I had to downvote that comment as it was too painful. 🙂

Now they can better engineer the black curtains.

the Dumke and the Jon and Karen Huntsman BBall facility are staying put

Does this mean the practice facilities will move as well or stay where they are? My bet is they want this real estate for additional housing but if they move the area elsewhere, seems like the practice facilities would need to go with it.

Prevailing rumor is just west of RES.

This isn’t about athletics, Harlan and Randall don’t give a rats ass about anything that isn’t athletics. It’s just them pandering to out of state students by building more dorms and trying to make the U a destination University. As a student Im not happy because every year they take out parking and build more housing and increase enrollm…[Read more]

I guess it will be a reconstruction and not a lift job…

They really do need a more modern (smaller, like 9k for bball, but 15k at gymnastics is great) arena with more boxes and better experience. They are still considering options, but wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up as part of the downtown development. I hope it stays on campus, but not…[Read more]

Allegedly boosters have agreed to 3x the current NIL allocation, whatever that was.

What will also be big for Utah in 2025 onward is revenue sharing. Our NIL budget may not match big schools but we are somewhere in the top 20 for revenue so that will hopefully help keep us somewhat competitive.

I understand jacking up the prices but I think it’s a joke that the last two years have gone from:
2023: USC, Oregon, Washington, etc.
2024: Kansas State, Iowa State, Cincinnati, etc
2025: same 2024 garbage but one less game

while increasing the cost each year.

I mean, Kevin O’Connell was an absolute scrub as a professional but he’s one of the best offensive coaches in the NFL right now. Historically speaking, it’s usually the guys who understand the game really well but just don’t have the physical talent to excel that become great coaches. Hell, Sean McVay is another example.

I think the team’s biggest problem over the last few years is Madsen is the only guy who can come off-ball and somewhat create his own shot. The team has been too dependent on his 3pt shooting.

If he’s hot, teams have to give him attention and other guys get easier looks. If he has an off night, no one else has been able to step up.

If they were to keep the huntsman it’d need a facelift. I figured they could have finagled some Olympic funds to update the arena (assuming it would be used for something in ’34) but I’m also not opposed to a new arena. My only question is where would they put it? They’re running out of old buildings on campus to tear down.

Could they buy out…[Read more]

Hitting 40-50 percent from 15 feet is more productive than 3 out of 14 (21%) from 3 point range.

Cody had a very good season. Lander struggled because of a nagging injury. I talked to his cousin the other day, and Lander is feeling good.

34 in wrestling
11 in men’s golf

Wrong brother, brother.

Glad to hear there are a number of elite skiers on the team.

Lander was hurt all last year. Zero concern about him this year. Utah has the best linebacking room in the B12
