McBride of Frankenstein

amazing no media source actually explored this, but does anyone find it interesting that magically the height of the current south end zone scoreboard fits perfectly into the design of the proposed south end zone even though the scoreboard was put in place about two years before the announcement?  Not a big issue, but I think administration knew…[Read more]

If Utah succeeds through strong development, who do you think, hope, or have information on that is going to take a big step forward next year?

First, I am a HUGE Coach K guy (and not  just today).
Second, I know (but can’t explain it) that basketball live attendance is down across the nation…..
 
Urban launched/ branded the MUSS.  Where is the muss at MensBB games?  I was in the pep band in the Majerus era and I could have never predicted that in the Pac-12 era with a good coach…[Read more]

1) our average stars will be at / near all time high this year.
2) how long ago was it we weren’t even in the conversation with cruits like McDaniels and Willmore?
3) some stud running back will see a great path at Utah next year unless (even better) Brumfield or ? emerges.  
3) Jim Harding has become a recruiting force!

So Guidry with little time for training logs the sixth or 7th fastest time in the world over 60 meters!  The Olympics are next year in the Summer.  This will be an interesting and hopefully positive thing for Utah athletics and Guidry himself after next football season.  The timing of the US trials will be important for him.  COuld be disruptive…[Read more]

Cameron Rising a good sign for Ludwig’s recruiting….

Positive indication of Ludwig recruiting.

I don’t know Ludwig well, but if he has already coached for Whitt then they know how to work together.  This reduces the risk of a one and done OC which is the very LAST thing we need.  Ludwig also owns the single greatest season in Ute history.  I think this sounds like a sound hire.  
Anybody know what kind of recruiter he is?

Kind of surprised that there isn’t more chatter on this.  I don’t think the local (less than creative) media really asked Whitt much about this.  Lets help out.  Who are the candidates nationally that might work?

Ena and Anderson.  NOT essential.  Look at the big picture here.  Just competed closely for PAC-12 title.  Program continues to rise.  In recruiting, whatever happens happens.  Some recruits want to play for college glory (what a big time program I am in sitting on the bench) in spite of long term preparation (athletic, academic, family, playing…[Read more]

And we’ll keep on fighting…

Two thoughts on the South end zone expansion.
1) Facilities are about the recruiting war too.  Game day locker rooms was maybe our achilles heal.  This is perhaps a big part of the expense — paying for top of the line locker rooms.
2) Don’t begrudge the luxury spaces!  Rich people paying rich people prices for awesome space means a combo of…[Read more]

I have been a fan of Huntley overall so know where this is coming from.  I completely supported his selection over Williams last year and loved him last year.  This year I think he is showing himself to be below average (among p5 schools) at passing IN HIS SECOND YEAR and above average at running/ dual threat.  I think he is now maxed out.  It is…[Read more]

We haven’t been hearing about him in the DE stories or the LB stories.  Is he redshirting?  Is he injured?

Beeno seems like a great kid.   Regardless of what choice he makes, it is a personal one and it is his to make.  I firmly believe that fans should NEVER hassle a kid for making a personal decision. 
Ok.  That said, the U has so many advantages over USC.  Here are the first three that come to mind.
1) USC wastes 4 star talent while the U polishes…[Read more]

I think that whichever team BYU/ USU loses to the other will see coaching losses.  If Wells beats BYU it is tough for him to get fired.  If Sitake loses again to USU, he will have redefined BYU as the now third program in the state.  That is a big game for those two rivals.
