Re: Davon Booth to Transfer

People are coming with NIL excuses for BA. This is a BA problem. We have not been a winning team since 2021. At this point, we are trying to time BA and his buyout on when to hire the next coach. When losing, recruits are more willing to leave. Everybody ragged on Matt Wells for having very similar...

Re: Legas…gone

Blake "coached Coop hard" and sitting in the stands right behind the team all last season, it was obvious that he got ripped into much more often than any other QBs. Granted, this is only observation from the stands and I never heard what Blake was screaming at Coop about, but I was more shocked th...

Re: Love's next season

Now that the draft is near, it reminds me that I was fairly critical of Love's potential as an NFL QB. I thought he had a horrible senior year at USU and his poor play cost the team. He also had some off-field issues. I didn't think he was mobile enough to be successful in the NFL. Turns out the Pa...
