I’d like to see RB by committee in hopes that they will still be healthy for the playoffs. How many years have we seen a dominant back carry us through a fine season but end weakly due to injuries? That seems to have been a common thread for us.

It is a nice starting spot for us. Win and stay healthy = the formula for being ready to make a run in the playoffs. This could be Utah’s year and the coaches poll position will not hold Utah back.

Yes it was easy if I wanted to pay for the streaming services my family wanted and then pay again for the streaming services that carried the P12n.

The simple fact of the matter was that outside the west, many of the popular streaming services, and every single cable carrier, did not give two shits about the P12n.

Awesome post!

There are so many great memories. Utah took advantage of the opportunity and went from being an outsider to an insider during the P12 days. It was an amazing transition. I am proud of the program not pulling a Colorado.

Being associated with the P12 universities was really fantastic and every game had the feel of being a huge…[Read more]

Our experiences with the P12 network seem to have varied significantly. I live in SEC country and trying to find the P12n was like looking under rocks. None of the major providers carried it. No sports bars or restaurants showed the games. The streaming options my family preferred did not offer the P12n.

I am not trying to say it was impossible…[Read more]

Ha- I must have had USC on my mind.

Utah has always done more with less- at least in terms of recruit stars!

Utah is in a transition period and needs to win to keep the recruiting going. Utah will still be able to recruit elite talent but will continue to be at a disadvantage compared to the USC’s of the world. UCF is in our league and look at their developing class:

*Most avalanche prone in the lower 48. Alaska gets lot of snow, has a lot of steep mountains, and a lot of avalanches. Who knows what is happening in the Himalayas etc.

But yeah- LC is it. Ski paradise. Except for the traffic. Fine point on the timing though- if you get up early enough you can get up the mountain.

Interesting. It just does not seem plausible that Clemson and Florida St. would start this fight without a behind-the-scene landing spot in the B2. If it is likely that they would fight their way out of the ACC to have the B12 as their only option- what would be the point?

Without capitalism there would not be ski resorts or ski equipment and we would not know how to ski. Perhaps you would have some home-made cross country gear. You certainly would not have access to high speed quad lifts and the phenomenal gear we all use now. Blaming capitalism for our recreational frustrations rings a bit empty.

The Olympics were a lot of fun the first time around. Big productions and an incredible vibe being the center of world’s attention.

If I were to be a Debbie downer- the Olympics started the era of overcrowding in SLC ski resorts. Traffic in Little and Big Cottonwood is a mess. Parking reservations have improved things a bit but it is still a far…[Read more]

Keeping Cam in the pocket is not necessarily going to prevent injury. His knee was a non-contact issue. If there were an algorithm for effective and injury-free QB play, everyone would use it and there wouldn’t be any injured QBs. We will take our chances like everyone else.

Very few teams have elite and proven backups. At this point with NIL…[Read more]

That is a nice story. Fiction at this point. Hopefully it will turn out that way.

Utah football
USMNT soccer (painful- so long Greg)
Some NFL
Everything else is some casual attention but not much

I am hyped. That was good.

Fun watch. Thanks for posting.

We Ute fans have done plenty of belly aching about our WRs. I’d love to see one of the two 4* receivers signed last year show out as a tremendous threat as a freshmen.

Stay healthy boys and the sky is the limit.

I don’t think the leagues have a mechanism to remove schools- so when it is ready to happen it will likely be new organizations that can invite who they like.

Fine points.

The preseason picks are fun and can generate buzz for recruiting- but should not be taken seriously as an actual prediction in any way. I think we have all at some time felt that Utah plays better as an underdog. It will not help the team to go into the season feeling like favorites.

I have no doubt that there will be some tough…[Read more]
