RUUTES

I like ISU. I hope they win the conference. I have no reason to think we are going to get in the way this week.

what I notice most is the energy and interaction with the team from these new QBs. Rose wasn’t just amped, he also shared it with his team mates. He was fully engaged with his teammates and trying to energize them. That’s what you need in a QB.

Wilson seems to stand off alone a lot. I don’t see him celebrating or collaborating with his…[Read more]

Whoever it is it really needs to be someone from the outside. One thing I think has bit is in the butt too many times is the insular keep it in the family thing KW has going on. I’m all for loyalty but we need someone who isn’t home grown. The single greatest get we’ve ever had that transformed our entire program was Urban Meyer. We are…[Read more]

Cam and Brant were both studs. Amazing talents. But yes if 2022 had been the end I think our focus on rebuilding would have been dramatically more effective.

I have hated the late night games but if it were at 8:30 then when I give up all hope by halftime I could go to sleep.

As it is now I’ll have to watch the entire thing.

I have mixed feelings about this.

The only positive is there are only 2 games left. I’d be even more positive if it were just over at this point.

IW is not our worst qb of all time. He’s probably our youngest rawest True freshman we’ve been starting of all time though.

same reason we haven’t been using Ryan more…cuz…things and stuff.

Really it’s pointless to point to one position or person because it’s clear we’re in complete meltdown on Offense.

We don’t have the O designed around anyone, we don’t leverage our players effectively, and we have no identity. Singer and Bernard are playing for all they are…[Read more]

O-line is not getting it done but even when it does we don’t have a QB with field awareness. He’s a freshman still looking like a freshman. Maybe next year he’ll be better but right now every time they give him 5 seconds he is looking for 7 and that makes any Oline look bad.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of scumbags

getting to the rose bowl and losing? definitely a bad deal.

My CFB viewing has been on a fairly steady decline for the last 5 years. I managed to watch about 1/2 of the TT ISU game and that was it yesterday. I remember 10-15 years ago I began watching Gameday and stayed planted till the late night ESPN game. I could watch 12 hours of FB and not blink. Now I get ADD by half time on almost any game and…[Read more]

The more teams are composed of merc transfers and kids who see play time linked to NIL $ the more this will be true for us and every other team. This is already upon us and is only going to get worse. I don’t see many teams maintaining identity and chemistry for more than rare random years going forward. Not just a Ute issue but because we were…[Read more]

here’s the funny/sad part. IF Cam were to come back…and did somehow become healthy and lead our team to a 10 win season or better next year. Almost everyone here would forget everything we said this year and jump right back on the Cam Train. Hope springs eternal. I’m not nearly hypocritical enough to exempt myself from this.

I’m just saying…[Read more]

I still appreciate what Cam did for us 2 and 3 years ago.

That being said, the last two years were probably enough. I mean if he were 100% AND was here playing for the love of the game (and not a big NIL payday) so his focus was on LEADING the team then that would be a thing.

But that doesn’t appear to be reality. So no. It’s an interesting…[Read more]

NIL and the transfer portal combined with the absurd conference realignments have killed the joy of this for many. Honestly, I’m at the point where I think we are (over)due for college sports to be cut out of the University system. We don’t have student athletes like before…there were always issues, but now they are fully exposed and blown up…[Read more]

agreed there are deep issues. But like the Houston game…that would have shifted with even a minor nudge. Thinking we might have survived the ASU or TCU games isn’t a stretch.

Doesn’t mean we’d be a good team. Only that our D and a tiny bit more O would have shifted the outcomes of those two games. That being said…we are clearly suffering…[Read more]

I think a second strong RB nets us 1-2 more games.

Can’t help but remember the movie Draft Day.

To be fair, the HC is the common denominator for whatever happens on every team…and every HC can be seen has being the source of every issue if they are around long enough. Seems like the only way to avoid being the common denominator would be to leave halfway through the season.

None of which is a defense of Kyle’s decisions about Cam this…[Read more]
