“make it known that they want somebody, they confidently make their pitch, and they let the chips fall and move on regardless.”

I suspect this to be exactly what the coaches are doing. The fans are the ones being a little gross. The coaches are recruiting and will be fine whatever the outcome is. I am sure they want him but I am equally sure…[Read more]

D? Did you see that they won the game?

If Rising has a finger sprain it will not heal quickly if he is gripping and throwing. He will need to be shut down in order to recover properly. QB2 has to be QB1 for preparation.

I don’t think anyone is wanting to judge Wilson’s career or value to the program- people are observing that he has not been good. Which he has not. This is not to see that he won’t be good. But over two games he has played poorly and it is fair to say that this type of play will not be good enough for Utah to achieve the type of season that most…[Read more]

True freshmen are almost never good. Experienced and talented QBs are gold and they are hard to keep in stock. Wilson needs time.

He is awesome- but he is pretty light for traditional RB play. It will be fun to see how Ludwig utilizes him. I hope it does not become predictable but I can’t imagine anyone wanting 180 lb Stanley trying to block 260 lb DEs or 320 lb tackles.

It is also hard to imagine sending his light frame up the middle a lot- at least until I remember John…[Read more]

You are a solid citizen and have my vote.

Just out of curiosity do you purchase all of the products advertised during the game?

As for me- I find watching commercials somewhat less enjoyable than the rest of my life.

I thought Cam looked like his old self. He paced to the sideline with speed and took a run up the middle with a hit at the end. He was never a juke-out type of runner. 5 TDs in the 1st half.

Cam also gets a grade bump for running out on the field to get Wilson’s shoe. That was awesome. I don’t see any grade other than A for Cam.

Wilson looked…[Read more]

B10 and SEC are used to each getting 2 teams into the 4-team playoff most years. Expand by 3x and we are lucky they don’t each expect placing 6 teams into the 12 team playoff.

I guess that is the next step.

Randle seemed destined to move to another position- 6′ 180 does not scream running back.

He has a lot of speed and quickness so I assume secondary or WR would be more natural positions for him. Obviously the coaches have a tremendous record moving players to positions where they can succeed.

Only do you see him sticking at corner?

He has a smooth voice- there is a future in broadcasting if he wants that some day.

Love the talk about why he does not like the Zoobs much. That was fun.

His confidence is awesome. I’m excited for the season.

Whitt moved away from the spread when it was not working and there was talk of him being fired. These days are often forgotten now. He had two 5-7 seasons with poor offensive output and revolving OCs where they were looking for answers. The spread just was not working for the players in the program.

Defenses had no idea what to do with spread…[Read more]

The dude has a great mind. Hope to see him back @ Utah in a coaching position.

1- That our conference opponents will be better than we think they will be while being nationally underrated. Texas has produced a lot of tremendous football players. Football seems to be something of a religion with huge high school stadiums, devoted fans, and well coached players. We have brought in a lot of fantastic yet underrated TX prospects…[Read more]

Yes. It is red and it tastes good.

I am drinking the Kool-Aid and I don’t care what is in it.

It is tough to predict the future. Utah has put a lot of players in to the NFL on the defensive side of the ball an there were a lot of indications that his future was there.

Furthermore, safety has much better longevity than RB so it is not like Utah did him a disservice by playing him at safety.

Hope he makes a nice career for himself in Detroit.

I wonder what a dump-truck-load of cash is- who has a feel for how much he would have to turn down? 500k from Utah and 2m from Oregon? I have no idea.

When looking to blame the chaos of college sports- the ridiculously poor financial management of athletic departments are a fine place to start.

It does not matter whether you are evaluating personal finances, a business, a country, a university, a non-profit, or whatever- if you spend more than you make there is going to be trouble.

Many of…[Read more]

Cali coasts on the laurels of having the most advantageous environment in the country. Management is terrible.
