Would a fighter pilot or co-pilot ever say, “we’re getting low on gas.”

My dad was a Navy fighter pilot. He once confirmed to me that they would never actually say this.

Instead, they would say “we’re getting f—ing low on f—ing gas.”

As teams and their opponents have positive cases come up, they will be forced into quarantine. There will be a lot of cancelled, postponed, and rescheduled games. I’d bet by the end of the year most teams will have played 3 or 4 games. There won’t be a CFP because there won’t be enough data on everyone. But there will be bowl games, and I bet they…[Read more]

When you do finally go to Laramie, then you’ll appreciate what COVID tried to do for you.

OK I’ll admit it…I laughed.

And then I downvoted.

Hmmm…it appears sarcasm doesn’t work well on UteHump anymore.

I’m confused…do we still want to fire the guy for being a lousy recruiter or not?

“You guys are scared to play us.” – every BYU-P fan everywhere

Yeah there’s a reason I go backpacking every 4th of July weekend…

There are two other reasons why it’s important to slow the spread:

1. To buy time to learn more about the virus and how to treat it. Remember, even if there’s capacity at your local hospital, once you’re in the hospital the mortality rate is still 88%. Increasing survival rates is not solely a function of available beds.

2. The virus appears to…[Read more]

Delivery, plus the blatant religious bigotry.

CFB has to happen. Not having it will not just spell the demise of some athletic departments, it will actually end some universities. There’s no way it will not happen.

As a die-hard soccer/USMNT fan:

I think a lot of this is being driven by money. DeAndre makes a pittance with the USMNT compared to his club contract with Newcastle. When you’re already playing physically-demanding club ball 10 months out of the year, why would you want to play for your national team the other 2 months for no money?

While…[Read more]

The problem is, it will take far longer to achieve herd immunity through population infection than through a vaccine.

Sweden (where everything stayed open) recently did a random population sampling and found that less than 4% of their population has had COVID since the outbreak began. That’s a far cry from the ~80% needed to achieve herd…[Read more]

He can do what he wants, I suppose. But views are not without consequences. Looks like at least one of his players (a 2000-yard rusher) is going to refuse to play for the guy.

He’s raising tons of money, which is probably going to be the difference between survival of the athletic department and its demise.

Chris Hill may be the AD who brought Utah athletics to life, but Mark Harlan is going to go down in history as the one who keeps it alive.

Keep in mind, there are two things working against Scalley here:

1. He used the word at work, in the context of work, to refer to a “coworker” (a recruit).
2. He works for a university. Like it or not, universities are hypersensitive to racial issues.

The NCAA doesn’t have one AFAIK, but the U athletic department sure does…

Yeah, that was a completely random draw, wasn’t it? <eyeroll>

On a slightly related note, I would kill to have a basketball version of OnlyU. We have way more BS in basketball than football, and it would be so nice to have someone to cut through that BS. I’m 99% certain that there’s more going on than meets the eye with almost everything happening within the basketball program.
