Yes, BYU got a lot of bounces during he season, which helped them have an 11-2 season. However, I noticed that they enjoyed playing together. They were having fun, and showed confidence. This is much like the Utes from 2017 to 2022.

BYU did not lose many players from last season, and they return their starting QB. If their QB stays healthy, I…[Read more]

Thanks for the report!

A year ago I was fine with Harlan. Not so much now. I do like the hire of Alex Jensen, but I am not sure he had a lot to do with getting him to come home.

If the Red Rocks pull off a national championship on Saturday, the Utes will have two this season. Not many ADs can say that. That being said, for me, it’s all about football.

It will be his first game with new teammates, new coaches, and a new scheme. I suspect he will not be at his best when the Bruins play Utah. But, he is a talented QB.

9 spots to fil this late in the game is an issue. However, in the new world of portal players it is not as big of an issue. Yet, I suspect the best of the portal players have already made their decisions.

I suspect Alex will need a few years to get this program on solid footing. BYU’s coach did amazing h=in his first year, but it sounds like…[Read more]

There was a game-time decision not to play Rising.

Krindor, I really only disagree at LB, but not much. I would call it equal. Also, Utha lost a lot of studs on the Dline. I would probably call that overall equal. I hate to say this, but I think his may Utah’s weakest defense in a decade or more. However, surprises always seem to pop up, like Bishop, Lloyd, Anae, Chase Hansen, etc. I hope a…[Read more]

The portal and NIL have made college sports a mess. Hard to blame a kid for going after the money, but when you are already well compensated, you should keep your agreement. I would be reluctant to bring this kid into my program if I were a coach.

I have posted before that the Jazz must do something next season or they will lose their fanbase. They have been tanking for three years now. This off-season, they must make some significant changes or the fans will no longer show up. This has gone on way too long. They have already lost me. I have not watched a minute of Jazz basketball in…[Read more]

Well said AZUTE.

I do believe that there are some people who will donate forever. Ryan Smith’s wealth is estimated at 1.4 billion and growing. If he invested 200 million an account that made him 10%, he could donate 20 million per year without feeling it. He is totally invested in BYU basketball, making BYU one of the top 5 highest paid teams in the…[Read more]

I agree that the concept of NIL was good. But, it is now out of control. I do think that Ute Dub is right that we will likely not be able to reign in this mess. This is why college sports is becoming less appealing to me.

I agree!

Yeah, I hadn’t read the comments. After reading your post – I decided to read them. So many Cougars are full of hate. Posting comments like these shows who they really are. The good Cougar fans typically do not post comments. I stopped reading comments when I read comments that a wife deserved to be shot and killed by her ex-husband in a…[Read more]

I did too, but I do not want to see that happen again.
