Correct you are Utah. What really rubbed me wrong with those two schools was, whenever a Pac-12 team lost to an FCS school, it was mostly them.

The interesting thing is that Mayer is five years younger than Whitt. So, you have to imagine that he still has gas left in the tank. Hypothetically speaking, let’s say that Utah wins the Big XII next season, makes the CFP, and makes a good showing there. At that point, Whitt decides to call it a day requiring Utah to get a new HC. Personally,…[Read more]

And WSU’s has a HUGE segment of Seattle. Yes, WSU is in Idaho. BUT they have a massive fanbase in Seattle and up and down the west coast. They have every opportunity to take advantage of a huge market and a fertile recruiting base.
And they didn’t. Well, maybe they did once or twice with Drew Bledsoe and Ryan Leaf.
Like I said, do better. They…[Read more]

Yeah, we did. And it sucks being left out of the P2. Even more reason I don’t care if OSU and WSU are left out.
You can’t save everyone.
And what did we do in the 10 years we were in the PAC-12? Year 1: third place. Year 2: next to last place in the south. Year 3: Next to last in the south. Year 4: next to last in the south. We then went to…[Read more]

Dude looks like a good pickup. He shot well enough from three last year (very small sample though, so likely only shoots when wide open). Good size. If we were staying in the PAC we would be a possible tourney team for sure. Not sure how we’ll do in the big 12 though.

I don’t have inside info, but I do have a couple posts here detailing my thoughts on his capabilities. TLDR version is that I saw limited BB IQ, lots of turnovers, very little offensive explosiveness, and very spotty defense. The only positive stat in his line was 3-pt shooting and even that wasn’t outstanding. I think his potential was limited…[Read more]

There are lots of reasons they attack. They might be trying to take over the server to use it as an attack vector. They might be trying to find usernames/passwords. Might be trying to find credit card info. This one inserted some malware into another domain I have. It also hacked one of my emails and sent out 127,000 spam emails.

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.

What is the point of these attacks? Are they trying to steal money, or computer time, or ???

How good was he really? I only recall seeing him play a couple times. I don’t think he played enough to get a read on his abilities. Bowling Green is a big step down so maybe he realizes it’s a better fit for his talent level. Anyone have inside information on his upside and being able to contribute on next years team?

This is an interesting take. I don’t hate it.
Andy replied to the topic State of Utah MBB in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 days, 17 hours ago
I don’t recall where I heard it from but someone on the board or maybe it was on Ute Nation board had mentioned that the coaching staff had pushed Exacte out or at least had advised him he should enter the portal. Hearing that was more shocking than him choosing Bowling Green. Makes me think that there were some underlying issues involved with the…[Read more]

Eh. I don’t care. They were in the P12 for decades and took money and were cool with us being left out. Oregon State was one of Larry Scott’s biggest defenders.
Maybe next time they have more miner than most programs they will bus something that other conferences want.
Kinda like we did.

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.
PhiladelphiaUte replied to the topic I feel bad for Oregon State and Washington State in the forum Pac-12 4 days, 3 hours ago
Don’t count out the ACC. If FSU and Clemson leave, there’s potential for Cal & Stanford advocating for some western teams to backfill their departures. And with the Big 12 already at 16, I’m not sure those 2 remaining Pac-12 teams would add enough value to a league who’d already been watered down enough by adding a quartet of weak SOS midmajors.

Not sure the Miller thing makes sense bc Smith will likely be gone after next year (barring a micaracle) and who know what a new coach will do with his staff. The big question who will replace Smith and who will be making that call.
I take it with a grain of salt bc its a comment on an article, but did anyone see this comment?:

105 sounds like the number from the first time the NCAA limited scholarships before dropping down to 85.

What qualifies him for the job? Has ever coached before.
I love Andre as much as the next guy, but coaching is different from.being a player. I’d rather find a quality, experienced coach.

I don’t know Smith’s plans but for the good of the program he should let Manny Hendrix make this decision as the best one in the program to assess options. Not the time to wonder about foot steps. Hard to imagine this would not be a desire from the U’s side.
