There is no debate when it comes to medical marijuana. How can we be ok with narcotics, including morphine, and not be ok with marijuana? 
It’s stupid. It’s old, white guys “who know best” trying to control things. 
When it comes to medical marijuana, hell, marijuana, use your brain.
There is no intellignet argument against medical…[Read more]

Since joining the PAC-12, these are the average scores vs BYU at halftime, at the start of the fourth quarter and at the end of the game:
Average score at halftime: 17-7
Average score at the end of the third quarter: 24-10
Average score at the end of the game: 30-18
BUT, that is misleading because of the 2011 beat down. If we toss out that…[Read more]

On Whitt as Utah’s OC, as many claim:

I never saw Whitt. He told me to go to work and I worked. He’d talk to me about situations during the game, if he liked the tempo or whatnot, but every coach does that. During the week, Whitt left me alone. I’ve not heard he treats anyone else differently.

On Saban/Whitt’s philosophy of protecting the…[Read more]

Man, I can’t freaking wait. 
I actually think the best move here is Harding to Assistant Head Coach. 
If Whitt stayed 3-5 more years then retired, I’d want Harding as our next HC. Great move to potentially groom our future. 

HC – Whitt – as long as he wants

OC – Harding

QB – I like that Taylor idea. 

RB – Fred Whitt

TE – Harding

OL – New OL coach/Tim Davis

Keep the defense the same. 

ST – Whitt

I give full reigns to Harding. Taylor comes as only the OC becuase we were paying ARod and Erickson over $900,000 last year. Taylor gets PAID. Hell, throw $300,000…[Read more]

Please, please, PLEASE…do you have a Tyler Huntley every play from the bowl game mix?

Whitt – keep the man as long as he wants to be here. 9 wins is ALWAYS a great year in a P5 conference, especially when you end up ranked and win your last game. 
ARod – It’s time. Let’s part ways with ARod. There isn’t room for him. We need to get better, and he is the weak link. 
OC – Harding. Give him the job alone or allow him to Co-OC with…[Read more]

Here are how my grades play out: 
A+: Any 11+ win season
A range: 9-10 win season
B range: Any 8 win season
C range: Any 6-7 win season
D: no bowl game
 
Now, I know that by my rankings, Utah should have an A grade, but the way they finished the season drops them down to a B+. 
I think one thing we need to do as fans is re-adjust our…[Read more]

His punt returns end in one of three ways:
1 – No fair catch, he gets his ass handed to him.
2 – He runs straight into a defender and gets his ass handed to him.
3 – He runs backwards 10 yards and gets his ass handed to him. 

Remember, bowl practices are like an extra spring ball, so I’d expect some players to take steps forward.
1 – Troy Williams take a big step forward. He’s been here a year now. He’s had spring ball, fall camp, the season and now bowl practices. He is a big time talent. 
2 – Zach Moss. This game is irrelevant to Joe Williams and his future. Joe’s…[Read more]

1 – Bowl prep gives you extra practices (there are no limits to how many or how few practices you hold. You can only do 20 hours a week and four hours a day). Spring ball limits you to 15 practices. That means that bowl prep practices can actually be the same if not more prep time than spring ball. That is HUGE. So, I expect some big jumps from…[Read more]

I have some thoughts on why our fanbase is so fragmented when it comes to message boards, and why there are so many smaller, struggling boards: 
We have a weird fanbase that has an even weirder rival. And that weird rival is weird due to their religion (my religion). So, the weird rival has built up this fantasy where Utah fans all hate mormons…[Read more]

The NCAA will vote to allow teams to hire another coach. 
I’d wait until that vote happens. If/when they vote to expand the coaching staff, I’d hire a QB coach. 
Let this OC duo have a full season with the same QB. Troy was hurt all of spring ball. Let’s see what they can do with a real QB coach, real QB depth and some continuity. 

Right now, all the scuttlebutt on CB is BYU-P getting invited to a second bowl game, the Holiday Bowl. 
It’s great. One person over there makes an ass backward statement, then someone repeats it. Then someone knows someone that has an inside source and then there are polls and by Sunday BYU-P fans will be buying tickets to the Holiday…[Read more]
