What’s up with Zach Keller? Quietly got 8 points, 3-3, and 2-2 from 3pt range. He’s a local kid and I think he has potential, was Smith just not the right coach for him? Or is he just getting lucky?

If he sticks around I think AJ can make something out of him.

My two cents on politics.

If I had the same experiences as you, I’d probably think like you do. Maybe I do.

Does anyone really believe the vitriol of politics won’t spread to other topics on the board. If someone takes issue with your political views they may start a witch-hunt on all your posts. I think that happened on the other Ute board. I believe it will also happen here if politics is allowed.

I come for sports, but I’d leave if politics bleed into the sports categories. NIL, transfer portal, BigXII, etc. have already put me on the ledge.

The Whitt commentary is already divisive enough. Can we really handle throwing the jet fuel of politics on here? I say no.

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.

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 apparently they offered him the job. Would he take it this time?

His Chiefs stint was good, but would his Commanders and UCLA performance be enough?

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 increased offense. Risk equals bigger upside reward. No risk keeps the other team in the game way too long.

Whitt’s past allowed offenses might result in three things, two of them not ideal.
1. The offense can’t score enough points, nor sustain drives long enough to give the defense rest. (2024)
2. The offense scores just enough to be in a position to win, however allows other teams to stay in the game. (2023)
3. The offense scores just enough and the defense steps up and covers the deficit. (UCF)

“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 grotesque. I the consumer go where I can buy value. Why should we be forced to buy what they are selling? If it is about money they likely don’t need mine cause I am not getting the value I pay. Tickets, hotels, gas, merchandise. The price is exceeding my demand. Basic economics.
