Hope he stays. He is a class act and loves the program. Wants to play in the NFL and Utah gives him the best chance. I might be wrong but there are still some players that look at the whole picture and not just money.

That would be a honor code violation.

Why the need to post on our site. I hope it made you feel better. I’m not sure the tide has turned in FB. One good year and suddenly you’re the dominant team? You won last year against our third team QB who played the second half with a broken foot. $$ has bought you players that would never consider attending your school in the past. Kudos to you…[Read more]

Curious to see if he has a deal already in place or shopping around to find one. I hope it’s worth it. He was set to be WR 1. New school, new program and new offense.

Ignore him and he’ll go away. If he is drawing attention he’ll keep posting.

Amen Yergi. Let’s wait until the last drive to start calling it.

I agree Rick. Getting a new offense that is player friendly will make a difference. Lots of unknowns with this team but the team vibe seems much better with the new offensive staff. I’m optimistic we can contend but not drinking the koolaide again.

Ludwig’s offense took a couple years to figure out and understand. Under Whitt it has always been run first. We haven’t had a gunslinger type QB that is throw first. Rising wasn’t a great downfield QB.

Obviously the offense was not designed for WR to get big numbers. Two NFL guys Vele and Patrick didn’t have big numbers.

I focused in on rece…[Read more]

Good point BD. All “Locked on Big12” cares about is ratings like any other media outlet. Cougar fans are a hot ticket for ratings. Utah hate + BYU love = more viewers. It’s just a matter of time when the roles will change. The wolf in sheep’s clothing. They’ve been the most despised fan base in every conference they’ve been in. Free ice cream a…[Read more]

Boosters now are being asked to donate year to year for players who will transfer for more money every year. In the past donors have built facilities and upgrades that help the program for decades.

NIL money is not sustainable. Once the boosters decide the ROI is not worth it they won’t return.

Thanks Aloha. I’ve had season tickets since the early 70’s. I retired a couple years ago and have a fixed income. I can’t justify the cost anymore. It’s been a great ride and no regrets. If I had the money I would renew. My 4 tickets have gone from $400 per season to $6000. I’ve been able take my daughter for 20 years and grandson for the past…[Read more]

Form the super conference and get it over with. Separate football from all other college sports. Form conferences with regional ties for the other team sports. College football is like a heroin addiction. You cant live without it. NIL, transfer portal, realignment, uneven playing field and rising ticket prices are becoming viable rehabs. It…[Read more]

AJ and his staff have a high basketball IQ. They know what it takes to win. Recruit athletes that can play defense. Develop an offensive scheme that fits their skill set. Houston has been the blueprint in CBB. AJ has commented on his admiration of Sampson and their style of play. Just the opposite of what we’ve been doing. Coach Smith and coach K…[Read more]

Nice post. The fun side of sports that gets left behind. Competing and having fun. That’s why they win!! Fun watch thanks.

Great posts krindor MDute and Rick. I enjoyed your evaluations of the teams. I drank the koolaide last year and can’t get the red dye ( from choking on it) out of my Utah gear. So I’m a little reserved on wearing my red goggles. BYU has upped their game and we have lost some recruiting advantages.

One X factor that wasn’t mentioned above. Last…[Read more]

Well said.

What is so disrespectful? “We can’t beat them so let’s make stuff up to make them go away” Your words not mine. My point being wearing garments doesn’t make you a BYU fan. I have many friends that went to the U or grew up in Salt Lake being Utah fans that are LDS. Many on this site. BYU fans mocking LDS fans for going to the U or rooting for the U…[Read more]

Nobody cared when we weren’t in the same conference and we were winning. Personally I felt vindicated for the past when we joined the pac12 and beat them every year. It’s an unhealthy rivalry because of religion. Growing up in Salt Lake as a non- Mormon i witnessed bigotry from BOTH sides.

It sometimes puts Ute LDS fans in an awkward pos…[Read more]

I agree with most of your statements Squatch. BYU football achieved its success through hard work and proving to the conference they belong. Credit KS for the turn around. Basketball is a little different. It’s the hypocrisy of saying everyone wants the BYU experience and we won’t pay for players to come. Church leaders saying we won’t be the h…[Read more]
