astUTE

Finally caught up today on some of the early pre-season top 25 predcitions.  I’m obviously pleased to see the Utes featured often, sometimes prominently, and only completely missing on a few.
A question and a comment:
Why has Oregon jumped to the top of the class?  I get that they have a returning senior quarterback, and a very good incoming…[Read more]

I’ve seen this topic touched on briefly on this board, and I apologize in advance if it was fully discussed and I missed it, but:
If someone knows the whole story, would you please respond recounting how an apparent significant talent, who I understand always wanted to be a Ute, was not offered a scholarship at the U and ended up attending BYU…[Read more]

Good second half adjustments, for Oregon.

…. stuff Walton’s mouth full to the brim with munchies, and shut him the (*&^ up?

I’m always on here bitching about Coach K, mostly because of his inability to make the NCAA tournament in the last three years, after seemingly being on a fabulous trajectory the previous 3 years.
I’ve also complained bitterly about he and his coaching staff not being able to out-coach Altman.
I love what I’ve seen from this team and from the…[Read more]

 …Number of teams by conference expected into the NCAA tournament.  This is embarrassing.  With the turmoil at Arizona and UCLA, those two (historical Blueblood) teams are not likely to be lifting the reputation of the league next year.  Washington, and ASU should be at least as good next year, Oregon will improve.  I hope/expect Utah to…[Read more]

Hoping we show up ready for a team that may have decided to quit on the season, but will probably remember the dramitic comeback we pulled off against them a few weeks ago, and be highly motivated.
A win would be really nice – this would be the first sweep of a two team home stand in conference.
Go Utes!

I am no expert on this topic, but base my comments on what I see…

I have several friends who praise coach Holliday for the progress he has made with the receiver corp.  In particular, they point to the increase in star ratings of the recruits since he has been at Utah.  They are right, however, my frustration is that his group, other than…[Read more]

I’ve publicly, on this site, complained, repeatedly about these two.  I’m here now, to apologize. 

They were the players of the game this evening, and I want to congratulate them for their performance.

In the PVD case, we may have a significant weapon for the remainder of his senior year.  More importantly, in the Johnson case, I HOPE, that his…[Read more]

… I cannot tell you how happy I am that I did not purchase airfare and stubhub tickets before seeing what this team is like.  The last thing I ever want to witness in person is a Runnin’ Utes team play Kentucky with no possibility of winning, and more likely to quit.
The recruiting class next year appears to be very good, and I was expecting…[Read more]

Mark Harlan lives in my neighboorhood, and i’ll tell him this personally when I see him, but I wil never again purchase away game tickets or bowl tickets through the University.  If I’m makeing the effort and spending the money to go to the game, i am going to chose seats that I’ll be happy with.
My family travels to games every year – this year,…[Read more]
