utefansince79 replied to the topic Beck's RPO offense and penalties in the forum Football 2 months ago
That was a big problem here about 5-10 years ago here when Huntley was QB. Would appear ready to run, linemen would start downfield to set up blocks, but he would throw at the last moment resulting in the yellow hanky.

utefansince79 replied to the topic Hunter Erickson in the Starting Lineup in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 months ago
Hunter seems to get on fire a few times each month. Hopefully will have a few of those 80% from behind the arc games in the Big12. Most times he misses most of them but does work hard out there which I appreciate.
That epic game against Arizona last season where missed FTs doomed us was crushing in that not only did we eventually go down after…[Read more]

utefansince79 replied to the topic Basketball was played, part IX in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 months ago
Team has had trouble playing 40 quality minutes. We let 2-9 Eastern Washington hang around far too long (had a dominant start getting up 16 before letting them back to within a basket or two, then a final push in the closing minutes put the Eagles away), and not showing up until after halftime cost us against the Gaels. After what should be a…[Read more]

Lots of players entering the portal from teams that still have game(s) left to play.

utefansince79 replied to the topic Something interesting and also painful I found. in the forum Football 2 months ago
Five games where the offense had one single TD (in one of them a pick-6 and a TD on a blocked punt wasn’t enough for a win, another was against a TCU team that gave up 66 points to their twin-cities rival SMU).

If allegations are true about not getting along with others in the locker room, then best for everyone if he plays somewhere else.

I’m a Packer fan, but would be fun to see the Lions finally make it to the Super Bowl.

utefansince79 replied to the topic Current Transfer Portal – Leaving in the forum Football 2 months ago
Players can opt into the portal to explore offers/opportunities, then return of course.
But NIL is going to greatly increase numbers who transfer out (and who transfer in too).

Highlights (or should I call them lowlights) of Bama’s season include loses to 6-6 Vanderbilt and 6-6 Oklahoma (as well as a respectable loss to Tennessee), and wins over Western Kentucky, South Florida, and mighty Mercer.

utefansince79 replied to the topic Transfers Out? in the forum Football 3 months ago
Many players around the country may be waiting until after the bowl/playoffs season is over before entering the portal, waiting until all teams are done playing and ready to focus on building next year’s squad.

utefansince79 replied to the topic Special Teams and Strength & Condition coaching also need serious attention in the forum Football 3 months ago
ST had a few bright moments including a blocked FG returned or a TD against Baylor, a blocked punt for a TD against the Cyclones, and at least one other blocked FG in other games. But on the other hand inconsistent place kicking cost us dearly at times, our return game was non-existent and we gave up a KO return for a TD against BYU and punt…[Read more]

utefansince79 replied to the topic Reason #638462 Yormark is a hack and the Big 12 sucks. in the forum Football 3 months ago
With lots of teams moving in/out last few years, making a schedule was somewhat tricky. I have the impressions the league wants to move the Holy War to this last weekend.
Also tricky that unlike the PAC12, we don’t have a lot of traditional rivalries. Really just have Utah/BYU, the Kansas and Zona schools. Was chatting with a TCU group on TRAX…[Read more]

Grateful for my dear wife of 39 years.

Grateful for the beauty of our state, and that I live where I can look at the Wasatch Mountains to the…[Read more]

utefansince79 replied to the topic Question for our Cougar Ute hub posters. in the forum Football 3 months ago
Back in the PAC12 with all teams in the Pacific/Mountain time zones, any team could host a game in the late slot (715ish on the West Coast, 815ish for the 4 corner states). So those late games could be spread around.
Now in the Big12, not really feasible for a game to start after 9PM in Texas or after 10PM in Florida/WVA/Ohio, so only teams out…[Read more]

utefansince79 replied to the topic Whitt’s Decision in the forum Football 3 months ago
Not entirely about the money. Kyle had a chance to head to Tennessee (for a ma$$ive pay increase) back in our MWC days but decided to stick around.
But our offense is at rock bottom right now. Two non-offensive TDs weren’t enough last Saturday to earn a win.
Big changes are needed to fix this mess. One offensive touchdown will not be enough to…[Read more]

utefansince79 replied to the topic Your MBB looks better than expected. Madsen is a heck of a shooter. in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 months ago
Gabe was ice cold out in Mississippi (not sure what town/city they played in) but a lot of that was due to Bulldogs focusing defense on him. (Mason caught fire and Dawes had a strong performance but that wasn’t enough). Utah could do well during conference play when the treys are draining, but will struggle when the shots aren’t falling from outside.

I do feel rather badly for Isaac. Very much needed a red-shirt year to learn how to play at the higher level, (didn’t help his brother is in the NFL so there were very high expectations of him).

Utah had a respectable showing in a ‘road’ game against Mississippi State. Other than St. Mary’s in the Hunty in a few weeks and a neutral court games (in South Dakota) against Iowa, really nothing at all challenging before the Big12 games start. (Really wish we had a few more strong opponents in pre-season. One of those used to be against BYU…[Read more]
