With the Big-12 getting a new deal, what are we hearing on the PAC-12 side?

I’ll hang up and take your answer off the air.

-According to Whittingham, Rising was ready to go but had a setback early Thursday. He still expected him to go and then Cam acknowledged it wasn’t going to work. Cam had all the first-string reps that week, so it was a shock and Barnes did well with not preparing as the starter.

-Cam is progressing better than he was last week, so barring another setback, sounds like he’s good to go. If not, it sounds like Ja’Quinden would back up Barnes with a limited playbook. They believe Nate Johnson has a really bright future, but the practice reps haven’t been enough for him.

-No season-ending injuries.

-If Kincaid can’t go, it’ll be: Yassmin, McClain and Pututau. Kendall isn’t remotely the same type of TE and no mention of Landon Morris. I’m not sure if that was by accident. If Kincaid is out, it’ll be much more focused on the receivers.

-Whittingham won’t discuss Tavion. Bernard was cleared to play, but it was still early with his injury and he was ineffective. They’re happy with Glover and Whittingham just thinks he needs to learn all the finer nuances, not necessarily behind on assignments anymore. Ja’Quinden was great last week with the exception of the fumble. He really brings an added element.

-They appealed Hubert’s targeting hit, but lost, so he’ll be out the first half against Arizona. Sione Vaki has come on strong and will get more and more playing time, most likely.

-Arizona’s receivers are dangerous and they balance the offense just enough with the run. The Wildcats are similar to to passing attacks that Utah saw the last two weeks, but with less RPO.

-Whittingham was asked about the FS1 gripe and he said he was just as surprised. He mentioned they could have ran around to find them but that would have been impossible since the crew wasn’t even on site for the game. (Basically you could tell that’s why Whittingham doesn’t care about the situation)

Here’s Dustin’s in-depth look at the Wildcats… I definitely don’t think this is a game Utah can overlook…

I’ve got 4 tickets for tomorrows game that my kids won’t be using due to a school dance and birthday party. N19 Row 51. If interested, I’m selling them for whatever. I’m going to post on KSL if no one here is interested. Paid $80 per ticket (or something like that).

National Geographic lists its 25 Best Places in the world. Some are cities, some are rivers. Some.... One.... Is an entire state:

I'm going to out of town unexpectedly and will miss the STANFORD game.

I pay $471.67 per game for the 2 seats including CC donation. I'll sell them on this board for $300 (both seats). Section W11, Row 5, Seats 1&2.

Call Mark at 801-631-9901 if interested. I can transfer them to you electronically. You can pay through Venmo or PayPal

Per Twitter. Yikes!!! This isn’t good. I thought he would be a tremendous player.

You can definitely see the Chris Burgess effect with the bigs. Their footwork was very good, great offensive moves.
Defensively the Utes get after it.

Gus Malzahn and Brian Harsin the last two HC and will still have enough money to offer the next Coach 5 or 6 million a year.

This post is 99% TIC because I don’t think BYU fires him even if they finish 5-7 and miss a bowl game which at this point is a real possibility. I just like celebrating their misery.

They are very talent poor in Provo and it looks like the once Prodigal Son Sitake has no idea how to fix the problem

Where this is important is for potential NY6 games, so this ranking is still a big deal.

He seems pretty upset that Whit didn't let FS1 know they were starting Barnes. As for myself FOX can go pound sand. I am still bitter about that truck racing fiasco all those years ago. And the whole broadcast last night looked more like wednesday night MACtion than the Big noon kickoff.

Here’s what Zipperer’s commit means, with additional quotes:

Utah keeps the Florida recruiting pipeline going!

I’ll post some articles and info when I can over the next couple days, but I lost a cousin unexpectedly today, so I’m helping my grandparents.

My cousin was a good person with a big heart. He struggled for years, got clean, and then dedicated himself to community service and helping others with the same issues he went through. He got sick recently and we couldn’t save him this morning.

I’ve constantly told him how proud of him I’ve been, and this hurts today. We all have people like that in our lives, make sure they know they’re loved and you’re proud of them. He ended up making a difference. ❤️

I’ve futurecasted Utah. The Utes have done a terrific job recruiting him in less than two months. Stay tuned, but I expect it to be Utah.

Or does the D seem to perform well with Pepa in most The time?
