ProudUte replied to the topic Barnes leading the QB2 battle in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

I do not like this at all. I think we have seen what Barnes can do and it’s not enough IMO. I am frustrated that we cannot develop an incoming freshman QB. We have only had one QB in the last decade who came in here as a freshman who became a regular starter – Huntley. We have had a bunch of guys bail on the program.

I think what we read in…[Read more]

Thanks, Tony for all you do!!!

ProudUte started the topic Guys that I am looking forward to see. in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

I know what Kuither, Rising, Vele, Bishop, Tafuna, etc. have done and can do. I am really looking forward to seeing the progress and development of these players.

Yassmin – He had some great runs after catches last year. I look forward to seeing him in the open field.

Pepa – I am a big Papa fan. He saw limited action last season in part…[Read more]

We have become a top academic school in spite of what one group on social media suggests.

ProudUte replied to the topic Utes at #14 in coaches poll in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

Seems about right to me. I am not sure that USC has the defense to be number 6 but we will soon see.

I saw that same video when Texas was invited to the SEC. TAMU was the same guy as the BYU guy i this video.

ProudUte replied to the topic Any update on Bridges? in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

It sounds like Bridges has a lot of potential based off this from 2019:

About: Bridges is considered one of the best wideouts in the year’s class, rated as the No. 4 WR in the country, according to Rivals.com. He’s rated as the No. 17 best player in the country and No. 3 in the state of Texas. He received offers from Alabama, Arkansas and Bay…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic well, the reaction of TSPP fans has been better than I could have hoped in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

I agree they love to make excuses. But, the Honor Code certainly affects their recruiting. But, they have no excuses when it comes to LDS recruits.

Below is a nice article about Bishop and the other safeties. Bishop was a great get for us two years ago. I look for him to have a great season.

ProudUte started the topic Now realignment is over – can we talk about something more important? in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

FOOTBALL
The first week of camp ended yesterday. Has anyone heard any updates? The local sport I watched was focussed on the Big 12. I want to hear about football. 🙂

ProudUte started the topic I feel bad for Stanford, Cal, OSU, and WSU in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 3 months ago

I am very happy that we landed on our feet in a P? conference. However, I think the outcome of all this realignment is grossly unfair to the four remaining PAC teams. They deserve better than this IMO. That being said – the board of regents from California, Oregon, and Washington must shoulder some of the blame. They allowed UCLA, Oregon, and…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic What will our 2024 non conference scheduled look like? in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

We have BYU and Baylor already on the schedule. You would assume that this will all get reworked, leaving us two open dates. Which schools will have openings? Harlan had better get to work on this quickly. I think there is a possibility that they keep the Baylor game and count it as a non-conference game. I have seen this kind of thing in…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic I've changed my mind about joining our rival in the Big 12 in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

I am not so sure that our recruiting will take a big hit.
First – Texas is a hotbed of high school football players. We already do well in recruiting Texas. Being in the Big 12 should improve that.
Second – The P2 as you call it can only give out so many scholarships. These teams already get most of the five star guys. I am not so sure we will…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic I have never seen any fan base collectively try as hard for anything in the forum They So Poo Poo 1 year, 3 months ago

A couple of interesting things coming from the CB.

1. Utah enters the conference as the most hated team in the Big 12. (Just because you guys hate Utah, doesn’t mean everyone hates Utah. Ask anyone in the MWC in 2009 or the WAC in 1999 – who the most hated team in the conference was. You all know the answer)

2. The Utes were the 16th team…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Bet in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

Yeah, I see many BYU fans asking on social media, “Now, what happens to the Rose Bow?” They seem to be current on the state of college football. 🙂

ProudUte started the topic I am not going to gloat in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

I am happy we landed on our feet. I am not going to call out BYU fans or any other school for that matter. It is also stupid to suggest that we will automatically become the champions in football. Those Utah fans on Twitter who are getting into pissing contests with BYU – let it go. We look petty when we do that.
I liked the PAC12 and wish it…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic I hope we didn't wait too long in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 3 months ago

I have stayed out of the conference realignment discussion, for the most part, just waiting to see where we would land. I was confident we would land in a good place. But, now things have blown up. I hope our administration has played the right cards and didn’t wait too long in responding to the Big12.
What do I know? Rumors have been rampant…[Read more]

Ganther talks about all of the drama last season, Bernard goping to the portal and coming back, his expectations and the incoming freshmen.
My favorite quote,”I don’t want the best back, I don’t want the best group in the conference, I want the best group in the country. That’s what I’m striving for.”

ProudUte started the topic I have recently re-watched most of last season's games in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago

This is an advantage of being retired. Here are a few of my perceptions after watching the game for a second time. When you know the outcome of the game – you watch for different things.
– Someone on here posted a while back that Jackson was not good after contact. I would ask, what games did you watch? He was a beast after contact and broke…[Read more]
