Thanks for cleaning that up Tony, but you’re on vacation right now. So enjoy yourself, and do it later. You’ve earned it!

Can’t hide from the “numbers” either. Although they’ll try. Over here, they’re consoling themselves by dismissing the veracity of a CNBC reporting showing the value of University of Utah’s athletic department continuing to rank above ybu-p’s.

That sounds like the sort of “small victories” zoob nation is famous for inventing. And similar to zoob nation’s tradition of celebrating premature victories, it’s not necessarily entirely accurate either. Smith could conceivably go on to lead some other weak program, that the tdS might schedule in the preseason as one of their traditional body…[Read more]

I had that very same feeling LAST year. In fact, I’d predicted 2024 was going to be THE year, all the way back in 2022.

And then we lost our QB in ’23 and ’24.

And now, the guy we got coming in for ’25 is a less talented version of the guys we’d had back in ’03, 04, ’08, ’12-’15, ’19, ’21, and ’22.

Just because we got a new guy, that doesn’t…[Read more]

Not a fan of firing a coach “midseason”. Should have waited until after the final buzzer.

Admittedly, I don’t really care too much about basketball (college or NBA), but I liked Krystkowiak, and thought his termination was premature. That said, I believe that there was a cancer in the locker room, and I’m not sure how much he had to do with that. I don’t know if he was personally the primary reason why all those recruits couldn’t…[Read more]

The reason he’s not rated on 247 (or Rivals for that matter) is because he’s primarily a “lacrosse” player. This guy has been committed to Utah for LAX for a couple of years now.

I like his “size”, and “16 sacks” also looks REAL good. And since his scholarship is for lacrosse, I can’t see any downside to him practicing with the team, in hopes…[Read more]

I will.

He is!

Utah doesn’t play Arizona this year.

I hate being in the same conference as ybu-p.

I don’t mind so much reuniting with TCU though.

The Big XII also gave Arizona St and Colorado byes in their games leading up to Utah.

I’m still nonplussed about the Pac-12 imploding, and resulting in our migration to the Big 12 (I would have preferred the ACC), but as far as we’re here…

…I like the flow of this schedule. Here are the reasons why…

1. There are no back-to-back roadies.
It goes without saying that the probability of a “win” decreases the further away…[Read more]

As a follow-up, the Utah Lacrosse team entered the Wk-1 polls ranked 19th.

Ohio St fell out of the polls entirely.

Delaware is still receiving votes.

GO UTES!!!

Cool.

Rivals still has him as a low-rated 3-star DE though.

Don’t change a thing Tony. Your site is perfectly fine the way it is. If someone is asking you to delete his account, let him go. This is your site. Not his. And the rest of us here are all privileged to visit it. This guy sounds high maintenance to me. If he doesn’t want to be a part of UteHub, he can just stop visiting your site. I fail…[Read more]

If Rising wants to go pro, what are his chances? After all, he’d only played sparingly in 3 games over the past 2 years. I would think that with his history of injuries, coupled with not a lot of recent tape on him, he has practically no chance to even pick up a free agent contract. And even with a free agent contract, wouldn’t he be making…[Read more]

“Utah FB Portal/Recruiting News: Utah TE target Broderickr Redden commits to Utah as a PWO. He’ll be a good pass catcher and blocker. Both UNLV and New Mexico were seeking his services, among others.”

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I hadn’t been taking these transfers very well. It feels like after the results of just one year, we’d effectively squandered years of hard work, and strong recruiting, and lost all our momentum. Two years ago, when there was speculation that the BigTen might expand, Utah was sitting pretty high in the catbird…[Read more]

Yeah, the zoobs might have been encouraged by another season-ending injury to Cam Rising, and are believing they’d successfully “wished-it-into-fruition”, and had decided to give it another go by hoping Whittingham elects to step down.

Correct you are chinngiskhaan. Per the rating services, this new QB room is less impressive than the ineffective one we’d just finished with.

At least this guy is north of 200-lbs. Even if just barely. If we’re going to insist on deploying the dual-threat QBs, we’re going to need a durable one who can weather the inevitable hits he’s going to…[Read more]
