Jimmy thinks the lack of a decent RB is going to kill the Utes again this year. Jimmy thinks the Utes should have offered more money than USC for the services of Kearns' Stanley Havili.

Jimmy's Jock thinks Jimmy should know better about Havili. Jimmy's Jock knows Stanley went to Cottonwood, not Kearns.

Jimmy needs to lock Jimmy is a dark room with no computer access. Jimmy thinks Jimmy is ridiculously annoying. Jimmy also thinks jimmy has no sports knowledge at all.

Poston had a pretty good season my last year as a student at the U in '95. But I am ready for some fresh blood at RB. I'm looking forward to Asiata being healthy and seeing what he, Stowers, and possibly Mack can do. If Poston is the starting tailback, that will be a big blow to the season.

So how did Poston get 12-13 yrs of eligibility-- or did you mean 05 instead of 95?

Between grades and injuries, Asiata did not get to fully show what he could do at Hunter. The foot injury is scarey. The linemen are bigger and hit harder than JC. He could end up spending some pine time this year. Hope school habits improve or the anticipated bowl game that could be played after grades could also be in jeopardy.

Jimmy thinks Jimmy's jock should be original enough to come up with its own shtick. Jimmy also needs to point out that Jimmy was referring to Havili's home town not his high school. Jimmy feels the need to point out that Jimmy's Jock isn't as smart as it thinks it is.

Jimmy thinks Jimmy's dress shoes is completely ignorant if he doesn't think Havili got paid to go to USC, like Reggie Bush and Dwayne Jarrett. Jimmy forgives Jimmy's dress shoes though because Jimmy is sure that Jimmy's sneakers is one of those guys who thinks the MWC is as good as the Pac 10 and should be included in the BCS.

ALTERNATE.... You must not keep up on high school football... Or maybe you missed the year Asiata played @ Hunter and took State AND breaking the record of Hunter's rushing yards. And Stanley Havili got lucky... He's over-rated and probly did get paid to go there but I don't hear anything on him...

Maybe we did miss Asiata playing @ Hunter and him breaking records. Either way Mr. "someone" Stanley Havili went to the #1 School in the nation because Carrol saw raw talent and hey look where he is at today Starting Fullback for SC. Where is Asiata? Lets see he went to a JC because of him not having the GRADES (*did
quite well there), and now at a school, UofU, who doesn't know what to do with Talent if it smacked them in the face. Sorry buddy but both backs are talented the reality is if the only school you can go to is the UofU after having a stellar JC career something is seriously wrong.
