Valpo to MVC after Wichita State leaves for AAC. No word if Holmoe got a courtesy call on either.

Oregon is not real sunny beachy, but they do have tidal pools and such a 4-year old might like.
The OSU aquarium in Newport would also be a fun stop for the kiddo(s), they have touchable sea critters like rays and starfish. Of course the one in Monterey, Calif is top-notch.

Cool idea, I know there are some in Canada.
If only they could collect toll from the Moose.

Just thinking if he goes to the combine he will be sucked in, drafted in the second round somewhere and languish for a few years in the NBA before disappearing. Kyle please stay and be a lottery pick next year!!

PlainsUte started the topic Next up for Utah: Isaac Asiata in the forum Football 7 years, 5 months ago
One pundit (on NFL.com) had him ranked #84 among all draft prospects. That would place him mid 3rd round. Things seem to get a little more random in the later rounds, but would be good to get a 3rd Ute in the Top-3 rounds, in any event.

PlainsUte started the topic Next up for Utah: Marcus Williams in the forum Football 7 years, 5 months ago
So CB/S competing for the next selection: Marcus Williams, Quincy Wilson (CB, Florida), Chidobe Awuzie(CB, Colorado), Josh Jones (S, North Carolina State), Marchus Maye (S, Florida).
Some pundits thought Wilson and Awuzie could go in the first round, but ohfense-heavy first round didn’t yield.
My WAG: Williams goes at overall #45-50. Middle of…[Read more] -
PlainsUte started the topic Just saw Kyle Goon tweet mesg from Andy Katz in the forum Misc 7 years, 5 months ago
First I had heard he was one who was cut. They must be focusing on dual-role people (on-camera and off) but letting really good journalists go… Wow.

PlainsUte replied to the topic Chantel Jennings and Ted Miller dropped by ESPN in the forum Pac-12 7 years, 5 months ago
For the on-air stuff perhaps they’ll have two people at a desk doing “analysis” instead of 3-4, which sometimes was overkill. What might suffer is the online reporting, which is odd because one analysis of what was being done said they were cutting staff to recognize trends in the industry (i.e. more people looking at stuff online, on-demand,…[Read more]

Yeah, should have went with Dodge Ball or Pinochle, instead. 😉
I suppose the other networks, not being exclusively sports, can absorb any short-term losses for sports rights in the name of using sports to promote its other shows. -
PlainsUte started the topic NFL Draft predictions in the forum Football 7 years, 5 months ago
Make your call on
1) First Ute selected
2) First Pac-12 player selected
3) Number of Pac-12 players in first round
4) Number of Utes in first 3 rounds -

Probably also the end of escalation in conference/team TV contracts, though that is still something that will grab a live audience.

PlainsUte replied to the topic Collette to test out the NBA waters, but just a pinkie toe in the forum Basketball (Men) 7 years, 5 months ago
This summer he could work on that 62.5% Free Throw percentage. All he needs is a hoop and a 15 foot stripe.
Jayce Johnson should definitely join him. -

PlainsUte replied to the topic Well it felt like a win… in the forum Football 7 years, 5 months ago
Good point, it was more a matter that the refs let the game go one play too long, than your standard blown call. That said OSU had so many blown opportunities to stop that last play it was laughable. Having a MAC team that close at the end of the game didn’t reflect well on the Cowboys either.
