I’d play in the bowl game if I were him. He is either going to a G5 level program (and yes, BYU is a G5 level program) to fight for a starting spot on a probably not bowl eligible team or going the FCS route.

This will most likely be his last bowl game. Might as well play in it. He’s not going pro. Take every experience you can. If he has a…[Read more]

You know how you have that athlete on your favorite team…say someone like Gobert or AK47…and they come up for contract negotiations and you find out that they will cost you a ton. So, what do you do? Neither one is good enough to justify the huge contract, but if you lose them you lose a great player and you have a lot of feelings for them but…[Read more]

At this point, you are expecting Wilson to be your starter in 2025.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING?

He’s sticking around for the bowl game.

Where are you seeing that? It’s not on their site, Twitter feed, or the feeds of any of their reporters.

Not that I necessarily doubt it, but I’m not seeing anything but vague rumors from random dudes.

And by your logic, Alabama isn’t a playoff team.

I’ve been saying this for years. G5 shouldn’t be ranked unless they’ve played 4 P5 games.

You can’t tell me this Utah team wouldn’t be undefeated with a G5 schedule.

Hell, there are 15 P5 teams who’d be undefeated with those weak ass schedules.

Had Oregon won…then I could see the PAC-12 being left out for: Michigan, FSU, Alabama, Texas. But Oregon didn’t, Washington did, and the choice is easy.

Michigan vs Washington in the Rose Bowl.
Alabama vs Texas in the other bowl.

Should be fun.

No drama. The committee has always said that they take injuries into account. FSU hasn’t looked good at all since their QB went down.

#1 – Michigan.
#2 – Washington.
#3 – Texas
#4 – Alabama.

It’s not that dramatic. Michigan should be #1. They have beaten a lot of really good teams. UW has beaten a lot of really good teams as well. They went…[Read more]

Yes…and no. Bowls came about before tv deals and big money. You’d play your conference games. Maybe a couple OOC games vs close by teams. But you’d never get to see Utah play a SEC or Big 10 or ACC team. You could in a bowl game.

They were incredible.

Then the college conferences started selling their games to tv networks. So you’d get…[Read more]

Here is something great for Wilson to think about:

Since 2017:

29 QB’s were taken in the first or second round.
23 of the 29 QB’s either redshirted or started the year as the backup QB.
Only 3 of the 29 QB’s drafted in the first round started day one. And two of those (Hurts and Mayfield) transferred to another school.

So, going to a…[Read more]

There is only one reason Vaki would leave: NIL money.

BUT, for someone like him, that can be very short sighted. He knows Utah’s system. He knows he can be the leading tackler and leading INT guy. He knows if he balls out next year, he has a shot at the first round, which is where the real money is.

If he leaves…he might get more money next…[Read more]

A couple things about Zach.

Burrows was taken the year before and Burrows had the same career as Zach. 3-4 years of dogshit play and an incredible last year.

Then…I mean…if you own the Jets…and Wilson pans out…Joe Namath was an incredibly average QB.

But if you win a Super Bowl with Wilson…he’s beautiful, charismatic, big arm, etc.

I ca…[Read more]

I don’t get the “I want to play right away” attitude. I wonder who it has worked out for?

The Mannings, maybe the smartest football family out there, sent their kid to a place where he could sit a year and get his mind/body right.

So…you’re telling me to worried about a team that overlooks BYU when a win will send them to the conference title game?

Again, another reason why OSU is a good team, but not a team that should worry us year in, year out. They almost lost to BYU. They did lose to some directional southern school. Yeah, they get up for big games. Much like BYU…[Read more]

Alright. One win vs a P5 team. Still absolute shit.

Eh. Call me unimpressed by a team that could barely handle BYU in a game that a win sends them to the Big 12 title game. They should have blown BYU like every other Big 12 team. Let’s see how they do against Texas.

If I’m Utah, I go all out for Brown at Ohio State. Kid played in Utah, parents still live here. Get him some cash and promise him a shot at starting from day 1. He still has four years of eligibility. So if he loses the job to Rising, you’d still have him as the starter for three years, ala Huntley/Rising.
