ProudUte replied to the topic Wilson officially to portal in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

As recently as yesterday, I wanted Wilson to stay at Utah. However, I learned some things yesterday about Wilson (off the field) that changed my mind. Isaac needs to leave Utah for his own personal reasons.

His off the field behavior and how he has acted in the locker room now makes me happy he is leaving. I had high hopes for Isaac, but…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Fifita to transfer portal (rumors) in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

I would absolutely take Fifita

ProudUte started the topic I hope Wilson stays in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

I may be in the minority on this board. But, I don’t want to give up on Isaac yet. I know that the offense was terrible this season and Wilson did not look good.

BUT – I still think he has talent and after the experience he gained this season, I believe he will be a better QB. Most importantly, the blame for the terrible offense is not all on…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Reason in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

I think this is a fair question. My answer today is that I don’t know. There are too many unknowns, i.e., who leaves the team for the portal, who we get from the portal, who gets healthy, who develops from the current team, etc.

I certainly hope we improve and improve a lot. But, the season just ended. Nothing has yet happened that has me…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Damuni? in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

I heard Damuni would still be eligible next season and that he was planning on returning. Has anyone heard something different?

If Barton and Damuni return, we could be very solid at linebacker in 2025.

ProudUte replied to the topic RU Kidding Me in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

I think every Ute fan has his/her own opinion. As for me, I am very frustrated about the last 16 months. I could make a long list of things that upset me that have nothing to do with wins or losses.

I love what Whitt did for our program, but IMO it is time for him to step down and turn things over to his student, Morgan Scalley. But, I am am…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic So, who will be in the QB room for spring ball? in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Post of the day!!!

ProudUte replied to the topic Simote Pepa in transfer portal in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Yes it does.

ProudUte replied to the topic What version of Beck will Whitt allow? in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

I still hope that Whitt retires (doubtful). If he does – I think Beck will open things up. He will build the offense around the skillset of he QB as he should.

ProudUte replied to the topic Blocker, Stanley, Woods in Portal in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

I get Blocker and Stanley, but Woods is a surprise and a disappointment.

Our RB room looks very bleak right now.

ProudUte started the topic So, who will be in the QB room for spring ball? in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Will Wilson stay?

How about Rose and Huard?

Will Dampier come to Utah?

We have two new freshmen coming in.

Will we go to the portal?

Oh, and I guess Rising is still a possibility. 🙂 (I highly doubt it, but …)

ProudUte replied to the topic We have some inbred football histories in this fair state of ours in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

At least half of BYU’s coaching staff has ties to Utah many of Utah’s staff has ties to BYU. Hardly anyone on Utah’s staff graduated outside of the state of Utah. That in and of itself is odd in NCAA football.

When BYU was on top of the football world, their offensive and defensive coordinators were Utah grads. Oh, and their head coach was a…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Bronco to Utah State in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

That’s interesting.

ProudUte started the topic Jason Beck is the latest rumor for OC in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

New Mexico had a decent offense this year. Maybe he could work out.

OC (from ESPN700) has been bringing up his name all week.

ProudUte started the topic This has been a disappointing week for me in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Let me first say that this is just football and I should not be so invested. Sometimes I wish my dad would have taken me to the ballet or the opera instead of football games. I truly understand that being disappointed by football is insane. But, I am invested and I am too old to change that.

I wanted Whiit to retire so we could rebuild our…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Bet this is how it will play out in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Good way to bring some humor to the last two seasons.

ProudUte replied to the topic From Sir Alex Markham on X in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Why should I trust anything from the football program?

Whitt said in 2023 – Rising would play soon. He never played.

Whitt said in 2024 Rising’s injury was minor. Well …

Whitt said he would retire before he was 63. He is now 65.

Whitt said that Scalley would be involved in any coaching decisions. It appears that this is really not the…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Whittingham is Utah's OC Achilles Heal? in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

I agree 100%.

This program needs rebuilding. The offense needs a complete overhaul. But, Whitt will keep the offense as it has been. He may just promote Harding to OC.

He may let Morgan voice his opinion on potential OCs. However, from what I have heard, he is in control and will not let anyone else in. Very sad IMO.

ProudUte replied to the topic Utah is now 0 for 2 on OC candidates. in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

This is all bad news. It makes me sad where this is all going.

ProudUte replied to the topic Sione Fotu to the portal in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Not good. I expected a number of guys to leave. I hoped he was not one of them.
