No game this season was as bad as unlv -utah 2007
i drove five hours through two delays on the freeway to get that stink fest. i had somoni yell September dawn at me walking out to the car. the only redeeming thing was the Polynesian guy punching the fan while he was handcuffed by police, and getting arrested himself. The guy had that walked…[Read more]

Take this with an enormous grain of salt, as I have zero insider knowledge, but Lud’s system seemed to either work exceptionally well (averages of 35+ ppg in the two healthy Rising years) or not at all. Zach Wilson saying Utahs offense was resembling that of an NFL offense might have hinted at the playbooks being the size of a small car. Not great…[Read more]

I wish the NFL would follow Catholicism more closely.

Interesting Cam not mentioning KW in his farewell letter. Some WTF head coaching moments not pulling CR out of the ASU game when he was clearly injured then stating he left it up to Cam to stay in when clearly he was struggling. The knee injury debacle. KW did not do a good job protecting CR on and off the field. Cam deserved better. Good for Cam…[Read more]

I heard that if there’s no Pope decided after 4 rounds of voting, they decide it by having the cardinals do alternating possessions starting on the 25 yard line. If it’s still not decided after an additional 2 rounds, they have to go for a 2-point conversion every time. That’s probably how the American cardinal won.

Did you watch Utah football in the 80s? Did you ever what Lance Rice? Come on man! Wilson was not great but he was much better than the parade of mediocrity we had a QB for most of the 70s, 80s, and some of the 90s.

Not sure, but Pope Francis didn’t ever go back to visit Argentina (did visit other SA countries). I think Leo XIV has been in Rome for a while. Seems like he wasn’t generally on the list of top ‘favorites’ but is centrist, maybe a compromise between the progressives that would take Francis’ path even further vs the conservatives who want to take…[Read more]

After the last few years, I am going to be more cautiously optimistic rather than blindly confident.

That said, until proven otherwise, we should expect the defense to have a strong baseline. On the offensive side, everyone’s been really high on Dampier thus far. If he can show out against a conference that doesn’t prioritize defense, they…[Read more]

In its current form, it is not sustainable. There is a fine line to walk between standardizing/regulating NIL deals, and maintaining some semblance of “student-athlete” rather than players as employees of the university, or the teams basically becoming university-sponsored minor league teams.

If NIL is more regulated (e.g. players are…[Read more]

Hard to think of a Utah Utes athlete that had such a big impact on the outcome of games and seasons. I will always remember the PAC12 championships, that I was really not expecting in my lifetime, after being a fan since the 1960’s.

Thanks Cam for your great play and contribution to Ute football!

Newbury Park went 14-1 overall last season, and was the undefeated Conejo Coast League Champion, before winning the CIF Southern Section Division 2 Championship.

He is coaching four-star QB, Brady Smigiel, head Coach’s son, .

Looks like Bad Moon is setting himself up for success once again!

A healthy Cam was the most fun I think I’ve ever had as a Utah fan. It’s sappy to bring a lot of emotions to a post about a guy who you’ve never met and doesn’t know you exist, but DAMN did he absolutely leave it all on the field.

After everything Cam’s been through, I love this for him:

Newbury Park football brings on Cam Rising as offensive coordinator

He blues himself.

I hope he becomes my second favorite Tobias, right after my analyst and therapist (anal-rapist) Tobias Funke.
