      Until proven otherwise, Wilson is Jake Heaps II.

      A parent takes an ordinary boy and pours tons of money into him by way of personal coaching and camps and the ordinary kid is now a teen aged superstar. Sends him off to camps to get exposure for the 4 star rating. This not only applied to Jake Heaps, this applies to practically every 4 star QB we have recruited. They peak at 18 years old and that’s as good as they get.

      And we wonder why we did not see improvement in Wilson?

      Wilson is just another boy who has had top level coaching making him an 18 year old stand out.

      He has more upside, but I think it’s very little and it’s based on growing a little bigger and stronger. Other than that, I think we’ve seen the peak of Wilson’s abilities.

      Here is my gut feel. You’re middle aged and it’s not the same. Probably because that’s my situation. We are witnessing another change, think of it as the music industry and what giant mess of nothingness that has become. As people turn away from it you have another group of people who can’t get enough Taylor Swift.

      I’m getting there with you and for the first time I’m actually thinking twice about the 2500 season ticket cost for our pair of seats. Someone, probably a Swifty type football fan will gladly buy my season seats just as all the others around me who have moved on replaced by people who I will probably never connect with.

      I agree with everything he said BUT – Arizona is not a Big 12 team. Until we get bent over by a Big 12 team, the arrogance remains.

      Oh come on, this is the price paid for wins. Changing diapers, going to work, cleaning the gutters is a hell of a lot more fun when we win. I’m sure I was not the only one who was happy about moving up after the Ole Miss loss and had my eye on Pedo St. Up until it went final.

      This is why losses hurt. Deal with it and quit trying to minimize it.

      Suppose we host a playoff game this December against say, Miami or some other sunbelt type team, when we lay waste to them and every one of us is damn near rioting in the streets, you can go tone it down and change your diapers and go to work.

      Is Barnes the starter? I flipped on last week’s game and some other dude was QB. The box score looks like they both played about half a game. Anyone know what’s going on?

      First, just don’t.

      Second, You will be late for the game anyway because of the metal detectors. Apparently there are two metal detectors for every 20k people. So you’re looking at late First quarter before you get to your seat.

      Third, you will pay 3x what you would anywhere else.

      Fourth, you’ll already be aggravated as hell with the metal detector fiasco, now add getting food hell aggravation, you’ll wish you stayed home.

      If you can get the rest of your party to comply, come early and eat before arrive. You will have a much better experience.

      It’s actually part of his current package. He is guaranteed an advisor position for 5 years, 1 mm per year.

      So just him saying it?

      Well, right or wrong, I wouldn’t be one to echo it.

      Didn’t know who or what this person is, first thing that came up on a search.

      This is as far as I’m going down this rabbit hole.

      Oh, thanks for they reply by the way.

      Would like to think that USC and Oregon lobbied for us, but I’m not convinced it’s true. I think it’s internet rumor echo chambered by gullible Ute fans. If I’m completely wrong and way off base, please show me and I’d happily eat crow.
