I hate the red/black combo. Aren’t we like winless in it?

I don’t see how imitating a model that works is somehow that bad. Would you have more respect for him if his mantra was “respect the recruiting rating” or “embrace the chaos”, or “the quest for perfection”? Respect the process is a great mantra. If it’s what he has learned, practiced and believes in why should he not use it? He may no be as good a…[Read more]

Depends on the recruit. If you’re a D-lineman can’t imagine not having more WRs and or QBs in the league hurts. If you’re recruiting QBs, and WRs, and RBs I bet our track record isn’t much help and may hurt. I’m not sure how much of that is that we can’t or that volatility at OC and lack of identity have hurts us badly. I tend to think the lack of…[Read more]

24-21 Utah and the outcome is in doubt on the final play of the game. Its just what I’ve come to expect.

looks great. The more time I spend going back and forth between both sites, the more I realize how much I love the threaded view.
Thanks for all your hard work. This place is great.

Can’t wait for Spurrier and then Granny Holtz to show up. In all honesty Spurrier coaching QBs and Erickson coaching RBs would be amazing. Maybe we could put together a consistent passing attack.

Someone jokingly mentioned a crowd-funding campaign. Why not? How long did it take to fund the fieldhouse roof? I hate to go here, but you can only generate so much from the football team with present resources. One obvious place where we could be generating more revenue for the athletic department is… wait for it… stadium expansion. 8,000…[Read more]

I won’t grumble over wins, and I agree a 6 point win against a previously undefeated Cal that is a match-up nightmare for us should be enjoyed.

I did grumble over how we failed to capitalize on the turnovers. I think most folks would say a 6 turnover game with a +3 turnover margin especially where many of them with close proximity to the…[Read more]

I hate AZ’s basketball and football coaches, ASU I only head their football coach. I have no problems with the teams or fanbases yet. I really really want to win those games this year. I would gladly drop both the OSU and UW games to sweep the south this year.

Not looking good. They’re moving way too easily and we are not.

After hearing it my initial thought was right. It doesn’t work as a choral piece. Its a drinking song to be shouted with riotous gusto using steins of lager, big cigars, and fighting for dear old crimson. This will not do.
I love both the U and the LDS church despite it’s short comings, but this will not do at all.

I’m a both man. When I arrived on campus both were still in use. I wasn’t terribly fond of interlocking U’s as an 18 year old, but since D&F and single Block U have come to dominate. I think interlocking has a place and I hope we find a way to use all 3 or drop the single block U. The single block U has been way less cool since ESPN U…[Read more]

I’m LDS and I don’t like it. I don’t see how Utah Man lends itself to MoTab style. If they do it well then I’ll be ambivalent. Part of me likes it because it will piss of BYU-P.

I have long insisted that life is too short not to live in Southern California, but that far too many people have figured this out and therefore I can’t follow through because I hate crowds and traffic and people. Don’t mind visiting though.

Pulling Sumlin out of aTm would be an epic move. I would love to see that happen just for the sheer drama it would make, but don’t see it happening.

I must be googling all the wrong stuff. I’ve only seen adds for crap I’ve shopped for on Amazon in the past month.

If/when people come Whitt will leverage it for more for himself and/or assistants. A negotiation will ensue it will be icy but professional. The media will blow it out of proportion and fans will go nuts. Once everything is at maximal frenzy a simple press release will outline the new deal followed by a formal press conference a few days later.…[Read more]

I was working on some rules I was going to adopt. Then it got too complicated.
TLDR version:
My rooting order based on results so far goes: Utah >>>>> Stanford > [O, Cal, UW, and OSU in no clear order yet] > USC > ASU > UCLA > UA > CU > WSU

I got there by asking this question
Is it better to have played in and won a clearly dominant south…[Read more]
