UTE98

So the other day on 104.3 the Fan here in Colorado they were talking about how late round QBs are not worth the draft pick. They basically were throwing out stats for QBs drafted after the fourth round and said they were a waste of a pick. They said the only two exceptions were Tyler Huntley and of course Tom Brady. Not saying Tyler Huntley will…[Read more]

Get yourself to the Huntsmans tonight!

My daughter’s friend who got accepted to BYU, apparently this is a big celebration this time of year, anyway… her friend tipped her off to this gem.

Zach Keller – ever heard of him?
So my daughter, a senior here in Colorado mentioned one day Zach came to class in Utah gear. She asked him why and he said he was being recruited by Utah. I told her, tell him it’s a great school. Anyway fast forward to the past three weeks. The team at my daughter’s high school, also where my wife works is ranked…[Read more]

The U because of Majerus great basketball teams. I am an absolute huge college football fan, but love a good college basketball game. I watched Purdue against Illinois today, and pined for the days of Majerus, with Miller, Mottola, Doleac, Van Horn, Grant, Jensen, etc.
We’ve had some other good players come through post Majerus, Bogut, Poetl,…[Read more]

Heard this on the news the other day, Jared Broussard is the 18th Buffalo to enter the portal this year.
 

Broussard is the 18th scholarship player from CU to enter the transfer portal since September and the 14th since the season came to a close on Nov. 26. He is the fourth player to go into the portal in the past six days.
Broussard is also…

I’ve been thinking about how this year compares to 2004 and 2008.
2004/2008 we had a lot of things go right. Same QB for the whole year. I also don’t recall any major injuries on either of those teams. They definitely accomplished more than could be expected with those rosters.
2021 – Yes many things went right this year, and I think that is a…[Read more]

So to win that OSU game we would have had to play an almost perfect game.
When you look at overall recruiting rankings which really factor in 4/5 star players here is how Utah did against teams above them.
#3 best roster Ohio State 16 – 5 stars / 49 – 4 stars (48-45 L)
#9 Oregon 4 – 5 stars / 44 – 4 stars (38-10 and 38-7 wins)
#10 USC 2 – 5…[Read more]

As any of you who attended the game in the upper rows can attest those stairs are a bit higher than normal. Each step is I would guess about an inch higher than ones in your home. That may not seem like a big deal, but to an octogenarian Utah fan it was more than he could do alone. I saw him about 10 rows down standing in the aisle. Then I saw him…[Read more]

So I have been thinking for a while how excited I’d be for the last of my college football experiences to be checked off my bucket list.
My experiences/stadiums were Notre Dame, Michie Stadium, the Big House and THE Rose Bowl.
So my favorites ranked best to worst?
1. THE Rose Bowl (yes a loss) when you combine the Rose Parade, highlights of…[Read more]

Money Parks – FR
Devaughn Vele – R-FR
Jaylen Dixon – Jr, is he coming back? We could really use his speed.
Solo – Jr, will he come back? I can’t remember.
Players I’m interested in seeing what happens with…
Conner O’Toole, 6 ft 4 in, you’d think we could use him for some jump ball type throws.
Munir McClain – transferred from USC, will he…[Read more]

overall our Special Teams played pretty well. 
Hard to kick touchbacks at that lower elevation. And Covey’s return was awesome to watch.
But the one play which may have swung enough momentum in OSU’s direction was that muffed catch by our punter so close to our goal line. It really energized their offense and put our defense in a huge…[Read more]

On Wednesday heading through the Virgin River Gorge 45 minute delay.
Then today maps tells us to get off in Mesquite and take an alternate road around something causing a major slowdown on I-15. Get back to the on ramp for the next I-15 interchange and Arizona police show up a few minutes earlier and close down the on ramp. So I had to take the…[Read more]

You could think they were arrogant but I felt like they were excited to escape with the win. 
It’s easy to be confident after the win. But that is not who they were for 90% of the game . On the way out of the stadium I heard a guy say, “we don’t lose to teams like Utah.” Whatever! That same guy was probably like the fan behind me. Spent 90% of…[Read more]

#StBernard – willing to do what it took for the team
#thiccboi7 – played a great game led the team to a great offensive first half, 35 points, almost as many as we scored against Oregon in a whole game.
#WinterSoldier – Barnes came in with nothing to lose and executed when needed.
#CP3O – loved watching his interception. It was down in the end…[Read more]

Fun little place. Went there tonight and many of the little beach houses are lit up in Christmas lights.
Bonus: If you’re an Arrested Development fan they have the frozen banana stand the Bluth one is based on.

Pitt, we had no shot in that bowl game, right?

Watched quite a bit of the LA bowl and was impressed with Legas. Most of the year was 3rd string. 2nd string for the bowl game and absolutely crushed it. First ever pass in a game… TD in a bowl. If you missed the game but have a chance to watch the replay you should. HEY finished the season really strong.Beat SDSU and Oregon At to finish. I’m impressed.

What a faux pas!!!!!
