in the conference finals.

This is Whitt’s Achilles Heel. He can’t recruit HS QB’s. I don’t know what it is. If he can’t get them interested in Utah’s scheme or what. But outside of Huntley, he’s been terrible.

He can get solid transfer QB’s, and I guess that is where he needs to butter his bread (which he has done). The problem with this route, is you can never get a HS…[Read more]

Ha ha. I don’t think that’s what I’m saying…I’m just saying it was more important to keep Rising than to win 10 games with a transfer QB and have Rising leave.

But damn, we should have beaten Northwestern and ended up with 9 wins and ranked. Shit.

Last year was…messed up. The injuries, Rising, etc. Whitt was in a tough place, because if you can hold onto Rising…2024 your schedule is exponentially easier. Your toughest game is versus Oklahoma State and they lost to a Sun Belt team last year. There is no Oregon, Washington, USC on the schedule.

With Rising you are favored to win the…[Read more]

I don’t think Petersen comes back to college football. That being said, when Whitt retires, Petersen should be our first call.

I’d take him over Scalley. I don’t care how loyal Scalley has been. If Petersen isn’t interested, then I’m ok with Scalley.

But we are the perfect program for Petersen. If he was to return anywhere, we would be the…[Read more]

My counter argument would be this: Look at Whitt’s recruiting at Utah: It is amazing for Utah, but it sucks for Michigan.

I’ve always said if USC hired Whitt, he would replicate Pete Carroll’s success. They are the same coach. Whitt would thrive in Michigan. When Rising was not hurt, he took it to Ohio State and Penn St. Hell, even without…[Read more]

Rivals: BYU, Arizona, ASU. You’d think Colorado would be here as well…but they suck. They went 1-8 in the PAC-12 last year. They will be better this year because the Big 12 is a worse conference, but not that much better. They might get to 6 wins, Sanders will go pro and I bet Deion bails and Colorao goes back to sucking. If we haven’t created a…[Read more]

There is a less than 1% chance he is back. He and Sirianni were absolutely awful last year.

Fucking fantastic game.
