      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 seat for consideration. But now, with the reemergence of Colorado, coupled with their weekly dominant viewership ratings, I feel like if the BigTen opted to raid the Big XII today, they’re only taking the Buffaloes. A powerhouse “Utah” program can weather CU’s superior Nielson ratings, but we stand no chance when they’re dominating both key metrics. At this point, all we’ve got going for us is our AAU status, but now Arizona St has that too. And look where THEY’RE at right now! They have one of the largest alumni associations in the country, and they’re already a Top-4 seed in the CFP.

      Please assure us that the past 2-yrs some anomalous hiccup, and that we’ll be back to our late “Pac-12” form, annually challenging for a conference title, and beating the Buffs & Devils!

      Did he all of a sudden just change his mind? The DNews reported a couple of days ago that he’d already committed to return in 2025. In fact, as of right now, they’re still reporting this.

      I predict that a committee to shoehorn Alabama into the CFP will convene first thing in the morning.

      Barton returning would be huge. But I would think he’d consider entering the NFL draft. He’s got the talent to go early.

      Dampier is an INT machine. So I’m not sold on him either.

      I’ll take that RB though!

      I was only going to give it a “2”, but OnlyU talked him up enough for me give him a “3”.

      Meh.

      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 take.

      Personally, I prefer the pro-style, drop back passers. If you’re playing from behind, these are the guys that are more apt at getting us back into the game.

      Correct you are chinngiskhaan. It’s been a trend for years for cougar fans to label opposing teams after their game. And it always goes the same. Their opponents are always “welcoming” and/or “classy” after games where the zoobs win, and always “vulgar” and/or “classless”, “anti-Mormon”, “drunken sots”, “foul-mouthed” et al after a loss.
