It’s what I do mostly. You just end up not being able to talk about college athletics with your buddies. The other con is you really take losing seasons harder. The little time invested watching Utah football became just a stressful annoyance more than entertainment.

Chat made it easier to just complain. But then you are told you are a bad f…[Read more]

I’d take Travis over Isaac, all day every day and twice on Sunday.

Baby Giraffe could also run.

It’s tough. Part of me wants to protest college sports and boycott everything until they fix it, but the only team I would be hurting is the Utes. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. My solution for now is to only watch Utah Athletics and nothing else.

I thought this was kind stupid when I first heard about it, but dare I say I am also now honestly wondering if I really want to support the Jazz or the Utah Hockey Club to the extent that I have historically. The Jazz suck and the halfway rebuild has been frustrating. This is just another reason to at least take a breather for a few years. The…[Read more]

Man, so disappointing. All the stuff the guy tweeted over the past 1-2 weeks, it feels like a stab in the back. I’m trying to remember that all of these players are just 20 years old, but that’s just another reason why this system is so jacked up. Not only is there no salary cap, no contracts, and no draft…but we’re dealing w/ employees that…[Read more]

Growing up in Denver in the 80’s, I lived and breathed Broncos football. Free agency ended it for me when I realized I could either be a fan of players with no regard to their team, or I could be a fan of a logo and a team owner. I haven’t watched an NFL game in almost a decade.

With NIL, I am starting to feel the same way now about Utah…[Read more]

How did Ryan Smith get his billions? What companies did he start? It is my right and my duty as a Ute fan to boycott any and all business ventures he’s involved in. This is clearly tampering. This may be just the beginning.

Man, this one hurts. Bummer.

Announcing you’re entering the transfer portal and have 6 offers within the hour is something. Pretty obvious what’s been happening.

There is none. College football and basketball have jumped the shark.

Personally, I think that, in some undetermined future, when athletes are considered school employees, a number of schools will cut the cord with organized athletics. I fully expect that to be the case with the high-end academic schools like Cal, Stanford, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, and many others. What I think will happen is that the academics…[Read more]

They should eliminate sports. What is the connection between the academic mission of a university with running a semi-pro football team?

I agree, 4 year contract to start! Wait that sounds familiar…

In all seriousness – model it after the NFL and do away with years of eligibility, it’s the only way to force parity. All new recruits enter a draft. This way they can all stop pretending like their primary goal is education (I know it is for some, but many I feel would drop classes…[Read more]

They way I look at it, what goes around comes around. We will have some hard times ahead as long as Whitt is still head coach and BYU has their billionaire donor, but it all well come to an end. Whitt will be gone and Utah can begin rebuilding the football program and BYU’s billionaire donor won’t be able to save BYU’s programs no matter how…[Read more]

You could be a Utah lifer as a fan and still be trolling. Regardless, there’s nothing to add to this. Have a good night.

It’s not really tampering though is it. They just have more money to offer.

I am just about done with this shit.

Once they’re determined to be employees of individual schools, I would think that’s what’s going to happen. It’s absolute, utter bullshit that you can devote time and resources on a specific player and then have some other school sweep in and scoop the player up at no cost to itself.
