USC Stanford. That game is by far my favorite. Hands in the dirt, no glitzy glam, no out muscling. That game is played to the last whistle every year regardless of the score.

36 teams in regionals from 6 host cities. Top 2 from each city move on to nationals which is 12 teams for nationals. 6 compete in the afternoon. 6 compete at night.

There’s something going on for sure.  10 is low in international competition.  Skinner is putting up higher than 10 level routines and the NCAA judges are docking her for ticky form landings or minor balance checks.  Broadcasters were pointing out slight deductions on Merrell-Giles’ floor routine that ended up making a 10.  No slight on MaKenna…[Read more]

Painful to watch.  Is this the worst 3 shooting ever by the Utes?  

Alabama, Stanford, Utah in a row.  Good luck.  Remember looking at their schedule with wide eyes.  I think that’s why the is PAC unique.  SEC, B10, B12, you know for the most part the type of ball you’re getting into. PAC12 you get hand in the dirt games one week and air raid the next. 

Legit metric but previous game doesn’t take into consideration team mentality.  ASU for example plays Stanford and USC before us.  A close game against USC or Stanford, they might have their gears in overdrive for a win against Utah even if those games were loses.  Or might be giving up on the season if the loses were very…[Read more]

There were plenty of posts about Carrington coming to Utah negatively.  Remember them well. My thought was that Kyle Whittingham isn’t stupid and he knows a hell of a lot more about this scene than I do.  Sure, not all of the risks work out, but something I can do is look at production on the field – And Bernard can ball big time.  Call it a cop…[Read more]

Caught the end of the game. Great win! Was Tillman out?

Yeah, these judges we’re off. I can understand hard scoring. But they were completely inconsistent on top of hard scoring. Super 6 they’re harsh judges but at least they’re consistent.

No doubt Rich Rod is a good coach but Sumlin comes across to me as a program coach looking for the right landing spot for success. Yeah, he might not get the top recruits of A&M but I’d bet he can pull some recruits away from Washington and Oregon and in the backyard of So Cal. My cousin went to Blinn and transferred to A&M so I’ve followed A&M…[Read more]

Missed Kevin Sumlin who was the reason I actually started thinking about about the HC hires in the conference.  I think Sumlin is an A+ hire.  Time will tell but I think he’s a perfect fit for the Wildcat’s offense and can recruit with the best. I’d put money on Sumlin doing better than Kelly. Bold statement but not sold on Kelly doing Oregon…[Read more]
