Then Colorado is dumb as rocks. “let’s give up voting rights on issues valuing 500 million dollars for 2 million dollars…”

Morons.

Technically, I think only USC, UCLA and Colorado have formally told the P12 they are leaving.

The other teams are still full members…and at least on paper…long term members of the PAC-12. They’d be stupid to leave right now. There are too many things to figure out. They all invested in the PAC-12 Networks. They need to figure out who owns…[Read more]

This is where bad luck has killed Utah. If Rose hadn’t gotten hurt…who knows where we are now. We might be stressing that Wilson is going to decommit because he knows he will never see the field.

We are just hamstrung by Cam. We need him. Desperately. We need him taking reps so he feels good and wants to play. There is no other way around it.…[Read more]

The reality is…we don’t know. We don’t know if people will continue to cut cords. We don’t know if Cable will make a comeback…or a streaming version of cable.

Money drives this. Not Ohio State, not Alabama. It’s subscribers to Comcast, DISH, Directv…It’s the little old lady who watches FOX NEWS 24 hours a day paying $8 to ESPN every month.…[Read more]

I agree 100% with you. Your logic is spot on. But you have to keep running Cam out there in hopes that something clicks and he is ready to play. We have been so lucky. Johnson fumbled 3 times and had at least two balls that should have been picked off. He just isn’t good enough.

And Barnes is worse than that.

We desperately need Cam to show…[Read more]

Here is what will happen. ESPN won’t pay. OSU and WSU will sue. ESPN will argue that they paid for USC, not WSU and OSU and WSU are acting in bad faith. The judge will roll their eyes and tell them to figure it out.

ESPN will then settle with OSU and WSU…either with cash or get them into a conference.

I don’t think you are wrong. You are 100% correct. Johnson would be better if we shelved Cam for a month.

BUT, we can’t win the PAC-12 with Johnson. Or, it would take a miracle to win the PAC-12 with Johnson. We can win with an average Cam.

So you have to keep running Cam out there in hopes he can play. With a mediocre Cam, we beat UCLA like a…[Read more]

He didn’t play QB until his JR year in HS.

HS – JR
HS – SR
College – FR
College – RS FR – this year.

It’s pretty simple. The P12 it really tough. And Utah is really, really good.

The second Cam can start, you start him. The reality is, we scored 31 vs Weber St and 14 vs UCLA. That isn’t good enough. We need Cam. It’s not bagging on Johnson, he’s been fantastic for what we’ve needed. But we can’t win the PAC-12 with him as our QB…or at least…[Read more]

Best PR in the league.

Go Birds!

Eh. I don’t like stuff like this. Sure, had Moore hit on those passes, they would have won 21-14. BUT, we had unforced fumbles, drops, dropped INT’s, etc.

The simple reality is, statements like this assume a perfect game is possible. And for a true freshman? Honestly…he played way better than I thought. I was super impressed by him. He will be…[Read more]

This is the reality. If Rose was healthy, maybe the coaches decide to put Rising on the burner and let him simmer and focus on Johnson.

While Johnson has all the potential in the world, this is his fourth season, if that, being a QB. He is just limited due to lack of experience.

I love these types of blanket statement statements.

Define knowledgeable Utah fans. Because if it’s based on insider info, this forum gets info before UteZone most times. Sadly, Whitt shut down the program and UZ doesn’t break news anymore.

So, by your definition, what’s knowledgeable? Even play breakdowns and schemes…as someone outside…[Read more]

One of the greatest defensive performances I’ve ever seen. It was beautiful. Reid and Barton are amazing. The DL is amazing. Just fun to watch.

Utah is undefeated. Utah has 8+ starters out. Utah has by far the toughest SOS. Utah is the defending PAC-12 Champion.

And Utah is undefeated.

Until someone beats Utah, it’s Utah. They shown more, they’ve proven more, and they have the best record. Until someone beats them, it’s Utah.

I saw one of the greatest defensive performances I’ve ever seen. Yeah, the offense sucked, but at the same time, we shut the offense down. We know it sucked. BUT

Defensively…wow. What a performance. Absolutely incredible.

I agree. I left there last year and haven’t missed it at all. All the twitter people just moved to UteZone.

And that’s not a good thing.

I kind of feel bad for the UteZone owners, but they have completely sold out to the cougarboard-type fans in our fanbase and it shows.

Right now, I’d rank the P12 as:

1. Washington (look unstoppable)
2. Oregon (OR and WA are probably 1a and 1b, tbh)
3. Utah (elite defense, lackluster offense)
4. USC (elite offense, lackluster defense)
5. Wazzu (solid team, slight edge after last night)
6. Oregon State (gonna be really tough)
7. UCLA (talent and speed, will be i…[Read more]

That is certainly…a ranking.

The major flaw with the “Utah should have brought in a QB” is that we were supposed to be starting Rose right now. Coming into fall camp, Johnson was QB4.

We have no idea what Rose looked like and how we’d look if he wasn’t injured.

If the coaches really liked Rose, then it’s easy to see why they didn’t bring in a QB.
