The Miami Ute

The road trips would be more palatable, at least for me.

Bills fan alert….

As a long-time Dolphin fan, I love this move. Huntley is way better than Thompson and it wouldn’t surprise me if Huntley plays against Seattle this Sunday if Thompson isn’t effective. Huntley grew up in Dania Beach 20 minutes from Hard Rock Stadium so it’s a homecoming for him.

I had a front-row seat to that throw and it was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. It’s essentially undefendable. Only a very talented QB can make throws like that and shows the promise Wilson has.

Totally agree…if it wasn’t for Barnes air mailing some of his throws…well…

I’m not certain NIL plays a large role on whether Myles goes to USC or not. Besides what I’ve heard Riley say about NIL and how it’s used at USC, I know a couple of guys that are involved in House of Victory, the USC NIL collective, that have told me that they reserve their large NIL payouts for guys that have already proven themselves in college…[Read more]

Quick anecdote…if Utah would have won that USC game, they would have been undefeated going into the CCG that they lost to Oregon. That loss to Oregon, to me, is still the bitterest loss I’ve ever experienced as an Ute fan. And I had the misfortune to drag my 11 and 9 year old daughters to that game.

I have zero loyalty or empathy for the Big XII and, in cases like this, always root for the underdog. Especially a long time conference partner. As some old-timers here probably remember, UNLV came close to getting KW fired due to a beating they administered to Utah in 2007 (won 27-0). Go Rebels!

I can’t wait for this version of the Wildcats to show up at Rice-Eccles. We’re going to have a few surprises for them on defense.

I think 115 and 114 are reserved for visiting fans but I could be mistaken.

That Texas loss was due to the psychological blow of losing the CCG to Oregon. If Utah had won the CCG, they would have been in the CFP. Instead, they ended playing a highly motivated Texas team in the Alamo Bowl. It’s essentially the same reason Utah blew the doors off Alabama in the Jan 2009 Sugar Bowl. Bama had just lost the CCG to Florida…[Read more]

I’ll be there sitting in section 115.

Charlie, I love your stuff but I have to disagree on the 28-0 halftime score. Utah State is way more talented than SUU and we saw how Wilson did there. Granted, it was his first college game but I would have liked to have seen more consistency and accuracy from Wilson. The Aggies already have a defensive game plan if Wilson’s the starter. They…[Read more]

Ted Bundy graduated from Washington not Utah.

Jim, come on now. Remember that line about lies, damned lies, and statistics? Just look at Rising’s two TD passes against Baylor. One was a shovel pass where Parks did all of the work and the order was helped tremendously by having the drive start at the Baylor 3 yard line. If you’re insinuating that we’re cooking with kerosene because,…[Read more]

My concern isn’t really with Utah’s performance but rather how good other top teams have looked. I think that Utah’s defense, provided everyone’s healthy and Scalley has a good game plan, can keep them in any game against just about every team. The issue is the offense and whether it can get in sync against top defenses. I’d sure like to think…[Read more]

Not sure if you’re being ironic but, having watched both games, I have to disagree. He’s certainly not at the level of pre-injury 2022.

If Cam doesn’t play at all versus the Aggies, he will only have played three quarters and some change this entire football season. If his injury is minimal and he’s ready to go, he has to get some snaps prior to traveling to Stillwater.
