My totally uniformed, don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, wild-ass guess on the odds of Cam’s future:

10% transfers to another school
30% tries his luck in the NFL
60% returns to start us off right in the XII

Fixed the category for you…

This is the line of thinking I adopt right before we play Georgia 😉

I have a feeling that what happened last week was more because Oregon is a playoff-caliber team than it was us just sucking. I mean kudos to the Ducks, right? I’m hoping that our boys come out with a little more fire, as last week had to have been a major ego-hit. Let’s hope that the Ducks don’t beat us twice. If the Utah team that beat USC…[Read more]

Oregon called off the dogs on Saturday. They were doing whatever they wanted to us.

Proud, I think you’ve stumbled upon the secret of happiness… no expectations. Some of us tempered our expectations a few weeks ago, so even though the game on Saturday was very TCU-esque, it hasn’t affected me nearly the same. Maybe it’s that I understand what I saw out there a little more than I would have several years ago. This Oregon team…[Read more]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Caleb Williams came up with a “season-ending injury” (sprained pinky finger).

That it did, my friend!

I have this one chalked up as a loss, HOWEVER, I will say that it’s a lot more of a 50/50 game to me than it was a couple of week ago. Teams like USC hate teams like Utah because we don’t go away. What’s the saying? “you might beat Utah, but you’re going to walk away with a limp”. I think USC likes team to lay down.

On his podcast, Josh Pate…[Read more]

I was a little surprised to see our star safety come in and look so much better than any of our running backs (with the exception of a healthy JQJ). His vision coupled with his violent north to south running style was incredible. I guess I’ll just chalk this one up to Vaki being a freak of nature.

“How many teams can say they only have one loss?” hahahahahahaha

Was it me or does it seem like Vaki has the best vision of any of our running backs right now (including JQJ)?

They do, Miami. I use mine all the time.

“The Valen Halen guy”? You’re killing me, chinngiskhaan.

“The only people of concern are the people inside this building.”

My one very minor quibble: no concern for those of us that pour thousands of dollars into the program? Just sayin’.

I say we go 100% air raid offense for the rest of the year, incompletions and interceptions be damned. At least it’ll be entertaining!

You know how it goes: there are two sides to every story and the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. That’s how I approach fan boards like this. I consider myself a realist when it comes to the Utah football program (began my fandom in the 80’s, which left scars). For instance, I don’t see Cam making it back this year and because of…[Read more]

We have some stubborn coaches, Jim. If they think we could beat UCLA (which we did) and Oregon State with that game plan, then certainly they think we can beat Cal with it. By the way, I trust our coaches. They have won the last two conference championships and I think that allows them a little latitude. I’m just guessing they are confident in…[Read more]

“Unless we keep our game plan against UCLA and OSU.”

I think this is EXACTLY what we’ll do on Saturday. I’ll be the coaches are confident that we can bet Cal with the offense we have been running, and we just might depending on how our defense does.
