It will be his first game with new teammates, new coaches, and a new scheme. I suspect he will not be at his best when the Bruins play Utah. But, he is a talented QB.

9 spots to fil this late in the game is an issue. However, in the new world of portal players it is not as big of an issue. Yet, I suspect the best of the portal players have already made their decisions.

I suspect Alex will need a few years to get this program on solid footing. BYU’s coach did amazing h=in his first year, but it sounds like…[Read more]

There was a game-time decision not to play Rising.

Krindor, I really only disagree at LB, but not much. I would call it equal. Also, Utha lost a lot of studs on the Dline. I would probably call that overall equal. I hate to say this, but I think his may Utah’s weakest defense in a decade or more. However, surprises always seem to pop up, like Bishop, Lloyd, Anae, Chase Hansen, etc. I hope a…[Read more]

The portal and NIL have made college sports a mess. Hard to blame a kid for going after the money, but when you are already well compensated, you should keep your agreement. I would be reluctant to bring this kid into my program if I were a coach.

I have posted before that the Jazz must do something next season or they will lose their fanbase. They have been tanking for three years now. This off-season, they must make some significant changes or the fans will no longer show up. This has gone on way too long. They have already lost me. I have not watched a minute of Jazz basketball in…[Read more]

Well said AZUTE.

I do believe that there are some people who will donate forever. Ryan Smith’s wealth is estimated at 1.4 billion and growing. If he invested 200 million an account that made him 10%, he could donate 20 million per year without feeling it. He is totally invested in BYU basketball, making BYU one of the top 5 highest paid teams in the…[Read more]

I agree that the concept of NIL was good. But, it is now out of control. I do think that Ute Dub is right that we will likely not be able to reign in this mess. This is why college sports is becoming less appealing to me.

I agree!

Yeah, I hadn’t read the comments. After reading your post – I decided to read them. So many Cougars are full of hate. Posting comments like these shows who they really are. The good Cougar fans typically do not post comments. I stopped reading comments when I read comments that a wife deserved to be shot and killed by her ex-husband in a…[Read more]

I did too, but I do not want to see that happen again.

You are always welcome here. I have always enjoyed your posts because they are honest and based on facts. Sometimes, this may make BYU look better than Utah, but that’s okay.

Previously, I would go to CB fairly often. Now, I do not go there. Some on that board are so full of hate that it just makes you feel dirty. I have said it before, and…[Read more]

Afernee, I agree with you on our 025 tight ends. Andrews could be a stud, and King is a solid player.

But, I have a question for you: What makes you optimistic about 2025? I want to be optimistic, but I am very concerned about our D with graduation and the portal. Our offense should be better, but we were terrible, so that isn’t saying a lot.…[Read more]

I don’t care if it is related to money or not. I think this is a direct result of how terrible our team looked last season (terrible may understating on offense). I hate it, but BYU played well last season. They looked like they were having fun. We stunk and we looked like we were miseraable.

I love Utah football and we better dig out of this…[Read more]

It looks like you became a fan in the late 70s / early 80s. Your list is comprehensive. Nothing to disagree with.

Here are a couple of players who I loved to watch who were before your time:

Mike Newlin – He was a stud who had a long NBA career. I think he led the nation in free throw shooting percentage.
Merv Jackson – He was a sophomore on…[Read more]
