Unlike our friends down south – when a Ute transfers to our rival, I don’t say things like, “He is dead to me…”

There is a nice article in the Dnews about Maile transferring to BYU. Maile was very positive about his former teammates and coaches. He already has two degrees from Utah and wanted some change in his life. He didn’t think he would…[Read more]

D-line Article
It sounds like our coaches are very happy with our D-line. The D-line was not our biggest strength on defense since 2019. That may change this year.
Go Utes!

He obviously will not be able to play this season. We will lose a lot of receivers at the end of this year. i.e. Vele, Pittman, Kuithe, Yassmin and more. We will need help at tight end and receiver in 2024. Maybe it’s a good thing that he won’t be able to play this year.

A couple of my favorite quotes:

“Cam’s my guy. When we get together, people will know we have a connection right away. … I know he’s going to want to give me the ball and that’s what he’s told me since I’ve been here. He loves my skillset and loves the fact that I like to get open, and he likes throwing to open receivers,”…[Read more]

You could spend days talking about the PAC12 and its demise. The PAC12 has been good for Utah. There is a lot of blame to go around for what happened. Larry Scott was terrible. His mistakes led us to where we are now. It’s hard not to feel optimistic about Utah’s chances in the Big 12.

12 years in the PAC12 has changed Utah athletics. Look…[Read more]

Today’s interview with Cam Rising:

Says he is doing good with limited reps. He claims to still be on pace.

Lud and Whitt challenge the QBs and put them to the test. He doesn’t think that there is a lot of separation. He feels that the scrimmage today will help the coaches make a decision.

Ball security is the most important thing to the…[Read more]

I know a lot has been posted here about Barnes in the last few days. Riley Nelson was interviewed on the radio yesterday. I think he explains it best.

He said that KW’s team is first – defense and on offense it is run-first. That is no surprise. He said that he will pick a backup who is least likely to make mistakes. He feels that KW is not…[Read more]

BYU has 10,000 more seats than RES. They are saying that this leads to much more revenue for them. I am not so sure. I believe our ticket prices are much higher. Does anyone know how much money we make a football game in ticket sales. I would estimate that we make about $10 million per home game in ticket sales alone (including mandatory…[Read more]

Utah is listed with Tennessee and TAMU as the most underrated teams. I am not sure if this is true or not, but it is nice to get the recognition and publicity.

Go Utes!!!

I know what Kuither, Rising, Vele, Bishop, Tafuna, etc. have done and can do. I am really looking forward to seeing the progress and development of these players.

Yassmin – He had some great runs after catches last year. I look forward to seeing him in the open field.

Pepa – I am a big Papa fan. He saw limited action last season in part…[Read more]
