Trailgoat replied to the topic My thoughts on last night's game in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 years, 2 months ago
Agree. A bunch of Frosh and some Sophs beating Kentucky is something Utah would never have been able to do in the past. There is a lot of talent on this team. No problem with the slow game if executed well. Coach K controlled the tempo. Props to Calipari traveling out West to play Utah. It’s good for the game and his team will be better for it.…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Oregon upsets @Michigan in the forum Pac-12 5 years, 2 months ago
That’s how a team punches a ticket to the March dance before conference play starts. It is fascinating how one guy with a ton of money can single handedly build a college empire. I still think the filming of Animal house put UO on the map haha:)! The school location is wet 150 days of the year and UO is academically at best very meh. I get the…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Here’s why I think Utah beats Texas in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
No disrespect. Make Ehlinger pass? His rushing yards are part of the package not the focus of the offense. The dude has close to 3500 passing yards and 29 passing TDs this season. Problem is losing JJ and JB now opens the other half of the field. Hubert out does not help. JJ pretty much locked up one side of the field shrinking the area of pass…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Anybody else relate? in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
IMO, going to the Rose Bowl is better. LSU would of torched Oregon. I don’t recall off the top of my head who the 4th CFP teams have been over the past few years.
The P12 football operations, schedule, structure, TV set-up, officials is beyond poorly managed. P12 is it’s own worst enemy. The way it’s run is a huge barrier for program success.…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic NFL bound players playing in a bowl in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
I have no problem with it. These guys with talent have a small window of opportunity to make it and every draft position is a huge difference in payout. Injuries at this point could be a virtual career killer. Not fair to question any of these guys for not being team players if they decide to not play.
The, I don’t like the school I signed up…[Read more]

May want to take a look at Wisconsin’s commitment list before you make these claims. Per 24/7, UW has the 26th ranked recruitment class. Several four star recruits committed. In the hunt for a couple other top ranked players. Utah is no where near UWs recruiting at this point.

Trailgoat replied to the topic Cotton Bowl Chances in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
Cotton Bowl is a no win situation for P5 teams. Better off playing in the Holiday bowl especially if JJ, Moss, Anae, and other NFL bound Senior players pass or play sparingly in the bowl game. Already down to the 3rd string Safety.

Trailgoat replied to the topic I really thought Utes were going to comeback in the 3rd in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
The missed 4th down on the first drive was a killer. I am perplexed why so many team do not use the QB sneak especially now that players can push from behind.

Trailgoat started the topic Honest question regarding Oregon and Recruiting in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
Looking back to their history Oregon’s path is similar to Utahs with of course being in the P12. One constant back to the Belotti years is they have consistantly recruited top-level 4-5 star level players across the board. They have a clear defined brand and I get the Phil Knight money tree. Eugene is a cloudy moss pit so it’s far from an…[Read more]

Unfortunately I think Utes might be headed to the Vegas bowl.

Rep the P12 in the Rose Bowl. Great season for Utes. Better team won tonight.

Trailgoat replied to the topic Ducks in no lose situation tonight in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
Or, a not that motivated after the ASU loss. Coaching from the couch….Utes need the ASU/OS version of Oregon to show up. If the Utes are as good as advertised and are at the level of competing with the top 4 teams, this game needs to be a two score win. Oline looked awful with run blocking last week. My only concern is they get pushed around…[Read more]

Trailgoat replied to the topic Bama only -3.5 against Auburn. in the forum Football 5 years, 3 months ago
Yeah, the ASU win was solid and Utah turned the ball over three times in that game. Other than a couple of garbage time runs, ASU’s offense was completely shut down.

Trailgoat replied to the topic Local highly-rated recruits in the forum Football 5 years, 3 months ago
Don’t forget to mention Coach Dennis Erickson. I highly doubt any of the Florida kids blink at Utah without his recruiting work in Florida. The offensive recruiting has dropped off significantly since he departed.

Trailgoat replied to the topic Why no letdown this week or next? I trust this team more than any except 2004… in the forum Football 5 years, 3 months ago
Yup…Worried Fan Syndrome (WFS). UofA is completely out manned in the trenches and many other places against Utah. Utes have to stop fumbling and slow down Tate and JJ. 7 fumbles in the last four games. Being nit picky of course. Game outcome is all on Utah.

Trailgoat replied to the topic Well….our playoff chances are improving! in the forum Football 5 years, 3 months ago
Of all games for an upset, this UofA game would be it. On paper, Utes should crush UofA. Tate is a wild card and playing to their potential, UofA can score points. All the pieces are in place if the Utes turn the ball over and pull one of their WTF magic tricks and not show up. Not saying it’s going to happen as UofA is a hot mess.

Rose Bowl win. Everything happening now up until the Rose Bowl or CFP is huge for the program. Utes need to finish these last three games strong.

USC appears to be the under performing game. If you told me 10 years ago losing to USC in LA was a WTF loss I would of spit up whiskey :).
Anything can happen of course over the last three games. Seems this team is so mature and dialed in to the goal the next three games will be about managing playing time to minimize wear and tear on the…[Read more] -

This team seems different and special, all the more reason KW will cure the other demon of a WTF/head scratching loss. Based on what we’re saying, Utes will only get better. Love how TH said in the UW post game interview, “back to work”.
