Not to be a contrarian, oh yes I do. I don’t see Colorado moving back to that conference. Colorado would need to be replaced. Colorado never really fit in the Pac, and honestly they couldn’t wait to bolt to the Big 12. Big hat, no cattle. Prime needs to really show out this year, not just in the first five games of the season.

Sadly BYU is an…[Read more]

Ellis, Singer, and another singer Luke Bryant… never mind.

Am I seeing this right? Nine conference games, PLUS Baylor as a non-conference?

What has happened? Certainly not as tough as nine Pac-12 conference games, but really nine?

I’ve been thinking this all December. I watched one half of a bowl game. The first half of the Utah game. Had a family activity planned in the second half and made the right decision.

With the portal and NLI, bowl games are meaningless. I mean much more meaningless than before.

I’m interested to see what happens next year with a 12 team playoff.…[Read more]

I think the play was the perfect combination for the defense. Ball thrown high, defender has no reason to try to catch it or keep it inbounds. The receiver has to get a foot in, and had a decision to try to go up and come back down in bounds or just toe tap. Looks like he went for the toe tap.

I think the defender got up, stayed up, the hand on…[Read more]

I see things a bit differently. If I recall correctly, he was made the “starter” during week(s) he was still splitting reps with Cam up until Thursday or Friday. Sure he was technically the starter… but wasn’t given starters reps for the entire week(s). It’s hard to argue with the logic he wasn’t provided ample development and reps looking at…[Read more]

Sent you a message about the tickets. I’m checking with my daughters.

Alex Smith…

LOL, just thought I’d answer. Would love it if we have an Alex Smith hiding in our QB room.

One could argue Utah has been the best Pac12 football program over the past six years. Four conference championship appearances, two rose bowls and ranked in so many CFP rankings.

Who compares to that in the BigXII?

I think TCU fans really should be the barometer here. I went to the TCU-Virginia game back in the late 2000s, and had some great conversations with their fans. They expressed frustration with having been left behind when the SWC closed shop. They were glad to be in a conference with Utah which was helping them back to their road to being relevant…[Read more]

Put me in the ticket consideration line. Two of my daughters will be in Utah. They might want to go to an early Saturday game.

Let me know if anyone has tickets. They may or may not be available on short notice.

Cautiously optimistic.

I see four options with Cam.

1. He transfers and becomes public enemy #1 to Utah fans and boosters.

2. He stays here and plays no where near where he did in 2022.

3. He hangs up his cleats and comes on as a GA, or just goes his own way.

4. He comes back, leads Utah to a Big XII championship and we are all happy.

Obviously the last one is the…[Read more]

Keller graduated with my daughter. He helped his team win twice State championships. He seemed to show up at clutch moments, or when teams pissed him off. Otherwise he played casual. He was not the gritty defensive player. Surprised he played as well as he did tonight. Had his best game to date for WF.

Not a bad kid, just never really had to do…[Read more]

I think it all started when they fired Frank Solich for a 9-3 season in 2003.

Changing coaches/conferences isn’t always the best solution.

Yes, several in chat pulled their hair out.
