Admonishes someone for name calling, immediately resorts to name calling.

And the irony of accusing Trump of lining his own pockets after what Biden and his family have done. (Chef’s kiss)

I’m not sure his ego would allow him to play in the CFL.

So Sanders will find himself in the CFL or Alford will make his way to the NFL?

Focusing on LDS athletes is part of what re-built Utah football from the dumpster fire it had become in the 70s and 80s. Turning our back on those recruits will send us right back to the bottom.

The padlock and key make me think they are locked in, as in they aren’t going anywhere.

Simple fixes:

1. Portal only opens once per year.

2. Reinstitute the rule requiring athletes to sit out a year every time they transfer, or at the very least for each transfer after their first transfer.

3. In order to be eligible at a new school, athletes must be on track to graduate within 5 years from their high school graduation date at…[Read more]

I’m hoping nobody picks him up and he becomes the cautionary tale for all of these greedy kids looking to “get theirs” rather than honor their commitments.

Your skepticism is warranted, but for me, the circumstances of this OC hire are different than the rest which gives me hope the results will follow.

It looks too similar to Houston’s logo, as well as other schools like Indiana and Oklahoma. The Drum and Feather has some similarities to the Washington Redskins logo but it is unique in the college game, looks way cleaner than the interlocking U’s, and with the Redskins name change it is now totally unique.

I know I’m just one fan, but I avoid…[Read more]

These look great. Can we please get away from the interlocking U’s logo altogether?

Big Rick was officially announced by USC and even had an introductory press conference, if I recall correctly. So if that is your standard, even an official announcement from the school won’t be good enough.

No. The amount of guys transferring out of the program every year was a HUGE problem. He was losing 25-50% of his rosters just to transfers, and that was before the transfer portal became a thing.

Did they accidentally copy/paste last year’s prediction?

If people would actually look into the stories the media tells about Trump and his allies, they would realize just how much the media lies to us.

I was already excited about the Beck hire, but listening to him speak both about personnel and his philosophy have me even more hopeful we got a good one.

At this point, I think he would take it. When he turned it down in 2020, I think he had his heart set on becoming an NFL head coach. Five years later and I think he can see that ain’t gonna happen, so college might be his only shot to be the head man.

This one I could see. Former player and assistant coach there, has a long and mostly successful coaching resume. He doesn’t have the same hype that Deion brought but he is probably the closest they could realistically bring in.

The other candidate I could see would be Jay Hill. Not a splashy hire, but he would be a good hire. And Hill would…[Read more]

Still though, there’s a chance Whit makes an announcement of his retirement. The timing would be weird but since we already had Scalley as the next head coach, I could see Whit staying on as the head coach to help Scalley finish out the recruiting, transfer portal, and coaching hires in an effort to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Not…[Read more]

Becker was only 75% on FGs last year with a long of 48 yards. From what I’ve seen, Curtis can easily match that percentage and will likely beat it. He also has a much stronger leg than Becker. At a minimum, I expect our kicking game to be at least as good as last year, if not better.
