I asked the fans for questions for frontporchu mailbag monday
Question 1 from @RichAus60241455
would love to hear about future enhancements planned for RES (ie NEZ video board, LED lighting, concourse improvement etc). And if UofU is planning to receive any Olympic funds like in 2002 to go toward RES enhancements? Thanks!
I haven’t heard on anything like these but I agree we could use a light show when the player come outta the tunnel shut the lights off and than when they run out we have the lights go red for the Olympics funding well yes I assume upgrades are coming and also a winter classic game at rice eccles with that soon need more food and vendors and more space in the concourse.
Question 2 from @glasshalfute
what goes through the mind of Lander Barton’s enemies when they see his neck for the first time?
I would say shit I wouldn’t wanna get hit bye that bad man since lander barton is the most important dude on utahs defense and built like a brick shit yard.
Question 3 from @Ryfish65
Who are your picks to win each division in the NFL this year
AFC West Denver Broncos
AFC East Bills
AFC North Ravens
AFC South Texans
NFC WEST Rams
NFC North GreenBay
NFC South Falcons
Question 4 @Calebplscook
Who do you think will be the biggest surprise in the big 12 this year like how asu was last year!
This one is gonna creep up on people but I belive Houston cougars are gonna be that surprise team that no one wants to play and face late in the year
Question 5 from @notstanley4330
How well do you think Keanu Tanuvasa will do for BYU this year? We haven’t had a really elite DT for a few years
I think as long as Keanu Tanavasa stays healthy, he can have around a 6-7 sack year and help win games for BYU
Question 6 from @LanieLambert202
How many goals do you think kells will get this season?
I believe Clayton Keller will have around 35-30 goals and more assists and points
Question 7 from @a_skibum
The Mammoth have 27 NHL-caliber players on the roster, but can only carry 23 into the season. Who isn’t making the NHL roster to start the season?
Easily the hardest question of the batch I think 7 players who are bubble watch players 1 spicy tuna 2 micheal carcone 3 danil boot 4 Lawson crouse 5 kailer yammoto 6 nick desimone 7 Ian cole and honorable mention jusso valamaki
Question 8 from @utahstatsanalsis
Who is going to run the BIG XII and why is it Utah?
I think Utah has the chance to win the Big 12 at the end of the day I have Utah finishing 10-2 and sneaking into the playoff and the Baylor Bears winning the Big 12
Question 9 from @kobythielaa4128fc9e
Why should there be confidence in Dampier to be a good power conference QB?
I think this all comes down to Utah’s o-line and Utah having o-linemen projected for 1 first rounders and a lot more talent around him at Utah than New Mexico and I think Dampier is a great athlete and will adjust fine and have fun and throw for 2000 and 700 rushing yards
Question 10 from @chef_602
Sam Leavitt? Or Sawyer Robinson?
This one is my favorite comment of the mailbag and its hot
I personally have Sam Leavitt rn as the best qb in the big 12 but in my season prediction for the big 12 I have baylor winning the big 12 and if that happend Sawyer robinson will jump him and become the best talent wise there both excellent in the pocket and can move and extend plays and make big plays on their feet and through the air.
Question 11 from @Sundevlmanforks
Can the BIG12 get two playoff teams?
There is absolutely a chance Big 12 gets 2 teams Baylor ASU Utah Tech any 2 of those teams can make it and if we have like a 12-0 team and either 2 10-2 teams you’d have to like the chances of that if I had to predict the 2 that get in id go with either Baylor Asu or Baylor Utah
Question 12 from @cheesefries73
Who’s going to win Holy War this year & why
I think Utah wins in a game around 35-17 with their dominant run game and that defense giving up less than 20 points and BYU still keeping it close till the end and Utah finishes them with Devon Dampier and also Bear Bachmier makes some early mistakes and goes down early 14-0 and than byu defense keeps them in with. 4th down stop or a fumble.
Question 13 from @buckpanic
What will your new franchise name be once Mammoth Hockey LLC wins the lawsuit vs Smith?
Honestly, Buck Ryan Smith ain’t letting them win the lawsuit but if they did I’d see us going back to the Utah hockey club and anyway, I don’t see us losing this case
Question 14 from @iflyhiFL410
Who on the Utes roster will be drafted?
I have to believe some around 10-ish players have really good odds of making the NFL but we never know who’s gonna break out and become an absolute monster for Utah so I’m gonna say 12-15 and yeah lots of talent and a bunch of good guys wanting to prove themselves
