Do you think it’s Monson trying to get back at the internet for when he got punked with fake recruiting news?

The proposal is for 70 of the “power” teams to be permanent members of the “power” division. There would also be a single 10 team division of “non-power” teams who get promoted and relegated based on (hopefully) performance.

At this point, I think something like this, as ridiculous as it is, might be the only thing that can save college sports…[Read more]

He’s running around, throwing touchdowns, running for touchdowns, and taking all the first team reps. He’s not wearing a brace. The injury he suffered will probably cause him to feel a bit off, and make crunchy noises with his knee, for the rest of his life. If he can move on the field, and change direction without thinking about it, he’ll be…[Read more]

Nice. I’m trying to find the cheapest/easiest way to bundle espn+ with a streaming cable service that has ESPN, Fox-sports, etc. I’ll check out the Fubo options in August.

Not to go all dystopia membrane, but I do follow a Big Sky team closely, and that conference is all on ESPN+, as are many NHL games, so that will be a “+” at least.

I am…[Read more]

Just imagine their how mad UCLA would have been if they picked up Battin from us instead :). I liked Lazar, but I really like this team this year. There continue to be some growing pains, but they seem to get better every week. The second line coming in with Smith and Keita is ridiculous. It just keeps the energy rolling.

I’ll second the anyone running behind Bamidele Olaseni, and add in Chris K. for good measure.
For an actually ball carrier: Chris Fuamatuma’afala, or Cam Rising.

This was a setback, for sure, but was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Toga! Toga! Toga!

We are gonna need to scrap, but the opportunity is there to try to climb the mountain again, and I hope we are up to the task. We really do have some talented players in the pipeline, even at QB, and especially on the lines, which bodes well…[Read more]

Yeah, the implementation of things like this are always weird. I support the general idea of Title 9, but some of the impacts were brutal. Many schools had to cut many men’s sports to make the numbers work. I suspect this will have a similar impact.

It sounds like schools that are not current P-5 football members will be left out (at least…[Read more]

All this time Whit and Rising have been playing the long game to fool Dan Lanning. He’ll never see it coming. Or maybe Rising used his NIL money to buy himself a seat in section L.

That play where Vaki plants both feet, comes to a complete stop, then runs around half the USC defense into the endzone, is one of the most outrageous plays I have ever seen from a Utah player. He’s stout enough to play linebacker, but he’s quick like Covey.

Oregon has much better coaching, especially in-game. If they are getting 4+ yards per carry, unlike USC, they will not stop doing that all night long. They will also have a well-thought-out plan to stop Vaki. They will probably not help us win, like USC occasionally does.

That said, if there is a blizzard on Saturday, maybe we pull out…[Read more]

Does Simmons have the authority to fire Grinch?

It would be kinda fun for the whole crowd to be waving WSU flags in solidarity.

My aunt used to say: “Oops, stepped on a duck,” whenever she farted. I might try to work that in somehow.

I would be ecstatic if he returned next year. He has taken Utah to two PAC-12 championships, which is really the pinnacle of Utah football.

It really is decision time for that sort of operation I think. If he doesn’t return this week, there is not much time left this season. I would think playing next season (possibly with Kuithe?) would be…[Read more]

In his PR thing on Monday, Whit specifically mentioned he would like to see the offense take more shots down the field. I would love to see that happen. Weber State seems like a great opportunity to try to really stress that.

He has heard things like that he is being held out to wait for Cam or waiting for conference play. He seems upset by these comments.

Some of us need to take a step back and calm down a bit. We all want Utah to win. We all want the best quarterback on the field, and want every DB to pick off every pass.

We could probably get by with a little…[Read more]

From the UteZone article: “Ja’Quinden Jackson has practiced all week and it would be very surprising if does not play Saturday.”

They also sounded positive about Curry potentially being ready. There is a reason Vincent is not at the top of the depth chart, but he is serviceable, and I would love nothing more than to see him tear up Baylor.

This…[Read more]

Well, Barnesjohnson scored more than enough points, and had zero turnovers, so I’m on board.

Who knows how good Florida really is, but they sure have some athletes. Our ability to stop their running backs was impressive.
