Utah

It’s not a fair comparison.

BUT

Most of the people complaining about “Utah bagging on the Big 12” are teams that will be in the Big 12 next year. And they aren’t that great. They aren’t Texas, Oklahoma, USC, UW, Oregon.

Look, Utah is going from a conference where there was a true blue blood in USC and multiple teams with higher profiles than…[Read more]

Just schedule down. We have a legit shot at the playoffs every year, even if we don’t win the conference. Losing to Florida kills a lot of that. Schedule down. You want your big games in December, not September.

Going along with that, Utah State is an awesome idea. Close, a win, a somewhat interesting game. I like it.

Man, Mokofisi has had a rough year. Let’s hope he improves.

Good old mormon, Republican legislatures using the government to force private citizens doing private transactions to show those transactions to the public in hopes of trying to hurt the University of Utah.

You know…freedom and all that other bullshit.

Yeah, it’s about damn time we are overrated.

This. He did get onto the field for parts of games…but then Julio Jones signed and he’s a PR again.

Maybe he can watch a coach who can actually have an effective offense? No offense to Whitt, but offense ain’t his bag baby.

If you can’t see the value of working with Lincoln Riley for a few years AND coaching in the Big 10, facing Ohio State, Michigan, Penn St, etc…then I don’t know what to tell you.

He’d recruit with other coaches. He’d…[Read more]

I’d be ok if he left. It would only help him get better. Why not go and learn from a guy like Lincoln Riley? And if he’s successful, he will have more connections into recruiting.

We’d hire Jay Hill and our DC would be Hill/Shah. Or Hill/Swan as co-coordinators.

We’d be fine. And if/when Scalley gets the HC job, he’d be a better coach aft…[Read more]

It all depends. We know what Barnes potential is. Maybe Rose/Johnson are at Barnes level yet. But if they will be by next fall, then you keep them. If they won’t be, then keep Barnes.

Does that make sense? I’d keep the higher ceiling guy over Barnes, if they high ceiling guy is improving behind the scenes.

Barnes should be welcome at Utah. Just not on scholarship…unless the season starts and there is an extra one.

We never did. The ball never bounced our way. And the last three games vs them were in Seattle. Never did anything go our way and it always went their way.

Baseball has a stat that finds out how lucky players are. Balls hit that should have been outs but were and the like. I bet if there was a stat of us vs UW, their luck would be through the…[Read more]

Ok…so you can only have 4 scholarship QB’s due to limits. You can’t have a team full of QB’s.

And I don’t know how the coaches feel about Rose/Johnson and their future here at Utah. A part of me thinks that they think Rose is gone because he hasn’t played at all…and we could have desperately used anyone with any pulse at QB. Seems crazy he…[Read more]

I wonder about Pittman. If he wanted to come back, I’d take him back.

Dang. Get better. We need ya.

Yes. This. I’m so tired of playing UW.

I’m ok never playing USC again. We own them and will forever.
I’m glad we get to pay Arizona back next year.

But UW? Those games just suck. From bad calls (no block in the back, roughing the passer on an INT, phantom PI’s, etc) to never having a ball bounce our way (the PAC-12 title game) and so on. They…[Read more]

And this by no means I don’t like Whitt. I love Whitt and want him to coach forever. But you can criticize your leaders and not everyone is perfect and this is a flaw in Whitt’s armor…that and the QB position.

That was a great gameplay by Arizona. We had LB’s out, safeties out, and have struggled at CB. And they attacked all those players.

Can I get on a soapbox and rant a little?

Let’s admit how incredibly stupid Whitt’s “no injuries” policy is. One, it sets up unrealistic expectations for fans. Had we really known about Cam in August, had we known…[Read more]

I mean, we scored and kicked an onside kick in a gam that wasn’t winnable. So, we get what we get. We play until the last whistle blows, so did Arizona.

Maybe next time, Utah shouldn’t get their asses beat so bad.

And I look forward to repaying them next year.

So, I’ll be honest. The only OSU game I’ve seen is the Utah game. And OSU didn’t look good in that game. If we any QB in that game, we win. Johnson was like 8/24 or something awful.

I just wasn’t impressed by them. My knowledge is limited, but if we had 2022 Rising, we would have blown them out.

I mean, they aren’t bad. They only have one…[Read more]

I turned on the game and we were down 10. It was a ton of fun to watch Utah tie the game up. I really enjoyed Utah basketball for the first time since Delon was here.

And then I found out Houston is a top 10 team. That’s crazy how well we played them. It’s exciting stuff.
