Nice repping the drum and feather at Alta!

Is this not the new reality of college football? How many fanbases right now are disappointed that a certain player from their team entered the transfer portal? How many transfer players are we excited to see come to Utah and the fan bases of their old school are sad to see them go?

The transfer portal reminds me that I am spending my entertainment budget on 20 year old kids playing football and I can’t let myself get too wrapped up in their decisions. I love watching them play but life still goes on. I do still believe that the Utah culture will help Utah navigate the portal in the best way possible.

I think most teams would be very happy with the Utes average season. The last two years winning the Pac 12 Championship was unforgettable and even though it feels like Utah regressed this season it is still a winning season and a bowl invite which most teams would call a successful season.

For the culture reason alone I hope Scalley is the next head coach.

I trust Coach Whittingham and his last 20 years as coach of the Utes. Of course things will change in a new conference but Utah will be a tough, competitive team because that’s who they are. I, for one, am excited for the Big 12 and think it will actually be more fun as fan bases seem to be much more engaged and passionate than Pac 12 fan bases. At the end of the day, college football is entertainment. It is like a great TV show I can’t wait to watch every year and always surprises you. I look forward to watching it and seeing how it all plays out.

Go Utes!!!

That would be fun!

One upside to Utes going to the NFL is it will help recruit players from the portal. Utah seems to get every year a couple of guys in the portal who contribute immediately. The more Utes to the NFL the better.

That being said I do agree that I don’t love the direction of college football with the transfer portal and NIL. It’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out. The 12 team playoff should be interesting next year.

I couldn’t agree more.

My buddies and I drove to the Vegas Bowl from SLC. We had a great time together and had fun but the game left a lot to be desired.

We all agreed that it may be a log time before we go to the bowl game. One of them had been to both Rose Bowls and the Vegas Bowl and is over going to bowl games to leave with a loss. I am sure he is not the only one.

I love the Utes and will support them but the Vegas Bowl left a lot to be desired.
