If it’s the same Whitt from 2023 and 2024 I’m with you. Can he allow his OC to run the offense? I have my doubts, the image of him looking indignant at Urban Meyer’s/Mike Sanford’s play calling on offense a couple times during 2004 are burned in my mind.

Far too often a would be hall of fame coach hangs on too long and mires in mediocrity.

Return to Colorado
On December 2, 2010, Bieniemy returned to Colorado as offensive coordinator under head coach Jon Embree. Bieniemy was offered the head coach position in 2020 at Colorado but he declined. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Bieniemy

I seem to recall Colorado wasn’t too happy with his time there with Embree, though…[Read more]

Both just saw what Utah’s team used to play like. I watched a bit of the Colorado game, rooting for Colorado. And I kept thinking, this defense doesn’t look right in blue. Reminded me of what Utah used to play like on defense and in bowl games.

Or the easy answer, Deion and Whitt, no longer in their prime.

Ever wonder if you’re crazy? I did when I read about those wanting Wilson back and how he’d fit in Beck’s offense. Rose is a much bigger running threat than Wilson, I’d take Bottari running over Wilson. At this point I almost would take Cam over Wilson, and the door is slammed shut with Cam for me.

Cautiously optimistic Whitt will be more open to…[Read more]

“Where is the dedication? Maintain the same standards you expect from these athletes; your identity as a Ute was earned, not innate.”

Why should fans who pay to watch the athletes be held to the same standard as what we expect from the athletes? We pay they “earn” if you can call it earning. $7 mil for one year of college basketball is grotesq…[Read more]

I’d take Travis over Isaac, all day every day and twice on Sunday.

Baby Giraffe could also run.

This is similar to what happened for me with MLB.

In the early 90s as a Pirates fan it really turned me off when Bonds, Bonilla, Van slyke, Bell, Drabek, Belinda, Smiley, Carlos Garcia, Rafael Belliard, Jose Lind were broken up due to $$$$. That was the end of MLB for me. I attend maybe one or two Rockies games a year. And Sid Bream, you’re dead…[Read more]

One factor I think is being overlooked.

Academics! What do I mean? College football/P4 status means an incredible amount of money is poured into P4 universities.

The academics and research done at many universities, including the University of Utah, experiences an incredible increase in funding. An increased draw for better quality faculty, and…[Read more]

I hope this combined with Rose leaving does not lean toward Rising returning. If Rising holds this team hostage another year, I’m out until he and Whit are gone.

Jen-erally, I wouldn’t do that. But he started it. 😀

I was not in favor of Cam last year. This year if Cam’a back. I will not be till he AND Whitt are gone.

I’d love to see a breakdown of rushing rank those same years. 2008, 2019, 2021, 2022. Moss, Thomas, Bernard, Curry during a couple of those later years. Which year was Joe Williams?

2008 – Asiata, Mack, Wide

I lived in VA from 2002 until 2011. You can take a nap, record the game, get up at 11:30 watch it and skip commercials. I’ve done that many a time. Or just sucked it up and started watching and not getting to bed until the wee hours of the morning.

Since the game will get over after midnight and you’re watching, your penitence is since it’s a…[Read more]
