I believe it is the right decision. If your team is 350th in MBB in free throw shooting – you should be fired. However, I am not sure about the timing.

It is sad to me that the Ute basketball program which had so much rich history has to be rebuilt from scratch. It will not be an easy job.

That’s fair.

I do agree that not having a Cam Rising distraction will be a big plus in 2025.

I agree that Barton did not have a good season. I talked to his family just last week. He had never recovered from his 2023 injury and was a step slow. I hope to see the Barton from the 2023 again in 2025.

As far as the D-line is concerned – we do have Fano back and he is a stud IMO. But, we seem to lack experience in the middle. That’s…[Read more]

Tony, I get what you are saying. BUT, other teams lose QBs and the offense still performs. In 2023 when we lost Rising, Arizona lost Ward. They went to their backup and ended up 10-2. Preparing a backup QB is the coach’s responsibility. We have not had a good backup QB in years.

Also, we had a lot more problems than just QB in 2024 IMO.…[Read more]

I have some strong opinions about what is going on in Washington. However, I do not want this board to become like UteFans. I will go somewhere else to share my political views.

Go Utes!!!

Technically Whitt said, “He’s not on the current roster.” That would leave the door open. I am not suggesting or hoping that Cam stays. I’m just saying that Whitt’s words were carefully parsed, leaving the door open.

BUT – I do not think Cam is staying. Personally, I think we need to move on. I love CR, but we need to move on to the next…[Read more]

That would be great news!!!

I like Rose and appreciate that he stayed after last season. However, with everyone we have in the QB room now, and Johnson as an emergency QB – I would not waste a roster spot on Rose. He is not good enough for that now that we have rebuilt to QB room.

His injury will not allow him to play in spring ball, so that works against him right now.…[Read more]

The 4 top seeds all lost.

I am pleased Johnson decided to return to Utah. As for me, I hope he is not going to play QB. If he is an emergency QB – great.

I would be fine with him running some wildcat on occasion. However, I hope he is willing to play WR. He has NO future in the NFL as a QB, but if he develops some WR skills, he could possibly play on Sundays.

I hope 2025 is good year for Utah football. I do not expect a place in the CFP or a conference championship. But, I hope for a team that is much improved, plays hard, performs well, and wins at least 7 or 8 games.

Gi Utes!!!

That’s tough. I must admit that Utah sports has been the biggest rif in my nearly 50 years of marriage. But, it did not come to divorce.

Best wishes as you start over!

My dad has been gone for over 40 years. I still think about him often and am grateful for the years we had together. He was a great man in so many ways.

Yes, life is full of ups and downs. We all face challenges. I just hope to find the strength to handle mine.

Best wishes to you and your parent.
