The Miami Ute

Well, here he is:

I would even submit that 2023 would have been the rebuilding year and we would have reloaded before the start of this season. But you know, people, like water, prefer the path of least resistance.

I saw that as it happened and laughed for about five minutes…at some point, you start wondering if he’s doing it to burnish his acting chops…

I’ve often wondered on this site where Utah would be today if Cam Rising and Brant Kuithe had both played their last downs for Utah during the 2022 season. Whitt thought that he was stealing a march on the competition by sticking with them but it’s gone horribly wrong.

LOL…that’s also really good…

Hardee, har har…that’s really good…

The arrogance around the Buffs is humility personified compared to the knob-slobbering administered by FOX…but, as I said pride goeth before the fall…the Buffs are being built up for ratings until they can get massacred by a P2 program, if and when they make it to the CFP.

Well, it’s much worse if you have tickets and are at RES for a night game…a 5:30 start time is much better in that respect.

You must excuse me…at times, I have episodes of utter delusion…

Colorado is losing to Kansas next week and I have ASU beating both BYU and Zona in its last two games. ISU has Utah and KSU for their last two games. It’s possible that they lose at least one of those games, in which case they would be eliminated from the CCG. You know what, it might come down to a tie-breaker between BYU and Colorado for the…[Read more]

Jim McMahon…a breath of fresh air and BYU fandom’s voice of reason…may it ever be so…

tOSU takes down Oregon without breaking a sweat if that game is played on a neutral site or at the Horseshoe. Oregon, so far this season, has won three games by a combined seven points. They also beat FCS Idaho, at home, by just 10 points. They are the B1G’s BYU doppelganger. Big rivalry game for them in a couple of weeks when they play Washington.

Oh, oh, oh…that’s another thing that caught my eye. Holy shit, it looked like Colorado’s OL was holding on every play that was put on the highlights. I mean, having a fistful of jersey and all of that ilk…I guess holding really happens on every play but it isn’t called because pretty soon referees wouldn’t have a job.

I didn’t watch the game but I did watch the extended highlights earlier this morning. Two things caught my eye and ear. One was poor tackling by the Utes’ defense and the other was Gus Johnson gushing over Deion Sanders, Shedeur, Henry, the whole Buffs’ circus, etc…I’ll also agree with you and comment that Colorado’s success has nothing to do…[Read more]

It is indeed…and it’s only going to get worse as the delta in income grows between the B1G and SEC.

You’re one of those “luck is the residue of design” guys, aren’t you?

They have a shot at the CFP as we speak, Sunday, 17 November. On Sunday, 24 November, the situation might be different. ASU is no joke.

And that’s just the way I want the Buffs to see it.

As I said, Colorado is the next team on the hype train scheduled for a derailment. Just taking a cursory glance at next week’s games, it seems like Kansas’ strengths (excellent secondary, mobile quarterback, and a plus running game) play right into Colorado’s weaknesses.

And they’ll probably lose next weekend as well. ASU is looking like the real deal.
