Charlie replied to the topic Right on cue in the forum Football 5 months, 2 weeks ago
You must have 2 QBs ready to go in the season, of course one will be better than the second. We have no idea how far along Rose is currently. The fact that he has not been mentioned by Whitt as QB2 means nothing to me for the reasons above. The spring game will be the first hint as to where he is but I expect the ‘competition’ to go thru the first…[Read more]

Goodness, Whitt wants to completely encourage the next 3 or 4 QBs behind Rising. There is zero benefit and a mountain of problems is Whitt was to give you a report this early in the competition for QB2. His focus is getting as many as 3 QBs ready to go next fall and the carrot is the QB2 position. I expect in the next portal window he will look…[Read more]

The only mention of the Y is in the Utah game, however, I think the Utah vs Colorado game will be better.

Charlie replied to the topic Official, Rollie to TP in the forum Basketball (Men) 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I wish Rollie stayed, he has a better drive to the rim game and he can play with Smith in a 2 PG system. Keba will likely not ever be a starter but is an awesome bench option. Lovering does not have high minutes in him even if we tried to give him high minutes. Erickson will be better next year. All these guys, much like Smith, should realize it…[Read more]

Awesome, I want to sit with you. Kids have quite an impact on concessions, I don’t bother to stop unless I have my grandkids.

Charlie replied to the topic What was the announced attendance last night? in the forum Basketball (Men) 6 months ago
Sadly, 80% of the NIT teams are pissed they did not make the NCAA tournament. Oddly, I watched college basketball for decades before the NCAA tournament surpassed the NIT and picked first. Maybe the only single significant accomplishment by the NCAA was eclipsing the NIT. Fun fact, when Utah won the national championship in 1944, they went to the…[Read more]

Not sure. I had a friend that owned a station on the side and he always laughed at that thought that is repeated a lot. However, event concessions have a very high profit margin but comes in after TV and ticket sales, I think.

Exactly. Coaches have their job to do. Players have their job to do. Fans have support to do. When any of the three wait for the others, progress is slow at best. A wise man once said things happen for only one of two reasons: chance or you make it happen. As fans, if you have spending money you can help the administration and influence coaching.…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic OnlyU in the forum Football 6 months ago
Best case, Rising is healthy and misses little if any game time, Rose and Wilson both have a healthy attitude about growing as a QB, and the portal provides a serviceable backup that finishes several games letting Rising chill. Rose and Wilson have no reason to panic about a spring depth chart.
Remind me, did Utah get a QB coach? Has there been…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Utah is next — NAACP backlash from anti DEI legislation in the forum Football 6 months, 1 week ago
Goodness, DEI is often simply virtue signaling, to actively promote it with departments, statements, policies has nothing to do with actual desired results. Consider the recent news coming from the Veterans Administration related to problems in their DEI department. Sadly aggressive voices promoting DEI may actually be making things worse not…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Runnin Ute Player Inventory in the forum Basketball (Men) 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Don’t get me wrong, the Big 12 is great in basketball. However, rather than assume it is miles ahead of the Pac I want to wait and see. My hesitation is watching the Y go from mid conference in the WCC with a losing record in conference to 1 game over 500 mid conference in the Big 12. They did that with the same coach and almost all the same…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Top CFB Head Coaches in the forum Football 6 months, 2 weeks ago
It is interesting how those outside the Utah program respect it the most. They are aware how hard it is to beat Whitt. They would prefer to play most all of the big name coaches over having to play Whitt in a big game they need to win. Often even when getting a win over Utah they whish they were more like Utah. I feel the better respect from…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Big 12 television in the forum Other Ute Sports 7 months ago
The weekend recaps, the replays of games in 60 minutes to watch other Pac games, the preseason and pregame in-depth interviews and stories were all very good and will now be a thing of the past. If you had it the P12N was awesome.

Charlie replied to the topic 2024 schedule – Hot off the press in the forum Football 7 months, 3 weeks ago
I really could not care less when the game with the Y is. My first thoughts were 5 on the road and 4 at home, the bye weeks, everyone has two this year and ours are spaced well, the games I am concerned with – Az, Ok State, and TCU – are one home, two on the road. As for Big 12 rival, I want to see who becomes the greatest challenge to us getting…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Harlan thinks that 2023 was Whitt's best in the forum Football 7 months, 3 weeks ago
I agree, QB has been our most difficult recruit. With NIL I think it will become quite difficult for teams that are not top 10 to keep a second QB that looks ready to play. It is the nut Whitt needs to crack. At UofA they were surprised that they had a second QB ready to go so soon. It is what you dream about but is hard to replicate. I am hoping…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Harlan thinks that 2023 was Whitt's best in the forum Football 7 months, 3 weeks ago
I agree. How many of the top teams last year could win 8 games without their starting QB? As an example, where would Washington finish with our injuries? Whitt could have had a better option for QB2, of course a mistake, however it is difficult to have all contingencies covered every year. My expectation allows for a great coach to get caught by a…[Read more]
