2008 National Champ

Deepest, most talented line in the history of Utah is pretty much the quote

He can transfer or stay at Utah. Whether he plays at either depends on the NCAA and typically that decision wouldn’t come until next summer.

Playing them every year moving forward is more than enough. No reason to go out of the way to get even more games against them.

Give the kids more of a reward than travelling 1,000 miles to play a school that is 45 minutes away from your home stadium like they had to in 2015.

When did it become okay to call out the coaches?

The GOAT hired Harding —> The GOAT has never made a mistake —> Harding is the best OL coach ever

Why do you want to Fire Whitt?

That’s quite the ratio. Definitely found impactful WR transfers this season which were able to significantly upgrade the room and the overall performance.

Who is this “we” you speak of?

8-4 has been the correct prediction since January. Anything above that is gravy

Can an upvote also be a BOOOOO! I agree with your premise but I will be very unhappy if it happens again.

I loaded it again but I had the right link. One of the things about 247 is how they format their pages so the last link took you to the bottom of the article. It’s set for the top now.

Rose has already burned his redshirt last year. If you want to play him, why make his first experience against UW in a must win?

He was a starter there for 3 years and never showed anything close to what he’s done at Oregon. Unless you think Harsin was finally going to unlock his potential that he couldn’t their first year together, Nix moving on was the best thing for everyone involved.

son of a…!!! If I edit do you think anyone will notice that I can’t type dates? 🙂

One scenario that would work for Utah would be:

10/4: UW @ USC
10/4: UCLA @ Arizona
10/11: Utah @ UW
10/11: USC @ Oregon
10/18: UW @ Oregon State
10/18: Utah @ Arizona
10/18: UCLA @ USC
10/24: Oregon State @ Oregon

That requires 7 of the 8 road teams winning but would put 8-1 Washington in a rematch against 7-2 Utah with no tie-breakers…[Read more]

Games that matter: (this assumes that the 7 teams in contention will beat the 5 teams who are out of the running. any upsets will change the math)

10/4: UW @ USC
10/4: UCLA @ Arizona
10/11: Utah @ UW
10/11: USC @ Oregon
10/18: UW @ Oregon State
10/18: Utah @ Arizona
10/18: UCLA @ USC
10/24: Oregon State @ Oregon

Yes on the tie-breaker. I went through that a couple of days ago but it all comes down to who you miss for SOS. Stanford is Utah’s ace in the hole and WSU forgetting how to play football after their bye week is just frosting on the cake.

Oh, and I forgot to add Arizona to the 2 loss list that is still in the running.

As of right now, there are…[Read more]

Actually, no. The only likely way Utah gets into the CCG at this point is if they win out and are in a 3 way tie.

UW, USC and Oregon all control their own destiny. Utah, UCLA and Oregon State all need help.

He didn’t lose a year, he just hasn’t played. Had Rising come back as hoped for the start of the season, Rose wasn’t going to get more than garbage time reps anyway, even without the injury in camp.

People think medical’s are automatic and they aren’t. I would question whether Rose would be eligible since he’s apparently recovered and is…[Read more]

I don’t think he’s calling for Whitt to be fired. We’ve seen Whitt coached teams for 19 years now and we know what we are going to get. An attacking defense and a risk averse offense. That’s not going to change as long as Whitt is the Head Coach. Recognizing that is not the same thing as “Fire Whitt”

Miami, myself, Eagle and many others are…[Read more]

We should never again allow ESPN Gameday to come in here for a day game.

It’s pretty hard to convince your team that they are underdogs with a “chip on their shoulder” mentality when they are getting daily reminders of how good they are. If anyone was motivated in 2010 or yesterday it was the visiting team(s).
