Is Barton that can be seen in this video is the father of the current Barton on our team, that is giving AJ such heartburn at LB?Originally Posted by LA Ute

Yes, that's him. To be clear, I am grateful for Barton and his gene pool. His son should be in the two-deep, it's the starter label that has me worried.
Why?
He's got the size, based in his genes (his mom was an insane athlete for the U) he's got the athletic ability, and he's got the attitude to play LB.
From what I've seen he was certainly a late bloomer especially size wise, he seems to have really matured the last year.

Look, I'm hoping that our linebackers are great, all Pac12 performers (hattip: Utah). But I worry that they didn't get any playing time at all last year. Granted, there were three seniors in front of them, but in the USC game in which Whittingham and Norris were hurt we played Masina (retired). That alone doesn't give me confidence that Barton is the answer at LB.
Now, maybe he is a late bloomer. God knows we've seen that before. I'm just worried a key defensive position group is being manned by a lightly recruited JC transfer and a lightly recruited sophomore, both of whom have zero game experience at this level. I think there is reason to doubt.
Thanks for posting that. This is the era of Ute football that started to reel me in as a kid. Did Utah not have a kicker who could make a PAT from the 18? Going for two in the first half is so bizarre, yet such a Mac thing to do as far as the kicking game went at that time.
There is always reason to doubt until you've seen someone play. We have reason to worry about QB, WR, and LB. And P, I guess.
LOL. And the play was from the 15 because of the penalty. total MAFU move.
So, because I said our LB'ers would be average, i.e., middle of the road that suddenly means they will be all PAC-12?
Ummmmmm....ok?

I wasn't at sdsu but did watch the game in wendover. First and only time I've bet on the Utes. Nice to get a win and win some cash.
My bil made the first catch shown in the AFA highlights. (I was also there)

Knowing swinney, I wouldn't be surprised if its a promo for his site on scout.com.

This is such pathetic small-time manipulative nonsense from Swinney, a no-talent guy.

Did someone hack LA's account?
Here's the rant I put on FB about it.
And then he starts whining about people's reactions.The below post from Brian Swinney is the exact kind of problem I've complained about since he officially joined ESPN700. When you represent the University's flagship station AND represent a paid service built on being privy to "inside information" regarding said University, it's a clear conflict of interest.
Now he can post some garbage vague big announcement to a whole fanbase that is frothing in anticipation of the first kickoff of the season in less than 24 hours and no one knows if the announcement is regarding the University, the radio station he works for or the private website he trying to subscribe people to.
Given that he apparently forgot to make mention of a big announcement in the short three hours he was on the airwaves this afternoon, it seems pretty clear to me what to expect to be revealed.

Utezone is combining with swinneys group.
