That could be a fun bet, but would not provide the emotional hedge. 😉 I could lose both the bet and the game (Utes). That would be a real bummer. 🙁
Great site. Thanks for creating.
kazute replied to the topic Grass or Turf? in the forum Football 2 years, 3 months ago
Thanks. I figured so. At least it should match field conditions of RES, so that won’t be a change.
kazute replied to the topic Ugh the dread is starting to set in. Feeling nervous about Fri. Coping tips? in the forum Football 2 years, 3 months ago
I am thinking of an emotional hedge bet where I bet on Oregon to win. If we win I won’t care about the financial loss and if we lose I have a consolation prize.
In the end, it is entertainment that we have little to no control over (except for the cheering). Would love to finally have a Pac12 Championship in football and go to the Rose bowl.…[Read more]

Will the Utes play on Allegient’s grass (Raiders) or turf (UNLV) field? I presume the turf (artificial) so that the Raiders can plan on a clean grass field on Sunday.

Bon Jovi – Livin’ on a Prayer was also played last night. We thought that should only be a halftime song with the “halfway there” and all that.

I was starting to warm up to Herm, until the blatant cheating through recruiting and COVID restriction violations surfaced.
kazute replied to the topic Wrist down? in the forum Football 2 years, 5 months ago
Thanks. I misunderstood the rule thinking that there was a difference between the front palm and back wrist.
The Rule:
Runner Down
• A ball carrier is down when any part of his body, except his hand or
foot, touches the ground (Rule 4-1-3-b).
• The hand/wrist and foot/ankle touching the ground does not put a
runner dow…[Read more]

First, that has to be one of the greatest halves of football by Utah I have seen in RES. So much fun!
Next, the point of my post. On the 50+ yard ASU pass play that went to the one (1) yard-line and let ASU score its second touchdown, the receiver (number 6) seemed to spin and put both his palm (ok) and his wrist carrying the ball (down IMHO)…[Read more]

The Utah Football YouTube Channel has been putting out some interesting videos. It gives more of an inside look at the program. I think that NLI is prompting more access to the players to provide them with more promotional opportunities.
I also didn’t realize how many people help run the program. From video specialists, strength and…[Read more]
kazute replied to the topic I listened to the entire alignment press conference in the forum Pac-12 2 years, 7 months ago
Ok. I read a bit more about the “alliance.” I am heartened a bit in that at least they are making public statements (absent a signed agreement) regarding “non-aggression” and “scheduling.” Going public is something I guess.
Though absent fixing payout major payout discrepancies, defections will continue to be a risk.
kazute replied to the topic I listened to the entire alignment press conference in the forum Pac-12 2 years, 7 months ago
I agree that an alliance and intact P-12 is Utah’s best chance at staying at the table. However, absent a non-solicitation agreement (no poaching) this doesn’t fix the risk of USC bolting to the B1G and taking with it the other cherries of the conference.
It all comes down to money. USC wants to consider its options due to the payout disparity.…[Read more]

Of course I wouldn’t expect direct answers to any question because confidentiality. But if it were under oath, I would pursue questions to get non-public information.
Otherwise it would be banal “What do you like most about your job? What do you like least about your job?”

Off of the top of my head:
1- What has Coach Whittingham told you about the timing of his retirement?
2- Who are the coaches in waiting, if no longer Morgan Scalley?
3- What other coaches did you offer before Craig Smith?
4- What has the Pac-12 (and new commissioner) told you about media, payouts and realignment (USC to B1G)?
5- What are Utah’s…[Read more]
