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.

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]

I like, other than the 7 hours I would have to stand in line before the game and all the fake vaccination cards that would be presented.

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]

This showed up on my YouTube feed this morning. Just the shot.

It got me sucked in for some reason.

I remember Creekside Park well. Played the “frisbee” course a few times, but never did very well using just a frisbee. Looked like a fun activity to try out again.

When I was even younger, there was a swampy area that we would wade in and catch frogs. But small snails would climb up your legs under your…[Read more]

Seems like a young kids game. Like really young.

Yes. I was impressed with the overall production quality. They announce on a delay talking over the footage, so the response can’t be that spontaneous, seems real time though. One of the announcers was a guy in the competition that was just in front of the final group of 4. He ended up taking 3rd place I believe.

Noice! I think it is really an annoyance for Whitt to play the BYU game. There is so much pressure on this game. Win and you were expected to. Lose, which we will at some point, and jeopardize a playoff run.

He is super focused on first winning the south, second a P12 championship and finally, if possible, a playoff birth. The BYU game helps…[Read more]

I like to see articles about Utah in ESPN, but I don’t believe this article provides any new internal insight. It just reports what we already know. There is a QB competition. Whitt has been saying in his pressers that they wouldn’t even really be able to make real evaluations until Wed (yesterday) when the pads come on.

I still think its Brewer…[Read more]

In taking a look at the ourlads.com depth chart, there are still a few updates required.
– LDE – Blake Kuithe has medically retired.
– RDE – Maxs Tupai is not on the roster.
– Punter – A new Australian kicker just showed up that is not listed.

Since Maxs is not here, I hear Kyle mention that Xavier Carlton and Van Fillinger and Miki Suguturaga…[Read more]

The last “official” depth chart I remember came out during spring practice (before the new arrivals).

The team posts depth charts when updated through the UtahUtes.com website under Menu>Sports>Football>News here: https://utahutes.com/sports/football/archives

An outside third party (ourlads.com) projected depth chart is maintained…[Read more]

I have been thinking the same thing since the Spring Game. We look good, but so does everyone else. Everyone has a ton of talent returning.

USC plays the same teams in the Pac12 as us but gets to swap Oregon for Cal. Plus we play them at USC. That one game alone would likely end our South title hopes. With the tiebreaker, USC would have to…[Read more]

For me Majerus. Not as much as him as a coach, but the memories I have during that time. Always relevant. VanHorn buzzer-beaters. New Years Eve midnight game against Tim Duncan and Wake Forrest. 1998. On and on.

I do have fond memories of Pimm as a very young kid. Anyone remember the 4 corners basketball before the shot clock?

Thank you coach Fassel. Sorry to hear of your passing.
