We have BYU and Baylor already on the schedule. You would assume that this will all get reworked, leaving us two open dates. Which schools will have openings? Harlan had better get to work on this quickly. I think there is a possibility that they keep the Baylor game and count it as a non-conference game. I have seen this kind of thing in…[Read more]

I am happy we landed on our feet. I am not going to call out BYU fans or any other school for that matter. It is also stupid to suggest that we will automatically become the champions in football. Those Utah fans on Twitter who are getting into pissing contests with BYU – let it go. We look petty when we do that.
I liked the PAC12 and wish it…[Read more]

I have stayed out of the conference realignment discussion, for the most part, just waiting to see where we would land. I was confident we would land in a good place. But, now things have blown up. I hope our administration has played the right cards and didn’t wait too long in responding to the Big12.
What do I know? Rumors have been rampant…[Read more]

Ganther talks about all of the drama last season, Bernard goping to the portal and coming back, his expectations and the incoming freshmen.
My favorite quote,”I don’t want the best back, I don’t want the best group in the conference, I want the best group in the country. That’s what I’m striving for.”

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!!!
