Are we looking better as a team because:
A – We have improved since the first of the year
B – The PAC12 is so bad, it make us look better
C – A little bit of both
In mid December I was hoping for 6-8 wins in PAC12 play.  I wanted to see some improvement.  We were simply bad.  Now it is viable that we could go 12-6 in conference play.  We could…[Read more]

I wish he would have picked Utah.  But, I totally understand why he didn’t.  When we lose a local D lineman or D back, it’s a surprise because of the number of kids we put in the NFL.  However, our offense has not been very effective.  Puca may have been able to change that.  What comes first – the chicken or the egg.  I would have loved to have…[Read more]

That’s all.

This board may soon become another UFN.
Let’s please leave religion and politics of this board.  I can go to alot of places to get that stuff.
I love Utah sports (especially football).  I come here to read about that.  I don’t really care what any of you think about religion or politics.
Go Utes

But, every now and then he comes up with a gem.  They were talking about recruiting and DJ asked if it would help teams recruiting against BYU if Sitake isn’t given an extension.  PK’s response was, “If you have to negaitve recruit against BYU you are in a world of hurt!”
 

Is that – it’s going to be a long 8 months.  I am very excited about this year’s team.  If we can add Nacua to the team, it will be even more exciting!
Can’t wait – Go Utes!!!

But, I hate the new transfer rules.  We are seeing all kinds of transfers especially at QB.  
QBs are typically the alpha male in high school.   Any QB that is good enough for us to recruit has to beleive that he is the “man.”  He has to believe he will be th starter, maybe even as a Freshman.  
So, in the spring of 2020, if Rising is the…[Read more]

The thing that bothers me is that this hire is once again – someone under the KW/Utah/BYU umbrella.  I hate that most of his hires are people he knows.  He keeps things so close to the vest.
Now, if KW did indeed try to hire RRod, Sark or McCoy and it didn’t work out – good for him.  But, does anyone really know that?
On the other side of…[Read more]

You aren’t going to beat good teams when you have 5 turnovers and you are totally incapable of running the ball.
We can fix the turnovers, but I am not sure what we will do about the running game next season without Moss.
I hate to see this season end like this.
In the end – this is just a football game.  Life goes on.
 
 

We need to keep passing it. If go to the run, I’m afraid we will have a bunch ogpf thee and outs. 

Oregon didn’t even get 100 yards of offense in the first half.  Stanford looks horrible. 
I hope that things change starting at 5:00 MST today. 

Thank you for your insights all season long.  You have been spot on with everything you have posted.  You have been a great source for information.
Go Utes!!!

Let me preface this by saying this just one old man’s opinion.  I’m not saying any of this is a fact.
First, there is no one who was happier that he decided to stay on to coach the Utes after the 2004 season.  I was grateful to players like Casy Evans, Madsen and others who went to his house the night he was ready to accept the BYU job.  These…[Read more]

I thought it was funny yesterday when some posted that Zach Wilson is not that good.  I know that his perfect passing performance was against a MAC team.  I don’t care if it was against Dixie College, it really was a great effort.  Now, does this make him Tom Brady?  No, it doesn’t.  Will he be a Heisman candidate?  I highly doubt it.  But, it was…[Read more]

The top ten were:

1. Chase Hansen

2. Blackmon

3. Bushman

4. Moss

5. Huntley

6. Covey

7. Anae

8. Gay

9. TakiTaki

10. Love

So, now the season is over, who doesn’t belong in top ten and who should replace them?

IMO – Blackmon, Bushman, Huntley do not belong in the top ten.  The other 7 had great seasons and belong in there.  I think Chase…[Read more]

I didn’t post yesterday, but read the posts.  I do not want this to become a board where we begin to attack each other’s religion, political beliefs, etc.  We are all Ute fans and outside that probably differ a lot in how we see the world and that’s okay.  
I like this board and have stopped visiting UFN.  Please keep it civil.
Go…[Read more]

I don’t think there is any doubt that our basketball team is not good.  Maybe the worst since coach K’s second year here.  How has he let this happen?  IMO, it is mostly because he loses good players every year.  We are not Duke and cannot bring in 5 new 5 star kids every year.
He will not be fired this year and I am not saying that he should…[Read more]

I wish Andersen would have stayed here.  I think he adds a lot to the defense.  I also hate to see Ena go, but for heaven’s sakes – he is getting a promotion.  I do not blame either for moving on for a promotion.  I believe both are leaving on very good terms with Whit and have not burned any bridges.  I understand that Gary is coaching the Utes…[Read more]

Thanks for this great site and all you do to keep enhancing it.  The other Utes site that I visited for over 20 years has become something I no longer like to visit (at least for Utah sports).  This is a great site with some excellent posters with good insights.  I appreciate reading other opinions and being able to post something without the…[Read more]
