I have sometimes wondered if NIL has made players a little lazy. Since they are getting paid they don’t have the hunger to do all the little things outside of practice like mobility or flexibility work. I am old and know that is good for me and I don’t do it as often as I should.

The helmets look really cool but I am glad to know I am not the only one who thinks the interlocking U’s is a curse. It might be the old, superstitious hockey player in me but the throwbacks just don’t seem to to work this year.

When was the last time Utah won a game in the throwback uniforms?

I have never been a big fan of the throwback…[Read more]

Whittingham doesn’t want to retire after losing to BYU and having a losing season. He has earned the right to fix things and see what happens. This season has sucked but does Whitt leaving magically mean Scalley will become the next head coach and make the CFP? As others have said Scalley will have some growing pains too.

No reason Utah can’t have a resurgent season next year. Whether Whitt or Morgan is the coach the defense can be counted on.

BYU fans are believing this. I have a BYU fan friend and neighbor who basically told me the same thing.

Based on the selection criteria the Big 12 still seems like the best path to the CFP for Utah right now. I have confidence that things will be righted. The defense is still a top in the country and Utah just needs an average offense to be very competitive.

Right now I think the Big 12 would love to see a CU vs BYU conference championship game.…[Read more]

@MiamiUte I like your optimism. I think I am frustrated on the season and need to be more positive. Thanks for showing the possibility. If the defense does what they do there is always a chance.

Is there a qb that can stay upright a full season? Maybe another running back? After this year it feels like the bar is pretty low for what Utah needs.

This is the problem. We keep talking about the hold but forget that the defense allowed BYU to go 90+ yards twice to score and the offense couldn’t score in the 2nd half or even get a first down to win the game.

I have no issue being in the Big 12 but I do miss the rivalry that was developed with USC. I have a lot of coworkers who are USC fans and that created a lot of fun at work over the years.

Haven’t we all accepted that this season may have exposed one or two issues within the program? It is the roller coaster ride of being a sports fan. Like many of you I will still watch the Colorado game and hope for the unexpected.

That shows a lot of character and super cool to read. Hopefully that attitude permeates the team and someway, somehow find a win in the next three games.

Whittingham sounds pretty down in this. It is a reminder that as frustrated as we are on the season none of our frustration can compare to his.

It is going to be ugly. Colorado still has a lot of play for. Utah, not much. I hope to be surprised but I have extremely low expectations for the rest of the season.

I have heard a couple of BYU fans I know use the phrase “Season of Destiny” for BYU’s season. They haven’t liked when I asked them how BYU will do against Georgia in the CFP.

At this point it would be great if somehow ASU and Colorado played for the Big 12 championship just to piss off BYU and the rest of the Big 12.

Just another example of don’t believe the hype until the results show on the field. Feels like that is the theme of Utah football the last two seasons.

I am sure the NIL collective for Utah will approach their NIL payouts differently after the Cam NIL debacle. As I read on another thread Cam’s NIL is like a reward for job well done for the two Pac 12 conference championships.

We are feeling a down year of football after having a lot of up years. Utah will be back.
