OffensiveLineEnthusiast started the topic Pessimists, where are our for-sure losses? in the forum Football 4 days, 17 hours ago
One of the reasons I’m optimistic for this season is that I think there are no “sure” losses. I think the worst chance we’ll ever have to win a given game is 30%.
If we had Ohio State on the schedule, I’d look forward to it but put it down as a loss in my projection of the season. But Texas Tech isn’t Ohio State.
So, pessimists (projecting…[Read more]

This does nothing. “pay to play” was already against the “rules.” This order specifically allows third-party payment for NIL which is the landscape we have now. This issue requires actual legislation with a framework, or even better, the government should stay out of it and allow the schools (conferences, or dare I say NCAA) to develop their own…[Read more]

Our RB room is not so different from last year (which isn’t great, but not terrible either). We have one mostly proven guy and several other unknowns. I would rather have this year’s RB group than last year’s. First of all, we have a person who I believe is a much better RB coach. Second, we have unproven guys behind our #1, rather than a guy who…[Read more]

Anyone who thinks they are superior because of their religious or political beliefs has issues.
I have my religious beliefs and political feelings. But, I have learned that my beliefs do not make me a better person. I hate the polarization that exists today in our country because we put our own beliefs ahead of being a decent person.

The last few years it seems the injury bug has hit the D line and DEs. Depth will be crucial. Hopefully there are a couple guys in the pipeline that just need an opportunity to prove themselves. WR has been a problem for a few years. I think the complicated scheme on offense played a role. More stacked sets and motion in the spread to help get…[Read more]

Vakalahi, Vimahi and Fano are all high level defensive lineman. It will be one of the most important battles of fall camp to determine if there is a starter at the other end or if it’s a committee. That will be telling. I like those three a lot. John Henry-Daley and Kash Dillon at end positions are hopefully ready to contribute. On paper, they…[Read more]

We should recognize that we have a very diverse fanbase of various belief systems, political leanings, economic status, etc. and respect each other’s differences and most of us are good at that. But sadly a significant number of fans (not all thankfully) of a particular school act that they are superior because of their religion which makes…[Read more]

I would say that we should all be respectful of others’ beliefs; I don’t care what religion or political party. This is a sports board. I have loved and lived Utah sports for over six decades. I do not come here to get a lecture about religion or politics. There are plenty of boards for that.
This board has been typically very good.…[Read more]

I think that this is a concern. We lack depth at RB and WR on offense. But, I am most concerned by our Dline.

College football is complete mess.
The government wants to help.

UtesRules’ request is interesting. On the one hand, it would be easy to comment that UtesRule should simply avoid these conversations. This site has never seemed so entrenched in LDS religiosity that it would affect anyone’s engagement with the site to avoid discussions of that topic. Making this suggestion to UtesRule seems reasonable.
On the…[Read more]

I don’t think things are going to get much better guys. I think the NCAA as we knew it is toast. How can they possibly regulate this in a way that evens out the competitive balance? They’ve already gotten rid of the BS amateurism stuff. The courts have spoken, and players are now (justifiably) allowed to profit off of their NIL. That will never…[Read more]

Interest in college sports…Rising (for the first time in 2 years). If this has the effect I hope it has, I might actually watch more than half of the games this season.

When I was at Utah in the late 80’s, it was the same time period UNLV was putting together great basketball teams. One of their players, Greg Anthony, started a tee shirt company that was relatively successful. The NCAA, in their shortsightedness, gave him the option of giving up his company or giving up his scholarship and paying his own way to…[Read more]

Pretty much sounds like exactly what a biased and unrealistic BYU fan who doesn’t like Utah would say.
Total respect for Kalani if that’s how he handled the Retzlaff situation.
I laughed out loud when I read what the guy said about Bachmeier Under Troy Taylor, Stanford was 3-9 last year (and they were 3-9 the year before too). They were…[Read more]

Worries…
Depth at DT and DE. Need a #1 WR to step up. QB if DD goes down with an injury it will be ugly with a rotation of bad inexperienced QBs and another 6 win season at best. CB have potential but need game reps. Not worried about RB TE OL LB K/P & S. - Load More
