That would be a blast; what a fun idea!

Very cool Tony, and great photo! Any favorite memories of Bandon you don’t mind sharing?
Thanks as well for the link to your blog; I’ll definitely check that out!
And yes, I too thought it would be fun to talk about something other than Cam or our complete and utter laundry list of injuries for just a bit.
KoolWhitt replied to the topic Adventures in Golf – Bethpage Black in the forum Misc 6 months, 1 week ago
Nice Jim! Never been to Bandon but it is very, very high on my list. Which of the 4 was your favorite? And which one did you skip?
When I played Bethpage, one of the guys I was paired up with was wearing a Pacific Dunes sweatshirt so I asked him about Bandon; he also had played 4 of 5 (skipped Old Mac). Definitely had very cool things to say…[Read more]
KoolWhitt started the topic Adventures in Golf – Bethpage Black in the forum Football 6 months, 1 week ago
A Gators fan asked UteHub prior to the Florida game about where to golf in Utah, and based on responses it seems like there’s quite a few folks here who like to play. The stars aligned for me yesterday and I got to play Bethpage Black, and I thought I’d share. Tony, I apologize if this should be posted elsewhere but I didn’t quite know where to pu…[Read more]
KoolWhitt replied to the topic Now Chris Curry is out for the season. in the forum Football 6 months, 1 week ago
I always thought pro sports would be the best job ever, and then I read Andre Agassi’s book. He hated tennis but had ridiculous natural ability and it was all he knew from an early age. The lifestyle of a pro tennis player, apart from the money, sounds awful. You’re never home, never consistently around anyone other than your training staff and…[Read more]
KoolWhitt replied to the topic Is there a timeframe on the return of the other injured starters? in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
In today’s press conference, Whitt didn’t discuss anyone specifically but said many of the guys who missed the Florida game are day to day. He said he hopes to have at least a few of them back for Baylor.
Reid appears to have been a concussion. Whitt said there are 4 steps to clearing the protocol and returning to the field. He said a week is mor…[Read more]

Welcome to the board, and thanks for stopping by. We all hope you enjoy your visit to SLC and to Rice Eccles. We are thrilled to be hosting the Gators and look forward to a great game.
I’ll leave the stadium questions to my esteemed colleagues; I haven’t lived in Utah for several years and haven’t been to the stadium in quite a long time. As fo…[Read more]
KoolWhitt started the topic Spencer Fano gets rating bump in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
He is now the number 1 recruit for the state of Utah, and just barely outside the top 100 nationally.
First time in I don’t know how long (at least a decade?) that the state’s #1 recruit stayed in state. So excited that he’s a Ute!
KoolWhitt started the topic Mikey Matthews Now Composite 4-Star in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
Mikey Matthews got a rating bump, taking him from composite .8867 to .8944. He is now a composite 4-star recruit.
That makes 7 composite four stars in this year’s class; if we can somehow get Lyons to commit (fingers crossed) that would make 8. And three more coming via the portal.
Incredible job by our coaches and staff recruiting this year. E…[Read more]
KoolWhitt started the topic Utah reportedly still in the running for Akana in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago
247 sports just posted a video discussing some high profile recruits, and discussed the state of Utah’s #1 rated player, Tausili Akana.
Both experts agree that Oklahoma is the leader in the clubhouse to sign him, with Texas and LSU also strong candidates, but both also mentioned that Utah is in contention due to a strong late surge. To…[Read more]
KoolWhitt started the topic Dallin Holker to Colorado State in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago
I don’t think anyone saw that coming. Many, myself included, thought he would almost certainly be a Ute. Perhaps a sign that Utah has landed someone else at TE?
Good luck to him.
KoolWhitt started the topic Possible good news on Snowden? in the forum Football 1 year, 4 months ago
Another crystal ball prediction on 247 just posted today on Smith Snowden coming to the Utes, with a 6 (medium) level of certainty. This pushes the U to close to 93% of prognostications for Snowden coming to the U, whereas previously we were at about 91%. Not a huge jump obviously but hopefully a prediction in favor of Utah 24 hours before…[Read more]

Not sure if you all have seen, but FiveThirtyEight published today a very interesting analysis of possible candidates for Big Ten expansion.

Dang. Would have loved to have him but it sounds like he’s got a good thing going there. Hope it’s a great situation for him. Also glad he didn’t go to Oregon.
KoolWhitt started the topic Looks like Siaki Ika might make his decision on Monday in the forum Football 3 years, 4 months ago
He didn’t specifically say he’s announcing, but he did just tweet that he’s dropping big news on Monday. He would be a HUGE get and I really hope the Utes land him. He’s an East High kid if I’m remembering correctly so it would be super cool to see him lace them up at RES, so close to where he grew up. Whatever happens, hope he finds a great…[Read more]

Seems like a great get; 2 sport athlete. He’ll need to put on quite a bit of weight to play on the O-line. Wonder if he stays there?
KoolWhitt replied to the topic Utah Jazz should they trade for Mike Conley? in the forum NBA 4 years, 10 months ago
All indications are that Holiday is absolutely not available. My wish list, in order, is Kemba, DLo, Harris, and Conley. However, with how strongly the Jazz seem to be after DLo and Conley and the fact that there has been absolutely no mention of the Jazz continuing to persue Walker in several weeks, it would seem that Kemba has probably told them…[Read more]

Incorrect. USC lacks both the Fiesta and the Sugar (but they do have a veritable bouquet of Roses). Interestingly, and to offer some help to future responses, if Utah can achieve this, it would be the only PAC team to do so…

Incorrect. The Tide has never won a Fiesta Bowl. They have played in the game once, in 1991, but lost to Louisville.
