Goodness. I understand USC and Oregon simply have momentum that places them near the top year in year out but do first year coaches often run away with the conference lead? They both had most all the pieces last year but found it difficult. USC gets a better coach and that should improve them. Oregon may have had more pieces last year so…[Read more]

Will the OL be hurt by Luke Felix-Fualalo going into the portal? Is he on the current 2 deep roster?

This is very simple. The team votes on when and where to were whatever uniform option they have asked for. Myself, I am very good with whatever the team chooses. It would be more than silly for me to make their choice.

China and Russia do account for that percent of the skullduggery on the internet. I don’t know enough about the technology but I wish we could limit persistent connections or whatever it takes to run code on another computer to only countries that actively reduce bad actors to some low threshold. Those that do not should be reduced to email and…[Read more]

The couple of times I have been reminded of the loss to the Y by their fans, I agree that I know well about the loss. I tell them it was awful to lose two straight to two mid majors but it was sweet to bounce back from that very low point to go to the Rose Bowl. End with asking them to try to imagine how awesome it is to play on New Years Day.…[Read more]

Actually, for the most part, I am ok with all Pac teams. All schools have the random asshats, Utah included. Other than the rivalries like UA/ASU or UCLA/USC, most all schools experience much the same thing as they travel. I have been lucky in that the majority of other team fans have not upset me when I visit. But you do need to get use to…[Read more]

All of the spots we will always need good talent throughout the 2 deep roster. We can have a stud make a difference at most any position. But I feel the real difference makers are really effective when they come from a few spots. On offense, QB and RB. On defense, DE and CB. Our offense is set in that we have very likely all league players at…[Read more]

Actually I feel that room is very well positioned to be compared to the best. We start with one of the few returning P5 all conference QBs. As a number 2 Barnes was capable of a late drive to tie the game against a top opponent. As a change of pace wildcat QB, I think Jackson holds as much promise as a similar backup in other top programs. As a…[Read more]

I don’t believe I share your panic. I actually look forward to when Smith has pieces that are as good as the other Pac teams. I wish we could have held on to a few more players from ’21 but Smith started with very little. The Jazz owner bought our first great recruit, now Smith needs to find more pieces. What I did like this year was the…[Read more]

Realize that the next up leadership group has many of the same players and most of next year’s team has been watching Lloyd and Covey. Lloyd credits the LBs before him for giving him the example, particularly the film study, that he repeated. I don’t expect that the leadership that has been developing for years will disappear.

Maybe they will try him at WR. To understand why you may need to ask his mom.

Where do I apply to safely dispose of the Russian vodka?

Long ago my dad had student apartments in Provo. Some guys move out but left 3 sides of a three hole outhouse in the living room. They did steal a sign from the Admin building and hang it over the shitter. It said ‘This Stall Reserved for General Authorities Only’. I did think it was funny before I had to haul it off. Must be a thing there.

Someone should give him a try at WR.

Of course a Stanford degree is awesome. However, it means more to the older generation than the younger generation. The greatest value is right out of school when education is primary and experience is minor. Over time, where you went to school becomes minor compared to experience. And it varies by field of work. Lawyers and finance folks…[Read more]

Cam is very good when you consider he is still a couple of games short of a full first year. Currently, he is running with the best group of QBs without putting an order to the group. However, he is one of the those that you should expect his ceiling is still higher. In a second year after an offseason, you can expect that a great QB works hard…[Read more]

I agree. Smith has clearly done more with much less. The team in a massive losing streak has better chemistry then recent teams in good runs. They play better defense than teams since Rick was here. The offense bogs down less than has been the case for years. I can see the plays they are trying to run. As he gains equal talent to the other…[Read more]

I don’t know anything about it… however, it is extremely hard to compete with the first placed ACC team for a player. Then add in a new coaching staff that everyone is watching to see what we have. Hard to say we missed our chance.

Exactly what we were talking about when Tom commented. $5 is a good start for above the concourse, you will get another $10 when they buy popcorn and a drink. The value to the team and progress for the program would be great. And I agree even though it will make my parking a nightmare. Reevaluate for small increases after a couple of sold out years.
