You can thank me later.

Quarterback soak is hard to execute well, and it requires crowd participation. No player motion before the snap, but you get pre-snap tight end motion by the fans jumping in the stands.

We are watching numerous players acting like Dorian Singer at Arizona. The bag is tempting, but a starting spot that has you on track for the NFL is worth far more than any one or two year bag and the associated risks of transferring. Dorian Singer’s year chasing the bag in USC may end up costing him tens of millions in lifetime earnings.

I don’t think it is inherently dirty, the game has just changed. (see link to video of Mike Singletary doing the same thing in the 80’s).

In many ways, I blame this type of defensive play in the current league on Mahomes and other QBs who act like they are going down, or act like they are sliding and then don’t. In my mind, that kind of play by a QB should be at least a 15 yard penalty, and potentially an ejection because it leads to this hit on Lawrence.

Also greatly enjoy your posts Krindorr, and I hope you keep on posting.

Although a U fan, I went to the Y for undergraduate school and am very familiar with the tension that comes from having ties to both schools. In defense of the cougar fans, many are ignorant blowhards who don’t understand the games their team plays. From their ignorance they lash out at anything they don’t understand. So don’t let them get to you too much.

I don’t think the state law does that.

The NCAA might argue that there is a violation of their rules “NIL activities may not be used to compensate an athlete for athletics participation or achievement (i.e., pay-for-play).” But, that argument would ring hollow as NIL agreements are exactly pay-to-play.

Do you know which law that is? I hadn’t heard of it.

There is no reason why the collective couldn’t have a contract. It would require organization to do. But there is no reason why we couldn’t be including such language in the contracts right now.

Growing up in Denver in the 80’s, I lived and breathed Broncos football. Free agency ended it for me when I realized I could either be a fan of players with no regard to their team, or I could be a fan of a logo and a team owner. I haven’t watched an NFL game in almost a decade.

With NIL, I am starting to feel the same way now about Utah football/college football. The fun is watching a program be built, watching players develop, and being part of a tribe. That is all gone. In the past three years, I have gone from watching every game to mostly just watching highlights.

At Utah’s first Rose Bowl, I thought that was likely peak Utah before NIL ruined the game. Turns out I was right.

He doesn’t just have “it”, he is “it.” He is the kind of impressive that comes from being a person of integrity and honesty, which is not just impressive to the young men, but I am sure is very impressive to the parents.
