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]

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

that is all

A lot of players left Majerus’ teams through the years.  The man was demanding and not always in the best way.  Yet we revere him and his accomplishments (rightly so).  Today, Coach K has to deal with the transfer portal.  I.e., the average number of transfers is much higher today across the country than it was back in the Majerus era.  How much…[Read more]

Ben Renfro looks like really promising.  4.45 second 40-yard dash, 295-pound power clean, and a 3.93 second shuttle time.  The fact he has been a reciever means he knows that side of the ball and can be a real interception threat.
 
Looks like a diamond in the rough.  Utah has a way of finding these guys and developing…[Read more]

I’m worried about his health as I am sure he is and everyone.  Here is an article of interest on that:

Olineman in the spring at WSU, via 247’s WSU homepage:
 
“Before Osur-Myers missed the last three practices, he was the top performer on the second-string offensive line this spring, according to CF.C beat writer Braden Johnson”
“He was the most consistent guy on that No. 2 o-line at right guard,” says Johnson. “Being on the second-string…[Read more]

So are you all seeing this? There is a slow burn move from the Drum and feathers logo to the double U logo. Me personally I like it.  Two questions 1) are you seeing this like I am that it is a concerted movement?, 2) what do you think?

In a row.
And only 1 turnover

The transfer portal is something to get used to and may be a metric to gauge the health of a program?  Utah has 6 in the portal.  UCLA has 15!  What does this tell us about UCLA football?

Who Utah lost to this year very much does matter!
A season is the body of work, not the last game.  Lets remember: Utah finished 3rd.  3rd.  really 3RD in the Pac despite relying heavily on freshmen.  3rd of 12 in the pac-12.
I does truly suck immensely to lose in the quarterfinals 3rd year in a row.   However, it is definitely noteworthy that…[Read more]

Anybody I missed?  Anyone coming back that will be in time for at least fall camp not on the list above?
 

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….
