ProudUte started the topic Who do you watch Utah football games with? in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

I will watch a non Utah football game with almost anyone. However, when it comes to watching Utah football games – there are a limited number of people who I can watch the game with. To me, Utah football is NOT a social event. I will only watch Utah games with serious Utah fans. I cannot stand to watch the games with people who ask silly…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic NIL Announcement Tomorrow in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

I have to admit that if I had that much money, I would likely be donating to charities like TTT, anti domestic violence charities, etc. I hate the NIL overall because it has become something that was not intended. However, for Utah to stay relevant, they must play the game. But, I will spend my charity dollars elsewhere. I love football, but…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic QB rumors I heard on the radio this morning in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Here are a couple of things I heard on the radio this morning concerning our QB situation. These are not official statements from Whitt or Lud. But, it comes from things that PK/DJ have heard. So, take it for what it is worth.

1. The reason Cam has not played is because not all of the doctors have agreed on his status. One doctor says he is…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic New Safety Commit in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Just set me to ignore. I will not dwell on BYU, but from time to time I may post about the CB response. I just find CB posts about Utah to be funny and sometimes entertaining. I don’t post about the BYU football team, coaches, or players.

ProudUte started the topic Isaac Wilson's future at Utah in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

I had my doubts about Wilson prior to this season. He is a bit smaller and I was concerned he may only be highly ranked because of his brother.

I have watched him play many times and he has a very strong arm and he is a baller. He will run and is not afraid to take a hit. He led his team to 42 points against the 2nd ranked HS football team in…[Read more]

Scalley will always be considered a defensive guru. When he becomes head coach, I hope he finds a great offensive coordinator and a separate QB coach. Scalley will be able to recruit the best LDS players, possibly even better than Whitt.

ProudUte replied to the topic Last post Until Cal Game in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

No Cam, Kuithe, and Jackson and we may win three more games. I do not expect to see Kuithe again as a Ute. I hope Cam and Jackson are back ASAP. Who knows? This whole thing and the games Whitt play is annoying. But, it is what it is and I will be a loyal Ute forever.

ProudUte replied to the topic Kuithe setback? in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Kuithe stayed at Utah when he had NFL opportunities. I wish the best for him regardless if he ever plays for the Utes again. Brant deserves a chance to play in the NFL.

ProudUte replied to the topic New Safety Commit in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Every time we get an LDS, Utah County kid – CB posters go crazy. I took a peek at the CB this morning to see how they responded. Here are a few of their responses.

– Blamed the former D coordinator. Things will change now with Hill.
– Utah will get killed by Oregon, USC, UW, and CU – then he will change his mind.,
– Teenagers are stupid and so…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Perfect time for a bye in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

I agree – the team needs a bye and so do I. 🙂

ProudUte started the topic So what would you do if your were the coach? in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

This is just hypothetical. We all know our offense does not look good and we have numerous key injuries. I would even go as far as – it is the worst offense we have seen in the Whittingham era. (It’s amazing that we are 4-1. It says a lot about our defense.)

So, what would you do if you were coach? Obviously, we do not know everything that…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Our Loss in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

I get that losing to OSU is not bad. However what is bad is five games of pathetic offense. Good thing we have a great D.

ProudUte started the topic I am over Friday's loss but the future concerns me in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Losses happen and we lost to a good OSU team on the road. I have left that game behind me.

However, the future worries me. Our offense is terrible. Heck, we were better when a non-recruited QB named Hayes was leading our depleted offense a decade ago. There is plenty of blame out there and it has been discussed on this board plenty. In the…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic If you didn't see this coming you were blind in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Most pathetic effort by a Ute team since the 2007 debacle at UNLV. I don’t know what to think. I am not sure that the offense can be fixed this year. Would Cam even be able to make a difference?

I will always remain a Ute fan, but this is a sad day in Utah football.

ProudUte replied to the topic OnlyU – Any hints on who can play tonight? in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

He is out tonight.

ProudUte replied to the topic Other injuries tonight in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Ludwig and Whitt have to be creative tonight like Meyer was against AFA in 2003. We did not have a scholarship RB available, so Mey moved TE MOa to that position. We won that game in OT.

We need to do something new and unexpected if we hope to win tonight.

ProudUte replied to the topic Riley says Nate Johnson to start tonight in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Defense should indeed be nasty. But, I am very worried about our RB situation now that we know Jackson cannot go.

ProudUte started the topic Other injuries tonight in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

Jackson, Kuithe, Pittman.

The good news is that O’Toole will play tonight.

Jackson not playing is a big hurt for us.

ProudUte started the topic Riley says Nate Johnson to start tonight in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

No surprise. Hopefully, we have a different offensive game plan than last week. As Scott Mitchell just said, every team is stacking the box to stop the run. Mitchell says we need to make the quick pass and open things up.

Go Nate. I hope you have an amazing game!

ProudUte started the topic OnlyU – Any hints on who can play tonight? in the forum Football 1 year, 1 month ago

I am most interested in Jackson. Of course, I am interested in Cam, but I think I have given up on him playing until at least the Cal game.

Go Utes!
