Dominated by Penn St and Ohio St? Jesus you guys. Get out of the pity party.

It was 14-14 at halftime vs PennSt. We were up by 2 TD’s vs Ohio St at halftime. We fucking dominated Ohio St.

Both games were lost when Rising went down. Shit.

Huh? What top 20 team will we face this year?

So many fans think the Big 12 is some powerhouse league here. It’s a solid league. Not as good as the P12, but still tough.

Our DL did just fine in the P12, where USC, UCLA, UW, Oregon all have better OL’s than any we will face this fall.

This is such a silly point. UW is rowdier than any Big 12 stadium. As is Oregon. Hell, does BYU have a bigger stadium than any Big 12 team? Yup. BYU has a bigger stadium.

As does Florida and Michigan and USC.

Big 12 fans act like we haven’t played in a hostile environment because no one cares about Stanford.

It’s a joke. There is no sta…[Read more]

To LA for NYE? Yessir.

Third times the charm!

The last time we went 5-7. We were pretty bad that year. So many dropped INT’s.

That guy’s not nearly as funny as he thinks he is.

Anytime you travel across the country, you’ll probably lose. That why Alabama doesn’t leave the south.

This is silly. Alabama plays Georgia twice every six years. They only have 8 conference games and a lot of those vs shitty teams. They play 2 G5 and one FCS every year.

And their one “big” OOC game? It’s in the southeast (so no travel) and it’s usually vs a team that isn’t as good as their name says.

Alabama is the king of saying all the right…[Read more]

Sure. How do you win in football?

1- have an experienced OL. We have that. We have 3 NFL OL. That’s incredible. We don’t fully appreciate how hard it is to find 6’6 guys who are 300 lbs who can move like ballerinas. And we have a lot of those guys.

2- have a great QB. We have that.

3-have an easy schedule. There is a reason why Alabama never…[Read more]

Here is the reality:

We have three levels of college football:

B1G/SEC

Big 12/ACC

Everyone else.

And in 2030, the Big 12/ACC won’t be around…or look drastically different.

Everyone is trying to jockey into the B1G and SEC. Utah has to put themselves in a position to get into the B1G and SEC as best as they can.

The question then…[Read more]

I’m tired of caring about everything.

Will there be college football? If yes, I’m in.

Uhhhhh. We play UCF in Orlando this fall.

We already go coast to coast.

I’d rather play Miami than UCF.

This is a no brainer. If money is equal, the ACC is better hands down.

The Big 12 sucks my dudes.

Seems like if we’re going to build a giant, ugly monument, then we should put up something that is more reflective of current American values and prevailing attitudes.

Something like, I dunno, each hand angrily flipping off the other with the inspiring motto “Ego got meus ut vilis” (I got mine, so f**k you) boldly etched along the side.

I kid, I…[Read more]

The Big 12 will be tough. And anyone can beat us.

BUT, we are the best recruiting team in the Big 12 the last 3, 4 and 5 years.

And in the PAC-12, Oregon, UW, USC, Stanford, UCLA all recruiting in the top 25.

NO BIG 12 TEAM RECRUITS IN THE TOP 25.

The schedule is easier. No doubt about it. It’s not MWC easy. But it’s not P12 hard. There…[Read more]

Here is an interesting take:

Let’s say you are a coach of Ole Miss. This kid plays his FR year, gets his $100,000. Come time for sophomore year, he is due $700,000 if he starts. Sure, he is good enough to start, but you have a couple other WR’s who aren’t as good, but almost as good.

Do you start them over this kid so he doesn’t get the…[Read more]

It’s ugly. It’s a waste of money. It doesn’t actually help anything.

Sounds like something some rich douche would love to tell everyone how awesome he was because he (or she or they) made it happen. lol.

There’s a reason why the top 3 is usually Ohio State, Alabama and Georgia.

And there is a reason why they go after 4 and 5 star guys and not 3 star guys.

Stars matter. A 5 star has an exponentially better shot at the NFL than a 3 star kid.

I fully appreciate what Urban did for Utah while he was here. His contribution to Utah athletics can never be understated.

However, the dude is an absolute dumpster fire. Just a garbage person all around.

And WSU’s has a HUGE segment of Seattle. Yes, WSU is in Idaho. BUT they have a massive fanbase in Seattle and up and down the west coast. They have every opportunity to take advantage of a huge market and a fertile recruiting base.

And they didn’t. Well, maybe they did once or twice with Drew Bledsoe and Ryan Leaf.

Like I said, do better. They…[Read more]
