Smokin Joe

I remember thinking, at the time the Cougars landed him, that he was a tremendous signing. He was +200 lbs in High school and still running a 4.4 40 I think. His highlight tape was quite impressive. Hope he lands on his feet somewhere that works for him.

Smokin Joe

I think he is listed at 218. Not sure.

Smokin Joe

Not so sure. I hear good things bout Thompson.

Smokin Joe

I dunno. Presumably he has adequate speed. He had an exceptional high school 400 time (mid 47s as I recall). Saw a track photo of him in high school and he was a really cut, muscular kid. Does not look like that so much now. Looks a little chunky. He's not real big---but there have been lots of grea...

Smokin Joe

Quezada was impressive coming out of high school. I thought he might be a great one at the Y. No idea what happened. Apparently he lost his brother in a traffic accident last year. He was not projected as the starter. Interesting.

Smokin Joe

Was it his older brother who had to quit football at the U last year (or the year before) due to repeat concussions?

Smokin Joe

An incredibly igorant article. Guy says Turbin lacks a high top end, can't turn the corner and can't out-run people. There are some fast DBs' from Hawaii, Idaho, Utah, BYU and A&M who would beg to differ. Guy says Turbin can't catch the ball. Actually, that is one of his strong suits. He was an exce...

Smokin Joe

I'll say this: Olson sure looks good in the weight room videos. Kids has phenomenal upper body strength.

Smokin Joe

Looks like there is a comment from a strength coach at another school that it is an "impressive raw bench press" (or words to that effect). I think even more so when you consider that Whimpey is what, 6'6"? That is alot of weight for a long armed guy. Looks like his brother is close to 5 bills too. ...

The Auburn game last year is proof that USU's team is improving, but by no means does it prove they've reached greatness yet. I am observing from a distance. Watched most of the games on the 'puter last year. Saw the Tater Bowl live. But I agree: we are getting bigger, stronger and better in the tr...

Smokin Joe

To me, the issue is how will we stack up with Wisconsin in the trenches.

Smokin Joe

If I may wax philosophic (and perhaps hyperbolic too!) When Keeton went down, it seemed the whole season---and perhaps Gary's job hung in the balance (not that it should have been that way). That comeback was the point at which the team learned what it took to win. So much of winning is psychologica...

Accoridng to Tony Jones Delroy had a pre-existing medical condition that prevents him from passing a physical exam. It appears the condition forecloses any further footbal for Delroy anywhere. Very unfortunate for the young man. Wish him the best.

Smokin Joe

How is that? There is a photo on the web of him in a tank top and he is a specimen.

Smokin Joe

Good to see us getting some muscle in the program. The Wimpey twins look impressive. Is that Boja--second from right on bottom. Good physique there too.

Smokin Joe

Now we know why John L. stiffed Weber. He's broke and needed money.

Smokin Joe

Apparently the guy never even made it on campus. Maybe he just decided he did not want to play college ball. Who knows. Apparently he was not highly recruited (correct) but nevertheless showed ability and as we know, Gary has a knack for finding diamonds in the rough.

How solid will be at linebacker this year? I think Tavaris McMillian could have a break-out year. He was very impressive against Ohio and had a number of good plays throughout the year. What about Doughty? His strong suit seems to be speed and toughness. He's not huge, but I notice he has very good ...

Smokin Joe

Nice to be able to get a big framed lineman right out of high school. Hopefully the youngster has the talent and mental toughness to go with that big body.

DeMartino. It was in the Herald Urinal.

Smokin Joe

Abou Toure (sp?): 6'2" 232 lbs, 4.5,, 40" vertical running back.

Smokin Joe

I'd love to see Borel work into the starting rotation. That would be great. He is another guy who just plain deserves it.

Smokin Joe

Y'all remember his dad, Jimmy Moore? Hopefully the apple does not fall far from the tree. Jimmy Moore had an incredible vertical, as I recall.

Smokin Joe

It will be interesting to watch that one play out when we play SUU. Whose gonna win that battle??

Smokin Joe

Well, one of the Whimpeys is bench pressing 500 lbs. That's exceptional. Hopefully its indicative of his over-all capability as well. I recall GA saying a few years ago that we needed to get "longer" on the line of scrimmage and it looks like we're doing that, but there are a lot of new faces, so to...

Smokin Joe

Well, I guess you are right. But Phil Steele says the kid from SUU is the best QB in the state, but he is not FBS. I don't think saying that Keeton or Kennedy are the best in the state answers the question. The issue is how effective will they be? Honestly, Riley Nelson looked pretty good last year....

Smokin Joe

I saw them against BYU last year and Utah's defensive line was dominant. They were huge. How will we match up with them on both sides of the scrimmage line?

Smokin Joe

I am sorry, but I must disagree. Chuckie has yet to demonstrate that he can be an effective passer. Kennedy is no runner and has a good arm, but we did not have a passing game last year. Was it quarterbacking, coaching or scheme? We need to be able to be a credible threat in the passing game this ye...

Smokin Joe

he doesn't count he's going on an LDS Mission. Besides, we didn't recruit him as a QB... did we? I thought we recruited him as an athelete! ALSO remember how Rudy "magically" grew two inches on his mission? Well... We recruited him as a QB. The fact the Aggies want him to play quarterback was a maj...

Smokin Joe

Excellent MJord07. If I recall, in the era when the program was cut, the wrestling team was far and away the winningest men's program at the University. The program had high graduation and academic achievement rates (doctors, dentists, veterinarians, teachers, lawyers). By every standard, it was the...

Smokin Joe

I say we dump a few women's sports and re-fund college wrestling. Remember the glory days of Russ Paulsen, Bob Erickson, Mark Harris and others? There are lots of blue chip wrestlers coming out of Utah now and other than that school in Orem, they have no place to go to wrestle in college. How did we...

Smokin Joe

Who was the kid we had back in the 80s who lined up over guard against BYU or Utah (can't recall which) on one play. His brother was QB for UCLA. He was about 5'10". Ah, the good ole days.

Smokin Joe

I wouldn't kick either one out of bed for eating crackers.
