Utah Jr.

Weird. Medicine and religion usually don’t mix very well, which is why BYU has stayed out for so long. I’d want to hear more details about this, especially since they are focusing on “international health”. What the fuck does that mean?

I don’t think this affects anything about BYU and sports. BYU is still BYU and the problem BYU has is that…[Read more]

Eh. It’s not that big of a deal. You used to have 85 scholarship players. Now you have 105. That’s 20 more.

Yeah, there are now less walkons. BUT everyone at Alabama will get a scholarship now. Sure, 20 previous walkons won’t be able to go Alabama, but they will still have a scholarship offer somewhere.

This isn’t the horrible story Dabo wa…[Read more]

If we played them early in the year I’d be more worried. They have a very good starting 22, but still lack P5 depth. Come Nov they could be a paper tiger.

Yes. You can only have 105 players. No more. You can give them all scholarships or not. It’s up to you. But you can’t have more than 105 players. Total.

Scholarship and walk on combined cannot be more than 105.

1- Big 12 defenses are awful. Iowa St was the Big 12’s best defense and they were ranked something like 44th. The P12 had 4 or 5 teams ranked higher.

2- OSU’s QB is incredibly average. So we can completely stack the box and force their QB to beat us and he hasn’t shown he can.

3- OSU’s pass defense is bad.

I’m much, much, much more worried a…[Read more]

I’ll say this again:

This is actually good. This limits how many players a team can have. Right now, Nebraska and Georgia have way more players than 105. And ALL are scholarship or equivalent paid players.

They will have to cut those players and get down to 105. Which means those teams will lose talented players they could keep before this r…[Read more]

One of the rules is that there are now a maximum number of players on a team. That’s a good thing.

Also, teams don’t have to give out all 105 (or whatever the number is) of scholarships and I do believe you can do partial scholarships now.

I think this is why you won’t see changes until 2030. There is no need for ESPN/FOX to rush anything. Why get stuck with more Vanderbilt’s and BYU’s and Cincinnati’s when you don’t have to?

FSU and Clemson can just stay in the ACC and come 2028/2029 the tv people can figure out who they really want in their conferences.

There is a close to zero chance FSU and Clemson are leaving their conference to go to a conference with BYU, Houston, Cincinnati, Baylor, etc.

Would we go back to the MWC? Nope. And FSU and Clemson aren’t going to the Big 12.

Go look at Cam’s running. Everyone acts like he runs like Cam Newton or Tim Tebow.

Cam isn’t a running QB. He is a QB that can run. Outside 3-4 games, him running isn’t a part of the game plans. He runs because he can, not because we need him to. What I’m trying to say is, Ludwig doesn’t go into games thinking, “I need Cam to run the ball 10…[Read more]

I don’t know what BYU fan down voted me, but believe me…if we have to switch to Huard…it won’t be a repeat of last year. Huard can do things Barnes and Johnson don’t even dream about doing.

It will just come down to whether or not he knows the plays and if he doesn’t turn the ball over. If he can learn how to go through reads…we win the…[Read more]

I don’t know if I agree with this. We have Cam as our starting QB and he’s another level up. But backing him up we have Wilson and Huard. And it sounds like Huard is taking the #2 spot.

Huard has potential out his ears. He was a 5 star kid.

Now, going into the Big 12…look, it ain’t as hard as the PAC-12. Do we need a 5 star/Rising level QB…[Read more]

I watch all Utah football games.
I have watched every Phillies and Eagles games for as long as I remember. But, I do have two tv’s in my living room, so some days the Phillies game is on above the fireplace and muted while we watch something on the “real” tv or read a book. Or, if I can’t watch a Phillies game, I’ll have it on the radio.
And I…[Read more]

From what I’ve seen, Kansas and Kansas St are the most whiney about us joining the Big 12. My god, they whine about Utah every chance they get.

Yormark is a hack. He’s just been lucky so far. Inviting BYU, Cin, Hou, and UCF was completely stupid of him to do so. They drag the conference down and have all but guaranteed the conference won’t exist in 2030.

The Big 12 was always playing from behind…because their brands suck. So Yormark jumped the gun and tried to keep the conference…[Read more]

Eh. He’s in Oklahoma. They are too worried about conspiracy theories and women taking over and secret child abduction rings and Hillary doing weird shit and Joe Biden’s laptop to pay attention to reality. As long as OSU wins, they don’t give a shit.

Look. It would be so stupid for FSU and Clemson to leave and then join the Big 12. There isn’t one good reason to do so.

One of two things is happening:

1- FSU and Clemson leave to join the Big 10 or SEC.

2- The ACC falls apart and then quickly thereafter the Big 12 falls apart and a new conference is formed with the good teams from the A…[Read more]

If you think Wilson is the future, he’s the backup.

I know the transfers might have changed things, but most round 1/2 QB’s start at some point in their freshmen years.

So, you let Huard and Wilson battle for #2 and the winner is the backup.

Does anyone not remember the WAC-16?

The Big 12 won’t last. First, if ESPN is helping FSU leave the ACC, it’s not to put them into the Big 12 with Houston and UCF and Cincinnati and BYU.

Second, if the tv people want to control everything, the next logical step would be to disband the ACC, disband the Big 12 and the consolidate from there. Eit…[Read more]
