ProudUte replied to the topic Who here watched Utah basketball at the Einar Nielsen Fieldhouse? in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year ago
Mike Newlin is one of my all-time favorites. He also had a very good NBA career. He was a remarkable free-throw shooter.

ProudUte started the topic Who here watched Utah basketball at the Einar Nielsen Fieldhouse? in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year ago
I remember going with my dad to watch Utah basketball at the Einar Nielsen Fieldhouse. The last season was the 1968/1969 season. The Special Events Center (now Huntsman Center) opened in 1969.
I remember watching Jerry Chambers, Tate, Jackson, and McKay play there in the final four season of 65-66. I have fond memories of those days.

ProudUte replied to the topic Why can’t we draw more fans in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year ago
I believe the constant transfers made it most difficult for me. It is hard when the team is 75% different every year. This was before the portal Coach K had a hard time keeping his best players. I am honestly just not that interested in college basketball anymore.
I admit that the women’s team is fun to watch.

Great response by players and coaches on Saturday. Great game plan and execution of the plan.
Big challenge on the road this week. We can’t just play well, we need to play great and we need to be prepared.
UW has excellent personnel with a great QB. Their focus is throwing the ball and they do it better than any other team in the country.…[Read more]

Best post of the year!!! I needed a laugh this morning.

ProudUte replied to the topic Which QB do you take if you are an NFL GM? in the forum Football 1 year ago
I would pick Penix, Ewers, and Nix before Williams. IMO, guys like him can hurt a team. Williams has the talent for sure. But he seems to be about Williams first and the team second.

ProudUte started the topic UW's last five games have all been one score games in the 4th quarter. in the forum Football 1 year ago
The Huskies have figured out how to win all five games. But, it shows they are vulnerable. They gave up 33 points to Stanford for heaven’s sake. (They could have easily lost to ASU and Oregon.)
I am in no way predicting that we win this Saturday because of all our injuries. But, it is a game that we can win if we can generate consistent…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic I hear that some Utah NIL donors may not be too pleased. in the forum Football 1 year ago
I am sure that you are right. I doubt the donors negotiate directly with the coaching staff. But, they, like all of us were led to believe that these two would play this season.
Oh well – life goes on.

ProudUte replied to the topic I hear that some Utah NIL donors may not be too pleased. in the forum Football 1 year ago
1280 on Friday. I am only the messenger. I don’t know if it is a big deal or not. But, it would not surprise me if one or more donors are not pleased.
However, as a friend of mine said yesterday – Ute fans are big still supporters of Rising and Kuithe and the donors are still getting their money’s worth.

ProudUte started the topic I hear that some Utah NIL donors may not be too pleased. in the forum Football 1 year ago
I heard that some donors feel that they were duped on the Rising/Kuithe situation. They were told that these guys would play this season and the rest is history. (I don’t think anyone is blaming the players.)
Of course, injuries will happen and great players may get hurt in game one and miss the season. But, they made their investment planning…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic How’re you feeling about the UW game? in the forum Football 1 year ago
You are probably right about Geogia. I think that Oregon is the best team in the PAC12 right now and if they play UW again in Vegas, I think they win by double digits.

ProudUte replied to the topic How’re you feeling about the UW game? in the forum Football 1 year ago
UW has an amazing pass offense. Our weakness seems to be pass defense. We can only be successful IMO if we pressure Penix and force some mistakes.
On offense, I am nervous because of Jackson’s injury. If he plays, will he be at full strength? Apparently, Vaki has been banged up.
UW is vulnerable and our coaches will need a good game plan to…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic It takes special talent to make a Jay Hill D look this bad in the forum They So Poo Poo 1 year ago
It is BYU’s first season playing in a P5 conference. They don’t have the depth yet. Sitake will be given a chance to recruit and develop the team. He won’t be dismissed for a few years. As bad as they looked (and they looked very bad) they are still 5-4 and could become bowl-eligible against Iowa State.
Sitake has some business dealings on…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Utah plays in the conference championship if this happens. in the forum Football 1 year ago
I am not trying to suggest that it is going to happen, but here is what would get us in the championship game.
USC beats UW
Utah wins out including at UW
Oregon wins out including USC and OSUIf these things happen, we would go back to Vegas. The only problem is that we would play Oregon again.
That being said, with yet another key injury…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic So using the ASU games for comparison, Utah should beat UW in the forum Football 1 year ago
38-9
I will take it. 🙂
Of course, comparative scores mean nothing.

ProudUte started the topic Well, I guess I didn't need to worry. in the forum Football 1 year ago
We dominated the entire game on both sides of the ball. The special teams had some issues, but great game!!!
My game grades:
Defense – A+ (84 total yards allowed. Wow!!!)
Offense – A
Special Teams – C-
Overall – AGo Utes!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic Are Jonah Elliss and Cole Bishop Gone After this Season? in the forum Football 1 year ago
He can put on weight in the NFL, but I think he gets drafted higher if he is a bit bigger and stronger. In the end, I think he makes more money by waiting a year. But, that’s just me. Regardless, I support Elliss whatever he decides is best for him.

ProudUte replied to the topic Are Jonah Elliss and Cole Bishop Gone After this Season? in the forum Football 1 year ago
I think Johan Elliss still needs to put on some weight and gain some strength. He is small by NFL standards.
I believe you may be right on Bishop. If he has a good NIL deal, he may stay.
