Interesting path, we’ll see how long he lasts in SEC. A lot of competition, even within the Oklahoma QB room with Jackson Arnold and Hawkins returning, now Niu entering and possibly Mateer from WSU – rumors, only. Not enough snaps for all those guys unless they’re very patient.

If you look at the successful coaches in the FBS they all seemed to have moved up through the ranks staying at the college level having served at low-paying roles as “graduate assistants” and “analysts” to get started rather than getting established in the HS coaching ranks. That said, having a guy who knows Utah HS football from the inside might…[Read more]

Woman who prepares and serves the sideline charcuterie board.
Actually, I always wondered if she was actually 20-something coed but just has a June Cleaver middle-age hairstyle.

Back in those days, watching football was for mainly socializing and not so much to live-or-die by if the U was flashing afterward. Utah was primarily known for basketball.

Second half, TSPP finally figuring out that OSU doesn’t have much of a run defense.

21-14 Pokes at half. OkState already has put up 175 yds rushing on TSPP

Not a fan of GoFundMe, so venmo. I run a group (not sports related) on a system called “groups.io”, they are able to set up fundraisers using Stripe as the payment processor (any Visa or Mastercard). There is a small processing fee on the order of 2-3%. Paypal can probably do the same for you.

Awesome, go Stars!!

Moneyball shows you can make huge strides by using analytics, but in order to reach the pinnacle perfecting technique and intangibles come into play. Beane’s team never won a pennant, let alone a World Series. That’s where coaching and scouting have to identify and curate the “IT” factor that great teams and great players have despite lesser…[Read more]

LoL! Sleeps with the fishes in Lake Mead.

Thanks, Kentucky for knocking off #7, chance for Utah to move up further if they take care of business tonight at RES. GO UTES!!

Yeah, just tuned in, Bowman with a couple good passes but drive stalls. Punt. Checking the box score, OSU still struggling with run game, 87 yards on the ground while their defense has allowed KSU 206. Ollie Gordon is getting his 5 yards per carry, though.

Another news outlet reported that NIL deals can’t be signed until player is at the relevant school (since they are in-state contracts), and promise was made while Sluka was still at Holy Cross finishing his degree. That was the reason the agent said they didn’t have it in writing. After arriving they tried to nail it down but were then being…[Read more]

Great point, LoL. Maybe he was supposed to take the $3k and parley it to $100k on the craps table.

Michael Allen left for playing time/carries issue not NIL. But it does point to a “me first” lockerroom.

Not really sure who is in the right in this one, but just to point out the RB left because he felt he was not getting enough carries (19 carries in 3 games, 108 yds). He received $0 NIL and said he wasn’t promised any.

I know the personnel have changed, but do we have a good breakdown of how the Utes got spanked last year. I know 7 pts were in garbage time when they should have kneeled down for the win — points that won’t be forgotten — but what else needs to be fixed from the Utes last meeting with Aridzona?
