Utah

Here you go. Let’s see if this sticks.

An interesting stat:

LaVell 22-7 vs Utah. Pretty damn amazing. Lavell had a .758 winning percentage. Props due where props are due.

Pre-LaVell. 41-8. Utah won outright 77% of the time.
Post LaVell. 10-4. Utah has won outright 71% of the time.

It appears that LaVell was a really good coach. And, it…[Read more]

But, I just went to the pick ’em part of the site and clicked on standings and nothing shows up in the weekly section. Would there be a way to have it update the standings after the games end? Or is that just too much work? It’d would be fun to look at the standings and mock those who have picked bad picks already.

Or to have the USC/Alabama…[Read more]

I am actually very pleased with our play. Yeah, we should have won by more. Yeah, our OL struggled at times. But we were really, really solid.

Williams was good in the throw game. Our WR’s made some plays, McCormick looks good.

And our defense? Wow. We were fantastic defensively.

What do we need to do this week?

Fix the OL. We need to…[Read more]

We start out slow. Everyone freaks out. BUT, here is why: We will try to stay as vanilla as possible. We will run, run, run. SUU has a couple of 300+lb starters, including a guy who is 30 years old. What does that mean? When we run, run, run they will stuff, stuff, stuff…for 1/2 a quarter or so.

After we go three and out once..maybe twice, we…[Read more]

So, normally I’m labeled as a homer. But as the season gets closer and closer, I am getting scared. The more I look at this, the more and more and more I feel like we may slip up this year.

I think all my concern comes from not having seen Troy play. IF he can limit turnovers, we win 9+. If he can limit turnovers and be any threat throwing the…[Read more]

Check out the man coming to take the reigns from Huntley’s hands after Williams leaves.

All five of the P5 conference champs get in.

Rank them 1-5.

The first bowl game of the year (right before Christmas), you have the 4 vs 5 game.

Then, play the rest of the games as normal:

1 vs 4/5

2 vs 3

Easy fix.

So far, we are 5-0 when I watch the game on my phone in line for rides. 3-0 vs BYU, 1-0 vs OSU, 1-0 vs ASU. We were originally going to go during the week of the USC game, which had me pumped, because we NEED to beat USC if we want to be good this year.

But, Disney added extra days to their Halloween Trick or Treat stuff and made it so if we…[Read more]

Utah best case scenario:

Utah runs through their schedule, going 3-1 or 2-2 vs USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon. They win the south. They play a top 4 Stanford team and beat them in a hard fought OT game. They go to the playoffs and lose in the title game. I’m still not sure we are deep enough to win two games in a row like that. Or they win…[Read more]

the most impressive teams they saw on their training camp tour this year.

So, instead of spending time with my kids, I’m doing this.

Standings coming into this week:

#07 Stanford 5-1 (5-0) [8,6,6,4,4,4,4,8]
#20 Oregon 5-2 (3-1) [20,18,NR,NR,NR,NR,25,25,23]
#21 WSU 5-2 (2-2) [NR,NR,25,23,23,13,18,24]
Washington 4-3 (1-3) [17,17,16,16,NR,NR,NR]
Cal 3-3 (1-3) [NR,NR,NR,NR,NR,NR,NR,NR]
OSU 1-6 (0-4)…[Read more]

Hope he sticks with Washington.

Nice on multiple levels. lol
