Nice post and totally agree, all 3 major programs in the state look to be in excellent shape when it comes to QB.

I ate at Red Robin last night … and that is a horrifying story.

Not too worried about it, Barefield tested the waters last year, Collette the year before that, and both came back. The fact that Jayce Johnson’s name is also there is ….. interesting. Couple that with the report in the Trib that reportedly Johnson feels he should be more involved in the offense and methinks that he has a higher opinion of his…[Read more]

It will probably make us more aggressive in our play calling inside the 40 since we won’t have a near guarantee of 3 points.

Interesting that you mention that because I was discussing the midfield logo with my Dad at the Spring game. Personally I’d go with the drum and feather, but I wouldn’t have any problem if they went with the interlocking U’s.

Some of the transition seems to not necessarily be away from the drum and feather, but also away from the block U (especially TV graphics.) In my opinion the interlocking U’s and the D&F are both preferable to the block U. I’ve held off getting a U of U license plate for years because the only option at the moment is the block U. If they went…[Read more]

Jayce was an early entry so he very well could be close to graduating.

Not the flashiest of hires, but a solid one. He gets his teams to the Dance, though they don’t always do that well once they are there.

I’ve never heard of a mercy rule being implemented in college baseball, but according to Wikipedia (for what that’s worth) it’s available. The IBAF rule mentioned is 10+ runs lead after 7 complete innings.

“In regular season or conference tournament NCAA and NAIA college baseball, the IBAF rule may be implemented. Most NCAA conferences limit…[Read more]

Ha ha, at first glance I thought it said 53 minute rounds and I thought “that’s insane!”

Definitely not disagreeing there, a lot of improvement needs to be made. We had no offensive answers if our threes weren’t falling or were taken away … and we just lost our 2 best three-point shooters to graduation. If Rylan Jones is a good as advertised I think that will help immensely, but that’s a lot to heap onto an undersized freshman.…[Read more]

I disagree that the Utes are light years from being a tournament team. Oregon just made a run to the Sweet Sixteen and gave Virginia a battle before bowing out. We led them at the half…a very ugly first half but still. Not suggesting everything is rosy in Runnin’ Ute land but if these last two recruiting classes 1. stick around 2. are as good…[Read more]

I think there’s more to this tangled web that will be revealed. Sounds like much of the league leadership was blindsided by this.

Geez, I thought they would make it through the first year at least. I wondered how well a team would do here because of the unpredictable weather in early Spring that would undoubtedly hinder attendance. In general, people won’t sit in bad weather for a team to which they have no emotional attachment.

Completely agree, if there was one thing I would overall in college basketball it would be the charge/block call. I just hate when a guy’s driving to the basket and a defender slides over with the sole intention of getting run over with no designs on actually playing defense. I’d like to see it changed to the defender has to at least be in an…[Read more]

NFL (and frankly all sports) should go to the PGA Tour’s standard on video replays: it has to be obvious in real time, not slow motion. If you look at 2 or 3 replays and your first thought is “well…I don’t know” the call stands. Obvious errors need to be corrected, but we shouldn’t be holding refs to some impossible standard.

Didn’t realize we could still join, consider it done.

Hopefully the Suns’ plane hasn’t left, Jimmer should probably be at the press conference when he’s announced as the new head coach.

No question, if there’s one memory I’ll have of Shyne it will be that go ahead TD run against BYU.

So your idea is to have his limbs flailing even more out of control than normal? Brilliant!
