The Miami Ute

It’s all I have left. I can’t even use my Mr Bojangles (Mr Bojakian) song I wrote!

It’s a fantasy. 😞

“game center” 😂

True. But Utah offense needs the defense to pitch a shutout or at most 7 points. So it isn’t typical.

In my 41 years on this planet I have worked for the majority of them. I have worked in all sorts of situations and while they are not D1 college football nothing can upset a staff more than people stepping out of their lane to work on others p…[Read more]

Been a minute @Utahute72. Nice to see you posting in these trying times.

Not with Rising or Huntley. Rose was the scout team qb and looked on highly favorably by teammates and fans. Rising made his fame on the scout team I think as well but coaches went with Brewer.

Scout teams are running plays that the defense can expect to as well? Sounds like a horrible way to evaluate a QB.

I would say if you are not the coach evaluating the QB room you probably don’t know anything about it.

I would hope the Defensive coaches would be focused on Barton’s deficiencies. I would say the cause of those points were because of his breakdowns.

Seems like a wild what if.

On the surface we want to blame lack of talent and experience yada yada. Lot of surface level problems.

Problems right now are pretty deep. Coaching is definitely being called into question. Player relationships. Team cohesiveness.

Plugging in Cam Rising in his prime wouldn’t solve the problems that are on the team.

Imagine being on defense. Holding teams to 14 and knowing it’s not enough because the offense is averaging 12. I’d want a spark as well

Every year the scout team qb is beloved. Rose was very popular when Rising was running things. I am assuming it is that as well but the way this first paragraph started out it seems contradictory.

He told me that some of the D coaches love Sam Huard. That the D and the O could not be more different. They are basically separated and do their own thing.

This is confusing to me. Help me to understand what you mean here? Why would the D coaches offer an opinion on something they are seemingly uninvolved with?

Tuttle may have actually been the canary in the coal mine. He was on the leadership council and the rumor, never confirmed that I know of, was that he left because he saw players being held to different standards as far as behavior. He left the team so early in the season and I just never bought the excuse that it was because he wanted to play…[Read more]

My man!

Yeah. This is Palpatine level chaos of a season.

I’m sure he feels like a lot of that were fed bullshit about Cam and injuries in general. Even guys like him really connected to the program didn’t know week to week. So I don’t blame him for maybe taking a break from it all. Whitt doesn’t realize the psychological exhaustion his pointless games have had on the fan base and players.

“Help us, Only-U Kenobi. You’re our only hope.”

Now we know how it’s felt to be ya’ll for the last 15 years. It definitely sucks.

ALL IN OR IN THE WAY doesn’t work with mercenaries. Maybe you can have that attitude when a kid who commits either spends 5 years doing it your way or calls it a career. But if you are changing out 25-33% of your team yearly in the portal, you’d better be able to manage their expectations instead of just your own

Appreciate your thoughts. I’d say even more than NIL a lot of people struggle with the transfer portal. Or at least the unlimited amount you can bounce around. Utah benefits more than it hurts us in regards to the portal so I’m not criticizing it in general. I just wish they would cap the amount of times.
