UTEopia

Kneepkins did not tear her achilles. She broke some bones in her foot. Palmer has had concussion issues and they were aggravated when she tried to play.

Hill went after Few. Harlan went after Few. Better programs than Utah have repeatedly gone after Few. Like Whit, he is comfortable.

Yes, we need to show we aren’t team players so that we are more appealing when everything shifts again. Hell, Oregon and Washington are taking haircuts to join BIGFOX. You can bet the buy-in for super leagues will be significant in amount and duration. Watch the SEC/10 “study group” suggest the buy-in will be $100 mil up front and $50 mil a…[Read more]

Arizona will be tough. They are coming off a bye and we are on the road at OSU.

Jeff Rudy is the individual employed by the Athletic Department involved in attempting to promote NIL donations.

Erickson, Bajema, Lovering and Ben Carlson have each contributed to varying degrees in different games and allow Smith the flexibility to go to the hot hand.

I don’t think the recruiting framework used by the Utes will change going forward. However, I can’t help but believe that the change from the PAC12 to the Big12 in late July resulted in some adjustment in thinking by some west coast recruits. I suspect that Utah will dig deeper in Texas and Florida moving forward. They might also take a look at…[Read more]

This could mean so many different things and I don’t think any of them are positive in terms of the media deal.

I didn’t say I was happy to see him leave. I wish he hadn’t. He could have been the best player on the Utes and I would still see him as a 7 or 8 guy on a legit NCAA tourney team. I think he was actually the sixth guy at Utah until the Madsen injury. Unfortunately for him, he was forced to play the 1, 2 and 3 because Exacte wasn’t ready and…[Read more]

I agree. Frankly, I am surprised that UCLA picked him up. From what I observed over the past two years, he is the No. 7 or 8 player on an NCAA caliber team. It will be interesting to see if he gets more than 15 minutes a night.

There is a post on twitter that reports that Williams made it possible for two young Ute fans who had recently lost their father attend the Championship game. I don’t know how to add the post, but it puts a different light on Williams.

Tickets gone

I think the BYU situation was different from the Florida situation. I did not like the Florida decision because there was no need to chase points at that time. Analytics probably dictated Kyle’s decision, but I had always been told that you do not chase points by going for 2 until you absolutely need to do it to tie the game at the end.

I attended the scrimmage. Johnson did not get any reps with the 1’s or 2’s. They were evenly divided between JJ and Barnes. In a video of yesterdays practice, Johnson was wearing a scout team jersey. Johnson will be better off running the scout team against the 1 and 2 defense than he will as QB3, who gets no reps. Barnes and JJ were pretty…[Read more]

I don’t think Utah can rely on Oregon, Washington and Stanford being in the conference in the future (whether that is two years, six years or ten). The BIG10 media rights are up before the PAC and my guess is the BIG10 will make some decisions on those 3 in the course of those media rights negotiations. Those 3 will put off doing anything more t…[Read more]
