There are lessons to be learned from what happens to other people that took a similar path

I think there is a whole lot of ‘chasing the money’ going on in college football right now (not just the players) and not much ‘learning from the past’.

Yeah, it sucks. Unless the athletes are paid and under contract, there is nothing really to be done.

His tweet says he will be at the bowl game.

Thanks for the information!

Not sure what caused so many injuries this year, but hopefully the team swings back towards the average (or better) next year on the injury front.

I am first a Kyle fan, and a UofU fan second

How did this come to be in your mind?

I know some fans seem to believe that you need to go all out in your support of the team, no matter what.

However, there are some people (like me) that view sports as entertainment. If it is not entertaining I will not watch.

I think college football is fun. Is it the best football you will ever see? No. Are NFL players better? Sure.

Sneaking into onto the CMU sideline certainly seems more egregious. I still don’t think having other people attend games for you is a big deal, but I suppose I understand the recording aspect being a problem (again, a rule is a rule).

Yeah, that makes sense I guess. A rule is a rule.

So, had he attended the games but not recorded, would that have been okay?

Hopefully it doesn’t happen for a long time. When it does, hopefully whoever takes over can keep it rolling.

Washington feels like a match-up nightmare for Utah. If their Offensive Line is better than Oregon’s, the game could get ugly.

Utah’s pass defense relies so much on pressuring the quarterback and our downfield pass coverage has not been very good. This is a bad combination if the Utah defense can’t get QB pressure against the pass-heavy offense…[Read more]

There’s nothing wrong with caring about something enough that you cry when you fail.

Really? TCU always seems to make me nervous. OSU is generally a solid team as well. Baylor almost beat us this year. TDS has the most recent win in our series. There are plenty of teams able to beat you if you don’t come to play.

That said, I will miss having Oregon, Washington, USC, UCLA, etc on the schedule. Such a shame that the Pac12 is dead.

Was there a lot of traveling?

… expedition… I’ll see myself out… (Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself 🙂)

Careful. Questioning people’s opinions is frowned upon around here… 😉

All of this NIL money stuff needs to come with contracts, and the contracts need to go both ways. The school should have to pay the player and the player should have to stay at the school (unless they mutually agree to terminate).

The current environment feels like constant free agency. Imagine if that were a thing in the NBA or NFL…

I…[Read more]

Oh, interesting. I have seen it from time to time on here and was curious.

I assume these broken objects I see (desktop browser) are supposed to be emojis?:

Probably why I seem to have missed some sarcasm in a different thread…

I think Utah will finish the ‘regular’ season 8-4, which is still a good season considering everything that has transpired.

I think Utah loses to the teams left on the schedule with decent defenses: Washington and Arizona. That said, Arizona State and Colorado could still give Utah trouble.

That would certainly look cool. Not sure the Ute Tribe would be too into it though…
