I mentioned this kid a few weeks ago.  Hillstead (a sophomore) has led his team to an undefeated season against some foe the top programs in the state.  
Some suggested that he is too small to play college QB.  If he doesn’t grow, this may be true.  However, this kid is an athlete much like Covey.  I would offer this kid a scholarship…[Read more]

I assume that this was to appease the Cal schools that will not allow fans.  It appears that most of the Big12 games and SEC games I have seen today have 10-20 K fans in the stands.  I guess they don’t want to give any team an advantage.  If one school can have no fans – then no school in the conference will have fans.
Interesting side thought -…[Read more]

There won’t be any fans, but a snowstorm should be in our favor.  They will probably schedule the game at 8:30 PM.  The locker room will be one big porta potty.  
 

He also said that we will NOT play Oregon as our crossover game because they would not have been on the schedule this year.  That would also mean – no Stanford.  That leaves UW, Cal, WSU, and OSU.  Bill thinks it will likely be Cal or UW.
Hopefully, we play Oregon for the championship.

prior to Dec 18, is WSU,  However, I bet it will be Oregon.

I am not sure who to be pissed at, but I am ticked that the PAC12 hasn’t got football worked out.  
Urban Meyer said if the PAC12 doesn’t play this year it will be catastrophic for the conference going forward.
I am pissed at:
Larry Scott
Governors of California and Oregon
Mayors of LA and SF
Anyone getting in the way of starting football.

I hope this is true.  We could play 7 games by Dec 12th and a championship game on the 19th.
I hope they can pull this off!!!
 

That’s all.

From ESPN ranking the best rookie debut for each team:

I was in Wyoming yesterday and ran into a man wearing a BYU hat.  We had a pleasant conversation at first.  He explained that he worked at BYU.  He found out I was a Ute fan and said, “It’s a good thing you didn’t play us this year because we would have kicked your butts.”  He was not trying to be funny.  He was dead serious and seemed a bit…[Read more]

But, BYU totally dominated them.  The Cougs could go undefeated, but it will mean virtually nothing because of their schedule.  This may be the best Sitake coached team.  However, no one will ever know if they are a very good team or not.

I was reminded what a stud Johne White was.  Wow, he could find a hole and was strong for his size.  Dunn had a great season with 4 kickoff returns for TDs including one in the CU game (NCAA record).  Travis Wilson was a freshman and just not good.  He was forced to play way too soon.  By the time he was a senior he was not bad but never great. …[Read more]

The Max Hall jinx continues.  They have not beat the Utes since his rant in 2009.
 

Go Utes!!!

This kid is a sophomore QB who has lead his team to three blowouts against three of the best teams in the state including Bingham, Alta, and Orem.  I don’t know much about him yet.  But, he looks very impressive so far.
I hope KW and the Utes are keeping in contact with this kid.  Too young to offer IMO, but I would make sure that he knows you…[Read more]

But, I wanted to make an observation and read your thoughts.
The two P5 conferences that eliminated fall football come from mostly blue states and the three P5 conferences that did not eliminate fall football come from mostly red states.
The ACC is a mix of states that include blue states, but the majority of the schools come from red states. …[Read more]

It will give me some football to watch.

It will give me some football to watch.

They are a bit depleted.  Better than starting with Oregon IMO.
 

That’s all.
Go Utes!!!
