McBride of Frankenstein

Sorry to see him go.  Is this a sign he was behind in the depth chart from where he wanted to be?  third or even fourth?  Behind
Bishop Hubert Vaughn?

 
The #WinterOlympics begin Friday and there will be 35(!) athletes with #UofU ties competing in Beijing. That’s more than any other university in the world.

Higher score means more diverse. 
Our score: 40.7%
Here are some states are approximate to our level of diversity:
Ohio 40.4%
Minnesota 40.5%
Pennsylvania 44%
 
I post this based on periodic references to our socio-economic composition which…[Read more]

Do we expect more signings today?  Thinking about  Sidney Mbanasor and Justius Lowe.

I saw Brandon Roses’ average catch distance was 16 yards over his high school career.  Random thing, but seems very impressive.  I couldn’t find the average catch distance for Johnson.

Don’t think “this year”… think overall brand strength in a neutral year….. propensity for networks to schedule us.  Excitement of other out of conference teams in scheduling us.  Desire of bowls to invite us….
These are the top 3 brands in the Pac-12 in terms of name cache.  
USC
Oregon
Washington
 
Where does Utah sit after that?  Who…[Read more]

1) The series is TIED 32 wins each
2) The game is on Fox network TV!
3) Colorado has the most coaching turnover in the country during the time of Wittingham’s tenure (ya’ll probably heard that stated in the Oregon broadcast).
4) as of noon on Wednesday there was no information about the uniforms.  Not sure why it takes so long for the uniform…[Read more]

That is all

UW is a real threat to our program and is a PAC-12 competitor.  BYU is not a credible threat.  Hopefully this sets UW back a little.  I’d happily send the best players every now and then from PAC-12 foes to BYU.  It doesn’t make up for BYU’s paltry overall recruiting.
Meanwhile, I am super excited about Bumphis

Looing for silver linings here…  Any word on how the fall football postpoinement/ cancellation affects the construction timeline for the stadium?  Maybe they are accelerating it?

I’m calling it right now.  We are going to the Pac-12 Title game for a third year in a row.

Where he was is not necessarily where he is.  Growth can happen especially learning from ignorance.

Great prospect

Will you be known forever?  
 
If you are on the team that wins the Rosebowl for Utah, you will always be known.  Even after you die.  If you are the USC, Oregon, Washington team that wins that same rose bow….. “hey, good job.  thanks”.  This is the power of building a program and knowing YOU built it.
 
I will always know the UTES that win…[Read more]

The history of Utah football has crests and valleys, but the long-term trajectory has been positive.  When we suffer a setback like the Oregon loss, I think back about where we were, where we are, and the fact that change takes time.  Where are we now?  We just won the south division back to back.  4 years ago, what would you have given for that…[Read more]

go here.  pick more, select Utah, select Huntley, vote.

When will we see Bam next?  Any word on his injury?  He didn’t look ‘in the know’ last week, but he did look BIG.  More like he needs to learn.  Experience teaches….

Which 4 games do you use to play Olaseni (if he redshirts)?  Personally, I’d pick 3 and hold 1 for the PAC-12 Champ game (just in case) or until/if we are eliminated from that possibility.
 
ASU, UW, and…. Colorado
