There has been a talent gap for years now. With NIL being so out of whack, I honestly think this team is where Utah will be in Hoops unless we get some mystery donor, which I don’t see happening. NIL seems justifiable for football cause it’s a cash cow when schools invest. Gone are the days when you could have a tyrant as a coach, screaming at kids 24/7 but somehow made the tournament because he was some sort of basketball savant. It’s about the $$$ and Utah isn’t on the level of other schools willingness to invest. It’s that simple.

He cheats at golf. That’s where he lost me.

Roughly $171,000 for the win too according to the NFL CBA.

The kid can play. Dare I say he’s a win away from being considered elite with a massive upside. Frankly, he made the right choice by not coming to Utah and then transferring to LSU. Utah was trending in the right direction to secure a top-flight quarterback over Cam’s two Rose Bowl seasons, but the following two-year debacle will make it difficult, along with NIL, for a top starter. Hopefully, the new OC and transfer will kick the trajectory up again.

I’ve never wanted more to have a Ute pick off a quarterback in a single game. Go, Cole! Wait, I take that back. I did want mister “Fetch Utah” to get humiliated more but I’ll settle for 2nd here.

I’d move jobs to double my salary and currently at the best job of my life, even commute to Provo. Just sayin’.

On a side note, Branden Carlson would have been the 3rd leading scorer for the Utes tonight but he scored them for OKC against the Jazz, I guess those don’t count. Frankly, I had no idea he was actually on OKC and playing…

Agreed on you points there. It is a pretty easy get to LA, the Bay Area, heck even the Oregon schools with plenty to fit in beyond the game. I’m considering going to the UCLA game, then spending a day or two on the coast over the holiday weekend. Nothing else though, frankly RES is becoming too pricey for the experience it used to be when USC came in for their beatings.

You know it hurts when the dude still can’t talk about it without squirming and looking uncomfortable. I miss those days…

Comes down to perception. Personally, I don’t think he’s a Nazi but the outcome of what I’d call a poorly chosen gesture at the wrong place in time definitely elicited emotion from people on the left and far right. I’m your typical run-of-the-mill American who tends to hate government, both its bloated ineffectiveness and increasing privacy infringements. Still, the guy seems to have quickly consolidated vast power economically and politically. This is potentially a big problem that could escalate quickly. If he does harbor some fascist sentiment (I do believe he does to a degree), buyer beware. Many things I agree with him on, HB1 visas for talent, big on engineering investment for students, and choosing the best available talent for critical jobs. America needs a full-scale reinvestment in education and innovation because we stand to lose standing in that critical piece we have excelled in for over a century.

He just needs to stop openly walking, talking, and acting like a Duck on his platform and in public. Get some wins with DOGE (if even possible) and talk about that.
