leftyjace replied to the topic Orlando Umana is transferring. in the forum Football 3 years, 4 months ago

A few things to remember.

First, he was a captain last season. He is not a captain this season. Not sure if that has an impact, but being a captain has to be a source of pride.

Second, he is a senior. He likely graduated with his undergrad last season. If he wants to get his grad degree under scholarship, going to another school makes sense,…[Read more]

I also wouldn’t be surprised if the intermediary phenomenon was driven by the athletes themselves. Kind of a “ask so and so that if I were to enter the transfer portal, would they want me?” sort of thing.

Yep… being a Yankee fan, I have a front row seat to this when I’m reading the New York newspaper posts. Needless to say it has been very interesting to watch the worm turn.

Got it.
Ya, the Premium Terrace is basically where the North End Zone seats were – directly above all the booths, etc.

So… has anybody else gone through the Premium Terrace presentation?
Is anybody thinking of getting tickets up there?

leftyjace replied to the topic How funny would it be if Samson decided to stay at Utah in the forum They So Poo Poo 3 years, 8 months ago

The policy is simple.
If they want to come back, they petition Whitt.
If Whitt is OK with it, he sends it to the players who vote.
If the players vote that they can return, then they return.
That’s how it worked with what’s-his-name-the-receiver-that-came-back-after-entering-the-portal-this-year.

I feel a massive thread merge coming on…

Who came to us via BYU. His point, at least in response to your counter-argument, wins.

leftyjace replied to the topic Ale Kaho transfers to utah in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

Speculation is that Nephi Sewell might be a person to transfer to the backfield as a result of this add.
But that’s it… speculation.

leftyjace replied to the topic Keep hearing about what a huge loss Thompson is in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

I think you can flip that – if we had a quarterback that would take a chance and throw the long ball more often, he’d have better stats. But he caught a helluva lot of balls thrown his way, regardless of distance.

I agree, his talent was being wasted here. But that sucks, because we NEEDED that talent.

leftyjace replied to the topic Who’s next??!! in the forum Football 3 years, 10 months ago

Wow.
Where are we weak? Where? Wide Receiver? Possibly. Where else?
This is unreal, seeing all of this happen.
We can’t have Ty back. Which is… unbelievable.
But with what’s left…
I’ll take Curry and Pledger over Wilmore and Brumfield in that room any day.
Cuz that’s exactly what’s happened.
With the amazing things happening in the QB room,…[Read more]
