Probably not. With our luck Oregon will move up 1, Wiscy will call right in front of us.

Deserves mad props along with TH for that beautiful pass and catch. Nacua’s adjustment on the ball which was placed perfectly, that is a top ten team play.

A few weeks ago i was going to jokingly call for the termination of our special teams coach. You know, “Fire Ludwig” style. TIC
So what is the cause of Utah’s special teams efficiency being so low?
Not enough FG attempts/makes?
Not enough touchbacks?
Too many returns out to the 30?
Punting just not long enough? Punt coverage?
It doesn’t feel…[Read more]

When you see some of the examples of how limited students (Covey) are as opposed to their classmates, it sheds some light on another dark corner of the situation.
When an athlete is restricted from activities which enhance their major, i.e. business it kind of sucks. Money making…[Read more]

I found this article interesting and thought provoking. Health issues, mental health issues, life.

I have a co-worker who played softball at Utah State and was in a 27 year relationship (funny she’s dating men now but not sure what is driving that), my best friend from age 4-12 came out to…[Read more]

So there are several possible unintended consequences.
First the NCAA is going to fight this tooth and nail. So we’ll see how that goes.
Second, what happens if say a different states legislature makes it illegal for an amateur athlete who is getting paid to play in their state. So let’s say Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah all pass laws, what…[Read more]

I’d say the Pac12 South is tougher than the North right now.
South has not teams with a losing conference record.
North has three teams with losing conference records.
 
College football?
SEC West? Big 10 West? Pac12 South? 
I’d give the edge to the Big 10 West, however Pac12 South has a good argument.

Going to be a roller coaster season in the Pac-12, this is why the ACC, does NOT deserve a CFP bid this year. I’d love to see the committee not punish a team for winning a tough…[Read more]

After a few hours of sleep and a fresh perspective, the way to beat Whit’s Utah teams has been Chuck it up, complete an inordinate amount of low percentage deep throws to the left sideline.
So a few positives from last night’s game. 
1. We were better on the ground
2. We dominated time of possession and number of plays run
3. The TE delayed…[Read more]

What Pac teams has BYU never beat while their opponent was in the AAWU/Pacific Coast/Pac8/10/12?
Off the top of my head I’d have to say Idaho, and Utah. Not sure if they ever played Idaho when they were in the Pac, and I believe they’ve beaten every other Pac team at least once. Montana?
Yes, duckduckgo is my friend.
They have never beaten USC,…[Read more]

Tonight is a great opportunity. Why? Because I just can’t get that nasty taste out of my mouth from last year’s bowl game. How could that have happened?
A. Two games prior we staged a comeback in the second half.
B. In the P12 Championship game we saw the difference one bounce could make.
C. The previous game Northwestern staged a huge comeback…[Read more]

Putting this in the Basketball category because Josh Grant was there, though it might also fit in a miscellaneous category. I approached him and told him his performance against UNLV in the early 90s was one of the main reasons I fell in love with Utah and eventually went there. He was very gracious, told me thanks and continued genuinely talking…[Read more]
