When I was young, I remember asking my mom why certain people – and certain families – have to deal with so much adversity. She said “because they’re the ones God built to be able to handle it.” Alex Smith is definitely one of those people.

Prayers up for the whole Smith family…

I would have thought that too, but the data I found didn’t support that. See the link I posted above.

No, taking the ball first is not guaranteed to give you more possessions. Why? Because possession after halftime is not dependent on who had the ball at the end of the first half. It doesn’t alternate. You (or your opponent) can have the ball at the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second half.

Think of it this way: From a…[Read more]

Eat BBQ until you go comatose.

Assuming Whit’s grandkids inherited his calves, can we offer them football scholarships right now?

College football is recession-proof. Economic conditions won’t mean dick when it comes to NIL deals.

Who cares what they think? Our CB friends molest collies.

Yeah I’ve heard good things. My wife has a pro deal with Rossi so last fall she hooked me up with a pair of Blackops Sender TIs (pretty similar to the Rangers) and I love them. I wish I’d been on that type of ski for longer. They’ve become my daily driver because they’re so good almost everywhere. All the titanium makes them a little tough to…[Read more]

Are those Ranger 108s you’re laced up with?

Corner of 8th Ave and Franklin St in Gainesville. Cost is .5g of heroin and a bottle of Xanax.

Serious question. The year is 2025. TV contracts have just been redone. Which conference would you rather be a part of: Mountain West, or Big 12?

Honestly the chicken at Crack Shack is pretty bang average. But their sauces are unbelievable. I could mainline that pineapple mustard.

My neighbor was a high-up in the athletics department for a long time. He told me this about Rick:

Some of you may remember that Rick – despite his high salary compared to the average person – drove a beat up old white Datsun pickup. Of course, he had a reserved parking spot right outside the HC. But he never used it. Instead, he would park his…[Read more]

And Florida (our next opponent)

Can I ask a question that’s probably going to get me a lot of thumbs downs?

If he was offered $1M to go to Bama, why didn’t he take it?

That makes me feel super good that he would stay at Utah instead of bolting for that kind of cash. I know college football isn’t a job in the strictest sense of the word, and I’m fairly loyal to my company, but…[Read more]

Totally off topic, but…

Am I the only one who thinks Cam Rising looks like a guy who would sell you flip flops at the Billabong outlet in Kihei?

Agreed. I’m not a Jazz fan, but I have observed and studied many of them in the natural habitat and I’ve found that Jazz fans tend to buy into the local media hype more than most other fanbases. Their expectations are easily built up every time some local media hack writes a “here’s why this is the year the Jazz win it all” piece.

I know we all…[Read more]

Not a good look by any means here.

Am I offended by this? No. I’ve heard much worse.

Is it a disrespectful and ignorant comment according many of the faith? Probably.

We all make mistakes and we hopefully learn from them through these teaching moments. https://t.co/MFLe2PvEgu

And to those looking for me to be outraged and to attack Zach personally, please review my comments from yesterday in their entirety. Never was I attacking the kids. I asked “where were the adults” in this situation?

We can all do better. We can all be less ignorant. pic.twitter.com/1K9zaFzmXU
