NFL has been so bad this year. The games I have watched have been terrible.
I do like teasing my in laws about the Niners. Man that last game was such a dud. Drops and lazy football all around. -

Absolutely no judgement from me. I just don’t find it as interesting without Utah anymore. I have also felt like the quality of football has declined. You could see it in the NFL for a few years now but it has finally arrived in the college ranks.

Even when they rose to mediocrity by getting into fg range the special teams would line up on that right hash.

The plan of learning behind Rising was the goal. It derailed and in a bad way. Lots of malding and debate over that which ended in Ludwig leaving.
I have heard the offers didn’t exceed expectations. That he would have landed at a similar situation or worst.
If it is true what you are saying I think this is a good sign of maturity. -
EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Dampier or Wilson? in the forum Football 2 weeks, 2 days ago
He ran in High School. He had a ton of yards his Junior year and his senior year it got even bigger.
134<150 Carries a game.
695<1304 Total yards
A long of 54 his senior year. He also went from 5 TDs to 13 his senior year.I want to say he did this with his knee problem as well. Including the championship game where he rushed for 192 yards and…[Read more]

Oh for sure Wilson. I love Quarterbacks coming off of season ending injuries. It works only when it don’t. (TIC)

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Isaac is coming back. in the forum Football 2 weeks, 3 days ago
I am just guessing here that he has significant other not really prepared for long distance.
I was hoping Rose was the one coming back.

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Did Bronco want Beck? in the forum Football 3 weeks ago
Considering how we complain about the lack of transparency on the hill I am always amazed how people know things “clearly”.
I don’t think it is clear at all what took place over the last month or so.
Truth be told I don’t know a thing about the Lobos season until I looked it over. Everyone told me Bronco was doing ok. I would disagree with th…[Read more] -

Pepa and Rose. The rest are just not worth the time honestly.
I think Wilson could be good if he sat a year and ran the scout team.

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Looks like we're hiring Mark Atuaia from wazzu as RB coach in the forum Football 3 weeks ago
Would be more good news and cycling out the bad rubbish that has accumulated offensively from Whitt. I am starting to believe Beck will be able to run what he wants.

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Dampier in the forum Football 3 weeks ago
I agree totally. Sometimes the offense has to take risks because of the lack of confidence in the defense.
Utah had the opposite problem I feel. End of game we saw the defense give up these late touchdowns because of a worn down defense. Eventually an offense can make it through the holes to score. Well except Utah’s offense ironically. -
EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Dampier in the forum Football 3 weeks ago
I think there is a lot of upside with him.
Athletic he is very quick laterally and has good vision.
Leader. He has command when he takes the field. Seems to have a purpose and wants to do well.Going to be a junior. Sophomore to Junior typically is where you see the player get really comfortable. Having Beck be the previous play caller I think…[Read more]

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic NIL and the portal might be the final straw for me in the forum Football 3 weeks, 1 day ago
That is how it works. Nike took a risk on Michael Jordan and it paid off massively. 7 million invested in this kid for whatever reason seems like a short term large investment in a kid that could lead to better things.
Pointing out the hypocrisy is one thing. It just seems like you are jealous Utah can’t do it. Don’t try to make a moral arg…[Read more]

I don’t need to spare you at all. Universities lost the court battle. They should 100% be allowed to sell their image. The current system when it comes to morals is infinitely better than what it was in the past.
The finger wagging moral argument of ending poverty over a kid getting paid also doesn’t matter to me. It is just virtue sig…[Read more]

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic NIL and the portal might be the final straw for me in the forum Football 3 weeks, 1 day ago
The facilities also took private donations to pay for those. You are over simplifying my statement to fit your own argument.
Utah has always been very smart with their money. Compared to like Arizona who takes private donations and then overspends the athletic budget. Or California who never took donations but went into the red to pay for…[Read more]

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic NIL and the portal might be the final straw for me in the forum Football 3 weeks, 1 day ago
I know this is like a popular trend right now I just don’t see the point. We were fine with it 20-30 years ago when the University pocketed the money. What changed? A kid getting the money instead somehow makes it different?
It just feels like virtue signaling at this point.
I will always be fine with a kid getting his bag. I do agree with p…[Read more]

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Take a step back and reflect in the forum Football 3 weeks, 1 day ago
I know you are trying to make a moral point I just wonder why it didn’t exist 20 or 30 years ago when it was the school making the money on the bodies of kids?
A claim to morals in a morally devoid industry never really never resonates for me.

It is really hard to not overlook his rushing numbers. I also think UNM did no favors to Dampier. I think it partially explains the TD/INT ratio.

He is four inches taller than Wilson who is actually 2’6”
