BYU over UCF

Sep 26, 2011

From the beginning of the game, it looked like BYU might be in trouble again.  UCF is not a bad team, but again, they are not the greatest either.  As I watched this game, I saw a defense working very hard to keep a team in the game.  Special teams played a big part as well.  Watching the first kick...

BYU Football Fires Jaime Hill Defensive Coordinator

Oct 04, 2010

In an very interesting move by BYU, Jaime Hill will no longer be calling the defensive plays for BYU football, after being embarrased by Utah State on ESPN for the whole nation to see.  All week all I heard was how BYU and Utah State was not a rivalry. (this of course coming from BYU fans.) I must a...

Team Riley or Team Jacob? The BYU QB Love Triangle Is Finally Over!

Sep 26, 2010

And yes I did just reference Twilight in a football article! Is that bad? The truth in the matter is I hate the series just as much as I can't stand BYU football.  However, I was begining to wonder why the co-QB system had lasted so long.  Whether Riley getting surgery was a blessing in disguise or ...

BYU vs. Florida State

Sep 19, 2010

I did not have a chance to watch this game, and I am not sure of how things played out, but looking at the box score and knowing what I know regarding the team, I think it is time to pick and stick with a QB.  What I mean is, let Heaps sit for a year and learn college football.  He does not have the...

Utah Utes and National Championship talk. Can they bust the BCS yet again?

Sep 13, 2010

  Not to be too optimistic, but with a series of fortunate events.i.e. Virginia Tech losing to James Madison, and the Utes jumping 6 spots in the National Rankings this week.  Utah could very easily find itself in the talks of yet another BCS busting year.  Not to get too far ahead of our selves but...

Aug 21, 2010

  On the 12th day of football my true love gave to me.a top 25 ranking.Once again the Utes have been voted in the top 25 to begin the season.  The Utes have also been picked to take 2nd in the conference just behind TCU, and ahead of the team down south.  It still seems almost too good to be true th...

I am taking a stab at this.  I am only beginning to do my research on this, but wanted to post some thoughts for anyone willing to chime in. When looking at the two QB's, I am trying to decide which one will be the better quarterback this year.  I am not looking down the road, past this season, just...

BYU Future and the Rivalry

Jul 10, 2010

So now that Utah is an official PAC 10 (12) team, what does the future hold for BYU and for the rivalry of the two schools?  Mind you what I present here is my opinion and I am a guy having fun with a blog.  So, let it be known, the yearly game will end.  I do not see it continuing more than another...

Jun 16, 2010

Yeah, I feel like you do right now, is it really official?  There are official reposts that Utah has the invite and has taken it and has let the MWC know of intention s to leave.  The MWC says they have received no calls.  Utah is quiet.  One report even says that USC is on board.  So I am confused,...

USC trying to stop Utah from moving to PAC-10

Jun 14, 2010

The change in conferences is moving fast.  Everyone is waiting for the next big team to make a decision.  Well, today a decision was made.  Texas is staying.   You know the money and TV rights must have been very good.  So, what does that mean, well, it means that the PAC-10 has an opening.  My sour...

Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Jun 14, 2010

So everyone from the top of the state of Utah to the bottom will need to wait a bit longer.  The invitation to the Pac 10 is not here yet.  The invite will also have to see who jumps ship from the Big 12.  If the remaining teams invited go, then it may not play well for Utah.  If even one of them do...

Boise State to the MWC

Jun 12, 2010

So it happened, even after all of the hoopla telling Boise they were not wanted, they really were.  Why?  I guess to let everyone have a positioning chip just in case.  Either way, they are here and the MWC is stronger and should have an opportunity for a BCS auto bid very soon.  Boise and TCU will ...

Utes in the PAC-10

May 12, 2010

  Again the rumors have resurfaced! With the big conspiracy with the Big Ten trying to expand to a 14 16 team conference (all being denied right now) it begs the question...What about the Pac-10.  Oddly enough I was offered a wager that the Pac 10 would announce the welcoming of the University of U...

Utah's Johnson vs. BYU's Hall

May 12, 2010

Today is Max Hall, Brian Johnson comparison Day.  Why, well I was wondering this morning who the better QB was.  Looking at the basic stats I found and what I decided to research, I found that obviously Johnson was a better running QB, Hall was a better passing QB.  Hall has more yards, passing atte...

Max Hall

May 05, 2010

So many of the Utah fans saw Max go undrafted.  They also saw him get picked up by the Arizona Cardinals.  So far, he is on the roster, but there are already three QB's signed.  I think he may be on the practice squad after pre-season.  Either way, I do not see him making the team.  Maybe for the be...

The Nation's Greatest and Worst Rivalry

Jan 25, 2010

The Utah-BYU rivalry is quite possibly the most bitter and vitriolic rivalry in all of College Football.
