I think the game ends 50-49 and I’m not sure who wins.

The 2019 would do their thing, but that 2004 offense was a juggernaut. Nearly impossible to stop them.

Live shot of me and the other remaining big Utah basketball fans watching this recruiting class come in:

From reading this article, it seems to me like Covey has a bright future ahead of him as a coach when his playing days are over, if he wants to go that route.

While we have seen the PAC12 “bump” in football and basketball, it’s easy to forget that it exists in Olympic sports too. There’s some serious talent coming to Utah in minor sports too. I was at that soccer game where Utah took down top-10 USC, and I was really impressed with the goalkeeper and the striker – I could see them both getting looks…[Read more]

One important factor that shouldn’t be overlooked: The chair of the CFB playoff committee is none other than Oregon AD Rob Mullens. Gotta think he’s going to bat for the PAC12 because of the possibility that Oregon wins the CCG. He will want them back in the playoffs.

That will benefit Utah when Utah “upsets” Oregon in the CCG.

How do we make this work.

Leave stacks of cash in their lockers, a la Arizona?

What about contraception?

^This.

We have a ton of in-state talent and most of it ends up at UVU. It’s turned them into a perennial top 25 program in just 5 years. Utah needs men’s soccer badly, especially being in the PAC12 where there are so many powerhouse soccer programs.

Remind me how this map works?

BTW, I question the validity of any map where a .500 Breed ‘Em Young team has so much territory. We Mormons haven’t possessed so much land in the midwest since before Liburn Boggs was governor. 😉

Meh. I’d rather have the bye and get slighted in the polls than the opposite. If we don’t win out, all the discussion of rankings is just academic…and we’ll need Huntley healthy to win out.

Meh. I’m just going to revel in the offensive onslaught for a while before I try to figure out what we know about this team. I mean, I think tonight we scored more points than we did in the entire Majerus era.

Well that was fun….

Here’s a couple of records for this game:
Most points scored in a game (143)
Most points scored in a half (73)
First time with two triple doubles in a game (Gach and Jones)
Largest margin of victory in school history (94)
Largest margin of victory for a D1 vs. D1 game in NCAA history (94)

Utah’s 2020 class now rated #5 in the country.

Live look at Pace getting ready to post on this thread:

Nedum Onuoha and Zack Moss are two guys on the top of their game who both came to Utah via interesting paths. And they’re both a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Great podcast!

And let’s make no mistake: The PAC12 invite set the table for this. It’s been so positive in every way – and I’m not talking about sports. The difference the PAC12 has made in our educational and research missions is palpable. And obviously the timing suggests that the new mental health center announcement is what pushed us over the edge.

A couple interesting factoids:
There are only 65 AAU member schools in the country.
There hadn’t been a new AAU admission since 2012.

You beat me to it! I was in a meeting. Anyway, here’s the text of Ruth’s email to staff.

Dear colleagues,

I am thrilled to share with you some very significant news for the University of Utah: We have been invited to join the Association of American Universities, the most prestigious association in higher education. AAU requires its member…[Read more]

Yeah I forgot to mention the rebounding. I’m so happy to finally have a Utah team that can rebound!
