    Probably. Just seems odd to have the option and say "nah, we're good."

    Now, some teams play a non conference game during one of their bye days, and the league according to Hill won't release that schedule until September, so maybe they are waiting for that. That would assume a savvy scheduling philosophy.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    I would love to schedule UNM or Gonzaga on a Saturday night the week of the CU game, provided we get CU on a Wednesday.

    League pairings announced: http://pac-12.com/article/2017/06/28...gn=Pac12Social

    Utes will not go to NorCal and the Oregon Schools will not come to SLC.

    Finish the season with three at home (USC, UCLA, CU)

    That's too bad. Stanford Cal might be two winnable road games, despite last year.

    Wanna be the best, then we should play the best. Let's just see how LK is pulling it all together, or not.

    Open at Oregon schools then home against AZ schools could be a tough start.

    I would be thrilled to be 2-2 after that stretch.

    I listened to Riley's interview of Larry from yesterday. LK sounds very high on the kids he has now.

    You have to love Larry K talking about Tom Petty & Pearl Jam. Holding a fundraiser where they watch the Pearl Jam movie & donate the money to Huntsman Cancer.

    He is a no BS person. Great guy to talk with if you ever get the chance.

    Twice now in interviews Larry has brought up Kobe Caldwell, a guard with unimpressive JC stats who quietly signed in August after our long recruitment of Matt Mitchell ended with him going to San Diego State. I had assumed that Caldwell was just a scholarship filler who would be gone soon. That may still be the case but I'm a little intrigued to see where this goes. With Utah having a nice recruiting class coming in and still recruiting some players on this year's team are going to be playing for their job next year (probably a couple are playing for their scholarship).

    Maybe he's found a diamond in the rough....

    Was that the interview where he said someone offered him $100k for Kuzma? That's a wild story.

    If I got the story right they wanted the U to give them $100,000 to get Kuzma when we were recruiting him. ($50,000 for the official visit and $50,000 to get him to sign)

    It was Kuz prep school that wanted it. The U told Kyle and the NCAA.

    Kyle and his guardian ended up coming on an unofficial visit and committed. (The prep school was refusing to send a transcript, which was required for an official visit).

    The prep school is still operating.
