The Miami Ute

Considering how we complain about the lack of transparency on the hill I am always amazed how people know things “clearly”.
I don’t think it is clear at all what took place over the last month or so.
Truth be told I don’t know a thing about the Lobos season until I looked it over. Everyone told me Bronco was doing ok. I would disagree with th…[Read more]

Pepa and Rose. The rest are just not worth the time honestly.

I think Wilson could be good if he sat a year and ran the scout team.

He can recruit, has connections everywhere. Played HS at Kahuku. IYKYK

Well, I got my wish that if Whitt came back it would be with an overhauled Offensive staff.

Now I wish that I had been more specific and the overhaul wouldn’t be with (3) former players from the parochial school.,,

Staff changes

Would be more good news and cycling out the bad rubbish that has accumulated offensively from Whitt. I am starting to believe Beck will be able to run what he wants.

I agree totally. Sometimes the offense has to take risks because of the lack of confidence in the defense.
Utah had the opposite problem I feel. End of game we saw the defense give up these late touchdowns because of a worn down defense. Eventually an offense can make it through the holes to score. Well except Utah’s offense ironically.

Also people talking about his 1:1 TD INT ratio. Last year was his first with Beck and Koy Detmer Jr. An entire offseason and in the system will be huge. Beck and Koy are very good QB coaches and I expect his passing to be much more effective.

I think there is a lot of upside with him.
Athletic he is very quick laterally and has good vision.
Leader. He has command when he takes the field. Seems to have a purpose and wants to do well.

Going to be a junior. Sophomore to Junior typically is where you see the player get really comfortable. Having Beck be the previous play caller I think…[Read more]

No one on here actually watches his film and what opponents have said.

That is how it works. Nike took a risk on Michael Jordan and it paid off massively. 7 million invested in this kid for whatever reason seems like a short term large investment in a kid that could lead to better things.

Pointing out the hypocrisy is one thing. It just seems like you are jealous Utah can’t do it. Don’t try to make a moral arg…[Read more]

I don’t need to spare you at all. Universities lost the court battle. They should 100% be allowed to sell their image. The current system when it comes to morals is infinitely better than what it was in the past.

The finger wagging moral argument of ending poverty over a kid getting paid also doesn’t matter to me. It is just virtue sig…[Read more]

The facilities also took private donations to pay for those. You are over simplifying my statement to fit your own argument.

Utah has always been very smart with their money. Compared to like Arizona who takes private donations and then overspends the athletic budget. Or California who never took donations but went into the red to pay for…[Read more]

Makes sense. Thanks for the responses.

Yes

I know this is like a popular trend right now I just don’t see the point. We were fine with it 20-30 years ago when the University pocketed the money. What changed? A kid getting the money instead somehow makes it different?

It just feels like virtue signaling at this point.

I will always be fine with a kid getting his bag. I do agree with p…[Read more]

I know you are trying to make a moral point I just wonder why it didn’t exist 20 or 30 years ago when it was the school making the money on the bodies of kids?

A claim to morals in a morally devoid industry never really never resonates for me.

Thanks for the reply but not sure it answers my questions.

To be brief – can players still accept NIL money once they are considered employees of the University?
