GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Centering the ball for the winning field goal? in the forum Football 6 months ago
I was watching this with my son, who was a college kicker (D2, but it still counts, right?). I asked him if that was the right move.
His answer: In college, yes. Chances of a mishandled snap are lower than the chances of a right-footed kicker pulling it from the right hash.
In high school, no. Mishandled snaps are much more common. You would…[Read more]

Sounds harsh, but it’s true.
– Most of the member schools are located in mid-size, semi-rural cities with low economic development that reside on major interstate corridors.
– Most of the member schools have low to mid-level academics.
Truck stop conference in every sense of the word.

Won’t matter today. The Cal pass defense sucks hind tit. Anyone in the Utah QB room would light up Cal’s secondary.

No…it broke the plane of the endzone before it went out of bounds. Kind of like how it’s a TD if a runner dives for the endzone right by the pylon and he lands out of bounds. As long as the kickoff breaks the plane before going out of bounds it’s a touchback.

Unless you think the coaches are trying to deliberately sabotage the program or trying to deliberately lose games, then the only possible explanation is #2.

If being 4-1 with the only loss coming on the road to a top-20 team is the most frustrating season you can remember, then you don’t have a very good memory.

Cam was expected to return imminently all the way until this last week.
That’s exactly my point. During recruiting season, the coaches thought Cam would be back in the fall and would have told recruits that.
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic One thing seems clear to me, because there is no other logical option in the forum Football 6 months, 3 weeks ago
All it takes is telling recruits, yeah… He’s still on the team, but he won’t be playing for at least a year.
But that’s not what coaches would have said in the spring (when the portal opened) because that’s not the story they had back then. In the spring, they thought Cam would be back in the fall. No QB1-level guy is going to come when he’s…[Read more]

Scholarship players get the higher trim package. The one with the power sliding door and ceiling-mounted DVD player.
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic One thing seems clear to me, because there is no other logical option in the forum Football 6 months, 3 weeks ago
There’s a third option: Whit tried to get a QB1-level player from the portal and couldn’t close the deal, leaving us with a bare cupboard.
And not being able to get a QB like that actually isn’t too far-fetched. No good QB is going to see the situation at Utah, where Rising may be back at the beginning of the season, and want to sign up for that.…[Read more]

I think Utah will be an NIT team. Outside shot at an NCAA berth if Deivon Smith gets his waiver. Bajema is going to be a significant upgrade over Stefanovic, and I’m excited to see how Exacte and Keita have improved (word on the street is they’ve both stepped it up).
Oh, and FREE LUCA TARLAC!

Alex Smith was a 2* recruit with only one div 1 offer,
Alex Smith was an outlier. Occasionally you hit a home run with an outlier like we did with Alex, but do you know what you become when you base your recruiting strategy on outliers? You become BYU-Provo Campus.

It may feel good to look at the record and ignore the context but what good does that do anyone?
Well, it may help with some peoples’ mental health, and a quick glance at the board this morning tells me that might be needed.
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Coaching in the forum Football 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Yeah, losing sucks, but perspective is needed.
If I’d told you that Utah would be 4-1 at the bye week while basically playing with the scout team, every one of us would take that in a heartbeat.

I have learned how not to let my mood be dictated by sports. Utah winning or losing this football game doesn’t impact anything that truly matters in my life.
