Well, lots of interesting stuff.

First, it’s insane to see Utah football getting so much press, including national press, preseason. Amazing. When I was there we simply did not receive any national attention, and local coverage amounte dto a weekly roundup of how camp was going.

The Beadles story is really terrific, worthy read.

The Vegas Bowl?

What a shaft that has become. Unless it’s expanded and attracts a major opponent, bag it. Time for the other bowls to forsake automatic tie ins and start hunting for our excellent, and interesting, teams to be matchups for their quality opponents. They tried that modeled on their succes with creating the Holiday bowl for the WAC, but guess what? When they create dteh Holiday bowl some damned fine teams were being left home because there were fewer bowls, especially in venues teh size of San Diego.

It’s extremely cool that we have three Lombardi trophy watch list players. Tennessee, as an example, has none. BYU has two, TCU three, Alabama 4, but BYU’s opponent in the upcoming opener?

Seven. Seven men named to the watchlist for being considered one of the finest lineman/linebackers in college football. “Ouch daddy, it hurts when they snap the ball.”

See it here.

Oregon has none, Boise State 1, San Jose State two.
