Mine went up 43% last year. Cancelled my 4 seats after 19 years. No regrets. Ended up going to the two games I could actually attend, that I wanted to attend, with who I could bring with me with secondary market tickets. I bought three total tickets. Which means if I renewed, I would’ve been trying to sell or begging people to use 21 tickets. No thanks.

I’ll add getting back a healthy K. Johnson and T. Fotu getting his JC year back would be very helpful as well.

It seems evident that the players in the Rose camp were correct. LOL

For those unsure, tampering involves contacting a player who is not in the portal to lure him into the portal. It isn’t negotiating with a player who is already in the portal. Apparently, it is against NCAA rules, but the NCAA isn’t going to bother policing it because they have lost their power. It also appears that there are coaches speaking out…[Read more]

Were you Uncle and UtelemaHarrington on UteZone? lol.

Yet another sign the college football apocalypse is upon us. With Ward’s decision yesterday, it was abundantly clear what his priorities were. The below order of his priorities are not an accusation, it is a statement of fact based on his choice.

1. Gain an individual record.
2. Preserve health for draft.
3. Help team win game (this is assumed,…[Read more]

All this for a guy who has already been with us for a year and was good enough to produce one catch for four yards against Southern Utah.

Mine is Mr. Greazie Slicktalkerson.

I think this is more about a player agreeing to a certain number of $, making a commitment, and the coaches moving on to the next task. All the while, the player is fielding more offers and gets a better one. I think the U is in a place where if you agree to a deal, they won’t negotiate with you further. They feel your word is your bond and if…[Read more]

I ditched my season tickets last year after 20 years and didn’t regret it at all.

It’s over. I’ve been as optimistic a fan as there is over the years. The Power conference roster we’ve built over the last 15 years is being reduced to a G5 roster piece by piece. Wake me when all the dust settles and we’re either in or out of the club. If we’re out, so am I. If we’re in, I’ll be a slightly more than casual fan that will lean more…[Read more]

One of our former position coaches now at LSU, Bill Busch, was on local radio a couple weeks ago and was talking about QB’s and “processing.” He said it’s the most important skill of a QB and described it as being to see what’s happening in live action and making a quick, correct decision, and executing it. He also said, you either have it or you…[Read more]

This tells me that all we needed was a middle of the road offense to be CFP caliber. Thinking about each loss, this checks out. With a 2021/22 offense, we’re 13-0 and #2 in the final ranking. Just like most that know the program were expecting.

Definitely a non-sensical design. Trick plays should be a counter to something ran earlier. This was not. Also, why wouldn’t you release one of the two blocking receivers in front of the thrower so the non-QB could throw it to his side of the field? Preferably, after you’ve already ran a hitch where the WR ran it. The fact they had him run sooooo…[Read more]

How many Big 12 teams would be 11-1 with Boise St.’s schedule? I think at least four. Likely more.

The biggest nationally-ignored unexplained inconsistency is 1-loss Boise St. being ranked ahead of 2-loss Big 12 teams. They’ve played 1 P4 and lost (Let’s not forget that Oregon did not look great in the first few weeks of the season, so let’s not give BSU too much credit for a close loss). The Big 12 teams are 8-2 vs. P4 teams. If the 3-loss SEC…[Read more]

Yup. It’s way too obvious with the post-reveal narrative. It’s all about scenarios that get Bama in. Will Bama get in, won’t they? It’s embarrassing. Nobody in the country cares about any other teams? This isn’t new either. Every year with the 4-team playoff the narrative was what the path would be for a 2-loss SEC team to still get in.

The PAC 12 bowls are still in contract with the PAC 12. They came to an agreement for the 2024 and 2025 that the contracts would stay in force and the “legacy” PAC 12 teams that left the conference would fill those slots. So in the Alamo instance, BYU would be the Big 12 team, and CU would be the legacy PAC 12 team. Alamo will pick first from…[Read more]

If he wanted to return, I would tell him he can compete for the job with everyone else, BUT there will be no money for him from our NIL. He’s uniquely situated in this market to get “real” NIL on his own due to his popularity. Ya know, endorsements negotiated outside the program with an agent like every other pro athlete does? We’ve given him a…[Read more]

The experienced starters are making $500,000-$600,000 now, which surprised me. If you can have a few successful seasons, they’ll retread you over and over and you’ll end up playing for over ten years for half the teams in the league. lol. Same with the Head Coaches. The same ones just keep bouncing around the league.
