I picked up your mom from the transfer portal. Didn’t require much NIL money.

It’s good that LSU didn’t make the final. OU will be tough though, as will UCLA. They probably need to clean a few things up to have a chance at winning on Saturday. They looked good though.

Hey, we got one good year out of Tavion Thomas. Maybe we can get a good year out of this guy.

I hear you, but sometimes it can go well (see Taysom Hill, Tebow, etc.). Our lord and savior Urban Myer was very good at coming up with ways to manufacture success through things like this. Obviously these sort of “hybrid” situations look great when they work, and terrible when they don’t, and they haven’t worked well at Utah for a few years…[Read more]

Even Oregon would be horrified by that court.

I watched from home. The pass that sailed through the hands of Mason Madsen as he was looking at the coach instead of the game pretty much summed it up. The victory was there for the taking, and we couldn’t quite close the deal. WVU got the upper hand at the end, and didn’t let it go.

Well, I am glad they are successfully tanking this year. The last two years seem like a bit of a waste.

I’m much more excited for the Mammoths, and it warms my heart to see everyone chugging their beer on the jumbotron in honor of Ryan Smith.

I like UHC and Mammoth in that order. Either way, I would like to hear a lot more Mastodon in the arena soundtrack.

The should just cut right to the chase and change the “Outlaws” option to “The Porter Rockwells.”

He doesn’t seem to meet the requirements, but the NCAA seems to be handing out eligibility like candy these days, so here’s to hoping.

“insert himself into the offensive equation:”

Kyle will apply for a COVID year of eligibility, and make himself the starting fullback. His calves would repel tackles.

Lud’s offense required the quarterback to use pre-snap motions and reads to figure out what the defense was doing, and run the play (or change the play) accordingly. He then had to be on the same page with the OL. WR, RB, etc. about reads during the play to get the ball to the right place. Cam did that pretty well, and the results were good…[Read more]

The guy was reasonably successful in his first year running Beck’s offense. Maybe we get some other hot-shot QB in the portal. Maybe we don’t. I would feel pretty good either way if we have Dampier on the roster. This is the closest we could possibly get at this point to continuity on the offensive side of the ball (in a good way, anyway).…[Read more]

My biggest hope is that Beck will be able to do whatever is required to move the ball and score points with the personnel available to him. Hopefully he can also help QBs develop. We will see.

I’m wondering what the Lohner situation really is, and if he will make an impact if he joins the team. I would hope that after a season of football, he will bring a physical inside presence.

Yeah, it will also be interesting to see if the team shows up to get a win, or is already checked out. Also, will they bother with a #2 quarterback, or just let Bernard take over if Bottari needs to come out of the game (or just start punting on first down)? I think I’m going to Alta, so hopefully someone will post a summary.

Wilson must be great in practice, but in games, he is clearly the worst QB on the roster, and it’s not close. Ludwig and Bajakian must have been seeing something during the week in practice that made them think Wilson would be OK (or someone promised him playing time). Either way, Whit probably should have stepped in to sort this out a lot…[Read more]

Someone on the training staff. I’m hoping the bad feelings have been exaggerated, but at this point, who knows?

There was an incident with Wilson in the days leading up to the game. I’m a little surprised he dressed. The leadership council basically voted him off the island. I’m not sure where that leaves things going forward, but I’m not sure the coaching staff felt like they could have put Wilson in the game. That might have led to some poor decision…[Read more]

Well, since it sounds like the team doesn’t seem to care much for Wilson, and he hasn’t exactly been leading them to victory, the situation seems to be spiraling into the center of the toilet. Who knows, though? Hopefully they can get it together. Maybe the defense will start scoring more.
