Come on guys…we had a guy, Dorian Singer, who was a year removed from being an All PAC 12 First Team WR and we couldn’t exploit his outstanding capabilities. Based on that, I’m not going to lose any sleep whether we are able to recruit some HS 5 Star kid.

Going to the Big 10, as currently constituted, would be a good thing, generally speaking, for the U. However, would it specifically be good for Utah athletics? I’m not so sure. I want to think so, but then I see who’s in the Big 10 and the number of quality institutions who’ve been eternal also-rans in that conference.

See, as major college…[Read more]

Phillip Lindsay was on 104.3 The Fan here in Denver on Tuesday and he was pissed. Not for himself, but he said since Deion showed up prior legends don’t feel comfortable up at CU. Lindsay then went on to say he’d talked with numerous prior legends at CU who have not had their jerseys retired and they are not happy. He commented Rick George the…[Read more]

One side note to the point about it being a job. I am very conflicted on this point. I have been one that has wanted to see players get paid. Not because it wouldn’t be good for the game, although I am trying to reserve judgement on whether its bad for the game. But more because it IS a job that these guys work DAMN hard at. My son tried one…[Read more]

touche’ However it may or may not sting for Syracuse in the near term, I guess it depends on their depth at the guard spot. And ultimately that is my point. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have several roster spots to develop players in hopes they will stick around if they get better, but I don’t think you can count on basing a program around that…[Read more]

I’ll add, good point about the “they think they are united”. The reality is, that zoob fans seem to not accept, is that ever single school in the conference would jump for the B1G or the SEC at a moments notice if an invite came. Even if it meant no conference revenue for the first 5 years or whatever. There’s a strange delusion out there that…[Read more]

I will admit, that while I’m not thrilled about the Big-12, particularly being in a conference with schools in the Central and Eastern time zone (though I love having TCU back), I’m glad we are still in conference with Colorado, ASU, UA, and even BYU. I love regional rivalry and Utah is more connected with California than it is Texas culturally…[Read more]

Lame!

It’s funny. I want Big 10 for Utah for a number of reasons that we all share: Money, prestige, access and attractiveness to the best recruits, academic connections for the U, etc.

But what I really want is to be reconnected to the Western Four in the B1G. Somewhere I saw a rendering of a suggested B1G western pod that would include those four…[Read more]

Cam Rising is expected to lead Utah to its first Big 10 Championship in 2026

there is a long list of players that killed Utah when the played!

Some anonymous troll

No doubt. I’ll admit, it had me fooled for about 5 minutes – but then the “next month” claim was just so outlandishly ridiculous that it was obviously a troll.

Somebody was either super bored and wanted to get some attention, or was seriously trying to do damage to the Utah fanbase.

AJ and his staff have a high basketball IQ. They know what it takes to win. Recruit athletes that can play defense. Develop an offensive scheme that fits their skill set. Houston has been the blueprint in CBB. AJ has commented on his admiration of Sampson and their style of play. Just the opposite of what we’ve been doing. Coach Smith and coach K…[Read more]

And I’ll note, A) I’d love it if we ended up in the Big-10. I’d love to play USC and Oregon regularly again, B) You never, know it could happen in 2030 or 2031 when the next round of media negotiations take place. I’m not saying it will, but crazier things have happened. But it’s definitely not happening now and certainly not before we know what…[Read more]

Nice post. The fun side of sports that gets left behind. Competing and having fun. That’s why they win!! Fun watch thanks.

this is exactly my concern^

Yes. Utah isn’t a magnet for talented WRs. Beggars can’t be choosers. Take the chance I say. But I hear TTU is trying to keep him. So lots of work to be done.

Hey, we got one good year out of Tavion Thomas. Maybe we can get a good year out of this guy.
