This is an advantage of being retired. Here are a few of my perceptions after watching the game for a second time. When you know the outcome of the game – you watch for different things.
– Someone on here posted a while back that Jackson was not good after contact. I would ask, what games did you watch? He was a beast after contact and broke…[Read more]

Coaches feel good about our CB room.

It sounds like Rose has the inside track to QB2, which is no surprise. Everyone is worried about him being ready to play major college football. Well, at some point he needs to get on the field and show what he has. Every QB has to play their first game. I wish this was a season we started with Weber and then a MWC team. But, that’s…[Read more]

After practice yesterday, Coach Whitt said his top priorities in camp are quarterback, then quarterback, and finally quarterback. This certainly implies that he is concerned about Cam’s ability to go on August 31. The good news is that he said that Cam is doing some practicing, but is kept out of drills that could hurt his knee.
I think there is…[Read more]

I know everyone is currently concerned about conference affiliation and I am also concerned, but I can’t do anything about it. So, let’s talk about the 2023 football season.
I believe that this team is as deep as any Ute football team we have ever seen. This bodes well for November when we will have experienced injuries. Is this the best Ute…[Read more]

I found this quote from former Ute coach Wayne Howard after the 1977 game against BYU. It was his first year at Utah and was shocked that BTY put Marc Wilson back into the game to set an NCAA passing record.
“This today will be inspiring. The hatred between BYU and Utah is nothing compared to what it will be. It will be a crusade to beat BYU from…[Read more]

Here is a nice article about our incoming players.
Go Utes!!!

I might be naive, but Utah has established a strong football brand and we were ranked 11th in all sports last season. We have a strong TV market and fan base (19,000 showed up in Gainsville last September). We have the Delta hub here – making it easy for other teams to get here. We have sold out every football game for over a decade. We have…[Read more]

If I understand this right, Tuberville and Manchin are sponsoring a bill to give the NCAA power to manage NIL and the portal. I hope something comes of this. It is like I heard yesterday on the radio – could you imagine the NFL where everyone was a free agent every six months, it would be total chaos. If something is not done, college football…[Read more]

They are Utah, Oregon, and Stanford. He is set to announce his decision on Saturday. We just beat out USC and Oregon for a top RB. I hope we can get another big commitment this Saturday.

If his main interest is the best education he can receive – then Stanford is tough to recruit against. We have lost a number of top in-state…[Read more]

Our group of ten did not have a bad experience last September in Gainsville and we were sitting in a Florida section. I know some of you did sit by some obnoxious, vulgar fans. But, let’s not be those kinds of fans. Let’s provide the Gator fans with a nice experience in Utah and RES. Let the team beat up Florida on the field while we enjoy the…[Read more]

Preseason Rankings
I saw this come up today. Three PAC12 teams are in the top ten. I hope Utah turns out to be this good. They project Utah will go 10-2 with losses at USC and UW.

And the O/U is 48.5. I think both are a bit low. What do you all think?
My prediction is 34-21. Of course, this is with Cam Rising at QB.
Go Utes!!!

First – The top of the page indicates Utah’s gamer against Florida is at 7:00. The game is at 6:00.
Second – Why can’t I copy and paste into a new post when I am creating a new thread? I sometimes used this to copy a quote. Now it seems to think that I am copying a link and won’t allow me to do it.

This was his response when asked if he was thinking of retiring.
KW at PAC12 media day
This is a nice article. He claims this is the best and deepest team he has ever had. He typically sandbags, so this season could be special if we get healthy and stay healthy. I am just going to sit back and enjoy this team (win or lose).

There are no concerns of the Big 12 poaching Pac12 teams. I know the truth…
Who knows the complete truth? I am confident in the Utah football brand and that we will land on our feet when everything is said and done.

The humidity in Georgia is very difficult compared to Utah’s dry heat.
Riley asked him how he feels to be among all these great players. He said he enjoys being around everyone.
He likes being picked third.
Now he is the experienced guy – what is he working on? He said that Vaki and him are practicing at free safety.
Miles Battle has great…[Read more]

He just tries to have fun at media days.
He says he feels great and things are right where they should be.
He is chomping at the bit to play Florida again. The game fuels him and makes him work harder.
He said that he made the decision to come back before his injury.
The wide receiver room has taken a step in the right direction and the tight…[Read more]

He could not care less about being picked third. He said that they will get some fuel out of that and Cam not being picked as at least an honorable mention.
Was excited that 6 guys got picked on the preseason PAC12 first team.
He said that this is the best/deepest offensive line he has had at Utah.
3 or 4 great recruiting years and great player…[Read more]

The most important thing is that Whitt got rid of his mullet. In fact his hair is shorter than I have ever seen it. 🙂
Coach said Kuithe is three months ahead of Cam in rehab and should be ready to go. He hedged on Cam and said that we have five weeks to see if he is ready. Who knows what the coach was trying to say. Is he hedging to keep…[Read more]
