The O line had a tough time during COVID where they practiced individually before the USC game, which produces only a cluster****. They had no preseason games to get settled, they lost the center that was calling the line plays. The backup QB that was expected to be serviceable was not. Myself, I think the WRs could do a better job gaining…[Read more]

The ones that they let play were divided between teams. We were looking at twos and threes playing against the D twos and threes that are pretty much oneAs and oneBs. The D had an edge.

They allowed drinking in the stadium but they would bounce drunks. I actually think there were fewer people with drinking issues then than now. So strange, but being drunk was not cool but drinking was. Way back when I remember men with cigars here and there in the stadium. For cold games we always boiled cranberry juice, added hooch and put…[Read more]

I meant to say we took coolers to regular season games in the 70s in the student section. Everyone could take coolers but the students had room to set them on benches.

I remember sitting against the hill at practices on the practice field. But the hill just outside the sports building left little room on the east sideline. I do remember 1…[Read more]

I think it could have. Actually, it was late 90s when it was a small thing because I remember sitting on the grass at the practice field for some time after the game with my sons and Darnell Arceneaux, the new QB. Early 90s I remember taking pics with Luther Ellis and my daughter and that was in what was Rice stadium. Bob Rice donated money when…[Read more]

So, nothing?

Preseason rankings are mostly last years finish. Little movement outside the top 10 until games.

No, why not take USU and Weber State along as well. All three work about the same.

Let Smith review the issue himself. I have no reason to believe that all of Smith’s previous assistants are better than coach Martinez and Jones. Very reasonable that Pac assistants are a higher level than MWC assistants. It is also likely that the previous lead assistant is a candidate for the USU job. There is no reason to believe that these…[Read more]

I think BB and football are very different. You can ask a BB team to play 4 games in 5 nights in a conference tournament, but you can’t ask a football team to play twice in less than 7 days. It is just so difficult to see more than a single football game for conference championship. A single great BB player can make almost any team dangerous,…[Read more]

No candidate has everything that needs to be included in the staff. The HC must consider what he is short on. I expect every candidate will be set on X’s and O’s. Recruiting is so big in college. Building a team in the NBA is more like a purchasing department, in college it is more like a sales department. Recruiting is a key skill needed…[Read more]

I always like Jeff but he is lost. I do agree with him that Alex Jensen should be at the top of our wish list. After that he was embarrassing to listen to. He made me wonder when he said he told Larry he felt sorry for him because of the profession he works in. He must think no one else has aggravation in their job but they get buy with…[Read more]

The Pac should get out of the business of health policy and leave it to local authorities. The spring game does not involve other Pac teams and should be a university decision.

Hopefully, Harlan had a good read on a few upgrades before this move that will save time. I think it is important for the new guy to recruit the current players to stay because many would have a long list of interested schools. Martinez needs to be much assured. If we can get Allen to stay for the excitement of a new coach, keep the rotation of…[Read more]

Near the lifetime compensation of many fans buying tickets.

You have my vote. I have messaged ESPN 700 with just this request. I think Checketts has talent and works hard, but his politics are always front and center. His comments are not just unwanted but are repeated again and again. He can’t let go of heartfelt issues that are important to him even though they are not sports related at all. We…[Read more]

Pope is somewhat successful but he is a tool and likely not welcomed anywhere outside of Utah county. His first visit to the Hunty, the goofiness with no handshakes with Utah at the end, and his comments after should tell you everything you need to know to pass on that idea. I am trying to think about what Pac team could not finish 2nd in that…[Read more]

Utah has two short week, Friday league games. USC has none, ASU and Oregon have one. A couple of other schools have two as well.
