It’s a testament to how much goodwill the program has built, because based on the body of work of our team recently there is absolutely no reason for us to even break the 30s, possibly the 40s. I’m optimistic that we can end the season ranked higher.

I tried to sponsor last year, but I assume my offer was declined because I sell beer.

I’m going to be posting some Kurt Vonnegut before the BYU game. Book it.

Typical off-season banter aggravated by the last two seasons and P12 break up. KW kept the core of his coaches and best players tells me the players are all in. I enjoy this site creativity and content of the posters. When a poster quotes Tolstoy, you know we’re getting close to kickoff.

From the article: “No. 25 Utah (+59): Our voters are clearly expecting a return to form for Kyle Whittingham’s program, bouncing back from last year’s 5-7 showing to be right back in the mix for the Big 12 title. Some more consistent availability at the quarterback position will be a welcome start, with Devon Dampier arriving from New Mexico to be the centerpiece of a re-tooled offense.”

I think this is a very fair point. The post Majerus era has been brutal 95% of the time. It would be crushing to see something similar in football. I think that is where Utah fans are really lucky to have somebody like Scalley standing in the wings though. We can’t say that he will for sure be successful, but I think it’s more likely than not. He has such deep Utah ties, so much family here, and stands to make so much money over the next 20 years that I really think it’s more likely that he would stay than leave. Probably much more likely.

I understand what you are saying. To me – it seems that the fire does not burn inside KW as it once did. I could be wrong. I hate how Kyle handled the QB issues the last few years. I think he failed in 1. Getting a solid backup ready to play and 2. The weekly drama was handled very poorly IMO. 3. As the coach, he should not have let the locker room become a disaster.

Be careful what you wish for. I hope Kyle stays forever. I remember thinking that near the end of the Majerus days that maybe it was time for him to move on because I had grown tired of his off season flirting with every program out there. I had also grown a little tired (ie spoiled) with winning games 52-43. Boy was I wrong!

I’ve had 20+ years to learn how foolish I was to even think that Utah could just reload and that Chris Hill would just find another Majerus or Urban Meyer whenever he wanted. I’m not making that mistake again. I know that with Kyle running things, the football team will always be in the running for a conference championship 90% of the time. And that is great with me. I hope to hell that Scalley will be able to stay for 25 years but I just know the chances of catching lightening in a bottle again might just not be a realistic proposal.

Go UTES!
