Yeah, retirement has been nice that wat. 🙂

ProudUte replied to the topic Two game time pet peeves. in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

When I was a kid, my dad took us to the stadium 90 minutes before game time. So, I learned early in life to arrive early for the games.

ProudUte replied to the topic What are you hoping for on Thursday for Offense, Defense, Special Teams? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Tony, I agree with you. To add to Isaac Wilson playing – I hope he gets at least a series or two with the starters. I want to see what he can do and more importantly, I want him to be ready if he is needed later this season.

No major injuries is a big thing. I doubt Whitt cares if we score 50 points or not. He wants the guys to look sharp and…[Read more]

I am stoked for the 2024 season and I think many of you are as well. I am surprised how quiet this board is today. I think this post will be only the third new thread today. The one thing that I do like about the CB is the amount of activity they have.

I love discussing Utah football, and I love what Tony has done with this site. I just wish…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Dallon Bently in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Great article. Thanks for sharing. If he is as good as the coaches project him to be, he could be one of the best “human interest” stories of the 2024 college football season.

ProudUte started the topic Whitt's presser in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

I took notes on the computer, but lost it. So here is what I can remember:

Singer is WR1 and the best hands we have seen in a long time. The passing game goes through him.

Kuithe is looking good. He is one of the best receiving tight ends in college football. We have a very deep tight end room and you will see a lot of multiple tight end…[Read more]

I have great memories of taking my kids to football and basketball games. Now they are taking their kids. Enjoy!!!

ProudUte started the topic Injuries at CB in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

A Dnews article this morning implies that the reason Randle moved to CB is because of some unnamed injuries at CB. Maybe, Blocker has suffered an injury. Unless it is season-ending – Whitt will never let us know. I hope Blocker has a minor injury and will eventually see time this fall.

ProudUte replied to the topic Depth Chart 👀: Gilman @ SS, Van & Logan co-starters, Dallen Bentley TE in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Yeah, this surprises me. If they moved Randle over to CB and Blocker is not mentioned anywhere, you would have to assume that he is a bust. I suppose he could be injured, but I have not heard anything. I hope he has a minor injury and that we still see him this season.

Obviously, Bentley is doing very well to be listed as a starter is a deep…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic The Big 12 needs to do this game in Dublin in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Thanks, Aloha. I didn’t know that.

I still think it would be fun to play in Dublin.

ProudUte started the topic The Big 12 needs to do this game in Dublin in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

The ACC is using it for a conference game. The Big 10 did the same thing a few years ago. I would love it if Utah played in the game against a conference foe. It would be fun to play our game against BYU over there. I would try to make it. Good money and great publicity.

ProudUte replied to the topic Saban picks the Utes to win the Big 12 in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

They just picked their CFP brackets. Utah was on all of them. Even McAfee had Utah in the at-large group. Again, it’s nice to get the publicity. It helps our brand and it certainly helps recruiting. Now, we need to prove it on the field.

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic Camp Standouts in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

I love it. I am glad to hear that Ritchie is back to where he was in 2020 (probably stronger now). Bentley and Mitchell have been getting a lot of positive publicity since spring. Lomu was a highly recruited tackle. Sounds like he is ready to shine.

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte started the topic Saban picks the Utes to win the Big 12 in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Actually, everyone on GameDay picked the Utes except McAfee. He picked West Virginia. I am not sure if he was joking or not. But, he did pick OSU as second.

Everyone talked about Cam coming back and that Utah is tough in the trenches. They also mentioned that Utah picked up some great wide receivers from the portal. They pointed out that the…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic What are your "This is Utah Football" moments? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Coming from behind and beating BYU 23-22 in 1978. That was the moment that I felt that Utah had started to turn the corner. The 80s had its challenges and then Mac came in and when the Utes won 34-31 in Provo, I knew things had changed.

ProudUte replied to the topic The Rising Report in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Thanks for posting. I always enjoy listening to Cam Rising. Basically he confirms what we have been hearing – that we will pass more.

ProudUte started the topic Detroit's coach praising Vaki in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Vaki

Looks like he has some career options. 🙂

ProudUte replied to the topic What 2- or 3-deep player are you most excited to see vs SUU? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Isaac Wilson is on the top of my list. It would be fun to see Lohner catch a ball. I would like to see Fitgerald at Defensive End and some of our backup linebackers.

I am also anxious to see some of our new starters like our new safeties, Oline, etc.

Go Utes!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic Trevor Reilly in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

I always liked Trevor when he played here. But, he seems a little bitter in this interview. I hope things work out for him and he can land on his feet.

ProudUte started the topic It's officially Game Week. Who else is excited? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago

I’m an old guy and I don’t get excited about a lot anymore. But I have been looking forward to this season since the middle of last season. On paper, we have seemed to fill in most of our holes. Now, it’s time to deliver.

Go Utes!!!
