White-Red-White with the Drum and Feather is quite possibly our best combination.

I prefer games played in the evening. Let’s me watch other games during the day and get things done.

Semi-related note, having these Thursday openers has been a great move by Hill. One of the only games on, so good exposure and even more important is getting to have an additional couple of days between game 1 and game 2 to iron out the kinks. I’m…[Read more]

We didn’t lose all of those games. We’ve beaten Michigan, Washington, and Oregon, all on the road. But, we’ve also lost to all of those teams on the road. How many of those losses, or the Florida and Rose Bowl losses, were due to the crowd? I would wager they were mostly due to the other teams being better and/or Utah suffering key injuries in those games.

NCAA consequences should be enforced against individuals as well as the school. If a coach cheats and moves on to a new school, the consequences should follow him to that new school. In Harbaugh’s case, the consequence should be waiting for him if he ever decides to come back to college.

Looks like he’s not too happy about his son’s legal/financial trouble being in the national news on top of the negative press his program has gotten after a bad season.

An OT probably has nothing to do with a DE, but 4/5 star athletes probably draw other 4/5 star athletes.

The hype he is getting reminds me of Yassmin. Tons of athleticism, but raw and inconsistent. Hoping his learning curve can be quite a bit smaller.

Traveling one time zone, either direction, isn’t a big deal. The real trouble is when you travel more than one time zone, either direction.

I think avoiding the noon eastern time slot any time we go East will be good for us.

Football: Utah Football specifically, but I love college football. I’m hoping the NIL, revenue sharing, and transfer portal don’t ruin these things for me. NFL, I watch some every week, but it’s not on the same level as my college interest.

Basketball: The NBA died for me in the early 2000s as the Jordan generation all retired. College basketball…[Read more]

I think Bernard will lead the RBs in targets and receptions, but he will not have the most carries.

Rose and Huard will be 2 and 2A, coach speak for “we need to keep you both here, so please don’t transfer because we designated one of you as 3rd string.” Wilson will redshirt.

If Cam goes down, I think we see Huard come in as the true backup, but Rose will be given a shot to prove himself as well. Unless Huard lights it up, then Rose will only…[Read more]

The top 7 have Cam Rising . . . ?

But how would you feel about being in a western division of the ACC with Cal, Stanford, ASU, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon State, Washington State, SMU, and SDSU?

I like the Big 12, but an ACC like that would be at least as good, maybe even better, assuming the money could be the same or better of course.

They blew it with the luxury seats in the SEZ. That part of the stadium looks empty on TV.

Utah isn’t asleep anymore.

I remember hearing back in 2003, one of the reasons Urban came to Utah is because he felt like we were a sleeping giant. He woke us up and Kyle has built us up, especially during our time in the Pac-12. We aren’t an Ohio State or an Alabama, but we are the next best thing compared to those types of programs.

The Big 12 has several sleeping giants.

ASU has no excuse to not be a good to great football team.

UCF has a lot of what you need, their only problem is living in the shadows of Florida, Florida State, and Miami.

Colorado was big time back in the 90s.

Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU, & Houston are in the same boat as UCF, lots of advantages, but all…[Read more]

Prior to the Scalley “Head Coach in Waiting” announcement, I think Hill would have declined a USU offer hoping for a Utah offer when Whittingham retires. Now that he knows a Utah job offer is off the table, I think Hill would take the USU job if offered.

Neither of those games lasted until 1 or 2 am.

When has a Utah home game ever gone until 1 to 2 am?
