The games aren’t great this week, but there’s a couple of games involving some of our former WAC & MWC foes that will certainly quench my thirst for college football.

Hawai’i @ Colorado State
Wyoming @ New Mexico State

First of all, let me say that if I had my way we would drop BYU from all future schedules, or at the very least, limit games against them to a couple of times each decade.
Now, having gotten that disclaimer out of the way, I have to say – Utah and Colorado have a distinct scheduling disadvantage compared to the rest of the Pac-12. We are the only…[Read more]

If you missed this epic comeback from last year, the Pac-12 Football in 60 version is airing on the Pac-12 network right now.

They are just over half way through the countdown, having released #29 today.

So far, it is an even split for the lead between Utah, USU, and BYU each with 10 players on the list. Weber State has the other 2.

Looking at who they have listed for Utah so far, and who is not listed, I’m thinking it is very likely Utah ends up with 25 or 26 players…[Read more]

Is @Onlyu really Kyle Whittingham?
I’m mostly joking here, but dang, this guy has some great inside info.
I always get excited when I see a post from @Onlyu. 

They are obviously still friends and any time I have heard Kyle talk about Kalani as the HC at BYU he mentions something along the lines of ‘Kalani is a great coach and they are going to win a lot of games while he is there.’ Maybe he believes that or maybe it is just PC coach speak. I don’t know.
With how poorly BYU performed last year, and how…[Read more]

Other than Utah’s games, which annual Pac-12 matchups do you always try to watch?
I like watching just about any Pac-12 matchup, but there are 5 that I go out of my way to try and watch:
Colorado vs CSU – I’ve been watching this game since the formation of the MWC.
USC vs UCLA – Intense rivalry in sunny SoCal that I just like to watch in late…[Read more]
