The freshman new recruits are the transfers I am “saddest” about: Tabaracci and Peppins.

I was looking forward to watching these guys and to see what they could add. It feels like unrealized potential. But for all the transfers, I appreciate them choosing Utah and understand they make the best decisions for themselves.

I know that Kyle has…[Read more]

Love that! I also liked the commentary of the Oregon leaning broadcasters, on how Oregon defensive backs will have trouble keeping up with him, not to mention linebackers and D-linemen.

My favorite play of the game.

Cope One-handed Catch

A contributing factor in my mind is offensive scheme and spread with run/pass option vs more pro style with play action pass.

When we rely upon the run/pass option, the O-line is trained to not block downfield in order to avoid an illegal man downfield penalty.

In a play action pass offense, the play is called (run or pass) and the O line can…[Read more]

We were in a hotel that wasn’t the OSU team hotel but was one of the OSU travel package hotels. Even with that, our interactions with OSU fans was limited. Those interactions that we did have were pleasant and we spoke mostly about the hotel, logistics and other things. The game didn’t really come up.

They didn’t even really say anything after…[Read more]

I couldn’t like this fast enough!

I agreed with Whitt then and I still do.

Here is the thinking. You go for 2 to try to get the “instant” win and avoid overtime, because you don’t like your chances in overtime. But you also take your chances for an “instant” loss if you don’t get the two.

In this case there was no “instant” win or loss. There were nearly two minutes left…[Read more]

Now just Mbanasor and Lowe left from that list, who both apparently committed just yesterday.

That could be a fun bet, but would not provide the emotional hedge. 😉 I could lose both the bet and the game (Utes). That would be a real bummer. 🙁

Great site. Thanks for creating.

Thanks. I figured so. At least it should match field conditions of RES, so that won’t be a change.

I am thinking of an emotional hedge bet where I bet on Oregon to win. If we win I won’t care about the financial loss and if we lose I have a consolation prize.

In the end, it is entertainment that we have little to no control over (except for the cheering). Would love to finally have a Pac12 Championship in football and go to the Rose bowl.…[Read more]

Bon Jovi – Livin’ on a Prayer was also played last night. We thought that should only be a halftime song with the “halfway there” and all that.

Thanks. I misunderstood the rule thinking that there was a difference between the front palm and back wrist.

The Rule:

Runner Down
• A ball carrier is down when any part of his body, except his hand or
foot, touches the ground (Rule 4-1-3-b).
• The hand/wrist and foot/ankle touching the ground does not put a
runner dow…[Read more]
