Utah Jr.

Get used to it. With the money and the separation of the SEC/Big 10 from the rest of us…they are just better than us.

And the odds of a non-SEC/B1G team winning three games in a row…are pretty close to zero.

Kids don’t play anymore to compete or win or become a legend. They play to make money and go to the NFL. Having a kid wanting to go…[Read more]

I will never fault anyone for doing what is best for them. Never. But this system is utter bullshit. What a fucking joke.

So a kid comes in, gets every opportunity to shine, isn’t great, and then instead of improving and fighting after the coaches and fans backed him all year just bails when he isn’t handed more opportunities?

Cool. Good luck man.

Why is it weird? I don’t care about ND. Indiana is a school that isn’t great.

I mean, do I need to watch to know that ND will win? Hell, I didn’t watch, I don’t know what the final score is, and yet I know that ND won.

Finally, college football isn’t fun to watch. Too many commercials, clock runs too much, takes 4 hours to watch about 15…[Read more]

A real darkhorse?

Well that eliminates ASU, Boise St, Indiana, SMU.

They don’t have the depth to win 3+ games in a row vs blue bloods.

The real darkhorse?

Penn St. They have the easiest path. SMU then Boise? Give me a break. Then they get Georgia after ND gives them a tough game?

But the winner will be Georgia, Texas or Oregon/Ohio S…[Read more]

I didn’t know it was this weekend. I assumed it would start over NYE weekend.

Huh. Guess I don’t care that much.

Going with this…it’s not so much the degree that is better…it’s the networking.

If you go to Cal, sit in your dorm and play video games all day…then your degree is no different than Utah’s.But if you meet people, get off your phone and get to know people…

Then your networking is better at Cal, especially depending on your career and if…[Read more]

I’d recommend he score more points than the other team.

When Whitt won’t allow the QB to throw the ball outside to WR’s, or more than 7 yards unless it’s off play action, you get very easy to defend.

The problem with the offense is Whittingham, because no matter who the OC is, we have the same problems.

Man, I remember those early days in the PAC-12. I’d look at every team in the conference. Who is coming back, who is leaving, who had young players who look like they could be great. I’d rewatch games on the PAC-12 network. Get magazines, listen to podcasts, etc.

USC, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, the Arizona schools…all great…[Read more]

Competition. That is what I want. Iron sharpens iron and all that awesomeness. I want two guys who want to battle it out so if one goes down another is ready. I want two guys who improve all spring and push each other to get better.

The better competition we have, the better football team we will have.

And I want the one who played better to…[Read more]

Yeah, we were rough. One failure of a year out of 20…is not comparable to Arizona. Not even close.

Whitt wants big bruising backs who can run through the tackles. Glover wasn’t that. I hope this fits. I think our last RB coach screwed a lot of smaller backs by convincing them to come here when they just don’t fit what Whitt wants to do.

Credit to Glover for fighting it out here and I hope he excels with Mullen.

What?!? A QB who had time to throw, WR’s open and yet didn’t throw the ball?

OR when he did throw the ball, it was wildly inaccurate?

Who knew SEC teams would want a QB to be able to complete a dump off to a RB before they tossed millions at them?

Weird.

I went through Utah’s roster since 2019 and the only player who would qualify is Jackson. But he was a RS-SR last year for Arkansas so I don’t know how he’d get another year.

But that would be huge for us if Jackson got another year and came back. Absolutely massive.

I think people will be surprised how good our OL looks when we have a QB that will actually throw the ball…

I don’t think you are wrong. And I DO think Utah is in a unique position that we will more often than not be winners vs losers in the portal.

BUT, what sucks about it can be wrapped up in Calhoun. He came for one year, did ok, and now is trying to bail. That is ridiculous.

There needs to be contracts. Sure, you want a million dollars as a QB?…[Read more]

Ha ha. Between Scott Frost and Rich Rod…what’s next? We hire Urban? lololololololololololol.

Honestly…I think this is more a Scalley hire than a Whitt hire. And that is a good thing. Whitt has always gone for a big name at OC, someone, in Whitt’s mind, to take care of the offense while he takes care of the defense.

Dennis Erickson, Norm Chow, Christensen was a hot name from Missouri, Troy Taylor and his iPhone offense.

Beck is a…[Read more]
