Of coarse he was called out, it’s the Wall Street Journal lol.

I must have missed something. Why would the WSJ “of course” be calling out Utah?

If Scalley made a special trip to fly out to the recruit and apologize, then there’s no way Whit didn’t know about it.

That’s…not good.

I’ve made lots of mistakes in my life. I’ve said lots of horrible things I wish I could immediately take back.

Not one of those things has ever been a racial slur.

This observation couldn’t have gone in one of the existing 8 threads? 😉

(just giving you a hard time)

The amazing thing to me is the number of people who are willing to defend Scslley with “as if you’ve never said anything like this before”.

Look, I’ve said lots of stupid things before, things that I wish I could immediately take back the moment I said them. But the N-word? I can very confidently say that word has never once passed my lips.…[Read more]

It not a good look for our majority white fan base to react by telling the African American community and players there is an expiration date to the pain they can feel or a certain number of instances needed to clear some make-believe bar to become problematic.

Well said.

I really hope that minority recruits aren’t keeping too close an eye on…[Read more]

I’ll wait to judge or defend until more info comes out (I.e. pattern of behavior, what was actually said, etc). I’d like to think that this was an isolated incident that was a simple monumental lapse of judgement, but I have no idea at this point…and neither do you.

I fear the damage may already be done though. If you’re a minority recru…[Read more]

The thing that’s hilarious is watching them live… they headbang, wear the whole spikes, etc. thing as if they were a death metal band.

Huh? I’ve seen Katatonia twice (at metal festivals) and didn’t notice any spikes, corpse paint, fake blood, or any of the other usual death metal accouterments. I just kinda thought they were boring, tbh. Tha…[Read more]

I loved Opeth back when the were an actual metal band. In fact, I’d put “Ghost Reveries” in my personal top 10 albums of all time. Their recent shift to prog…not so much.

Never cared much for Katatonia.

I typically skew more toward the heavier death metal end of the spectrum. Entombed, Behemoth, Death, Sigh, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Senti…[Read more]

All far too mellow for my tastes, but I did have a funny interaction yesterday that kinda relates.

A co-worker of mine knows that I listen to heavier music (she’s a country fan). She was so excited to forward me a YouTube clip, letting me know that she had “finally found a ‘death metal’ song that she liked”, and was wondering if I had heard of…[Read more]

Dollars and eyeballs, man.

Sucks, but that’s the way of the college football world.

I’m guessing we drop a lot lower than 10. I’d be surprised if we were higher than 13.

Going for it on 4th and 2 at midfield was the turning point. If we had gotten that and extended that drive, it could have been a different game.

Sadly, we didn’t and it wasn’t.

It’d be disappointing, but I wouldn’t blame the NFL-bound guys a bit. Why risk millions of dollars (in Moss, Anae, Jaylon, and Leki’s case) to play in a bowl game that means very little in the grand scheme of things?

I don’t see why Huntley would sit though. He still likely has something to prove to NFL scouts that he can play at the next level.

The same can be said about all but around 15-20 programs in the country.

The reality is that there are a small handful of teams that will continue to get the best players, regardless of anything Utah does. We – and most other teams – need to develop lower star players into studs, something we have traditionally been very good at.

The idea…[Read more]

I ventured over to CB. 7 of the 10 topics on the front page are about Utah.

Rent. Free.

I tend to agree, especially given the likely weather conditions (soggy, rainy, and cold-ish)
