Funny enough, the year the Jazz were really supposed to tank was the year they blew it all up in the off-season. We shipped Rudy and Donovan away and we were supposed to be in the tank sweepstakes for Victor Wembanyama, but the Jazz started the season on a 10 or 11-game win streak.

I think the fan sentiment here in this state is that we’re not…[Read more]

The Jazz are trying to take the OKC Thunder route. The Thunder have spent the last decade stockpiling draft picks and assets and they full-on tanked two seasons in a row for high draft position and now they’ve been the top team in the west for the last two seasons. Even after all that, the Thunder still own THREE first round picks in the draft…[Read more]

I believe that’s what Urban Meyer did when he was here. Whit ran the defense, Sanford ran the offense, Urban oversaw it all, but he ran special teams. I don’t recall whether or not we had stellar kicking or punting, but I do recall our coverages were excellent and we went after punters a lot.

I find it more interesting a highly recruited, 5-star QB transferred to a place like Boise State when big-name contending teams are in the market for a QB next season. How does the QB from UNLV end up committing to Georgia one day, then flips to USC the next, and one of the top recruits in the nation last year swaps places with him in the MWC?…[Read more]

Good for us? Sure. Good for Rogers? Unless we become an air raid offense then probably not. He had a major drop off in production this year sans Mike Leach. I imagine he’d want to end up at a program that lets him sling it around. He’d be a great fit at Washington.

Yes, JJ is suited up and taking reps right now.

Jeff Fisch was at UCLA before Chip. Not an overall impressive head coaching resume, however he seems to have Arizona headed in the right direction. Their recruiting classes have been pretty good the last couple years and he’s got that program on the up and up.

The hilarious thing about this game is the Panthers basically have nothing to play for and it’s a win/win for the Bears.

The Panthers traded away their 2024 pick to the Bears last year to move up into the #1 spot to take Bryce Young. If the season ended today the Bears would own the #2 pick (by way of Carolina) and the #3 pick in the 2024 draft.…[Read more]

If I were calling shots at USC I’d go after Jim Leonard, former Wisconsin DC. His defenses were consistent top 10 in the nation and when he didn’t get the head job last year he left the program and is an analyst at Illinois right now. Leonard is a guy who knows the B1G and would probably completely turn SC’s soft defensive culture around. If Sc…[Read more]

Game Day in SLC would be great. My dark horse pick is South Dakota/South Dakota State.

The 4 schools heading to the B1G have over 300 national championships between them. The B1G may want to rebrand itself as the conference of champions now. Maybe the LA schools can take Bill with them during basketball season so he can continue dropping that line as well as recounting his many experiences of attending Grateful Dead concerts.

Oftentimes Vegas won’t put lines on games with FBS vs. FCS teams. Especially if the FBS team is a ranked P5 team. It’s not just limited to that scenario exclusively though. If the line spread is way too big in favor of one team a line won’t even be offered. I remember a couple years back I was in Wendover for a weekend when Texas played Kansas…[Read more]

I’m not sure about Zach but Jaxon Dart holds the state record for most passing touchdowns in a season. I think he’s also #2 or #3 in pass yards in a single season and the kid who holds the state record is Devin Browne, who was Corner Canyon’s QB the year after Dart.

Corner Canyon’s coach also coached Austin Kafentzis who at one point basical…[Read more]

I’m really interested to see how the collapse of the Pac-12 and Utah’s (and also byu’s) transition into the Big 12 affects recruiting over the next several years.

I was surprised after Utah joined the Pac-12 at how fast the other schools starting coming after our local kids and just how many in-state kids would head west. Having seen it happe…[Read more]
