First, sorry it has been so long since my last post, I have been crazy busy and it's not football season. But I will try to post more often. Anyway, on to the topic.So this past week or so has been crazy on the internet regarding possible PAC-10 expansion. The PAC-10 commissioner said that they are beginning to look into the possibility of expansion and that if they were to do it, now would be

What is going on? Why did Utah's recruiting go from 64 to 70? Oh yeah! They had 7 decommits lately! MunizHuffAndersonLazardJacksonCullerWalkerAnd now I hear Reese is having cold feet too.I hope for Utah's sake you are able to hang on to Kruger or you'll drop to upper 70s. Although I think his mother has already decided for him so shouldn't be too much to worry about.

I understand that Utah's Basketball team sucks and that your recruiting is so embarrassing that you removed your recruiting widget (don't worry, I put it back!), but there are still things to blog about! For example, will Utah hold on to commit Kruger despite rumblings that he might be reconsidering BYU? Will Heimuli pick Utah over UCLA and BYU? What happened with coach Whittingham and Tennessee?

Before and AfterWow! So much for the mane. I hope all his power wasn't located in there. Quezada reported to BYU today but yesterday at a going away party he had his hair cut to conform to BYU standards. BTW he donated his hair to Locks for Love. Yeah we'll take a guy like this.Here's a link to the story and lots of Pics: HERE

The big news is that Harvey Unga is sticking around 1 more year. That should be a great help to whichever QB starts next year. Also he has a chance to be only the 7th NCAA RB to post 4 years of 1000 yards rushing. Good luck Harvey!BYU Basketball is 16-1 and ranked #17. They are dominating opponents by an average of 22 points. Last night they killed Air Force without much production from Fredette.

Here's a little video of the most amazing performance by a BYU basketball player ever. Way to go Jimmer! After beating AZ by 30 points, the Cougs are now 13-1 and looking very good. Here's to hoping for a great year.Below I have post-game comments about the game.

Oh, what a fun night! After a depressing and frustrating first quarter when it looked like Utah was San Diego State, the Utes turned it on and demolished the Cal Bears, 37-27, and it wasn't that close.The best part about the game, aside from just winning, was the confirmation that we have a QB for the next 3 years! Jordan Wynn is going to be something special!The Utes were able to throw it deep

BYU handled the almost Pac-10 Champions, Oregon State. Scoring 37 straight points and hold OS scoreless for 2 quarters, BYU's defense was incredible, keeping the famous Rogers brothers in check all night. Collectively the defensive seniors accounted for 28 tackles, four tackles for loss, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble, one interception and four pass breakups. The game was 44-7 until OS

Today LaHabra HS RB Joshua Quezada (1st team all city, 1st team all county, first team all league) surprised a lot of people, including myself and the voters on this blog, by committing to play for BYU over Utah. Quezada is not LDS, and very much likes his long hair which he came out and said would be difficult for him to cut. So we have a star non-lds athlete who was being asked to make a

Dennis Pitta was just named to the 2009 COnsensus All America Team. Add that to his being named to the Walter Camp All American Team and the AFCA All American Team honors and how on earth does he not get the Mackey award? Really really stupid.Also, remember 5'6 Brian Logan, BYU's diminutive CB? Guess who was named to SI's All American Team Honorable Mention? He recorded 14 pass breakups and 3

ESPN is reporting that the Pac-1o will also look at expansion, though it seems less serious than the Big-1o talk. Nevertheless, I would argue that if the Big-1o expands and gets a conference championship game, the Pac-1o will virtually be forced into doing the same.What I am 99% confident about is that if the Pac-1o decides to expand, their first two choices are 1. Colorado and 2. Utah. I think

Wisconsin's AD said that he thinks the Big-10 would seriously consider expansion this off-season. While it is highly unlikely it would occur anytime soon (in the next 1-2 years), it is an interesting topic and would have some major ramifications in College Football. There are two considerations to take into account the first is the direct ramifications of the new pick-up on the face of CFB.

So BYU is back to Las Vegas. No Surprise. First, BYU beat Utah. Second, I really think only BYU is capable of selling out the Las Vegas Bowl. But I'm really jazzed about this matchup. Oregon State was a few plays away from going to the Rose Bowl. This is a good team with a great offense. Like BYU, they have a QB who has a 70% passing completion percentage, an RB who ran for over 1000 yards (

The Utes will be facing off with my 2nd Favorite University, the California Golden Bears in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego.This should be a fun and motivating match-up for the Utes. For the Bears, it really depends on which team shows up. They have very much been "Jeckyl and Hyde" this season with some brilliant games and some terrible ones.Undoubtedly the Utes

Jake Heaps tonight led Skyline to a 3rd straight State Title. That means that as a starter he has never not won the state championship. In tonight's game he accounted for 5 TDs, 4 passing and one rushing. I can't wait for Heaps and company to show up in Provo in a few months! 2010 could be a rebuilding year for the Cougs, but look for BYU to be amazing by 2012. On another note, Utah's MR.

We should know by tomorrow where all of our MWC teams are playing their bowls games, so let's get some predictions out there of where and against whom our boys will be playing.This year the Utes have five bowls linked to the conference and five teams that have qualified for bowl games, however because TCU will going to a BCS game the MWC will not be filling it's Humanitarian Bowl commitment.

Today Dennis Pitta, BYU's star TE, has been named to the American Football Coaches Association All-America team. The last Cougar to do so was punter Matt Payne in 2004. Pitta is also a finalist for the Mackey Award, which he should have won last year but should get this year. BYU always has premiere TEs and we have some guys in the wings I can't wait to see including Holt, but Dennis may be the

I might as well be the one to cover this since someone has to. After the BYU Utah game, BYU's QB Max Hall said some very disparaging things about the Ute football team. He said he hated everything about them: players, coaches, fans, program, groundskeepers etc. And it didn't stop there. He doesn't just hate them (because it's OK to hate your rivals) he finds all of them completely classless.

First of all you will notice the background color in tribute to BYU's throwback Blue uniforms! Stylish!Things I never thought I would see in a BYU win:Max Hall completing 30% of his passes for less than 150 yards.4 kick return interference calls against Utah.BYU gaining less than 265 total yards.BYU's Defense being the unit that won the game. BYU only allowed Utah into the end zone once the whole

Well, what can I say, that was a heck of a Holy War, unfortunately my Utes came out on the wrong end of a 26-23 overtime game. I can't say I am angry or all that disappointed. In all reality, the way that game went the Utes never should have made it that close and BYU never should have let the Utes back into it.The Utes and Jordan Wynn started the game out beautifully on the first two drives,

Alright folks, today is the big day. At 1700 EST, the Utes begin the beatdown of BYU. There is no question that the Cougs have talent and experience. There is no question that they need this win more, especially considering this was supposed to be they year they were to break into the BCS and Utah was in rebuilding mode. So what do the Utes need to do to win?1. Use their speed advantage.
