I can't help but wonder how much trouble CU is in. Was safely in the field before today. Could potentially get the 5 seed in Vegas and a matchup against the best last-place team in the country,...

We absolutely need Gach to be better. That changes a lot. He's shooting 10 percent worse overall (19 percent worse from 2!) from the field and 11 percent worse from the line from last year....
Harlan also clearly doesn't subscribe to the A-B-C line of thinking in football scheduling.
2020: B-B-C (BYU, Wyoming, Montana State)
2021: B-B-C (BYU, San Diego State, Weber State)
2022: A-B-C...
You don't need to go back but a year in this thread to find us lamenting the sorry state of Utah non-conference scheduling.
Since then, we've landed H-H with three SEC schools -- Florida, LSU and...
I thought I turned a corner with Larry when he took us to two NCAA Tournaments. Even the NIT Finals year was enjoyable. But it says a lot when you have little to no faith in a coach, in spite of him...
Might be a question for SeattleUte.
Harlan could get a check for Larry's buyout tomorrow and he probably wouldn't take it. But it would probably be enough for him to start a behind-the-scenes search for a change after 2020-21, and...
Yep. Our two lowest-scoring games last year came against Washington (98 total points). A team like Utah is the perfect pick-me-up for a team like UW, whose individual parts are probably greater than...
The 1993-94 team lost seven games by 3 points or less, and didn't lose by 20-plus to anyone until the aforementioned BYU game -- its largest MOD was 16 points, at Hawaii (which won the WAC Tournament...
We're not finishing .500 in league play. Wazzu blowing our doors off next week ain't out of the question.
Agreed on your sentiments on defense. It's a near 180 from Larry's first 4 years.
I want the members of the crowd that insisted we wouldn't miss Jayce Johnson to stand up and be counted. Right now.
We knew this team had some deficiencies coming into the year. But are they really that bad that we can't find a way to hide them and at least be remotely competitive? And our defense ... ugh.
How...
He doesn't have a quick elevator. Not light in the feet. That most likely will never change.
Tap the brakes on the MPG stat. Of those 10 players, two have played in only 9 of 11 games and a third has played in but one (but it was their most recent game, suggesting he might be coming off...
At this rate, it's hard to imagine a scenario in which we're debating Larry's future after this year (OK, we can all find monsters under that bed, but we've really got nothing to base them on but the...
I think there's a reward in going away from the Kyle tree and learning that we shouldn't. There's zero risk involved there. If we went 5-7 three years running, it would be frustrating, but it...
Or he bolts after two years because he won two league titles and went undefeated (and won a natty) in Year 2. We'd all sign up for that again, in a heartbeat.
<Raises hand>
There are worse situations to be in than to have Morgan Scalley waiting in the wings. That I don't like CIW agreements and giving alumni their first big break doesn't mean I'm...
Neither has Childs. Will he be eligible for our game, or for the game after? I didn't watch the UCLA game, and they were really spotty against Kansas. They're 62nd in Pomeroy and have a top 50...
It's tough to disagree with this. Prior to this year, they were very similar statistically for their careers and both had to battle through many injuries. Of course, Brian had 2008 and a sophomore...
Your statline has reversed steals and turnovers for Utah.
He's gotta overdeliver then this year. There are a lot of reasons that could be legitimate behind a poor record. Larry doesn't get a pass for any of them unless he's willing to restructure his...
The problem with your assessment in your opening paragraph is that this team sounds a lot like what we had to do to win under Larry in Year 2.
Probably Kyle's lowest moment as a coach. Chris Petersen was content with OT and Kyle wasn't. Chris told Kyle and his timeout to kiss his ass, and went ahead and got the win.
We'll get a definitive answer next week.
