I’m excited to see the defense in action. Can we get pressure with the front 4? Are we good enough in man coverage to bring some more pressure from elsewhere if necessary? Can we bottle-up their running game, and tackle well? I am optimistic that these things will all go better this year than at the start of last season.

Cam Rising was very…[Read more]

I would imagine that certain coaches were not thrilled with the poor tackling and (at times) lack of physicality to start last season. We are gonna do things differently this year, but that comes with a cost.

We have 3 guys who are competing to replace/backup one of the best QBs to ever play at Utah. They all have their strengths and weaknesses (and their recruiting ratings), and none of them are Cam Rising, Tyler Huntley, Bryan Johnson or Alex Smith.
They are all working their a$$s off, and I am stoked to see whichever one the coaches think gives…[Read more]

TDS is letting the B-12 use their vaunted HD truck in exchange for a full share.

Hmm, that looks promising for this year (I have not used it in the past). I see it coming out to $69 per month for the smallest package with the necessary channels.

It looks like the Sling package you would need to to get P12, ESPNs and FS1,2 (Orange+Blue with Sports add on) comes to $66 per month. You can also wait to add the package with…[Read more]

People expect Rose and Johnson to have worked hard during the offseason to gain some experience running the offense (at least on their own with teammates), and to have gotten stronger/faster and all that. I’ve got news for you: Bryson Barnes has been doing that too. If he is QB 2, it’s because he took the job away from two other scholarship D-1…[Read more]

Two things:

1) This the most Utah thing to do. It brings back memories of TD Croshaw and Lance Rice, and that is obviously not good.

2) I really don’t think judging any quarterback on their performance while being thrown into a game as the backup is fair. From Whit’s comments, it sounds like there are some turnover/consistency issues with Rose…[Read more]

I’m really sad about the demise of the PAC, but happy that we landed somewhere reasonable. I am excited to see how this shakes out.

I’m seeing reports that UA. ASU and Utah are still sticking together as a threesome, so hopefully that will help avoid the partial share situation, but who knows?

Listening to Canzano et al., there are rumors that the deal is strongly back-loaded, so after year two, there is a lot more guaranteed money. Who knows though? There has obviously been a lot of made up BS passed off as legit info from informed sources lately.

Most college athletes are not football players, I hope this mess doesn’t screw them…[Read more]

I like that we get so much airtime on KSL. That makes me laugh a bit.

For some reason I can stomach PK on the radio more-so than in print.

Scott Mitchell is like a poor man’s Bill Walton. I think he is great in small doses.

One more. Things were never the same after Mr. C. and John VA left anyway.
