I’m frequently a Ute coach apologist but what worries me about smith is the lack of defensive identity as the season wears on. Allowing 90 points a game every other game is concerning. Is Rollie Worster that important to our defensive identity?

For the TDS game, red and white seagulls attacking and devouring blue and white crickets

All you MF’ers wanted the players to get paid. Now you can sleep in that bed and STFU.

IMO that money belonged to the taxpayers via the school which created the opportunity across 100+ years. Take a parent and have them create a college football team experience with their after tax dollars and tell me the players weren’t getting well c…[Read more]

Of the 11 missed, Deivon missed 5 and Brandon missed 4. Deivon is shooting 60% on the year, Brandon 70%. We do have some better shooters on the team, but we’re not an especially strong team at getting to the rim.

Your assignment is to run 10 “ladders” or “suicides”, then shoot 2 free throws, and repeat that cycle 5 times and report back.

I would say it this way. He’s in his 5th season of playing 20+ games and has progressed in scoring each year except this year. The hope was he would go from 16.4 ppg to 18 or 20 ppg this year but he’s sitting at 16.0 or so. That extra scoring would do more than add points, it would give Utah an identity and a threat that would open the offense mor…[Read more]

Good Point. Chip Kelly had it right. USC and UCLA should have sent Football only to the B1G and left all the other sports back home to play Arizona, Washington, Utah, etc.

I imagine the scheduling will have to change for Stanford and Cal. They’re volleyball team will go play 3-4 games at a time on the east coast rather than travel every other week.

I might have those same feelings if we were playing Wyoming and New Mexico again, but we’re in such a better situation than those old WAC and MWC days.

Interesting. Now, we know how USC and Oregon must have felt about us.

Really? What fkn conference would we be in right now without the BIG 12?

Lomu and Garcia are both rated higher than Finau, and Alderman isn’t far behind, so, I think Utah is set at you OL talent ready or near ready to start.

Yup. It’s like we want to be hated.

Even if he made it, was he going to learn the offense, block his ass off, and be a major contributor really soon? I was skeptical.

I’ve been disappointed by the effort of Brandon Carlson and Madsen on multiple defensive plays and that lack of aggression has spilled over onto their offensive side. Not driving the ball to the hoop, not taking enough shots as the leaders of the team, not forcing the defense to collapse. When your leaders are going through the motions, it’s a pro…[Read more]

I think you’re wrong on all accounts regarding Rising. They went after other QB’s but those QB’s did 10 seconds of research and found out Rising’s doctor said he’ll be ready. What’s Whitt supposed to say? “Oh, never mind, the surgeon and his decade of schooling, pffft, I know better. Come sit behind a 2-time conference champ as our safety valve…[Read more]

I thought Keita and Wahlin looked pretty good. Sophomore and Freshman.
