Most players don’t want the chance to be the starter – they want to be told they are the starter. That’s the biggest way in which the portal is harming student-athletes.

Why is anyone even surprised? At this point, you have to assume that any player who hasn’t been an everyday starter – on any team – is going to the portal.

There’s only one thing I don’t understand about the Ute fan base: Why are so many of us constantly negative, pessimistic, and depressed? We seem to have a greater percentage of Eeyores than any other fan base I’ve observed. Sometimes I think that if I gave the average Utah fan a suitcase full of money, he would complain that it’s too heavy.

E. The end of football season means it’s fully basketball season

Aye aye, captain…

Assuming we’re speaking only about football, the only thing that really must go is the Bhutan death march that occurs on the concourse behind the NEZ after every game. Who’s the genius who designed in a choke point?

Damn…relax, son. I’m not trying to start a fight.

No disrespect to Ike Armstrong and all his titles and undefeated seasons, but Utah was playing against high schools at the time. Literally. Look it up.

Madsen can shoot…at home. Time will tell if he can shoot on the road, but the evidence so far isn’t favorable. We have average overall talent, below average athleticism, and way-below-average FT shooting.

I think we will be a disaster on the road and respectable at home. Maybe even pull off a couple top-25 upsets. We’ll have plenty of chances…[Read more]

Ironically, your first sentence reinforced my point.

And the question isn’t whether Whit is doing a good job. The question is, would Scalley be doing a better job in the same circumstance? You’d be hard pressed to convince me he would.

There are photos on Twitter of refs taunting fans in the NEZ. Can anyone who was there tell us what was said?

Interesting. This is exactly what the BYU-Provo Campus fans were posting when they ran their second-best coach of all time (Bronco Mendenhall) out of town and entered their worst decade ever.

Big 12 officiating makes PAC12 officiating look like the NFL. That said, the refs officiating isn’t why we lost.

Basketball was played! Utah didn’t shoot so great (especially in the first half), but the defense was clamps all night, which led to a big win. There was barely anyone there. News flash, athletic department: 3:30 tipoff on a work day is a bad idea. Go Utes!

I’ll take 2 if they’re still available.

You have to have an institute parking pass to park there.

Same as Miami – my tickets say Huntsman. Where are you hearing it’s at the Delta Center?

As I’ve said before, this is Gabe Madsen’s team. We go as he goes. And when he goes 10% from 3, we’re not going to go well. If Gabe shoots his season average, we win this game by 15.

Also, Miss St’s point guard made Hunter Ericksen look like the Hunter Ericksen we all know on defense.
