22Ute22

I’ll keep track of the score and watch in case it’s close, but I won’t be watching any of the games all the way through. Maybe I’ll have it on in the background.

So why cancel USC/UCLA? Both of those schools offer a better college environment than U of A, have more NIL money, and they play in the B1G. Utah makes a bit of sense since we offer basically guaranteed playing time and we have his position coach from WSU.

Haha yeah, I saw his stats about 4-5 games into the season and noticed that he was on track to match his 2023 total. The fact that he actually did is absolutely hilarious though.

Do we need OT’s though? I feel like RG and C are bigger needs.

Pretty sure Alabama had a bad secondary this past season.

Agreed. I’d definitely welcome him back if I were whitt and our collective, but only at the NIL he was originally given. If he wants more or else he’s gone, then let him leave.

I really don’t think Harding as bad. Fano and Lomu are good. Togiai is solid. Center and RG were tough with Mokofisi and Kump, who need to be replaced if possible. It also sucks that our entire offense (players and coaches) was inept except for Singer, Bernard, and Kuithe. He hasn’t done anything to warrant being fired, but he should really try…[Read more]

I’ve also seen Wilson step right into a sack…

He definitely should not have played a single game last season.

The problem with Rose is that, I’m assuming, he will most likely not be wanted back by Beck. He’s not a dual threat QB. Yes, he can occasionally run when needed, but he’s not a running threat like Dampier or 2021-2022 Rising. Wilson is probably the only QB Beck would welcome back, but I doubt the team wants him back.

I doubt we’d get them, but I’d like to see Utah offer Florida CB Ja’keem Jackson and TE Arlis Bordingham, since both were in RES in 2023, and both are positions of need.

Well, it makes sense. This year was supposed to be our year. The entire 5 projected WR targets at the start of the year (Singer, Alford, McClain, Pittman, and Parks) are all gone. Even considering TE’s, Kuithe, Bentley, Lohner, Ryan, and Miki are gone. The WR and TE room is completely devoid of proven talent.

Wow, I didn’t realize that Whitted and Ganther were fired. Was there an announcement on this?

Whatever the case, I hope this is a sign that Whitt is letting the Beck have full (or almost full) authority of the offense.

You have to be dense to ask what changed. Why on earth would I see any of the players an anything but mercenaries who can be poached by richer programs after every season? Utah and other non-wealthy programs have to develop these players, only for them to be bought for more money. Why would I see us as anything but a feeder program? I’m done w…[Read more]

Uh, what? 2021 and 2022 were great years for rising. It’s just that 2022 the numbers were more spread out. 2021 was Tavion Thomas’ great year.

Lmao that would be terrible advice. Better payday after having a torn ACL and not having played in over 2 years? Wait, where have I heard that one before?

But seriously, he’s not getting a better payday. My guess is that Utah will hit the portal hard for RB’s.

In retrospect, our defense was pretty dang good this season. Probably not as good as last season, but still up to par to the defenses. Offense was just terrible.

And Arnold played much more talented competition.

What talent advantage did Arnold and Oklahoma have against SEC teams?

Yup, I said this since the beginning of NIL and the announcement of USC/UCLA leaving the pac 12. For the last 15 years, I’ve spent all day Saturday watching CFB from 9am-10pm. But I’ve spent 3 Saturdays this years not watching any CFB live, and only watching some highlights. I simply do not care that much anymore. NIL and the P2 has killed mos…[Read more]
