Of course there are several metrics: wins, development, recruiting, flashy/innovative offense/defense, culture. So, depending on many factors, hard to say who is ‘best’. So, is there anyone else that I would prefer over Whit AT Utah? Nope. Actual number doesn’t matter. Nice he continues to get recognition. Most coaches put him super high and do…[Read more]

Could you imagine him saying what he probably really thinks? I have a QB1 and the only reason we will have a QB2 is because we can’t have 3 QB3s, haha. He’d love to have 3, 4 deep that he’s confident in, but it’s like most schools, you probably have confidence in 1.75 QBs (hoping for 2.5 …). Sounds like Rose has great talent but isn’t as fast…[Read more]

Current urban has lost his OCD edge. The same reason he was good (at Utah, Florida, Ohio St.) was also what made him have health issues – he wants to control everything (which turns out good for team success). I think with some mellowing, and all this NIL mess, he wants no part in coaching – makes plenty from FOX with less stress.

I feel like he could’ve been a backup for a couple other teams for more than the league minimum. I know Philly was looking but then got Pinkett. I guess Ravens were ready to move along. I think Browns could pan out, but I don’t think he really has a shot at starting there so I’m mostly disappointed he had to sign for the league minimum. Backups…[Read more]

Because we are still new kid on the block. jk

I don’t get all the doom and gloom. Can’t win in Utah anymore? Come on. 18 wins ain’t nothing. Middle of the conference is not ‘bad’. Just in comparison with the glory days 20+ years ago. Coach K had 5 20 win seasons (2 NCAA inc. sweet 16, 3 NIT). Boylen had 1 20 win season (1 NCAA, 1 CBI qf), Giac had 29 wins with Majerus leftovers and NAA sweet…[Read more]

Big 12 basketball I would posit is deeper than SEC football. You could join the SEC and draw a favorable schedule. Or an absolutely miserable one. UGA’s schedule last year was a joke. I guess with the expanded league, you have a few more good teams, so there would just shift to 4 almost guaranteed losses from 2 with 2-3 50/50 (at this point in…[Read more]

He’s got the circle, triangle, square, AND flick left/right moves.

They kind of need to win the next 3 (Qaudrant 3) games to have a chance for the tourney I would think. Then they either need to beat Oregon and/or 1st round of conference tourney to get to 20 wins just to keep that chance on the edge of the bubble (last 4 in or last 4 byes). Anything less than a 4-1 end likely means NIT at best.

Well, the 2nd place team usually makes sense (loser of CCG) but could be someone who doesn’t make the CCG (not sure if this is the case anymore as divisions seem to be going away). But you still need rankings for #3 in the SEC and B1G as well as the 3 at-large bids.

Fox and ESPN aren’t going to be happy paying Illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, Maryland, Rutgers, Vandy, Arkansas

Yeah, how long do these conferences keep these teams around other than for ‘easy’ wins? Seems costly, but gotta buy wins somewhere/somehow. Seems like in conference expansion, there is a need for contraction or sluffing off some of t…[Read more]

Last time anyone noticed them

I feel more pity or meh than ‘liked’.
Mizzou – I just haven’t really ever heard anyone with a strong opinion either way about MO (or St. Louis, etc.).
Rutgers – probably just NY/NJ connections?
KU – feel bad they are bad for so long that when they show some promise, people get excited (but I think people want BB to lose).
Boise? disagree -…[Read more]

Sometimes I wonder if sites like this even know if Utah is not in Provo or BYU isn’t in SLC. I think there sometimes is a mix. But if it’s hated teams vs hated fans, that’s fine with me. Utah was the BCS buster, UCF claimed a natty, Liberty is, well Liberty. The rest are generally past or present powerhouses so people want them to lose. Utah might…[Read more]

Looking forward to it this year, and yes, it’s the last game of the season

Probably better for TV to have them spread out, but I don’t like it. But I’ll deal with it because I’m a fan. I’ll just act like an entitled brat for a little bit, stomp my feet, and nothing will change. Ok, I’m just visiting my 2 and 4 year old niece/nephew, so maybe it’s rubbing off.

Traveling that week is what puts pause in my plans, even with parents that live in FL half the year, 2 cousins that went to UCF. It went from me traveling to having to consider taking the whole family but it’s also the start of my Senior’s last basketball season so she will refuse to go. So either split family or watching this one on the couch.…[Read more]

Texas/OU was played mid-Oct because of the Texas State Fair

I have bundled Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+. I pay about $27 a month. I use an AMEX Blue Everyday card and they give me like $7 back for the bundle plus 6% cash back.

I had Hulu before, then added commercial free. I got Disney+ for the kids right before it came out and got it for like $4/mo for 2 years by paying up front. But had to wait for that to expire…[Read more]

1. BYU, CU – others will rotate too much to be there, but agree TCU might become one just because of MWC history
2. KSU – similar styles, OK St. – have always been solid
3. Texas Tech for sure. Road games to Cinci, WVU, UCF
4. UCF. Great recruiting grounds, so they’ll have talent. We won’t play them as much, but when we do, hope we play later in…[Read more]
