Sometimes a talented guy just isn’t a good fit. It isn’t good or bad or anything else. What Utah wants and what he wants aren’t the same, so he went somewhere else.

He’s a great player and we will get to hear for years why didn’t we take him, but I’m ok with it. When Whitt/Scalley meet with a kid and there is a mutual parting of the ways it’s not a bad thing. I trust those two.

Ha ha! Mom, do not go outside tonight!

Funny Denver/Wilson story…kinda.

The Eagles wanted Russell Wilson. They had agreed to a trade with the Seahawks for Wilson for Hurts, the pick that became Jordan Davis, the pick that became Jalen Carter and a couple other picks.

Wilson said he didn’t want to play in Philly, so the trade wasn’t completed.

Good fucking lord Russell Wilson is who he is.

First place, first two vaulters fall over.

Game over.

I’ve seen the Jazz financials. They are doing really, really, really well in so many ways. It’s shocking.

They have some difference ways to get money from corporations and it was worked amazingly well…like their revenue in some key areas is top 3 in the NBA (and were consistently bottom three with the Millers).

Like him or hate him, he’s making a shit ton of money right now and having an arena with two professional teams…he’s not dumb.

What this means for BYU? He will continue to do these types of deals and BYU will benefit greatly.

He pays $30 million to BYU. BYU legislatures give him hundreds of millions for his sports teams.

Taxpayers…well they get to pay for it all.

It’s going to be wild. We will be shocked at some of the names that leave. And then we will be shocked at some of the names that come into the program. I dunno. It’s gonna suck overall, but I think we will be a better team when the dust settles.

We don’t recruit well enough to have a mass exodus of big time talent out of the program. BUT, when kids bail from Alabama, Ohio St, G5 schools; we are a good enough program and we put a lot of kids into the NFL that we are a very attractive place for players to come, play right away, win, and go to the NFL.

Players like Cameron Calhoun. I’d bet anything that the coaching staff already has a long list of players thinking about transferring from other schools, they are waiting until they can contact them and then they will go and try to land a few of these kids.

In the same token, I’d bet they already know who wants to leave/who they want to leave (upgrade) and are ready for that.

It will be wild. There will be some angry keyboard warriors. But I think we will end up ok a the end of it.

But it doesn’t mean that this doesn’t suck, because it does.

Kansas St fans were right! We have no idea what we are getting into! Playing USC and UW and Oregon and OSU and Arizona last year have not prepared us for the absolute GRIND the Big 12 is!!! We are doomed, I tell you DOOMED!!!

I feel the same way I felt pre-spring.

There are a lot of teams that “can” beat us. TCU, Baylor, Iowa St, UCF. There are some teams that will be tough for us to beat: Arizona, Oklahoma State. And there are teams we should beat, with or without a QB: Southern Utah, Utah State, ASU, Houston, BYU, Colorado.

A disappointing season is 9-3. We should be in the Big 12 title game. Anything less than that would be a disappointment. We recruit better than any Big 12 team. We have more depth than any Big 12 team. We have a better QB than any Big 12 team. And we should have the best defense in the Big 12.

We should win 10+ games. This is not a PAC-12 schedule. This is a strong MWC schedule. The top isn’t as good as when Utah, TCU and BYU were all ranked, but the bottom of the Big 12 is a lot better.

And after seeing Rising and Wilson play? We should win 10+. Anything less would be disappointing.

Watching him rear back with a defender being pushed to the side and really drive the ball down the middle of the field between two defenders for a TD…

Not many QB’s can make that throw, even less have the balls to try that throw and even less complete that throw.

Fucking beautiful.

Technically, we recruited him. We had just given our scholarship to Jack Fucking Tuttle, who is still eligible to play for Michigan. We offered Zach a walkon spot but he took the scholarship, and seeing how his career turned out, he made the right decision.
