The Miami Ute

It’s not an extreme position to take if you have concrete proof that the administration is not willing to compete and has relegated the sport to “also ran” status. There’s a difference in trying hard to actually achieve something and just going through the motions to put some product on the floor.

Brother listen…I’ve been on Harlan’s case since the day he hired Smith, calling it the “Easy Button” solution, because all he did was take three days and a drive an hour north of SLC to seal the deal. I’ll never forgive Harlan for that and he definitely bungled that hire, which was the first major thing he had to do at the U. Because of that,…[Read more]

Yeah sure…there’s pent up demand for mediocre basketball coaches all over the nation. Why don’t we just say that Krystkowiak got lucky in signing a way above market contract that set him up for life and leave it at that? Because that’s what happened.

I saw that…not many nights something like that happens.

Unless Smith goes winless in conference and loses every game by 25+ points and every player transfers

The odds of that happening are greater than the odds of that NOT happening.

Well, hell, if they’re going to do that then just get rid of the MBB program and save all of us our time, money and aggravation. It’s going to be a horrible look for the university if March rolls around and the only people at the Huntsman are Smith’s relatives.

Yeap, I’ve had tickets for five seasons now and I’m really leaning in that direction. Or maybe I’ll just transfer my eyeballs to the WBB team. Whatever the case, having football and gymnastics season tickets (plus Utah Hockey Club) I already feel that I’m starting to be spread too thin.

Not this season…they’ve given up 80+ points in three straight games.

What’s that supposed to mean? That Utah should stick with one mediocre coach because the guy who replaces could also be a mediocre coach? You do realize that Krystkowiak hasn’t worked another basketball job since he got fired by Utah, right? What does that tell you? I know what it tells me.

Oh Rick, there’s no doubt in my mind that Smith is a “Dead Man Walkin’.” Based on the first two performances in conference play, This team might not win another game this season. And not only that, they’re going to struggle to keep the games competitive. By the end of the season, the Huntsman might resemble a cemetery and that’s when you’ll know…[Read more]

Utah came back to take a 30-29 lead. But then Tech closed the half on a 17-6 run. No mistake, Tech’s a good team…I just checked and they finished 3rd in the conference last season plus they made the NCAAs… going to be a tough slig to beat them.

First time I’ve ever heard an Utah fan say that he/she has a soft spot for Oregon. If it wasn’t for Knight’s financial doping, they’d be in Oregon State’s place. The funny thing is that Oregon State has an alumnus, Jensen Huang, that makes Phil Knight like one of those people you see pushing a shopping cart around downtown Salt Lake City.…[Read more]

Bye ASU…it was a nice ride while it lasted but you choked at the end…good luck repeating your magic next season.

Whatever the result of this game, whoever wins will get blown out next weekend ala TCU in CG a couple of seasons ago.

I’m telling you…ASU this season has had more lives than a cat. Plus, Texas needs a new kicker…the dude plainly sucks in pressure situations.

I think it’s a big deal. If you saw Johnson play last season, and I know you did, you saw the most dynamic player wearing an Utah uniform. He just wasn’t used correctly. If Beck uses Johnson in a way that accentuates his positive qualities, he can be a very useful player for Utah. Plus, the fact that he’s already spent two years in Utah should…[Read more]

I always thought them of an eastern USC but with far less success, They’re getting their asses handed to them right about now. I still maintain that with a healthy QB, any healthy QB, Utah would have beaten them when we played them in October. They’ve ridden their luck all season and now it’s about to run out.

Back when we first entered the PAC and ASU was decent and led by Todd Graham, I really only hated USC more in the conference. Now that they’re decent again under Dillingham, and their fans have returned to their level of ass douchery, they’re back on my shit list. So, Hook ’em Horns!!!

That’s the other one I was thinking of using…
