ProudUte replied to the topic Joel Klatt’s way too early preseason poll – Utah #8 in the forum Football 9 months 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 9 months 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 9 months, 1 week 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, 1 week 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]

Witt said he is ready to play in Spring ball and so is Kuithe.

That’s fair.

ProudUte replied to the topic I'll take it! in the forum Football 9 months, 2 weeks 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.

ProudUte started the topic 2024 Polynesian recruiting in the forum Football 9 months, 2 weeks ago
I read an article recently that said Utah went 0 for 12 recruiting Polynesians this recruiting season. I thought that’s not good. The article is somewhat wrong in the Utah signed Ellis and his dad is Samoan.
Nonetheless, this year was not a good year for us in landing the top Polynesian players. The Polynesian connection has been the…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Harlan in the forum Misc 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Pedro, I respect your opinion on this matter. However, I don’t completely agree and apparently, many others also don’t agree. But, no hate from me because you have a different opinion. I appreciate you having the guts to post something you feel that may go against the majority on this board.
Keep posting.

ProudUte replied to the topic New Offensive Analyst: Urban Meyer's son-in-law. in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
This may be great news. He has had some great QBs at OSU like Stroud. Utah needs a QB “whisperer” to help develop our young QBs.

ProudUte replied to the topic I am both excited and concerned about the 2024 season in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Thanks for posting this article. It’s a good read. The article first said it was kneed surgery he needed and then it talks about replacing some femur and cartilage. The bottom line is it will come from a cadaver and they need a match. The article also says he will not be able to walk for three months. So, it is not an easy surgery.
I do love…[Read more]

Whitt said that when he has surgery is out of his control. Someone on this board indicated he needed a kneecap replaced and they were waiting on a donor match. I had never heard of a kneecap transplant.

This is just not true. There are dozens of examples where the backup came in and did great. Just look at Arizona this year.

ProudUte started the topic I am both excited and concerned about the 2024 season in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
If Cam Rising finds his groove and stays healthy, the 2024 season could be amazing. A healthy Cam Rising makes things happen. Our passing game and running game will be better. I suspect we will average about 450 yards per game and control TOP.
However, if Cam suffers an injury or setback, I am concerned about the 2024 season. We have three…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic UCF podcast previewing their schedule in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Looks like you posted this one minute before me. 🙂
They really respect the Utes and don’t see much good about BYU other than a fanbase that travels well.

ProudUte started the topic UCF podcast loves Ute football in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJhJf3GZGo0&t=1512s
They talk about Utah at the 36:30 mark. They are very high on Utah. If you want to have a good laugh, listen to their take on BYU. One guy says, “I honestly don’t know what BYU adds to the conference.” 🙂

ProudUte replied to the topic Can we stop with AZ in the forum Football 9 months, 4 weeks ago
I don’t know how good or bad Arizona will be in 2024. What I do know is Fifita is a heckuva QB and he has an All-American WR. Losing their head coach “could” be huge. However, I have seen coaches come in and take the recruits from a previous coach and have great success. I don’t know how many players Arizona has lost to graduation, portal, and…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Breakdown of Utah's Schedule in the forum Football 9 months, 4 weeks ago
I agree with most of your post, but I am not nearly as high on UCF as you. But, you are right about their easy schedule. I don not like starting our Big 12 schedule at possibly the toughest place to play in the conference. I don’t like traveling across the country on Thanksgiving week to place UCF.

ProudUte started the topic I don't much like out 2024 football schedule in the forum Football 9 months, 4 weeks ago
It is not terrible, but there are a few things I don’t like.
First – We play our first Big 12 game on the road at OSU (a tough place to play against a solid team).
Second – Three of our first four conference games appear to be the toughest – OSU, Arizona, and TCU. The schedule is front-loaded. I would like to get our feet wet first before…[Read more]
