If he goes undrafted, can he come back?

Nah. I like @cptmrgn05 ‘s more realistic takes (even when I don’t agree). Can they be a bit pessimistic at times? Sure.

However, this board (like many fan boards) can become like an echo chamber at times and needs a dose of reality here and there.

I would still watch Utah football. I would be disappointed, but I would still be a fan.

If you think Utah has been playing on a level field with the Ohio State, Alabama, USC, and Texas teams of the world (even in the Pac-12 era) then you haven’t really been paying attention.

While Utah may have closed the gap a little as a member of the Pac-12,…[Read more]

Tell me you didn’t read the details without telling me you didn’t read the details…

He sure laid the Wood there at the end.

I don’t think the game is even scheduled yet, so I don’t think anyone on the planet can help you with this one.

Judging by how they dominated Utah this year, you could certainly be correct.

I think you are missing the point of the statement/argument: “Development”

@cptmrgn05 is not saying Cam is not a good quarterback, merely that there has not been much development.

Cam was a great QB when he first started playing at Utah. However, he arguably never really improved or developed in any significant way. His weaknesses/strengths from…[Read more]

Haha.

Some of our fanbase has certainly turned public opinion against us…

That was before seemingly half the Utah team decided to go play somewhere else or sit out.

This idea that having your best players sticking around longer somehow hurts the team needs to go away.

We rarely get quarterbacks with as much success as Cam Rising. If him sticking around means we don’t get a portal QB, so be it. Shouldn’t affect high school recruiting much, if at all.

In the NIL era, I would’ve expected some of these types of guys to stick around longer, not declare early…

Bowl season used to be fun, now I am not so sure.
The amount of players entering the portal and sitting out games only seems to be increasing, which is very disappointing.

I’ll be watching and hoping for a good game, but I am not feeling particularly excited. It would likely be much more fun to go to the game, but everything is sofa king expensive.

There are lessons to be learned from what happens to other people that took a similar path

I think there is a whole lot of ‘chasing the money’ going on in college football right now (not just the players) and not much ‘learning from the past’.

Yeah, it sucks. Unless the athletes are paid and under contract, there is nothing really to be done.

His tweet says he will be at the bowl game.

Thanks for the information!

Not sure what caused so many injuries this year, but hopefully the team swings back towards the average (or better) next year on the injury front.

I am first a Kyle fan, and a UofU fan second

How did this come to be in your mind?

I know some fans seem to believe that you need to go all out in your support of the team, no matter what.

However, there are some people (like me) that view sports as entertainment. If it is not entertaining I will not watch.

I think college football is fun. Is it the best football you will ever see? No. Are NFL players better? Sure.
However, I…[Read more]

Sneaking into onto the CMU sideline certainly seems more egregious. I still don’t think having other people attend games for you is a big deal, but I suppose I understand the recording aspect being a problem (again, a rule is a rule).
