UTEopia

The only thing that scares me about this week is that it is a day game and I always feel the Utes play better at night.

After looking at the replay, I have to disagree. The 2nd Int was trying to do too much. He had a wide open Lohner at the 5 and tried to go to a guy that had 2 guys on him and then the guy who was 5 yards off Lohner dropped back and picked it off. He will learn to take the easy throw and let Lohner work like Kuithie did for his TD.

Wilson will be fine. I noticed that he actually called a couple of audibles. Uncanny that he can do that as a freshman.

I have two NEZ seats that I will not be using. I know you want 6, but if you can’t find 6 together, my cost was $75 each.

I watch Utah basketball and enjoy the Utah olympic and women’s sports. I got into soccer on an LDS mission to Spain in the 70’s and enjoy RSL and Euro Champions League and European Cup. Spain won again this year, so that was great for me. I like playoff hockey. I might turn on an NFL game if a former Ute is playing, but other than the…[Read more]

Next to OK St, the UCF game is the one that scares me the most. UCF will be good. Friday night kickoff and a cross-country trip.

In most years, Utah football uses the run to set up the pass but I think it will be the other way this year. I believe we have the best WR group since the Sugar Bowl season, but both the run and the pass will require a better showing from the OL. If the OL does their job, both should be fine.

As for getting to opposing QB’s, I think the best…[Read more]

Tim Skipper, a well regarded coach and Fresno alum, is the interim coach. McBride’s SIL, John Baster is on the staff.

He looks stiff and slow to me. A bit of a project.

We currently have 8 scholarship players. I suspect the Peat kid who played a little as a true freshman a year ago might be given a scholarship. Still need some guys.

2016 – Utes finish 9-4. Lost on road to Cal when they had 4 shots inside the 5 and Zach Moss failed to follow Isaac Asiata into the hole. Moss would still be running had he hit the hole. Utes lost to Oregon after scoring go ahead score, Oregon takes the ball downfield with less then 1 minute and Carrington makes amazing TD catch. Utes lose at…[Read more]

I don’t think he adds needed depth.

Blair, Anae and Tony Bergstrom were on the list of Ute footballers receiving their degrees from the U last week. Good for them for coming back and finishing school.

I just don’t know how a contract will prevent unrestricted NIL. I’m guessing you could have a non-compete that could try to limit the portal, but those are narrowly construed. The only way I can see a return to some type of normalcy is through Federal Legislation, but even that would be problematic.

Burgess made a smart move. He is leaving a program that has an HC who will be gone next year and joining a coach with a 7 year deal.
I don’t see Burgess as the next HC at Utah whether he had stayed or left. You don’t promote an assistant in a losing program to HC of that program.
Utah basketball is as dead as it could be. I wanted Giac, Boy…[Read more]

I can’t imagine Dart being at Ole Miss after next year. One at USC and 3 at Ole Miss. if he isn’t in the NFL, something will have gone wrong for him.
