Unlike the team that played TCU, this team has been tested (repeatedly). This is the best 6-1 start we’ve ever had (not sure how many times we’ve been 6-1). We have beaten, Florida, Baylor, Weber State, Cal, UCLA, and USC (at USC). We aren’t the greatest team ever, but our defense is damn good, and our offense is not. If our offense doesn’t shoot…[Read more]

Riley, USC and CW were made for each other. How fitting that Caleb Williams’ initials also happen to be the network’s initials synonymous with tacky teen dramas.

C’mon what? Did I say anything even remotely negative? I just asked a question for discussion. What is the problem?

You tell me. I didn’t call him a genius.

Its too early to say just yet. We’ll see how he does against Oregon.

Can’t we have good feelings for one gd night?

yep, I don’t think #8 would have been anywhere near hitting Barnes in the head had Barnes not done that.

The biggest issue for me is when he brings certain players in, you know exactly what is going to happen… and that makes the job way too easy for the defense. If I, who have never played a down of organized football in my life (long story), know what play is about to be run, you are doing it wrong. That is definitely a bone worth picking, but…[Read more]

There were plenty of off-tackle runs tonight. I suspect we run those plays because those are the plays that work most often in practice. It certainly is frustrating, but I gotta think Ludwig isn’t stupid. If he’s calling those plays, he must have a good reason for doing it.

He certainly isn’t the perfect play caller, but he did a solid job…[Read more]

He has been hurting us in the redzone with penalties all season. It has been BRUTAL. It’s common enough that you can pretty much count on him getting a false start in the redzone.

So Eaker couldn’t hack it.

No reason for all that extra fabric. These shorts are much more practical. I grew up in the baggy shorts era and after playing in these shorter style shorts, I can say they are far superior for performance.

Unless seeing man-thighs makes you weak in the knees or somehow offends you, there is no reason for wearing baggier shorts than this when…[Read more]

Exactly. This is nothing more than them hoping to catch Utah players (or the University) doing something against the rules. There is no other incentive for doing this. How local companies choose to advertise their company is nobody’s business but their own. This doesn’t protect anyone’s rights, it invades the rights of Utah residents.

Nothing…[Read more]

Simple? Sure, but you pretty much nailed the issue here. Are the players employees of the state, or are they private citizens doing private business deals? If they are employees of the state (I don’t see it that way, because the university isn’t part of the deals), then certain aspects of their contracts should be public. If they are just people…[Read more]

Here is the stated legislative purpose of Utah’s Government Records Access and Management Act:

“63G-2-102. Legislative intent.
(1) In enacting this act, the Legislature recognizes two constitutional rights:
(a) the public’s right of access to information concerning the conduct of the public’s business; and
(b) the right of privacy in…[Read more]

this is all you need to know to see their motivations behind the suit.

“This will allow the public to better understand these deals and whether Utah’s universities are performing their public function in monitoring them for compliance with NCAA eligibility rules,” he said after the more-than-two-hour hearing that included the committee going…[Read more]

This should be appealed. I’m not sure whether it harms the UofU to have this stuff public, but it just doesn’t feel right that it should be public.

I’m sure this will end up in an actual court of law relatively soon.
