  • Of the three transfers this is definitely the head scratcher. Wright and Reyes were facing a battle for minutes but Chapman was penciled in as the starter at SF. Disappointing to say the least. I expected him to make the leap this past season and he just never did. But he would show tantalizing flashes that gave you hope. I wish him all the…[Read more]

    One other note about public transportation, your game ticket allows you free passage on game day. Definitely recommended instead of trying to find parking.

    Other Attractions – I would say Temple Square would be a must see for any out of state visitor. Park City would be another place I would recommend visiting, plenty to do in both the summer…[Read more]

    The Spring game always has to be taken with a grain of salt, but I came away rather impressed with Huntley. Caleb Repp and Cooperwood stood out (in a good way) among the receivers. Defensively a couple of the D-ends stood out – Hart and #40 in white … Huey. Really quick off the ball. Sure was nice of the rain to hold off until after the game…[Read more]

  • Always a chance but I’m just holding out hope for a split. Other than perhaps Wazzu there just isn’t an easy out in the conference this year which means sweeping road trips becomes very, very difficult. The Washington sweep made up for getting swept by the NoCal schools and I will gladly take a split against the Oregon schools and SoCal.

  • Easy to overreact after the first game. Saw some good things and saw some bad things. Offensively our starters looked great and that’s taking into account the fact Taylor and Wright didn’t hit a shot. Poeltl, Kuzma, and Loveridge all had monster games, which is what should happen against a smaller team. And even though Taylor and Wright shot…[Read more]

  • Utes win 24-20

  • Hard to read too much into the game last night other than we are incredibly deep at the wing position. And that’s with Ogbe sitting out, who seems to be perennially injured. It was only a few years ago we were losing these games and now we’re wondering why Larry isn’t calling off the dogs until you realize that IS our second unit out there.…[Read more]

  • Just joined up and thought I’d add my two cents. Bonham to me was the most impressive player at Runnin’ Utes night, but part of that might be because he’s a new guy and many of the others are proven commodities and we know what to expect. I had read on Twitter that there wouldn’t be much if any drop on the offensive side of things with the…[Read more]

  • I think the rule of thumb is you get 3 points just for being at home, so Washington only being favored by 1-1.5 means in theory they consider us the slightly (very slightly) superior team. Going to be one of those games that could go either way and will hinge on a big play or two.
