HeyyyUguyyys

You bring up a lot of good points and are probably right on all accounts. NIL drives so many of these guys decisions, but the irony is that the money that a true blue chip player is going to make on NIL is pennies compared to the second NFL contract. Rookie contract, life changing, second contract, generation changing. A mature kid with that…[Read more]

I don’t mean to be low self esteem sports guy, but what’s the Utah draw for this guy again? So far what I know is that he is a Texan with no Utah ties, blue chipper who has his pick of any national championship containing program and can probably all but write his own NIL check 🤔. I guess I should be flattered that we can give the kid more lev…[Read more]

I go back to something I said a few weeks ago which is that throwing all of your resources at the portal is both the answer and the problem. History has proven, for me at least, that I get more out of my experience as a fan when I know who I am watching. The human element of the game is a massive part of my fandom. Like the old Seinfeld bit, I’m n…[Read more]

It’s hard to paint college football coaches in a sympathetic light given how well compensated they are these days, but I absolutely feel for them when it comes to recruiting. It was a tough gig before NIL, transfer portals, conference realignment, growing player entitlement, etc. It has got to be near impossible though now for these coaches to k…[Read more]

Looks solid off the bounce. Gives effort on D. If he can shoot the three, we may have something here…

The BYU factor is definitely a real thing for me, which has been very surprising. Growing up, the season was largely defined by whether or not you beat BYU and you spent most of the year paying your dues with lesser games waiting for that game. I couldn’t have imagined a world where Utah and BYU didn’t play and then it happened and it was… kind…[Read more]

Don’t forget CALIMAN. The original troll bot

Lots of good thoughts on here about NIL, effects of the Big XII transition and such, but this comment gets at the heart of it for me. The idea of putting on a red shirt, going to the game, eating some good food and passively enjoying the action while leaving emotion aside with everything I can’t control is not the way I have consumed Utah f…[Read more]

My plans consist of failing miserably yet again to get back the beach body of my 20s despite a valiant effort. I will put my swim suit on for the first time, look in the mirror and see my muffin top and B cup and say f#*% it while I toss my protein smoothies and kale salads for a cheeseburger and an IPA. Honestly can’t wait.

I know I’m supposed to down vote you, but let’s be honest that was pretty funny

Hey, it was a bad post but let’s not get carried away. Your seat is safe.

I saw this video and immediately felt empathy for the Shadeur Sanders of the future, realizing just how pathologically tone deaf he had been to build a shrine to his “legendary” status before ever having played in a single NFL game. Then I reminded myself who his dad was and remembered that that day will never happen.

Amazing post 😂. I don’t make a habit of cutting people slack when they are douche bags. You made your own bed there. By the way, do you know who else thinks you are a douche bag for posting this? 90% of BYU fans that realize when you win you don’t have to talk. Don’t come on here regurgitating somebody else’s words and think BYU or even CB has you…[Read more]

Not sure I get the indifference reaction. You want the best players on your team to stay on your team. To each their own I guess. Does anyone really think he was only going to bring 10 catches and a hundred yards to the table this season? Everyone isn’t productive until they are. He was clearly talented and just needs an opportunity to showcase t…[Read more]

The baffling thing to me isn’t that players are following the money. That’s the understandable part. The baffling thing to me is that we seem to have such a weak counter punch to these programs that are waving cash in front of our players. Who knew we would be so far behind in adapting to the modern college football landscape. We are out there pre…[Read more]

Question for Tony-

I understand the non-censoring stance. I’m not requesting that you do that. If a user decides to block another user though how does that appear on the board? Would this thread not even appear because it was started by him? Asking for a friend. The childishness is genuinely taking away from the experience. Why grown ups c…[Read more]

Apparently the players are really feeling it too. Reading Mason Madsen’s comments after the BYU game would have Majerus turning over in his grave.

“I will say, it would probably be fun to play for BYU and have those fans. Because that was pretty sick,” the senior said. “That is something I hope I experience in the future. Not that I haven’t…[Read more]

I believe it’s been shared on the site before, but I loved hearing Andre Iguodala talk about Andre Miller when asked about the smartest player he ever played with. I always loved his game and loved his approach. Bringing him in would easily be the most exciting thing to happen to the program since the Bogut days.
