Found this article when looking at the ESPN article. About the Pac12 would listen if others came calling.

Maybe because she wasn’t offered a job as travel agent.

Crazy, the more information comes out. Lying about false charges on a credit card, cancelling the card and email being compromised aren’t that hard to…[Read more]

At one time when I lived on the East Coast I lived close to one of our former coach’s high school buddies. He scored us tickets to the UNC game, Louisville game and often provided me a ton of inside information. Like the plan A Utah and Colorado to the Pac12 about 6 weeks before the announcement was made. Before Plan B was even in the news (Texas…[Read more]

I would like to buy either a full size or mini helmet from the Spring game. I have been keeping my eyes open to see if they would sell them. So far I haven’t seen any announcements on here or other Ute sites.
I just checked the Utah Bookstore and couldn’t find them. Any idea if the U will be selling these? I’d love to buy one and hope the…[Read more]

In striking g distance going into the last rotation. It will be tough, but it could happen!!!!!!!

Putting this in football due to Holliday Jr.
While working in Virginia, yes these stories again, I had a co-worker who recommended the following book. You might be able to get it in PDF, or possibly an audio book. The chance of picking this up in the public library is not very good. They had it available in Virginia but probably not Utah. My…[Read more]

…look very similar. They look like they could be brothers. Not sure what it is about their faces.
 
Have I officially lost it? I’ve thought this for years, but never heard anyone else mention it. So it must just be me.

Tim Patrick was targeted 79 times this year, and had 51 catches.
I couldn’t confirm this but I heard the following stat on sports radio here in Denver last night.
How many drops did Tim have this year?
 
Which of these categories did he lead the team?
Avg yards per catch (players with more than one game played)
Completion percentage on…[Read more]

I just read this article, read it until the end, but not until tomorrow. Let today be about LLTJ!
Article: Football is destroying itself
 
 

Go UTES!

Since I’m just a fan, how do you feel about Notre Dame’s talking about not participating in the CFP if they get assigned to the Rose Bowl?
This is a year unlike any other we’ve witnessed in College Football.
You’ve got the history and pageantry of the Rose Bowl, vs the California politicians, and the third part are those teams who will be…[Read more]

I couldn’t help but think of Northwestern and how we’d take the foot off the gas. 
Overall I’m happy with how the team played. I blame this loss on really poor play calling in the second half. And Kyle’s playing not to lose. Can we just once on 4th and 1 goes a Ben Moa special or sneak Kuithe up the middle of the field. 
At halftime I told my…[Read more]

Positives – and there were plenty.
Defensively we have some really good young talent. I think the tackling was better this year against USC than I’ve see for the past few years. Clark Phillips got beat on that one TD but overall he performed really well. I’m excited to see him improve against D1 talent.
Rising – he had some decent plays, I think…[Read more]

So if Utah football was successful early on during the less risky months actually hurt the late October/early November onset of viruses?
So we all know there is a cold and flu season. And we’re heading into the heart of it right now. Would seem Covid-19 would follow a similar track, wouldn’t it?
So while the Pac12 grab assed around trying to…[Read more]

The title of this article to me seems rather interesting.
“Troubled UNC player recants slur charge”

So does Scalley deserve more or less punishment? I’m not sure Ndiaye ever received any sort of punishment. It was his last game as a senior. And he had a history, as you can read in…[Read more]

Putting it in football because it relates to the Scalley situation.
I am not condoning what Scalley did, because it looks bad. But… there is likely much more to the story. And honestly, nobody really cares about the rest of the story because they judge it on their own biases.
1. Not black enough!
When living in Virginia, around 2003, I used…[Read more]

Mel Tucker leaves Colorado in the dust: What it says about the state of the Pac-12

 
Though it is mostly about Mel Tucker’s departure, it lays much of the blame on the Pac-12, Larry Scott and mentions the difficulties Western teams face.

Had to put this in the other Utah sports category. Had a trip to Utah planned. Women’s B-ball last night. Women’s tennis this morning and sitting in the Maverick center to watch the Red Rocks. Two daughters and I are having a great time. Head home tomorrow. Love being in the Pac12 for the increased competition. Overall our non revenue sports are…[Read more]
