There you go, Lasso. That better?

That ignore feature works great. I like MD. If nothing else, dude is one hell of a dedicated Ute fan.

I say build from the portal from here on out. If I’m a coach, why would I take a chance on a kid that needs development only to have him jump to one of the big 2 conferences once he’s a solid contributor? It doesn’t make any sense.

That made me laugh, Utah. I wish it were an overreaction, but it isn’t. By the way, you forgot one: be sure to get those Crimson Collective NIL donations in so we can keep the players we already have!

Speaking of cougars…

Don’t feel too bad for them. If things keep going like they are with the 2 super-leagues, we’re going to be the new Utah State.

It’s just like everything else BYU. People are fine with having them visit, but then they want them to get the hell out.

Can I add one?

6) This season has really done nothing to pull us fair-weather fans back in, and this program desperately needs us. I know, catch-22 here, the program needs all of the support and fan excitement it can get in order to attract quality players. I’d hate to be Harlan right now.

This is one of the biggest disappointments in this “new and improved” college football world. I loved bringing in an off-the-radar kid that we’d throw in the weight room for a year and then he’d grow into being an NFL draft pick. Those stories will be there, but they’ll be scarce.

What have they done to this beautiful sport? It’s gut-wrenching.

Am I the only one that thinks these cryptic posts are lame and dickish? I mean, half the time they turn out to be what someone had for lunch or something. Luckily, I’ve gotten to where I ignore them until whatever news it is officially comes out.

GREAT post, Ute Dub. This sums it up for me too. It’s absolutely possible to be horribly disappointed and saddened by the demise of the Pac12 AND to be grateful for the opportunity the BigXII has extended to us. These feelings are not mutually exclusive.

MD is a good dude. He’s just frustrated, like a lot of us.

The whole state of college football is depressing. They’re tearing it down brick by brick. It’s horrible.

C’mon, MDUTE, I read all of your posts and they’re great. But this post…ya, you’re better than that. There’s an element of Utah fan that’s in for a shock at how competitive this league is going to be. These boys actually care about football. MD, go ahead and save this receipt and we’ll revisit it in December to see who was right. I will…[Read more]

Beautiful powder wake!

My limit is when USC talks Rising, Kuithe, & Barton to coming down to L.A. and the Big Ten to join a super-team. We’ve been on the positive side of this NIL and transfer portal thing so far.

Something tells me our O Line is magically going to look a lot better too…

Like you, Eagle, I don’t watch much NFL, but I did see that play on Nacua, and he was mugged a couple of different ways. It was unbelievable. I was wondering to myself how Pac12 refs were able to call that game. Side note: I know he played for the TDS, but Nacua is a baller. Good on him for an amazing rookie season. He and Kincaid both…[Read more]

Boom! This is the one I’ve been waiting for. I hope he’s near 100% come fall.
