The Miami Ute

The refs blew the call, plain and simple. It happens.

Well, credit to Whitt and Lud for seeing something in those QBs that other programs didn’t and developing them into something. None of those players came to Utah as the finished article so Whitt and Lud have to get some credit for getting them to the top. That being said, the way the QB room has been mismanaged during the last two seasons is…[Read more]

Doubtful, Houston beat TCU easily two weeks ago and could do the same to Utah. I jokingly said after the ASU game that the Utes could end the season on an eight game losing streak never thinking it would happen. Now, it’s more likely than not.

Ahem, I’ve been saying this for a few weeks. Houston at home is no gimme. For example, just two weeks ago they handled TCU quite easily. They have decent offense and can put up points. This game looks more like a loss than anything else. In fact, I don’t see any game remaining in the schedule where this version of Utah would be favored.

Yeah, I hear that Riley is in hot water. If it wasn’t for the eye watering size of his buyout his seat would be in peril. There’s definitely a sense of being duped and buyer’s remorse in that camp. Three seasons in, the return on investment has been quite minimal.

Sunbelt Billy should have never gotten the Florida job. Florida always seems to go for the next big thing and really have only gotten it right with Meyer.

FSU has entered the chat.

The problem is that if USC doesn’t start winning ASAP. pretty soon they’ll have crowds around 10K at the Coliseum. That’s the problem when you’re a program in a huge city with great weather. You’re not the only Coca-Cola in the desert and people will just tune you out.

You think Cignetti will get poached? By whom? We had a conversation about him recently here. He’s almost as old as Whitt and is in his first year of a contract that runs through the 2029 season. He’s also never coached west of the Mississippi (except for two years at Rice almost 40 years ago), so that kind of limits his appeal and reach.…[Read more]

Yeah, I don’t really count the Baylor game as one of those because they had a big lead during the entire contest that they frittered away. They remind me of one of those teams that jumps off to a great start of the season, lose once, and then proceed to lose many more times before the end of the season. There’s absolutely nothing that says to me…[Read more]

It’s not only that they’re 1-6, but they’re a bad 1-6. They’ve looked like trash in almost every one of their games. FSU picked a horrible time to give Mike Norvell a massive EIGHT YEAR extension at ~$10M per season during this offseason. That makes for an eye-watering buyout.

USC and Oklahoma are the new Nebraskas. They better start overpaying recruits but even that might not help them.

I can’t see the TDS going undefeated. They’ve already had two very near misses (SMU and OSU) and I can’t imagine that they have any more Mulligans left. Plus, being undefeated, they’re going every team’s best shot from here on in.

I’m doing a two for one. Going to see the UHC vs Bruins and immediately going to RES to catch the remainder of the TCU game. I should get there no later than halftime. Hopefully it will be a good game.

You are what your record says you are. I never thought I’d see the day where I’d say that Sitake has done a better coaching job than Whitt.

They most certainly do this year. They’re playing with house money at this point.

Looks like only Utah stands in the way of a BYU undefeated season.

Only 19 seconds….

As the late, great Howard Cosell once said “What a football game this turned out to be!”

WTF? Does Bowman have money on BYU?
