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 4 months 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.

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 4 months 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. -

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 4 months 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 4 months 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]

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]

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.

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Devon Dampier in the forum Football 4 months ago
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”

EagleMountainUte replied to the topic Cameron Calhoun to the portal. Ouch! in the forum Football 4 months ago
It’s what I do mostly. You just end up not being able to talk about college athletics with your buddies. The other con is you really take losing seasons harder. The little time invested watching Utah football became just a stressful annoyance more than entertainment.
Chat made it easier to just complain. But then you are told you are a bad f…[Read more]

Harding is over the line and an Assistant coach. It makes no sense. He was also co/OC and OC at one point. He is the Shrutest regional manager ever.

Chicken and egg sort of thought process here. Healthy Cam a whole lot of things be different.

I think the defense will be fine. Offensively you have to get to 30 Ppg. It is like 2012 all over again.
