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
5 in men’s cross country
2 in men’s basketball (’45 & ’46)
1 baseball (runner-up 5x)
(55 total, 53 team NCAA titles – claim 2 non-NCAA titles in football and equestrian)
183 individual national titles

For Utah:
16 skiing (15 combined men/women)
10 gymnastics
3 claimed by basketball (’44) + NIT (’47) + AAU

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

Lander was meh last season. Hope he kicks it up bigly this season.

I just went to the Big 12 website and they don’t even list skiing in their sports. LOL. I did see that with this win, Utah has the most championships of any school other than Oklahoma State, which has almost two times that Utah does. Whoa!

Hey TomahawkClitoris! by the way, I did not upvote myself.
here is a funny joke I heard today.
A redneck goes hunting and shoots a “DEER” brings it home for the wife to cook it for dinner. The kids (Lisa, and Jake) are kind of picky eaters, they (mom and dad) decided not to tell the kids what kind of meat they were eating.
so Lisa asks mom: ” mom…[Read more]

Are there any ski team members who can compete on the world stage?

Speaking for the alpine side, yes. We routinely have skiers miss regular season events for World Cup races. That helps explain how we finished 3rd at the Denver University Invitational and yet we went on to win the natty.

Last year, Madison Hoffman entered 9 World Cup races. She…[Read more]

I thought Deivon Smith was pretty good last year.

Yes, some do. For example our best men’s nordic skier missed some of the season because he was in the FIS cross country world cup

Lol, Lincoln Riley was a walk-on who didn’t play a down for Leach (who also never played football) at tech and has coached 3 of the last 7 Heisman winners…

Congratulations! I don’t follow ski events of the Utes, but once in awhile I watch some of the Olympic events and some of the world ski events.

Are there any ski team members who can compete on the world stage?

Good for Luke! I thought he was great and showed a lot of grit in the few chances he had quarterbacking the Utes. He will have a chance starting as a Grad assistant to develope and I hope for him he has a good career in coaching.
