@Charlie: You can DVR on Hula + live. In fact, you can pre-select your favorite sports teams and it will DVR automatically all your team’s games, as long it was originally televised on Hulu.

It was announced a few months ago that TNT will televise “nearly 20” BIG12 games this season. I assume Utah will be on at least one of these “nearly 20” games.

The Wyoming game will be on the CBS Sports channel. The UCLA game is on big Fox.

Hula + live carries all the above channels along with ESPN+.

Read a X post yesterday from one of our Ute insiders (forgot exactly who) that it is still between us and Tennessee.

On another note, on 247sports it states that Moa is now a composite 5-star:

“Local standout Salesi Moa jumped 0.0139 points in the composite ranking, going from 0.9712 to 0.9850. That jump would put him in the top half of the…[Read more]

This is aligned somewhat with a ranking published earlier this year in the Wall Street Journal on what each team would be worth if it could be sold in the open market. Out of 131 total teams, Utah ranked 28th with a worth of $425 million. Ohio State was the top team with a worth of $1.96 billion. TDS’s projected value ranked 35th.

Well that didn’t take long, the new Pope is already in the portal.

Good stuff – can’t wait for Aug 30th.

Go Utes!

Signed with USC today.

Money aside, baffling to me that he would transfer there as from what I’ve read so far, he won’t even be starting. Goes from being WR1 to a back-up.

Yep, didn’t take long for his destination program to be finalized.

According to 247 it is 100% that he is transferring to Duke.

“Do not contact” means they don’t want to be contacted by schools as a destination is already lined up.

Very surprised to hear in Checketts Josh Grant interview that Andre Miller tried to come back to Utah to be an assistant but was never accepted back. I assume from this take this was another example of Smith not wanting to accept any help from anybody who had been associated with Utah BB.

Andre is a head coach in the G league. I would think the…[Read more]

I second the suggestion on listening to the Josh Grant interview by Spence. Lots of great stuff from Josh such as why Smith wasn’t successful and who the next coach should be and why.

One of best interviews I’ve ever listened to concerning anything related to Utah athletics.
Here is the apple podcast link:

Mitchell signs with Arizona:

The UA has earned a commitment from former Utah rusher Mike Mitchell, who will have three seasons of eligibility remaining. He joins ex-Texas State running back Ismail Mahdi in a backfield that also includes returners Kedrick Reescano and Kayden Luke and incoming freshman Wesley Yarbrough.

The OP of this thread, “Taylor Mangina” is a zoob troll. Here is his first posting on UteHub; he’s a real piece of work:

They call me TCuz

He also goes by TCuz in cougarboard. The guy is a complete loser. Some of his postings there are just despicable. For example, he’s posted that the U is “pro-cancer” and “pro-terrorism”. Another posting…[Read more]

DT is especially concerning. As of now we have no one that was starting or any of the primary backups from the 2024 team. This was our DT depth chart at the start of this past season:

LT:
No. 58 — Junior Tafuna — 6-3, 308 pounds, Sr.
No. 95 — Aliki Vimahi — 6-4, 305 pounds, Sr.

RT:
No. 57 — Keanu Tanuvasa — 6-4, 301 pounds, So.
No. 99 — Tevita…[Read more]

Wouldn’t be much of an upset since it is #8 (OSU) vs #9 (Tennessee) but out of the four first-round games I think Tennessee has the best chance of an upset. OSU is favored by 7.5 points.

I think there will be at least one upset out of the four.
Looking forward to watching all the games.

Absolutely am watching, one game on Friday, three on Saturday.
Will piss-off the wifey (especially being the weekend before Christmas), but I’m a diehard college football fan so gotta watch.

Recruited by a lot of big programs, e.g., Ohio State, Texas, Florida, Oregon, but “only” a 3-star. Wonder why all the attention??? Must have something real good that they all see.
