The Miami Ute

Most childish thing is bitching about conversations had among fans on a board. It’s like your analogy of kids whining about bed time. So you engage in this whining saying well bed time is what you need and here are the reasons why.

Nope just ignore it and put it to bed by ignoring it.

Whittingham said this has been the most frustrating season of his career, but he’s most proud of the high-character players on the roster who make it easier as they each work to get through this tough season.

Lifewise, yes. But they had to sub Shelley, and then Lisk, in when they wanted to run RPO in 2019. That should have been the clearest indicator necessary that Ludwig was going to tip off his play calls based on personnel but it’s not really germane to this thread.

I believe the 5 yard rule you are referring is only in the NFL

Agreed but you look at other programs in Utah’s realm and it doesn’t seem as bad anywhere else.

He still left relatively healthy is all I am saying.

I’m sure Tony will text him after seeing this just now.

two things can be true at the same time:

1. Receivers use their hands and bodies to separate themselves from defenders who are at the same time using their hands and bodies to keep the receivers close (happens all the time)
2. Defensive holding is not a common call

If you are really interested in how hard a call that is to make, here are a…[Read more]

When the Devil finished, Johnny said
“You know, you’re pretty good ol’ son
But you just flop down in that chair right there
I’m gon’ show you how this stuff’s done”

Yeah. We need Johnny. Now. “I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I’m the best there’s ever been.”

Yeah it was a bad deal.

ProudUte hasn’t been around the last couple of weeks. Not sure if it’s because he’s run out of things to put a positive spin on or this reality check of a season has him sitting in his living room fort until the horror finally ends.

And in your scenario, the call would have been PI not holding.

If it had affected the play, the ball would have landed incomplete and the call would have been pass interference. I don’t know why this is so hard. You are assuming an outcome for the play that didn’t happen.

I don’t know the play call any more than you do so I’m just interpreting what I see from your clip. Tell me if you think it is…[Read more]

Nicko is a stud.

Ted? What’s really the goal with carrying this conversation on?

This is what I’m talking about when I say that I’m okay with playing BYU the team but hate everything else about the rivalry. If that game was against Oregon, Washington or any team not named BYU we’d have our 24 hour pity party and already have moved on to next week. Maybe…[Read more]

It is far from objective analysis. Comparing defensive PI to holding isn’t exactly apples to apples imo.

Big12 absolutely has been neglecting Defensive PI all season. Arizona game was probably the most egregious game.

Holding has a pretty clear definition on how it is called.

From a fan perspective I don’t trust the officials Utah has had to…[Read more]

That’s not really what I said but if you equate “we won’t know what accountability measures are taken” with “no accountability”, I can’t prove otherwise.

It’s enough that we’re evenly split on the call. Let’s not do alternate reality timelines on what everything thinks would have happened if a certain call had been different. Take the win and move on
