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?

Sports belongs to the players? Get real. If it wasn’t for the fans, none of these players would have a team to play on.

Wouldn’t be 3 years in a row. Utah didn’t go to the Rose Bowl last year.

NFL: Bills – Love the uniforms and they were so good back in the early 90s.
NBA: Bulls & Jazz – As has been mentioned, my NBA fandom died when MJ, Malone, Stockton, and the other greats of that era retired.
MLB: Mets & Dodgers

He had a voice that just sounded like what a baseball radio broadcaster should sound like.

I remember hearing someone in the last year claim Utah admin has been made aware by the B1G of what they would need to do to receive a B1G invite in the next round of expansion, and Utah admin is actively working on those items. This would seem to be in line with that claim.

This is true, but if you are entertaining other options, you aren’t going to tell your boss you love it here, and you love your clients, and you and your family plan to be here for a long, long time the way Urban did. Urban was unnecessarily over the top in the way he talked about staying at Utah. That said, you would’ve had to be pretty naive to…[Read more]

Did we not just spend over a decade in the Pac-12 taking money and being cool with other school’s being left out? Will we not continue to do the same thing in the BigXII?

Them being left out of the B1G, ACC, and BigXII had very little to do with what they are and almost everything to do with where they are.

That’s interesting because Harlan’s big thing was supposed to be his fundraising ability. Then again, this is some rando commenting on an article. Could be totally made up.

2020 – Need I say more?

Relegation, on paper, seems like a good idea. In practice, it will be a disaster for everyone other than the blue bloods.

Relegation would create a P5 vs G5 recruiting disparity on steroids. Recruits with options aren’t going to want to sign with a school that is on the verge of relegation or has been relegated. So those schools will become…[Read more]

Along those lines, I would say the one play that changed the trajectory of the program was Marty Johnson destroying his knee trying to get a meaningless record in a blowout of Indiana back in 2002.

Utah started the year 2-0 with wins over Utah State and Indiana. Without Johnson, we went on to lose 6 in a row with 5 of the 6 losses being one…[Read more]

Weren’t those numbers from his Freshman and Sophomore seasons? Those are pretty dang good for someone that young playing for teams that typically have loads of WR talent for him to compete with.

It’s more than just Harlan. Hill couldn’t find anyone either.

Is there a Big 12 network?
