Boone Abbott (PG QB) sounds really impressive. Is he being recruited anywhere?

Yes, YES, and yes. 

Crazy to think that had they knocked off Michigan State (which they almost did) they would be ranked high in the CFP.  The Aggies have a better SOS than UCF, and that would have been a signature win that UCF hasn’t had since Auburn last year.

I can’t believe UCF is #8. They are becoming more insufferable than Boise State fans. But at least they…[Read more]

Grindr too, naturally.

Jason Shelley throws a better ball than does Tyler Huntley. We will see plenty of passes, though we won’t see the deep throws while on the run like with TH.

Hans isn’t quite as bad as Gunther, but both of them are very put out that Aaron Roderick got replaced by TT. It leaks through from time to time with Hans, and about 97% of the time with the Gunthermeister Meistergunther.

Shelly may be a bit better at throwing the medium and deep ball, so I see that aspect of our offense improving. That will help open up the run game. Oregon is winnable but will be very tough.
Colorado gave up a 31 point lead to Oregon State in the 4th quarter. We can win that game with Matt Gay and Mitch Wishnowski rotating series at QB and with…[Read more]

I can’t believe how dismissive some Utah fans are of ASU (more on Facebook than here). They are still a freakishly talented team, and they are much better than their record. N’Keal Harry is going to have a Calvin Johnson type of NFL career, and the run game with Eno Benjamin is solid.
Sure, Utah was ranked a lot higher in the human polls and had a…[Read more]

He had a fantastic grab for a TD this past weekend.

Crosby’s own 2014 Raelon Singleton coming up big again for my Coogs! Awesome catch for his 2nd UH TD vs undefeated S Florida @Raelon_S ! 🎉🏈 @UHCougarFB #HTownTakeover #UHAlumniProud pic.twitter.com/xSt0ghaQkC

Copper hasnt yet played a team with a pulse. I am haopy for them to be 5-0 now, but they have a lot of tough games ahead.

I’m curious to know where the ‘many’ of the people in the tribes they refer to are complaining about the use of the name? Is this from the one or two people who complained about it a few years ago? The actual tribe continues to endorse the U and will continue to provide the halftime show on occasion.

The official Ute tribes endorse the use of…[Read more]

The difference is we RESPECTFULLY use the symbols and name.  WSU appears to want to prevent students from using the symbols and name in a derogative fashion on signs, posters, chants, etc (a la the zoob chick with the ‘Go back to the Reservation!) sign a few years ago.

Respectful use of the team name should be just fine.

I am also not convinced that he has Hercules Mata’afa’s strength. 

That said, he is a very talented player and will be an important part of their Defensive strategy. It will be fun to see him in this game. Either he will put on a clinic and disrupt our offense, or he will get taken to school by our O line.

The author of the first *article probably has not watched more than a few minutes of a Utah game in his entire life.  He was factually incorrect on every single assertion.

If Sharrieff Shah ever gets a big offer to keave, we need to do everything possible to keep him.Shah and Scalley have been outstanding recruiting and developing this backfield.

That is an amazing statement, considering we are predicted to have a Top 10 Defensive backfield this year. 

JJ is a big part of that.

Relax and take a step back.

You said, ” The people that will come to the Utah fanbase are non-members, former members, and members who are “LDS” but still drink and are normal people. ”

I added an additional seperate category, fully LDS people who don’t drink, but who simply disdain byu-P for other reasons. 

And I have known Big Russ for a very…[Read more]

USC skips both UW and Oregon this season. That is a huge advantage for them over us. If we overcome our schedule to put us in a position to win the South and then beat eventual North champion Stanford or UW for a second time, then losing to byu-P or NIU would go down as one of the worst wtf losses in program history.

Frankly I would be more…[Read more]

Scalley was making more as an assistant at Utah than byu-P offered him to be their DC. There is zero chance he takes a job there.

Wow.  They skip both Washington and Oregon.  This schedule is lining up nicely for the Trojans.

Next year we have a relatively easier schedule (drop Stanford and Oregon, pick up Cal and Oregon State).
