The correlation is that Whitt closed down practices. We’d know how good/bad the team is when we could see them in the fall. Now? We know nothing about the team until game 1. We try to make assumptions based on past knowledge (like Cam Rising, after 18 FUCKING months is healthy and is smart enough not to fuck himself and the team over) but we don’t…[Read more]

If I was the Wilson family, I’d be PISSED that Cam played this game.

The problem isn’t Wilson. It’s the playcalling. You have Kuithe, Singer, Bernard, King, etc and you suck this badly? And the OL has been great.

All the issues with the offense are not Wilson related and are 100% playcalling and execution.

Toss in how bad the defense is and…[Read more]

Yeah, and that can be explained by the three trips to the redzone against Arizona and only coming away with 3 points.

That was pathetic.

We will be 7-1 going into the BYU game and BYU will be 5-3.

You aren’t wrong, but it’s still a bad take. Every team plays garbage teams 8 games a year. It’s another reason why college football is getting worse and worse every year.

You can’t say Utah sucks at 4-1 and then prop other teams up with the same records. The reality is, we don’t know. As bad as we say Utah is, there is only about 24 teams that…[Read more]

It’s the whole sport. There has always been haves and have nots. But the difference between today and the 80’s and 90’s is that the have nots still had things to work for.

Think back to those days. Especially the 90’s through about 2010.

Bowl games mattered. Conference championships mattered. You had rivals you cared about and wanted to beat.…[Read more]

Utah healthy (with Rising) runs away with this conference. It isn’t great.

Utah without Rising, is a top tier Big 12 team. Able to beat anyone and able to lose to the better teams.

If Rising is fully healthy, we are top 10.

Hell no. If I’m Whitt, I open practice back up and stop with these injury nonsense.

If we can all watch practice, we know that Cam isn’t ready last year. And Whitt gets questions and has to have accountability as to why he is giving Cam reps when he isn’t ready. And maybe because Whitt has to be accountable, he gives Barnes/Johnson more reps and…[Read more]

Look, when we were in the MWC, we’d lose half the top 10 to schools in power conferences. When we were in the PAC-12, we got to the point where we could keep a lot of those kids at home.

Now that we are in the Big 12…well, the Big 12 sucks rocks. And the kids know this. They don’t want to play Big 12 teams. So we are losing them again.

As…[Read more]

The stupid thing about the “hide the injury for strategic advantage” is Whitt isn’t winning these games. He literally accomplished nothing by doing this song and dance.

It is so stupid. This and closing practices are just dumb decisions made by Whitt. I love the man and I hope he never retires, but he is just wrong on these two things.

My babysitter had to leave at midnight, so I would have left then regardless of what was happening in the game.

Thanks for your concern though.

BYU is good. Their schedule will come down to this five week stretch:

Arizona, OKSU, Utah, Kansas.

That is a tough stretch.

The Big 12 isn’t tough. They are dirty.

BYU is so desperately trying to become Utah. Their whole defensive coaching staff is former Utah coaches. The defensive coaching is elite. Hill, Sitake, Gary Andersen, Justin Ena, Pouha…Then add in Poppinga.

BYU has excellent defensive coaches right now.

If I’m Utah State, I do everything I can to get Jay Hill and a couple of those coaches to Logan.

We don’t lose games we shouldn’t.

If you take away Florida, Oregon, Ohio St, Penn St, USC, teams that are all vastly more talented than we are, Cam Rising is 19-1 vs teams that aren’t those teams.

No team in the Big 12 is vastly more talented than us.

IF Rising can ever play, we should just roll through the Big 12. We don’t lose to teams…[Read more]

This seems to be the plan

That is what I am hearing as well. I’m ok with it. I think Wilson really looks good this weekend. His big issue is no TO’s.

With how bad Arizona’s defense is, I could see Wilson having close to 300 yards passing and 2-3 TD’s. He just can’t have turnovers.

Amen to that. The Big 12…sucks.

I think the ACC and Big 12 will dissolve and 2-3 new conferences will merge. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you end up with 4-6 ACC teams and 4-6 PAC-12 teams in a nationwide conference where the west coast teams play each other and have two cross country road games and two ACC teams come to them every year.…[Read more]

I haven’t been on the board much this week…are people not happy with the game on Saturday?

We fucked up OKSU. Honestly, after watching that game and then watching KSU play…there isn’t a single team that can hang with us. We should roll through the rest of the year.

We are just heads and shoulders better than everyone else.
