UW fan Chris Landon, predicts that Utah will repeat its 2018 performance, winning the south with a 6-3 PAC-12 record, but again losing twice to the Huskies.
I don’t see Utah losing three on the road, instead winning at Arizona and UW. Beating UW twice in one year will be tough, but this may be the year. I might be less unhappy with a loss to…[Read more]

I’ve be checking the net. Nothing on the 2020 Las Vegas Bowl dates or payouts. If aligned with the Belk Bowl, the dates should push to the right, say Dec 28th/29th, and a payout approaching $4.5 – 5 mil.

Brothers on the same team, not all that unique. But considering the Nacau brothers play the same position? Does one upstage the other? Seems like Colorado has bet that two brothers playing the same position is not an issue, as Liviska, as been joined by his brother Lavontae at CU. (Link)

You are correct – for 2016/17 numbers. I expect the 2017/18 not public, in summary, just yet.

– B1G: $37.0M per school.
– Big12: $36.5M per school.
– Pac12: $30.9M per school.

Agreed – on paper, eight months out it seems so. On the other hand, WSU, CAL, ASU and Utah for that matter, were not seen as big threats last year, to the demise of OR, USC and AZ.
Regardless, the 2019 season lines up as a great opportunity for Utes to repeat as South Division champs, and beating OR, UW or Stanford for the Championship. Lots of…[Read more]
tarheelute replied to the topic Looks like we picked up another RB in the forum Football 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Both are excellent overall athletes, probably the best pure athlete at their respective high schools. Wilmore is a RB, but also played OLB. Wissler was a RB and CB. Wilmore is 25 pounds heavier, more of a true RB. Wissler probably has a better shot a special teams, slot back, as I mentioned, more of a back up to Covey.
tarheelute replied to the topic Looks like we picked up another RB in the forum Football 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Another Covey, perhaps? 5th best in Utah, 134th nationally, (according to MAXPREPS). Looks pretty fast, maybe he can cross underneath, with speed, spelling Covey from the damage. Look a the pics on MAXPREPS – punt returner, slot back.
Otherwise as preferred walk-on, he’s got a confirmed spot perhaps, not as a scholarship athlete (85…[Read more]
