After seeing how unpopular my thinking was before, I just want to clarify that I was misunderstood.  I had said:
“The problem with the thumbs up and down is that it reduces the likelihood that people will post.  If you compare Utehub to Cougarboard, Cougarboard is more interesting because there is more posting/ more user content.”

The problem with the thumbs up and down is that it reduces the likelihood that people will post.  If you compare Utehub to Cougarboard, Cougarboard is more interesting because there is more posting/ more user content.  I believe the posting occurs at a higher rate because feedback is not given with thumbs up/ thumbs down.  Consider it.  
Thanks…[Read more]

Is big news since UW was the biggest risk to Troy Taylor leaving.

I am a Taylor big supporter.  Stability under Taylor will be an amazing thing for Utah.  I hope (and believe) that this means he is at Utah for longer…..

Is that he is not going to fire Taylor and a solid OC with stability to build a system and recruit to the system can be the missing piece.  The defense is generally solid, the offense can be likewise.  …. this could improve the recruiting game which is generally on the rise anyway.
I.e., past performance (which is solid btw not counting this…[Read more]

Very helpful post, (thank you) I think that things are different at the U now.  Wittingham’s greatest and perhaps least appreciated virtue is that he is NOT content with just being OK.  He is always trying to be great.  He fires when it doesn’t build towards winning.  He is willing to take the big risk.  That is why…[Read more]

This is his FIRST year to install an very new offense.  Taylor’s past experience is very positive.  Our passing game with Huntely IS doing very well.  AND our running game’s challenges are largely not his fault — new offensive line, missing our first string running back.  Let it breathe and play out.  One year of rebuilding is not so much to ask…[Read more]

Part of what happened is Huntley seemed tentative.  Understandable given that he just came back from an injury.  Was it just me or did it seem like he had LOTS of room to run, but didn’t run.  The dual-threa quarterback must keep the defense honest by damaging with occassional run.  This didn’t happen.  Rather than think the sky is falling, this…[Read more]

Kylie Fitts update anyone?

The Huntley family surely/hopefully has evacuated their home (presumably in Broward County where Hallandale High is..).  I hope everyone is safe.

Scout lists him as 3-star out of Washington.  Good looking tape — seems speedy for his size.  Looks good!

3-star out of San Diego

There  is something in common across Utah Football, Basketball, and the Utah Jazz.  a historical laser focus on great defense.  Is that a coincidence or something more?  Why is it happening?
