He’s 10th in the nation in scoring – I don’t mind him missing a dunk or two if the threes keep dropping. 🙂

not trying to bag on the kid……but this is a very clear indication of where the utah bball program is. how things have digressed over the years.

Every kid gets a trophy generation, unrestricted transfer portal, huge gaps in conference membership value, large booster/donor disparities, a worthless NCAA with no backbone, and no tampering transparency or accountability among the different schools.

What could go wrong?

I don’t begrudge these college athletes from trying to “get theirs” while…[Read more]

Great post. Please contribute more at your convenience.

I think we all saw for ourselves that B12 officiating is the definition of “whim”.

Revenue sharing and NIL are two separate issues. Some people conflate the two because they both involve players getting paid, something that was strictly verboten under the previous system. But you’re right, the next step is revenue sharing and players becoming employees of universities. I believe that’s the end of the line in college athletics…[Read more]

That was a big problem here about 5-10 years ago here when Huntley was QB. Would appear ready to run, linemen would start downfield to set up blocks, but he would throw at the last moment resulting in the yellow hanky.

Well, you’re not wrong. As I understand it, what NIL is supposed to do is allow players to capitalize on their popularity and positive name recognition. As you say, what it really has done is turn what was putatively an amateur sport into a professional minor league. I don’t know how the powers that be are ever going to put the genie back in…[Read more]

LOL. It’s better to complain about obvious issues than to be a tool that has nothing original or worthwhile to say. Here’s a recommendation, instead of hanging on my every word, how about you put some original content on this site.

Hunter seems to get on fire a few times each month. Hopefully will have a few of those 80% from behind the arc games in the Big12. Most times he misses most of them but does work hard out there which I appreciate.

That epic game against Arizona last season where missed FTs doomed us was crushing in that not only did we eventually go down after…[Read more]

I’m embarrassed someone even brought this up for debate.

31 TD’s a year vs 10.

Utah adds a solid running back and this team flips a lot of losses into wins.

What would you complain about if they made 76% of their free throws. You never have anything positive to say.

What’s ironic is the ‘pro-style’ is becoming more simplified except for the best of qbs. So a college system that takes that long to learn rarely actually gets them ready for the pros. All the rage are the Caleb Williams, Bryce Young, Jayden Daniels with ‘playmaking’ abilities. Many offenses are more short passes with occasional deep ball and some…[Read more]

Yes, there is a lot more joking mimicry in CFB (parody). Parity? just teasing 😉

Juco also a good pipeline into your AAA and AA

Was talking to some people the other about this and we compared it to the Major League Baseball Staten

Majors – BIG10, & SEC
AAA – Big12, & ACC
AA – PAC12, MWC, & AAC
A – Sun Belt, Conf USA, MAC
Rookie league – Everyone else

Maybe, but there is also plenty of talent from the top tier schools who are buried in the depth charts who will transfer to “mid-tier” schools too. The one positive of the transfer portal, amidst of tons of negative, is that we are getting more parody in CFB. Talent is being spread out.

Also, it really comes down to NIL, if Utah can pay…[Read more]

On a bug hunt here. Who started this thread? 🙂
