ProudUte started the topic Utah football coaches in my lifetime… in the forum Football 8 months, 1 week ago
Technically Jack Curtis coached at Utah when I was alive, but I do not remember him.
Ray Nagel – Nagel led Utah to the 1964 co-championship and took the Utes to the Liberty Bowl where we beat West Virginia in the first college football game ever played indoors. He left after the 1965 season to coach at Iowa. I liked Nagel and hated to lose…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Spring ball starts tomorrow – What do want to see? in the forum Football 8 months, 1 week ago
I guess I am most interested in the QB position. We know what Cam can do, but I am interested to see/hear if he is 100%. I am very interested in Rose and his development. I suspect Wilson will not be physically participating in spring practice.
Running back is another interesting group. Who will emerge as RB1?
We have a bunch of new wide…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic I think it might be time to admit what we all fear… in the forum Basketball (Men) 8 months, 1 week ago
Utah has a tough road ahead to regain basketball prominence. But, Utah did not become a great basketball program when big Rick showed up. Have you heard of Jack Gardner (he went to two final fours). Do you remember Jerry Pimm. He had some great teams. Utah had a great basketball program. We have made some mistakes with coaching hires and…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Fox is saying that the Utah/BYU game may be played on Friday night in the forum Football 8 months, 1 week ago
The game is currently scheduled for Saturday, November 9th. Fox will be starting Friday night football broadcasts in October. The Big 12 and Big 10 are on board. They will announce their schedule in late May. Since Utah and BYU have byes the week before – the rivalry game seems like a likely candidate.
This is the same week as the semi-final…[Read more]

IMO, Jaylon is one of the best players to have played at Utah. He was a true shutdown corner.

ProudUte replied to the topic Recruiting: upcoming official visit – 4* CB Adonyss Currie in the forum Football 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Many of our top recruits have been cornerbacks. I hope we land this guy.
Go Utes!!!

ProudUte started the topic Laumea and Bishop score well at combine in the forum Football 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Bishop had a good forty time of 4.45. Vaki did not score well and had a slow forty time of 4.62. This surprised me. I saw Vaki make some great runs this last year where no one could catch him.
Bishop probably helped himself. I see him possibly drafted in the second round.

ProudUte replied to the topic Will someone with a CougarBoard membership please hold this Zoob accountable? in the forum They So Poo Poo 8 months, 2 weeks ago
The Cougar Board’s hate for Utah knows no bounds. They will try to spin everything (and I mean everything) to show that BYU is better than Utah. Just this week they were trashing the Hunstman Center as a trashy, ugly arena.
On the one hand, BYU is a better football program because they won a NC and have a Heisman winner. Utah has a better…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Our new conference is apparently cheating in the forum Basketball (Men) 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Apparently, the Big 12 has the weakest nonconference schedule in all D1 basketball. They are doing this to boost their net ranking. Interesting …

ProudUte started the topic Do we want this kid? in the forum Football 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Are we interested in this LB from Stanford? Since he has graduated, he is available immediately. Utah recruited him out of high school. Are we interested?

ProudUte started the topic Michigan has 18 players invited to the Combine in the forum Football 8 months, 3 weeks ago
That’s crazy. Let’s say that 15 get drafted. That’s just nuts. No wonder that they won the NC. Also, not surprising that Harbaugh left. It has to be a rebuilding year for Michigan.

ProudUte replied to the topic Joel Klatt’s way too early preseason poll – Utah #8 in the forum Football 8 months, 3 weeks ago
This got me wondering how the CB responded to this podcast. Here are a few of the posts;
– Still trying to understand the annual over-ranking of Utah
– It’s especially confusing because the teams that are always overrated have won some national championships.
– The national media get their information from the local media which are all biased…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Joel Klatt’s way too early preseason poll – Utah #8 in the forum Football 8 months, 3 weeks ago
I don’t buy it – YET. I want to see how this team plays in the first 4 weeks. Can we replace two outstanding safeties? Can our offensive line improve after losing two NFL-caliber players? Will Barton play or not? Can we find a 1000 rusher? Will our new receivers play as advertised?
I think we could be a top 8 team. But, for me, I need to…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Whitt ranked 3rd best coach in college football in the forum Football 8 months, 3 weeks ago
That’s quite an impressive group of coaches and Whitt is ranked 3rd. I realize that rankings like this can be subjective. But, we are lucky to have Whitt here at Utah.
Kyle Whittingham simply knows how to build a football program. Utah teams are immensely tough. It shouldn’t be a surprise — as the team builds its identity around…

ProudUte replied to the topic Utah needs to embrace being “the villain” in the forum Football 8 months, 4 weeks ago
I’m with Tony. These lists are stupid and subjective.
Tough team. Great defense. Efficient offense. If that’s being a “villain” then fine.

Believe it or not, he somehow is still eligible next season.

ProudUte replied to the topic Funny to hear others say the same thing about LES in the forum They So Poo Poo 9 months ago
Thanks for posting. I enjoy it when our Cougar friends post. I only quibble with your statement about taking LES on game day over RES. RES on game day, when they wear all red or the blackout games, are amazing. I can’t speak to LES on game day because I have not been there since the mid 80s.
That being said, I think stadium smack is silly. I…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic I'll take it! in the forum Football 9 months ago
I think we have as good of a chance as any team in the Big 12 to win the conference. However, I don’t believe it will be easy.
