Thanks for the vote of confidence. I hadn’t been taking these transfers very well. It feels like after the results of just one year, we’d effectively squandered years of hard work, and strong recruiting, and lost all our momentum. Two years ago, when there was speculation that the BigTen might expand, Utah was sitting pretty high in the catbird…[Read more]

Yeah, the zoobs might have been encouraged by another season-ending injury to Cam Rising, and are believing they’d successfully “wished-it-into-fruition”, and had decided to give it another go by hoping Whittingham elects to step down.

Correct you are chinngiskhaan. Per the rating services, this new QB room is less impressive than the ineffective one we’d just finished with.

At least this guy is north of 200-lbs. Even if just barely. If we’re going to insist on deploying the dual-threat QBs, we’re going to need a durable one who can weather the inevitable hits he’s going to…[Read more]

Correct you are chinngiskhaan. It’s been a trend for years for cougar fans to label opposing teams after their game. And it always goes the same. Their opponents are always “welcoming” and/or “classy” after games where the zoobs win, and always “vulgar” and/or “classless”, “anti-Mormon”, “drunken sots”, “foul-mouthed” et al after a loss.

Did he all of a sudden just change his mind? The DNews reported a couple of days ago that he’d already committed to return in 2025. In fact, as of right now, they’re still reporting this.

Conner Weigman? Devin Brown?

Yes please!!!

I predict that a committee to shoehorn Alabama into the CFP will convene first thing in the morning.

Barton returning would be huge. But I would think he’d consider entering the NFL draft. He’s got the talent to go early.

Dampier is an INT machine. So I’m not sold on him either.

I’ll take that RB though!

I was only going to give it a “2”, but OnlyU talked him up enough for me give him a “3”.

Meh.

You’re neither “accurate” nor “honest”. You said you’d never post on here if your pick for OC didn’t come to fruition. Yet here you are, 2-hrs after Jason Beck was hired as Utah’s newest OC, still posting.

If you want to post lies, go to cougarboard. They live for those types of fantasies. You’ll fit right in. You’d be venerated even. They…[Read more]

Rivals shows that we also have commitments from both Tavion McNair (WR) and Maximum Fonoimoana (LB). But it doesn’t shown them as having been signed yet. Do we know if they’re one of those types of recruits that are holding out for some “hat ceremony” in February?

I kinda feel like if he hadn’t have announced his departure on X, none of us here would have known he was even on the roster to begin with.

Jeanty weighed 195-lbs as a true freshman.

195!

Not 170!

Which of those 2 former Utah RBs were well under 200-lbs?

Just because a RB is as short as Moss and Jordan, that doesn’t mean he’s any good.

Utah already has a roster full of scatbacks. What we need are serviceable power backs. We’re not getting one of those with this guy.

Meh.

@SalUtopia

I think the “best-case scenario” for Utah is, Whittingham announces his retirement, and Scalley takes over. Scalley then poaches Jay Hill as our new DC, and hires a strong OC — whomever that may be.

And for the record, I’m not in the “fire Whittingham” camp. I think he’s one of the best coaches to have every taken the helm of a…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ll sign that.

Never heard of any Aztec Warriors crying out from the grave over how offended they are that San Diego St had adopted them as their mascot.

No victim.

Wilson is a true freshman. It’s not reasonable to expect that we’d be in the Big 12 race with a true freshman QB. It’s too soon to cut him.

To be fair, they were coming off a bye week, so they had more time to prepare.

Since it hadn’t already been mentioned yet, Bernard is currently 6th in the nation in yards rushing this season. He’s only 1-yd behind #5 Kyle Monangai (Rutgers), and 6-yds behind #4 Ja’Quinden Jackson (Arkansas).
