Charlie replied to the topic 2024 non-conf schedule has been finalized in the forum Football 1 year, 6 months ago
It is the stadium that back in the day… had open air urinals on the east side, but that was only because trees and bushes were closer than the small restrooms.

We should treat the USU game next year as an added home game. It is an easy road game and better than going south. However, Logan is not big so leave early.

USU has a number of transfers this year that may be a good team just themselves. They will be a different team this year. I wish we would return to playing them again. Back in the day we played home and home each year without being in the same conference. It was always a fun series.

Charlie replied to the topic All is quiet in the hill… in the forum Football 1 year, 6 months ago
Rising and Kuithe aside, I don’t think we have many key players taking advantage of the extra covid year. Without following other teams, I assume we are similar to others. Another factor may be uncertainty around the move to the Big 12 following two very good recruiting years provided by 2 rose bowls. Last years class will put pressure on guys in…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Please prove me wrong 2024 football season… in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
Initially I was not concerned that recruiting in the Big 12 would be a change. I get that recruiting will take a dip from the last two years. However, my concern will grow if our recruits don’t have other offers from other power 4 conferences.

Charlie replied to the topic Rumors are… in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
Actually it would be a good thing. Better than the other instate schools we have been playing. Since we most often only play 1 P5 level OOC game, USU is better than the usual 2 and 3. I liked our USU games because they are easy to drive to and are affordable. Not a coach’s favorite because they have often been quite physical and get players beat…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Lowering expectations in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
A lot of good teams have more than one position that need to improve, getting down to one is not bad at all. USC and Colo have awesome WRs but have envy for our DL. Utah’s WRs need to improve but are not that far off. Still, being Utah’s featured receiver can get notice and can get drafted. I don’t expect the numbers to remain low as the QB…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Keaton Bills to enter the 2024 NFL draft in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
I am hoping that being one of the best teams in the Big 12 will be better than B1G and SEC bottom dwellers. A new playoff scheme will help.

Charlie replied to the topic Keaton Bills to enter the 2024 NFL draft in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
When the OL has difficulty run blocking and pass protection there are several possible causes and only one is poor OL play. However, OL play is the first cited by fans. Many serviceable OLs can have zero drafted players, a mediocre OL likely fewer. Looking into other causes may provide some insight.

Charlie replied to the topic Thoughts on the up coming bowl in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
At some point I would think we would learn to wait and see what happens rather than be told what to expect. The one consistent thing I have seen from Whitt is he will play the best available player letting practice reps determine spots. And that assessment is later more than earlier. Barnes will accept a chance to be the bowl QB and likely may…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Keaton Bills to enter the 2024 NFL draft in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
For what it is worth… I recall Whitt saying they had 10 OL ready to play at the beginning of the year. I don’t know how far along ready to play is but I would think we should next have more than 5 ready plus development that can be done before fall. Coaches must have seen it coming with Fano and Lomu being top recruits last year. This year’s top…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Utah pursuing QB Sam Leavitt from MSU in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
As we look for another QB, realize that every single place worth going to will have QB competition. If there is a walk right in situation it will be at the bottom of the barrel and right behind you will be another QB. I also think good QBs don’t mind competition. Exceptions would be incoming HCs that bring along their QB like is the case at MSU or…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic New CB Commit in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
I think one or two Big 12 teams will do fine. It will become critical to contend for the championship often, go to the playoffs often and be ranked often. Even more critical, send players to the NFL and have NIL to contend with the B1G and SEC. Not everyone in the Big 12 will suffer but most will. The key question is who is going to be the cream…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Replay BYU game in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year, 7 months ago
As it relates to recruiting, two PG options are here but not on the floor yet. Exacte is more of a combo guard but would improve ball handling. He is very close to returning from injury. Smith is an awesome PG. I think he would outplay most guards we play this year. I have no idea why the NCAA has such a problem with some second transfer athletes…[Read more]

I can’t recall, do PWOs commit along with scholarship athletes? I seems I remember some commits in the past that did end up PWOs. But I am not sure.

Charlie replied to the topic New Safety Commit – Maurice "Rabbit" Evans in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
JC recruiting generally takes place in the fall along with HS. They are limited in ability to visit during the season however. By together with HS I mean they are on the board of targets throughout the fall, unlike portal folks that are generally not known until the portal opens unless they are one of the few that quit midseason. I could be wrong…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic New Safety Commit – Maurice "Rabbit" Evans in the forum Football 1 year, 7 months ago
JC is part of HS recruiting, the portal is much more likely to produce ’24 rotational players. The incoming part of the portal has not started except for those that started in a back channel fashion. You can expect to see a safety. Than and relax, no one here lies to you…

Charlie replied to the topic Runnin' Utes vs. Turds down south in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year, 7 months ago
For 35 years I had a season football tickets at the Y to go to 1 game every other year and sold the others to family. I also had BB tickets on the 3rd row there for what use to be 1 game a year in the same fashion. Of course, we have had UofU football and BB tickets forever. I feel I have a masters degree in the rivalry. Clearly, I feel Utah fans…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic To all the TDS fans: follow the Prophet in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year, 7 months ago
Oddly, I remind my family that the Y has yet to produce a prophet, it would seem they look to the U to develop their leadership. With the institute the U can offer everything offered at the Y with one additional item, free agency.

Charlie replied to the topic Utah vs BYU basketball in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year, 7 months ago
I have family that follows the Y. They tell me the current BB team is mostly the same team that had little success last year but for some reason is shooting much better this year. They have not played teams they feel have challenged them this year. They are not tall with 1 or more bigs slowed a bit by injury. Utah is much bigger but when we play 2…[Read more]
