The players looked like they were having fun and enjoying things.

Hope a lot of Utah fans (in particular the students) come out and cheer loudly Saturday.

Among my proudest Ute moments were watching Cam dive into the end zone in the closing minutes to beat USC and then beating the Trojans again in Vegas to win another PAC12 trophy.

But time to clear the way for another leader at QB.

Had that rare time when a Ute player (Dawes) was having his way against an opponent with no answer for him. (about 4 dunks in a few minutes)

But he came out during a time out and seemed to be getting a lecture from the coach.

Need a team that performs well to draw a crowd and need a good crowd to motivate current players to play well and encourage recruits and potential coaches to come (as well as encouraging NIL $$$$).

Right now team performing poorly, small crowds, virtually zero student support, and limited NIL funds. I fear the decline will continue for some time.

Made a big difference when sections A-F (and AA-FF) were the student sections, filled below the concourse for most games, and packed to the top for BYU, UTEP, Wyoming, New Mexico, and others. Compared to now where the band often has more members than the rest of the students.

Hunter works his tail off out there, but for each game he lights it up for a handful of threes, has a few others where his shots are falling and has a high number of turnovers.

(Same goes for a number of players on this team)

So let me get this straight. Harlan gets reprimanded and fined by the league for angrily commenting on officiating after the Holy War but OK for the commissioner to do the same?

The pre-season predictions of a dead-last conference finish seem pretty right to me at this point.

Starters are 2 of 16 from the field late in the first half (12.5 percent)

National League pitchers (before they finally added the DH rule a few years ago) usually had higher batting averages.

All about the $$$$

Fuck money

Singer was a great play-maker and it’s unfortunate he had one lone TD. If he has a good QB throwing the ball and a few other quality receivers running routes (so opponent has several targets they need to focus on) has the potential for great numbers should he stay.

I generally don’t boo my teams (no matter what the playing level). But does indeed change things when ‘student athletes’ are now essentially professionals and many are looking for a better offer every season.

I still won’t boo, but am becoming much more understanding and tolerant of those who do.

Like to see someone like SMU, Indiana, or ASU win the whole thing (still can’t pull for Boise in any situation). But fear we’ll likely see Georgia against Oregon or Texas in the final.

Sort of like March Madness. I hope to see a small humble mid-major win the title but we inevitably see teams like Duke, Carolina, Ashley Judd U, Kansas, etc.…[Read more]

Indiana vs. Notre Dame intriguing as it is an in state battle between a long time power and an outsider having a great year at the right time.

But so much to get done for the holidays, may not be able to closely follow any of the playoff games and the Running Utes have a good matchup Saturday too.

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.

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]

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]

Well he isn’t leaving for lack of playing time.

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

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).
