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]

I think a lot will depend on whether the P2 expand or whether the new league starts from scratch. Take Vanderbilt’s exclusion as the certainty that many assume- Vanderbilt is a lot like Stanford. Elite school, elite endowment, elite location, less-than-elite athletics. Yes Vandy is somewhat less elite than Stanford and TN has 10m people while CA…[Read more]

Travis won a lot of games for us. He was not a perfect QB but those are awfully rare and are not going to transfer to be a depth piece.

Truth. It is easy to look back and feel like current players are just better than those of the past but I don’d buy it. ’08 was stacked. One of the keys to ’08 and ’04 was lack of injuries. Tell me that the same dudes start every game this year and I’ll drink all of that Kool-Aid I can get. You just can’t predict that.

As for ’04, it is easy to…[Read more]

Being included in the P2 leagues, whatever they are called, would be an incredible destination and really the ultimate progression. MWC to P2, leapfrogging every PAC10 team other than USC, UCLA, Oregon, Stanford, and Washington, seems almost more than could be hoped.

If I were to be skeptical of this dream, I would point out that a lot of…[Read more]

I’m sure all of the irresponsible people will start acting responsibly because of the big statue.

No way we can sing Utah man any more. No way. just way too controversial.

It is Utah fan now.

That is a really interesting idea. Andre could be a fantastic coach. Does he want to work hard though? I’m sure he has plenty of resources to do whatever he wants. If he has the fire to compete as a coach he could do some damage.

Piss on the lot of you. I wish Mikki Kane-Barton had 5 sets of twins. We would have won a few national championships by now.

Come to Utah Lose. You will love it!

Agree!

Cam was effective because he could move the ball and passing was a big part of this. Just stay healthy and the sky is the limit.

For what it is worth, I thought Cam’s throwing motion was still a bit janky at that point. I’m not sure that he was completely healed.

Mixing a prolific passer with a mandate to not throw interceptions is always going to be unpredictable. The Brewer games were pretty ugly but they gave Cam more time to recover.

Cam being healthy enough to do…[Read more]

Add some but take some away. I thought Deivon was an awfully important part of the team, made good decisions, and could make things happen in the offense. If we had kept him I would feel the program to be on an upwards trend.

Without Deivon, wait and see.

I bet Smith would look a lot smarter if he had better players. The problem is he does not seem to be very good at getting better players on campus. That is obviously a serious problem.

Not being able to win an away game is also a real bummer.

Fingers crossed but expectations are pretty moderate for me.

I don’t think Cam was healthy enough to start over the Baylor transfer.

Predicted by 247 to be a 1st round draft pick. Um, yes please. I don’t think I’ll hold my breath for this though.

Great news. In terms of whether Huard fits Ludwig’s schemes- Ludwig knows how to utilize the skillset of the players he has. The playbook might be different for Huard than for Rising but if Huard can make the right decisions and deliver the ball accurately, Lud will make that work.

This pickup seems as good as we could hope for in terms of…[Read more]

Exciting year. And the B12 is looking good preseason with 5 of the top 25 teams according to Klatt. It would be so fun to get in the tourney and do some damage.

The pieces are there but much comes down to staying healthy. A few key players going down could make us very pedestrian.

Matt Gay has the 2nd highest 3yr average salary at 5.9m/yr and the 3rd highest guaranteed money at 13m. Very impressive career for our former walk on. He has put in a lot of hard work to make it happen and I’m happy for him.

These stats are interesting to peruse. In terms of money it is QB and then everyone else.…[Read more]

I loved Utah being in the P12 and having somewhat moved on from the BYU rivalry. Utah’s program made big strides during this time and it sucked to see it die.

Utah has little choice other than embracing their current conference mates and that includes BYU. I expect the rivalry to have a resurgent presence in the program’s sphere of influence.…[Read more]

The biggest problem I have is the federal facilitation of large rates of student debt. The feds have ensured all students access to these loans which has naturally fueled elevation of cost to the student. The debt students are incurring is not reasonably serviceable for many graduates. This causes significant hardship and now the feds are in the…[Read more]
