Is it just me or does seeing Nick Ford as a starter at LT give anyone else extreme anxiety?  

I would like  to see the Utes go back to the offense they ran last year with Troy Williams.  No RPO.  Direct handoffs to Zach so he knows he is getting the ball and where his blocks will be.  Run 60-65% of the plays, pass 35-40%.  Pass routes mostly in the 5-15 yard range with very few long balls.  Play action, especially if we are running 65% of…[Read more]

Is the Utah State game tonight being televised by anyone?

I rewatched the Cal game yesterday and what I noticed is that Cal is super athletic but their players look like this may be their second or third year playing basketball.  Their bigs have very little skill compared to ours and they looked almost foolish at times on the court.  Their coach has a lot of work ahead of him for this team to be…[Read more]

I have 3 tickets to the game on Saturday section W13, row 45, seats 31, 32, 33.  $50 a seat.  Anyone interested?

Apparently most bowl prognosticators think Utah gets 6 wins:
 
CBS West Virginia in the Texas Bowl 
SBNation K State in the Cactus Bowl
SI K State in the Cactus Bowl
ESPN #1 Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl
ESPN #2 Texas in the Texas Bowl
Sporting News Army in the Armed Forces Bowl
USA Today Wyoming in the Arizona Bowl

Just saw some bowl game projections for the Utes and there were three very intriguing matchups:
Utah vs. Virginia in the Sun Bowl
Utah vs, Tator Zoobs in the Vegas Bowl
Utah vs. Utah State in the Cactus Bowl
 
 

He is a 4 star point guard out of Olympus High School.  He will be a 2019 recruit and he is ranked at his age as one of the best point guards in the west.  His dad, Chris Jones, played for the Utes back in 92-93.  He was first team all state as a sophomore last year.

Remember these?  The ones where almost every other player’s helmet was a different shade of red?  

If they have 1 or 2 threads a day over there about sports it is a shock.  All the board does all day is bash Trump and it is always the same handful of people doing it.  It is like a broken record and I am never going back.

If Butler and UCLA advance tonight that would mean that 50% of the Utes regular season losses came from Elite Eight teams.  That is pretty impressive if you ask me and we were competitive in almost all of those losses.  I am kind of a glass is half full guy.

If the Utes would have come out and played just average in the first 8 minutes of the first half we win by 8-10 points in regulation.  We will crush this Cal team at the Huntsman.

I would like see a better contrast in colors or light vs. dark between the background and the message boxes.  It would make it much easier to follow threads IMO.
