chinngiskhaan replied to the topic We lost a game the other day, to Oregon in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 years, 7 months ago

LOL, still on this kick are we? I didn’t claim to know why Utah lost that game did I? My claims about Gach were essentially based around the verifiable fact that he is inconsistent. His numbers this year prove that so far. He hasn’t missed 100 threes in a row this year, but he’s still inconsistent in his output… as are several guys on this team.…[Read more]

Didn’t watch it. Few things I noticed from this box score as well as the last few. Gach has predictably has come back to earth as of late in terms of offensive production (though he hasn’t shot horrificly bad, he’s just not taking as many shots for some reason).
Jenkins is a very up and down scorer as well, he did not start against Oregon, and…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan started the topic Any ideas for a new RB coach? in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

Robert Conley played for Utah, he is the RB coach at Weber State, but I’d like us to go after someone who can open doors that we don’t currently have open. We could use a guy with connections to the state of Florida. We still recruit well there, but we could use a florida guy to keep those connections open. It would also be nice to hire a former NFL guy.

chinngiskhaan started the topic With our lack of elite recruits, the 3 tight end sets are our ticket to success in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

What we do on offense is 100% unique, and is the only chance at making any noise in the playoff (still incredibly slim chances there). If we can somehow convince a few elite level athletes to come to Utah and play tight end, and convince an elite level RB or two to come and play RB, we have a formula that is good enough to beat the elite teams of…[Read more]

Ask yourself this question: Would coach Whitt start a RB at CB if there was any option that was better? If the answer to that question is no (it is), then you have no reason to complain or wonder about why.

Lets not forget that one of our key backup players in the secondary was brutally murdered.

chinngiskhaan started the topic WTF is with all the whining about Bernard and anyone else? in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

Do any of you complaining idiots remember where this team was at the beginning of the season? Do any of you know what it’s like to watch your friend get shot several times in cold blood, then stand there while he dies knowing there isn’t anything you can do about it?
If it were any other team going up against OSU with a RB playing CB I think…[Read more]

I’m not expecting a win… won’t be surprised with either outcome

So 200 then, got it.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic All the ticket sales going on here make me think there in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

Sure, it’s no big deal… but we won’t have 60k at the game. It’s too bad that people over bought. I think the high price from the high demand scared many fans away from getting in on the action.

When people try to hock their extra tickets a week before the game people that otherwise would have been willing and able to buy no longer can because…[Read more]

Will be a lot less fans than tickets sold. Another sell out-not sell out perhaps?

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Outside of Utah uniforms – what are your favorites in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

Interesting…

My non Utah favorite is Notre Dame: Not a better uniform in sports IMO. Gold helmets, dark blue uniforms with a ND logo on one sleeve. Gold pants. Doesn’t get cleaner and better looking than that.

Actually, I strongly disagree about Florida’s uniforms… I’m not sure about all the alternates or whatever, but their classic (orange…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan started the topic BYU fans whining about religious bigotry because people are happy for UAB in the forum They So Poo Poo 3 years, 7 months ago

Is exactly why I can’t be a fan of BYU sports despite being a member of their faith.
For mormons these days to complain about modern day persecution is absolutely ridiculous. I get that not everyone likes us, and some may even hate us simply because of what we believe, but that is the same for virtually every subset of people on the planet.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Utah WRs – system vs talent in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

I’m perfectly happy running 3 TE sets with one WR in the Covey mold if that is what our personnel strengths are, and it seems to be much easier for us to recruit TEs than top level outside WR types. I knew going into the season that a combination of Covey and Kuithe would be almost impossible to stop, and that proved correct. Kuithe types are a…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic While I don’t much care about recruiting rankings in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

I understand everything you said. However, it still doesn’t explain why teams that are clearly worse, and have been for a long time, are getting better recruits than us.

If Kentucky can get a 5* player there is no reason why we shouldn’t be able to do so. Yes we have a type, but our coaches are clearly not great recruiters in regards to ran…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic While I don’t much care about recruiting rankings in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

And? There are terrible teams out there getting 5 star recruits and or many 4 stars.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic While I don’t much care about recruiting rankings in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

There ARE two sides to this coin though. While our ranking is lower, we are CLEARLY better than at least half the teams above us. Are we truly recruiting worse if our players end up better than theirs? Maybe we are just way better at player development. Or… our coaches are better at talent evaluation than the recruiting experts.

chinngiskhaan started the topic While I don’t much care about recruiting rankings in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

I gotta admit, it’s pretty crazy to see the teams ahead of us in the rankings. Kentucky? Arizona? There are a lot of teams that must be a less attractive destination than Utah that are somehow out recruiting us.
while I’m fine with where we are, on paper we should be able to attract better recruits than we are currently attracting.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Logan Kendall TE committed in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

If all he does is block like that when he’s called upon, he’s worth a scholarship for sure.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Zach Moss in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

It’s obvious to everyone except their coaches and QB.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Logan Kendall TE committed in the forum Football 3 years, 7 months ago

If he’s the guy who I saw the tape of on here a few days ago, dude blocks like a crazy mofo. He’ll fit in well in the all purpose TE role.
