Give credit to both ADs for scheduling this on such short notice. Winner should take on Cincinnati, for the opportunity of a New Years day bowl? Not a fan of BYU, but they are making the most of COVID and independence. Next year they will go back to sub-mediocracy, certainly as Wilson moves on to the NFL.

Considering the known-knowns/unknowns (health, practices, facilities, fans), and the unknown-unknowns (COVID idiocracy), I chose to be moderately optimistic, expecting Coach Whittingham to have had his players at least conditioned ready to go.
5-1. – Arizona State worries me. They will be ready as well.

But starting and ending when? Everything in the news/blogs talks to Oregon and other schools balking at anything sooner than the 31st. Otherwise I would not be unhappy with a PAC12 only schedule.

As one of my favorite characters once said “…knock it off with them negative waves”. Oddball was not, but could have been talking about PAC12 playing football in 2020. I propose my six (seven) game schedule starting on the 31 (or 24) October. What say you?

Post signing day fun.

Shaken by the last two games, but taking the season as a whole, I agree with USA Today; Utah Ute Season was a A-.

Many of us are knowledgeable; many too busy drinking red koolaid, or curled up in despair, to be reasonably informed or interesting. I keep my inner-snowflake in check, and read Pace’s comments, and cooresponding responses, if not for entertainment purposes.

Wins over Montana State and BYU at home to start the year. Cal, Colorado, and UCLA all away, and after playing Wyoming and Arizona State – on the road.
