How can you look at yourself in the mirror after that performance???!!!!!
I haven’t seen Utah this bad in the regular season in four years.
This is as bad as the Northwestern, Texas and Oregon Conference championship games.
Better find themselves this week or USC is going to roll us 52-6. 

#7 THEM lost but to an undefeated #14 Ole Miss.
#13 Oregon is dismantling Stanford.
I think Ole Miss jumps us, AND I wouldn’t be surprised to see Oregon jump us as well.
We just have to keep winning as that solves all problems. I only see one or two teams ending the season undefeated.
Alabama/Georgia winner and Ohio State.
I don’t think…[Read more]

Last night after the UW-UCLA game I couldn’t sleep so was watching FIBA women’s basketball US v China. At halftime ESPN went black. 
SlingTV put up a message that Disney didn’t agree to their terms. So ESPN was not available. ESPN knows live sports are valuable so probably holding SlingTV hostage during football season. Man I hate Cable,…[Read more]

It may sound crazy but when I look at Utah’s schedule the toughest game I see left on the schedule is Oregon. However I think we have the best leadup to that game. Stanford, Arizona, Colorado all grouped around Oregon give me hope. 
OSU at home – a challenge
USC at home – a challenge
The only three games I could see Utah taking a loss are…[Read more]

First of all, go John White iV. Set the ball down on the back line. Don’t hope for a call on the goal line. Second, when you’ve got time and the defense doesn’t expect it, RUN THE BALL!!!!!!
Clutch moving the ball down the field, but got to finish.
 

A few stats really stood out to me.
Sacks – 42, I had to do a double take. It really stood out as I think they only gave up 13.
TOP – Utah averaged just a minute more than their opponents. Not sure whether we scored quicker on each drive or the BYU, Oregon St, and SDSU games brought the number down.
Avg score – I think it was 36.1, I can’t…[Read more]

Fox, NBC, and CBS collaborating, sort of, for a triple header of Big 10 football. I just wish the Pac was part of this devious plan. 

NBC reportedly floating bold plan for triple-header of CFB coverage

So what do you think…
Helps of hurts ND’s chances of joining the Big 10?
Helps or hurts…[Read more]

Let’s face it with USC and UCLA’s move they haven’t really screwed Utah and Colorado the newest members as bad as they have Cal, Stanford (maybe), Oregon State, Washington State, Oregon (maybe), Washington (maybe). All teams with a much longer history in the Pac than Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and ASU.
Think about this, even if we don’t make a move…[Read more]

I haven’t heard this discussed but it may be a great option.
The PAC expands in the West and grabs San Diego St, UNLV, which are two remaining top 40 TV markets (size). We have the Bay area and the only possible added markets would be Sacramento, but not sure what team would pull that market (Modesto is included in the market so maybe Fresno…[Read more]

I’ve seen them on RSL, and international soccer jerseys. 
NBA basketball jerseys.
Haven’t seen them yet on NFL jerseys, but I’m sure they’re coming.
What would the NCAA do if a player under an NIL contract put the company’s logo on his jersey. Is that a legitimate use of their name, image, likeness? Or would the NCAA ban it because they are…[Read more]

So the other day on 104.3 the Fan here in Colorado they were talking about how late round QBs are not worth the draft pick. They basically were throwing out stats for QBs drafted after the fourth round and said they were a waste of a pick. They said the only two exceptions were Tyler Huntley and of course Tom Brady. Not saying Tyler Huntley will…[Read more]

I had to watch this video twice cause I was so dizzy the first time.

Get yourself to the Huntsmans tonight!

My daughter’s friend who got accepted to BYU, apparently this is a big celebration this time of year, anyway… her friend tipped her off to this gem.

Zach Keller – ever heard of him?
So my daughter, a senior here in Colorado mentioned one day Zach came to class in Utah gear. She asked him why and he said he was being recruited by Utah. I told her, tell him it’s a great school. Anyway fast forward to the past three weeks. The team at my daughter’s high school, also where my wife works is ranked…[Read more]

The U because of Majerus great basketball teams. I am an absolute huge college football fan, but love a good college basketball game. I watched Purdue against Illinois today, and pined for the days of Majerus, with Miller, Mottola, Doleac, Van Horn, Grant, Jensen, etc.
We’ve had some other good players come through post Majerus, Bogut, Poetl,…[Read more]

Heard this on the news the other day, Jared Broussard is the 18th Buffalo to enter the portal this year.
 

Broussard is the 18th scholarship player from CU to enter the transfer portal since September and the 14th since the season came to a close on Nov. 26. He is the fourth player to go into the portal in the past six days.
Broussard is also…

I’ve been thinking about how this year compares to 2004 and 2008.
2004/2008 we had a lot of things go right. Same QB for the whole year. I also don’t recall any major injuries on either of those teams. They definitely accomplished more than could be expected with those rosters.
2021 – Yes many things went right this year, and I think that is a…[Read more]

So to win that OSU game we would have had to play an almost perfect game.
When you look at overall recruiting rankings which really factor in 4/5 star players here is how Utah did against teams above them.
#3 best roster Ohio State 16 – 5 stars / 49 – 4 stars (48-45 L)
#9 Oregon 4 – 5 stars / 44 – 4 stars (38-10 and 38-7 wins)
#10 USC 2 – 5…[Read more]

As any of you who attended the game in the upper rows can attest those stairs are a bit higher than normal. Each step is I would guess about an inch higher than ones in your home. That may not seem like a big deal, but to an octogenarian Utah fan it was more than he could do alone. I saw him about 10 rows down standing in the aisle. Then I saw him…[Read more]
