AlohaUte replied to the topic We’re sleeping in the bed that we made. Unrestricted NIL EVERY DAY in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Essentially you need to give the players the power to collectively bargain, i.e. a players union.
Right now e are in the wild west. It’s only going to be this way for a short time. Sometime soon players will be paid employees and will need to sign contracts.

AlohaUte replied to the topic On BYU and NIL. Updates with the AJ Dybantsa news and some specific information in the forum They So Poo Poo 1 month, 2 weeks ago
This is an unhinged comment. You think this is the most egregious and first major pay-to-play recruit? What world have you been living in for then last 3-4 years?

As long as it’s not Church money being used at BYU – and it’s not – then more power to them. Rumor has it that there are multiple billionaires supporting BYU basketball. There’s nothing hypocritical about it whether from the Church or from BYU.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Who is going to run the ball for us next year? in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Someone who is not in the program yet. I’m sure we’ll add at least two RBs from the portal.

AlohaUte replied to the topic A healthy Cam Rising would be a perfect fit for Beck's offense in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Key word there is “healthy”. I’m not sure his horrific knee injury can be recovered from enough to be a peak FBS college football QB.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Isaac Wilson to BYU? in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Also, I saw enough raw talent, particularly arm strength, from Isaac to see his potential in CFB. He can be a great QB but is soooo raw. I could see him getting picked up from multiple P5 schools.
I do think that if Utah wanted him back (and who knows if he entered the portal on his own volition or if Beck asked him to leave), his best place…[Read more]

Meh, don’t really care what he does. Pretty decent chance he’ll be a cancer whereever he lands. Reminds me a lot of Tuttle.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Our QB and RB rooms are empty in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
What a weird opinion to have about Whit. He’s been successful for 20 years and you just think he’s all the sudden a complete failure and incapable of reviving the program? Strange.

AlohaUte replied to the topic Our QB and RB rooms are empty in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
It’s fine with me, clearly we didn’t have much talent and I suspect the new OC is cleaning house.
Fortunately, this is the perfect year for this to happen considering this age of free agency that we are in. Beck will be able to bring in players that fit his system.
We’ll be just fine.

AlohaUte replied to the topic What's your playoff prediction? in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Yeah, honestly, I expect that too. We’ll see if the committee has any integrity or if they are corrupt.

AlohaUte replied to the topic What's your playoff prediction? in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I thought about that, but I don’t think the committee will put the team that won today ahead of the team that lost.

We’ll have a different QB and different offense

AlohaUte replied to the topic Recruiting Rankings in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Yep in this day and age, teams can bounce back almost immediately with the transfer portal. If coaches can get the team to gel, success can be almost immediate.
But the schemes have to be simple. Personalities have to mesh, and NIL be solid.

Me too about Woods. I was really excited to get him from Idaho.

AlohaUte started the topic I know two things for sure in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
1. Utah will play football next fall.
2. I’ll be on my couch cheering with every success and dying with every sucky thing.
Beyond that, it’s out of my control and I’m going to try to just enjoy being a Ute fan and not get too wrapped up in all this (I’ve already been too wrapped up and am trying to let that all go).
Go Utes!

AlohaUte replied to the topic Two things I don't understand about the Ute Fan base (at least online) in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I guess? I haven’t seen that. But I argue that we have some awful fans who are worse than anything Boise has. I don’t see them on here much thankfully.
But maybe I’m still traumatized by UF.N and the terrible fan I sat next to at the Rose Bowl.

Regarding your #1, just something to think about. We did all the work, they got the attention, we reaped all the benefits.
I’d much rather be in Utah’s place than Boise’s (especially when we were in the Pac12). Boise got all that attention but they got screwed and left behind while us and TCU (and now BYU, Cinci, Houston, and UCF) all moved…[Read more]

Did I call you a name?
I think it’s stupid to hate a team because of their fan base when ours is awful too. Doesn’t mean I think you are stupid. I have a lot of really stupid opinions.
