Meh, there’s tons of all kinds of talent for football and basketball in the Bay Area and Cal sucks at both. I think it’s far less local talent pool (which certainly is a minor factor) and far more coaching and program culture. It’s not like Utah was any more packed with local BBall talent in the 1990’s than they are today, yet the Utes were amazing then.

How are we on the Nordic front? IIRC, we are pretty solid, but any chance of us losing the lead due to it?

I feel the same way. The NBA seems to have far less parity and it stinks. But the Jazz doing so well has also re-sparked my interest this season.

eeeehhh, I kinda agree and I get what you are saying. But WR’s more than any other position is impacted by the quality of QB and the offensive approach. I think Utah’s offensive approach is adequate enough for an elite WR to find success, but our history of QB’s hasn’t been good enough. Huntley was great, but last season in those 5 or so games…[Read more]

My favorite play from last year was one of Ty Jordan’s TD runs, I think against Wazzu, when he basically juked a LB and then a DB for about a 15 yard run or so, that was an amazing run.

The only thing that concerns me about our offense, and I think it’s more of a QB problem than coaching, is that we aren’t using the WR enough. We have some good…[Read more]

Yeah buddy, I’m not missing that Florida game in Gainesville!

We all said that last year and the year before and year before that. This season was supposed to be the one where it all comes together with our recruiting class. Now all is not lost, we are 3-1 with a very solid win over Washington.

In my mind, clearly LK is not the guy for the job. He’s not going to escalate Utah basketball past where it is…[Read more]

“Wilson blows”. Dude, your red goggles are thick! He’s an excellent QB. It Wilson blows NFL scouts wouldn’t have him as a potential 1st round pick. Even if he ends up failing in the NFL, the fact he ends up getting there and getting a start shows he doesn’t blow at the college level. I understand Ute fans’ disdain for anything related to BYU,…[Read more]

Mohave University isn’t bad.

I’m also thinking: St. George State, Southwest Utah, Southwest Utah State, Southern Utah State, St. George University. All kind of meh, but I think it will be something like that. If I were a betting man, I’d say Southwest Utah State.

HOLY COW!!!! This is great news for the rest of us in the Pac-12! Giddy up.

I was worried about that. I know we are set at RB, but honestly, he’s looked better than Bernard (is that his name?) to me. Ty Jordan of course has looked amazing, but I’m concerned about what happens if he gets injured.

It’s a shame I can only downvote such idiocy once. Few coaches do more with less than Whitt. Yes, the conservative play calling yesterday was infuriating, but he’s an incredible coach and we are dang lucky to have him. Utah is not a destination job, we could just as easily be the equivalent to Mississippi State, Illinois, or Maryland. Instead we…[Read more]

Well, seeing as what happened with Cal and UW, it might be dead.

My wholly unqualified opinion is that I think it will be good for us. We have a solid RB crew and I think Arizona wants to throw the ball a ton. So the snowy rain stuff should impact Arizona more.

Honestly, she was a no brainer choice for the Supreme Court. She’s perfect for it. She’s incredibly intelligence, fair, moderate, etc. The only real controversy about her nomination is the way the GOP did it. But anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty cant with a straight face say she’s not worthy or qualified to be a Supreme Court justice.…[Read more]
