The Miami Ute

The Utes were also the worst free throw shooting team in the entire PAC 12. If they would have just been mediocre instead of plain bad, they would have easily won at least three or four more conference games and made the tournament without drawing sweat. They really have only themselves to blame for the situation they find themselves in.

Why did we bring in Smith if he wasn’t a good recruiter ?

Because he was the “easy button” for Harlan. Do you recall how that “coaching search” went? Well, if I remember correctly, there really wasn’t one. Krystkowiak hadn’t even cleared out his office and Smith had already been announced as the head coach. I don’t know where this program c…[Read more]

Sometimes I get the feeling that Smith couldn’t hit a cow’s ass with a banjo. He’s too one-dimensional and tends to play out of control at times. Simpson has an NBA career waiting for him, while Smith will have to go overseas if he wants to play basketball professionally.

Smith and Madsen must be playing the slots at Caesars. Anybody seen them tonight?

He’s missed a lot of layups this season. That’s for sure.

Well, I did some research and the vast majority of the tournament pundits don’t even have Utah on their radar any more. That essentially means that the Utes would have to win the Pac 12 tournament to make it to the dance. Those losses to ASU at home and Oregon State in Corvallis really put them on life support.

If the Utes win tonight, I give them a 50/50 chance to get to the dance. Win versus the winner of Wazzu vs Stanford and, I think, those odds go to around 80 percent. One game at a time, Sweet Jesus…

Yes, Johnson missed the entire 2006 season after getting hurt late in the 2005 season in a home loss to New Mexico. I’m sure that you remember that game. Anyways, you have to think that, if the football season started next week, both Cam and Johnson would have been able to go.

That’s the word I’ve used to describe them. I’ve never seen a team look so bad and so good in the same season against the same opposition. Best thing you could say is that they’re playing in a bracket where they’ve already beaten any of the teams that they might play.

If the Utes beat both of Colorado and Wazzu, then they’re in…they might even be in with just a victory over Colorado. I will say that Utah is fortunate that they’re on the side of the tournament because they can definitely beat both Wazzu and Colorado.

It’s what, 14 months since he had his surgery? If he’s not 100 percent now, he’s never going to be.

Man, the Utes are really looking good in the 1st half but so was Cal in the earlier game. That being said, ASU not having Jose Perez is really, really hurting them. Oh well, I hope that the Utes keep the pedal to the metal and don’t let up on the Sun Devils for one second. Go Utes!

Will there even be a border 15-20 years from now?

Utes should win. ASU is missing Jose Perez, who left the team to go pro and absolutely killed us in the two games he played against us. The Sun Devils are really going to miss the 25 points he averaged against Utah.

The Athletic just recently put out a long piece on, of all people, Scott Mitchell. It’s really worth a read and here it is for those that have an account: Tired of being blamed for Lions’ shortcomings, Scott Mitchell sets the record straight.

One of the most interesting things that I personally found when reading the article is Scott saying t…[Read more]

I’m pretty certain that he’ll get deported to South Sudan once his sentence is served. That’s usually what happens to non-citizens in crimes much less egregious than murder.

Thanks Proud…sounds like Isaac still hasn’t found a donor for his knee surgery.

Listen, I don’t want to be mean to you, but your post has got to be one of the weirdest things I’ve read in the 18+ months I’ve been on this site. I mean, a simple cursory search would show you that no less than 31 states have enacted, have passed or are in the process of passing anti-DEI legislation. That includes Texas, Florida, the entire Deep…[Read more]
