Honestly…does it matter? The coaches have shown they won’t play him, even a couple plays a game. And he has shown he probably isn’t a long term answer at QB for us. Unless he is willing to switch positions, he won’t be here next fall.

I like the guy and wish him well…but, whether he is with the team or not…it really doesn’t make any…[Read more]

I would like to know what team in the Big 12 is better than Utah.

What team in the Big 12 has won the Big 12 the last two years? What team has been in the title game the last 4 years?

Oh yeah. That team is leaving.

Forgive me if I don’t fear the Big 12. We recruit better than any team. We have been ranked higher consistently than any other…[Read more]

Great article about Utah going into the PAC-12 and any time some dope says that Utah is being rude or looking down on the Big 12, send this article. It does a great job showing why Utah and Utah fans would be so loyal to the PAC-12.

We went from BYU’s little brother to a team that is hardly ever not ranked in the CFP. Now, we aren’t Alabama or…[Read more]

First, Fuck BYU.

Second…Utah’s reputation is fine.

Some Kansas St fans have decided Utah sucks, some BYU fans are stoking the fire and some Utah fans are asshats.

And in 2025 Kansas St will play in SLC and they will be in year 3 of BYU. I think they will think a little differently then. BYU is all nice and humble right now. Give them time.…[Read more]

It’s not a fair comparison.

BUT

Most of the people complaining about “Utah bagging on the Big 12” are teams that will be in the Big 12 next year. And they aren’t that great. They aren’t Texas, Oklahoma, USC, UW, Oregon.

Look, Utah is going from a conference where there was a true blue blood in USC and multiple teams with higher profiles than…[Read more]

Just schedule down. We have a legit shot at the playoffs every year, even if we don’t win the conference. Losing to Florida kills a lot of that. Schedule down. You want your big games in December, not September.

Going along with that, Utah State is an awesome idea. Close, a win, a somewhat interesting game. I like it.

Man, Mokofisi has had a rough year. Let’s hope he improves.

Good old mormon, Republican legislatures using the government to force private citizens doing private transactions to show those transactions to the public in hopes of trying to hurt the University of Utah.

You know…freedom and all that other bullshit.

Yeah, it’s about damn time we are overrated.

This. He did get onto the field for parts of games…but then Julio Jones signed and he’s a PR again.

Maybe he can watch a coach who can actually have an effective offense? No offense to Whitt, but offense ain’t his bag baby.

If you can’t see the value of working with Lincoln Riley for a few years AND coaching in the Big 10, facing Ohio State, Michigan, Penn St, etc…then I don’t know what to tell you.

He’d recruit with other coaches. He’d…[Read more]

I’d be ok if he left. It would only help him get better. Why not go and learn from a guy like Lincoln Riley? And if he’s successful, he will have more connections into recruiting.

We’d hire Jay Hill and our DC would be Hill/Shah. Or Hill/Swan as co-coordinators.

We’d be fine. And if/when Scalley gets the HC job, he’d be a better coach aft…[Read more]

It all depends. We know what Barnes potential is. Maybe Rose/Johnson are at Barnes level yet. But if they will be by next fall, then you keep them. If they won’t be, then keep Barnes.

Does that make sense? I’d keep the higher ceiling guy over Barnes, if they high ceiling guy is improving behind the scenes.

Barnes should be welcome at Utah. Just not on scholarship…unless the season starts and there is an extra one.

We never did. The ball never bounced our way. And the last three games vs them were in Seattle. Never did anything go our way and it always went their way.

Baseball has a stat that finds out how lucky players are. Balls hit that should have been outs but were and the like. I bet if there was a stat of us vs UW, their luck would be through the…[Read more]

Ok…so you can only have 4 scholarship QB’s due to limits. You can’t have a team full of QB’s.

And I don’t know how the coaches feel about Rose/Johnson and their future here at Utah. A part of me thinks that they think Rose is gone because he hasn’t played at all…and we could have desperately used anyone with any pulse at QB. Seems crazy he…[Read more]

I wonder about Pittman. If he wanted to come back, I’d take him back.

Dang. Get better. We need ya.

Yes. This. I’m so tired of playing UW.

I’m ok never playing USC again. We own them and will forever.
I’m glad we get to pay Arizona back next year.

But UW? Those games just suck. From bad calls (no block in the back, roughing the passer on an INT, phantom PI’s, etc) to never having a ball bounce our way (the PAC-12 title game) and so on. They…[Read more]

And this by no means I don’t like Whitt. I love Whitt and want him to coach forever. But you can criticize your leaders and not everyone is perfect and this is a flaw in Whitt’s armor…that and the QB position.
