Did they accidentally copy/paste last year’s prediction?

If people would actually look into the stories the media tells about Trump and his allies, they would realize just how much the media lies to us.

I was already excited about the Beck hire, but listening to him speak both about personnel and his philosophy have me even more hopeful we got a good one.

At this point, I think he would take it. When he turned it down in 2020, I think he had his heart set on becoming an NFL head coach. Five years later and I think he can see that ain’t gonna happen, so college might be his only shot to be the head man.

This one I could see. Former player and assistant coach there, has a long and mostly successful coaching resume. He doesn’t have the same hype that Deion brought but he is probably the closest they could realistically bring in.

The other candidate I could see would be Jay Hill. Not a splashy hire, but he would be a good hire. And Hill would…[Read more]

Still though, there’s a chance Whit makes an announcement of his retirement. The timing would be weird but since we already had Scalley as the next head coach, I could see Whit staying on as the head coach to help Scalley finish out the recruiting, transfer portal, and coaching hires in an effort to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Becker was only 75% on FGs last year with a long of 48 yards. From what I’ve seen, Curtis can easily match that percentage and will likely beat it. He also has a much stronger leg than Becker. At a minimum, I expect our kicking game to be at least as good as last year, if not better.

Overpaying only hurts them if it prevents them from signing additional players. So far, I haven’t seen anything to indicate this is the case.

This is a win for them and a loss for us. No other way to spin it.

The saying is “Dog eat dog” not doggy dogg.

ASU, BYU, Iowa State, and either K-State or Colorado. Colorado depends on if Deion stays or not.

Hypesman Trophy

If Hunter played for anyone other than Deion, he probably wouldn’t have won. Then again, if Jeanty played for a P4 team, he probably would’ve won.

Hunter: 1,157 total yards receiving & rushing, 15 total TDs, 4 Interceptions, 31 tackles, 11 pass deflections

Jeanty: 2,613 total yards rushing & receiving, 30 total TDs

Jeanty would…[Read more]

Maybe, maybe not. How good of friends are Beck and Scalley. Given the choice between working with your good friend or going back to your alma mater, I think a lot of people would choose to continue working with their friend.

I remember hearing a radio interview he did shortly after his Utah career ended, and he was trashing Utah while praising BYU. Definitely changed my view of him.

Beck: A- Not our first choice, but he might end up being our best choice. Sounds like he will be bringing a dynamic offense with him, and the best part is that he is being allowed to bring in some of his own guys to help coach it.
Detmer: A Have we ever had a dedicated QB coach?
Atuaia: A Good reputation, good recruiter, could be bringing a much…[Read more]

Sincerely, Utah Basketball

Holy lipstick on a pig . . .

It’s not the problem, but it’s part of the problem. The line isn’t always going to be able to make/hold their blocks and you need a back big enough to be capable of getting yards after contact to pick up those tough short yards.

1. I’m indifferent towards BSU, but they have had our number (I believe we are 0-4 against them) and their fans are something else.

2. I don’t hate Harlan, but what has he done to improve Utah athletics, specifically football and basketball? The new South Endzone at RES was already in the works before he was hired. Harlan just put the finishing…[Read more]
