Good work tomahawk

Utah’s gigantic recruiting and portal class may be considered an overhaul, and I feel the coaching staff deserves the benefit of the doubt. Their response to the Ty and Aaron tragedies was absolutely textbook on how to get through something that terrible the right way.

The past two seasons have been poor, but the majority of players showing what…[Read more]

Whoever the new person is, I just want to have butts in seats. The revenue sharing program coupled with the of new students since 2022 will hopefully help. I’m about as good at collegiate athlete economics as the next couch GM, but this program seems stuck and in desperate need of any enthusiasm to get finances, recruiting, etc. going again.

You’d be hard pressed to find another team who started ten (I think) QBs the past two years. I’m okay with a recruit who gets dinged for a slow 40 because he has obscenely thick and durable joints in his knees and ankles.

As we’ve learned the last few years, preseason rankings mean jack sh*t. If Utah stays healthy, we will be fine.

Defense has earned the benefit of the doubt. My therapist says the offense from 2024 was actually just my imagination and any mention of it or something about TCU in 2010 should be ignored. I don’t care what the offense looks like, just as long as we don’t have to sit through another year of run for 2 against an 8 man box, run for 3 against a 7…[Read more]

Portal could actually be fun if there was any transparency. Would I read into it? Probably not. But at least the figures would be out there. Players wouldn’t get absolutely shafted like that Rashada kid with the Florida collective, and fans would get to see things like Cam was paid like 50 grand to appear in three MACU ads, Ryan Smith is naming…[Read more]

Repeat after me:

I.

“I”

Will not drink the kool-aid until the season starts.

“Have had a small sip”

Dammit

I think it’s best if everything happens in that first second. Alabama ran it extremely well (the four first round WRs, first round RB, and three starting NFL QBs on the roster may have helped) because Tua would either hand it off or immediately fire it to a WR. Offensive lineman might get downfield… but the ball is gone by their third step.

Not disagreeing, but any idea on what the time of possession or average starting field position stats are? Utah has had a good record over this time frame, and teams like Michigan, Wisconsin, Stanford, LSU, Michigan State, Wisconsin again just cause I love me some fullback, and even Bama have had less than exciting offenses for periods of time in…[Read more]

Well.. I’m old…

I wholeheartedly reject the short-term-memory, “what have you done for me lately”, rats jumping off of a ship when they feel a drop of water idea that this staff is inept. The thing about riding or dying is that sometimes you’re riding, and sometimes you’re dying. It’s important to realize you have to give your confidence and support through both.…[Read more]

Yeah that sucked. A lot. The failed fourth down knowing Cam couldn’t plant and throw past the sticks was a big coaching blunder. Linebackers are also making uncharacteristically poor decisions; injuries have hurt the position but Lander made a few odd mistakes that hurt us. Jonathan Hall has the physical talents, but he looks to still be getting…[Read more]

Paraphrasing, but I remember Saban saying something along the lines of “nobody wants to win more than they do, and nobody feels worse than when they lose”. I try to imagine how nervous I’d be trying to do my job in front of 55k people in person and another few million at home, then add that Hercules Mata’afa dude chasing you the entire time. Or…[Read more]

This still has the makings of a very solid class. Aaron Dunn is an excellent commitment. Remember that these are kids making a decision they’re very excited about, and can take them from a terrible situation to one which they’ve been working their whole lives towards. I feel it’s important to focus on the positive instead of the negative.…[Read more]

USC looks like the favorite, but it would be very nice to have him. Utah has a reputation of being a physically tough team to play. In the past that has resulted in consistency and reeling off some wins against some VERY talented rosters. Ironically… like USC. Same blueprint worked for Wisconsin vs Miami, Iowa vs USC, and even Michigan vs…[Read more]

With all of the sh*t he went through, and how he handled it so well, I hope nothing but the best for him.
