Whittingham said something in the post-game interview that was like “this offense is going to be really good.” He knows football and he doesn’t toss out stuff like that all that often.

I don’t think we’ve seen more than about 25% of the plays, and we won’t again this weekend. The less film OSU has to study the better. Cam will likely sit…[Read more]

Next question.

I’m in favor of people doing whatever they please. Did they buy a ticket? Do they want to be in their seat an hour early? Fine. Do they want to wander in during the second quarter? Also fine.

Enjoy the game however you please. Don’t let a buncha random message board weirdos tell you how to live your life.

I’m frankly SHOCKED that USC didn’t jump us after beating an overrated LSU team.

Ok grandpa, let’s get you to bed.

The defensive strategy seems to be allow the opponent to drive or shoot at will and hope the bigs can get a block. Rebounding is optional, although we tend to be close or ahead in rebounding just by sheer size.

I would be SHOCKED if there aren’t at least 5 teams from the SEC in the playoff. CFB is crooked and fixed, and that was clearly demonstrated in the playoff selection.

Holding is holding and the rules are the same no matter what the scoreboard and the clock read. I don’t like KC, but all the gnashing of teeth over this has some serious USC vibes.

I wish I had the same rosy outlook. This game just shone a spotlight on all the things wrong with the team. With enough talent, you can mask a general lack of fundamentals, but we don’t have that.

Turnovers, UO second chance points, offensive rebounds, 60% FT shooting, poor shot selection, poor offensive executuion… The only thing this team…[Read more]

Please someone explain to me why we are gnashing teeth over Nate Johnson. The Utes are 2x champs with Rising, trending up, and generally killing it. I get that he’s a good player, but Nate hasn’t really contributed much so far. Players come and go…

If Nate Johnson was some kind of savior/superstar type, he’d have beat out Cam for the…[Read more]

My main criticism was the following situation:
Utes down 10 points with 9 minutes on the clock. On first, second, and third down, the clock is running, and the Utes use up the ENTIRE play clock. Why are we not snapping the ball with 20 seconds on the clock? Are we so afraid of their offense that we are going to try to run a 7 minute drive and…[Read more]

Rick, I don’t know what you are smoking but Larry’s teams haven’t been a win or two away from the tournament since 2018. Since then:
2019 17-14
2020 16-15
2021 12-15

Even if Lohner added a few wins, none of those teams were going to sniff the Dance.

The Colorad9 game will be, as Bill Walton would say, “a celebration of life.”

Holy shit. That’s one heavy dude.

I have a couple of thoughts on this.

1. When playing a bad team, you shouldn’t be in a position to lose because of 2 turnovers.
2. UW scored on their last 4 possessions.
3. This result would be acceptable if it wasn’t the exact same script, time after time after time after time. This result is what Larry has prepared this team – nay, this…[Read more]

Let’s examine Larry’s shortcomings:

1. He loses players – consistently.
2. His teams underachieve. Forget the performance vs. the media poll – that means nothing. Look at all the times he’s lost in the first round of the PAC 12 tourney, even when he had the higher seed. Additionally, the couple of his teams that made the dance (like a…[Read more]

There is very little evidence of Coach knowing what he’s doing.

Here’s my view. He got to Utah and scored a few huge recruits early on. That lead him to think he could get blue-chip recruits, which, without criminally cheating like USC and Arizona, he was never going to get. Meanwhile, he can’t keep the players he does land, so he’s always…[Read more]

All blame leads back to Larry. Your argument is that you can’t blame them because they haven’t been together, but Larry is to blame for that because he can’t retain players. So he’s creating his own mediocrity.

Also, Larry’s teams, even with great players (Poeltl, Wright and Kuzma on the same team) have grossly underperformed. That team lost…[Read more]
