Agree and disagree. Injury is always a huge factor, especially to starters. But ESPECIALLY for QB1 with Ludwig. QB2 was never prepared. There will always be a dropoff and QB2 getting up to speed, but with Ludwig’s ‘complicated’ system (Rose still hadn’t picked it up in 2 years?!), they had to go so vanilla, it was easy to defend. So, yes, it…[Read more]

To feel better, know that:
1) We aren’t relying on Cam Rising and Cam Rising alone like the last 2 years
2) We have an OC that doesn’t require 2 years just to start understanding the system

Beck and a ‘simpler’ offense that can adapt if injuries do occur (knock on wood, hopefully not) and a still very good defense and we can play a well-rounded…[Read more]

We had our worst season in 20 years and really only got beat in the Colorado game. If we had an average offense last year we would have won the conference.

Buyouts in NIL contracts

Restricting transferring (they come up with some reason – family issue, coach abusive, mental health) seems to be a no go with a lawsuit. Although SEC requires year off if you change SEC school – so not sure how that is enforceable. I think 1 transfer ‘free’ OR if coach leaves.

1 transfer window, not 2. Timing also is…[Read more]

Did Zipperer play yesterday? I don’t remember seeing him on the field

I believe he enrolled in Jan and was around, but I guess he saw how he was at best 5th. Maybe had to reset his expectations or find a better fit.

I was thinking about taking my wife and kids but I saw that tickets were $10-$22 each.

So much for a game that used to be free.

I’m about done with this.

Agree, you almost have to put OL and RB together for ‘run game’ rather than separate even though OL also has pass protection. It’s going to be interesting with Dampier as he will also rely on OL blocking when he scrambles or options to run. I would expect that we will have to weather a few more INT than before (and Whitt will have to swallow his…[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]

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
1…[Read more]

The old adage ‘if you can’t do, coach’. His size probably limited him and buried on the depth chart led to fewer reps to get better. As a grad assistant, not like he’s a lead/position coach, but will be, well, assisting and learning. Could end up working up through college ranks over the years or go high school – but creating future options for…[Read more]

hmm, maybe like AD and now NIL type stuff? hmm

I don’t disagree for basketball (men’s or women’s), but what do you do about gymnastics pulling 15k into the stadium? I haven’t been around the campus in a while, but seems like there’s more non-sports events at Kingsbury than JHC (concerts, etc.). For graduations, a smaller arena is fine as only 1/2 of the JHC is used. I would assume they’d keep…[Read more]

Meh…players union and contracts coming.

Canceled last year. I don’t regret it.

Trump is freaking killing it. Uncovering all the waste, fraud, and abuse is exactly what we need. I was never Trump until they charged him and tried to kill him. I’m 100% all in. I want every cabinet member confirmed. I want all the grifters to be bankrupted. I want the corruption to be brought to light. They gave him 4 years to put together a…[Read more]

I think many of the voters are only paying attention to overall record and not the specifics and that’s why the Utes are stuck in ‘receiving votes’ purgatory.

Hopefully (if Utah finishes strong) the committee considers more details, including that all three Big12 losses you listed were when McQueen was out.

It’s surprising, given her overall play. Oddly, her FT% has dropped every year (75, 73, 67, 55).

I wondered at the time if her missing those two free throws against LSU her sophomore year would mess with her confidence. Maybe it did with the 5% drop, but the 12% drop this year is something else.

Currently, the Women’s teams is shooting 75.3% for the season.

Starters are shooting 78.9%, which is impressive, given that Jenna Johnson and Maye Toure have shot 55% and 63%, respectively.

You have good points but two of them probably would probably need to be addressed to Yomark as Harlan has limited control. I’m not either of those guys (thank goodness, but I would like the salary) but I’ll take a stab at their replies (does not necessarily mean endorsement).

1. @Laramie sucks but if you were in the PAC12 (RIP) ACC, or BIG 12,…[Read more]
