One thing that gives me hope: Wazzu plays into our strength (pass defense). They don’t even pretend to have a running game. I think our secondary will feast. 

Nothing worse than people who feel like they owe it to society to speak for a group that can speak just fine for themselves.
It’s actually most offensive to assume that the Ute tribe can’t handle their own affairs. 

I’m not prepared to address the difference in semantics between “fun-ish” and “exciting”. And personally I don’t understand why brutal hits and poor tackling technique make the game more exciting.
But I do know that football has a participation and audience problem. Maybe making it more like rugby is what it needs? Rugby has 475 million fans……[Read more]

1st down: Trick play… we run “The Annexation of Puerto Rico” to perfection for a 75 yard score.

The best thing football could do is get rid of the pads. Make guys tackle the right way. Football is an entertaining enough game that it would still be fun without the “hits”.

I would get rid of the play where we get it to a guy and he fumbles it. I would get rid of it because I don’t like it when the other team has the ball. 
A close second: I would get rid of the play where we throw the ball at a guy and drops it. 

Keep your silly “proper perspective” to yourself please 😉

Nogt saying that Taylor is a good OC, but on the play you cited as an example, Huntley is at fault. It’s actually a good play call, but Huntley mde totally the wrong read. If he keeps it and goes right, it’s a good gain.

The rules are why I have a really hard time getting into football.
The hit on the QB is 15 yards and an ejection. But Covey gets his head knocked off with a shoulder pad and it’s nothing? Under the current rules, that’s what they’re saying. But which of those plays was more dangerous to the player?
Sorry but football as an institution is deeply…[Read more]

Let’s see you catch the goddamn ball when it’s coming so fast that the atmospheric friction is peeling the skin off it…

What I think we need to do to start the game is kick off, or receive the kickoff, depending on the result of the coin toss. 😉

Question.  If Tony had the opportunity of replacing Pace Manyung with Moose’s Whistle would you be upset or in favor?

If you’re feeling that much pain when the school you’re probably only loosely connected to loses at a sport played by kids you’ve never met, you may need to find some meaningful relationships or something. 

I love how Montanans and North Dakotans don’t hate anyone. 
And what’s up with Nevada’s hatred of Michigan? Are they jealous because the state of Michigan has trees or something?

Can we get an IP address check on this one? $5 says it’s from somewhere in Utah County. 

2018 – we’re just not that good at football?

A warning from The Conclusion Police: Mahomes is also playing the Chargers.

No, no, and no.

If you want to criticize a play call, criticize the endzone fade route on 3rd and 6 from ~30 yard line. And we’ve done it 3 times in 2 games (twice against Weber, once last night)!

I’m not a big play call critic guy, but when you have one shot at 6 yards, why oh why would you throw a low-percentage pass to the endzone?

FYI, their QB just got sacked on back to back plays, and fumbled on the last one.

Look, I want a better O for Utah as well. I give us a D+ so far. But I wouldn’t trade our O for theirs.
