The OP of this thread, “Taylor Mangina” is a zoob troll. Here is his first posting on UteHub; he’s a real piece of work:

They call me TCuz

He also goes by TCuz in cougarboard. The guy is a complete loser. Some of his postings there are just despicable. For example, he’s posted that the U is “pro-cancer” and “pro-terrorism”. Another posting…[Read more]

The rumors also say Troy Taylor said what most of us do, by year game 3 you’ll be running Whitt’s offense, not yours.

FIFY

Keep in mind Kenan Johnson started over Calhoun when healthy and he is coming back. Rabbit Evans is another awesome replacement. Tanavasa and Pepa were good for the DT group, however, Utah always seems to have an embarrassment of riches at this position.

Onlyu…any smoke to the rumors of Snowden getting big offers and potentially pulling a KT?

I mean…yes? We know the OC issues are 100% Whitt related.

That being said, it sound like Whitt has picked an OC that actually fits what he wants to do:

Run the QB, run the ball, big strong backs who can wear down the opposing defense and protect his defense.

I think Beck, while not the biggest name, is a great fit for what Whitt wants to do.

The people on this board think we’re the least attractive, poorest school in college football for some reason. Usually I’m the one calling out homers but the default rhetoric here is extremely doomer. The fact of the matter is that almost all schools look damn close to what we do and not many offer more to a recruit whose rating isn’t reflecting…[Read more]

Oh I didn’t mean to indicate that was a cougarboard rumor or whatever. Like you, I heard it from Utah people. And on the “juiciness” scale that particular rumor is pretty low. Of course Whitt’s presence makes OCs wary, the fans aren’t the only ones who can see the pattern, it’s not rocket science. And you know these guys talk. The rumors also say…[Read more]

Merry Christmas

The NBA works great with rookies. You invest a high round draft pick and you get them for at least 3 years. Not so in college football. You can break your back recruiting a kid from his sophomore year, get him on campus, and still lose him. What a waste of time and energy.

Nah, we are screwed. There is something rotten in the state of our athletic department and football program. We are in some deep deep shit.

I recommend you accept the changes in CFB. Does it kinda suck? Yes. But this is the new reality and continuing to hate on players for leaving for more money isn’t helpful. I mean would you leave your job if another company offered you substantially more?

I hate it, but it’s reality. You’d be better off direction your bitterness at TV execs,…[Read more]

We still have the resources where we can compete and make the playoff. Our upward trajectory has stalled but there’s no reason to think we’ll never have elite seasons again. Hopefully we can make the B1G someday in the future.

Just remember, the portal goes both ways. Yes we lost some talent, nut there is plenty of talent from other schools that are transferring too.

The portal takes and it gives. If you only focus on it’s takes, you’ll be miserable.

Also it’s the new normal and we’ll lose people every season. And so will every team. So don’t lose any sleep over it.

Something easier on the body and mind, like pulling your own fingernails out with pliers?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! Here’s to a surprisingly good coming year in U athletics!!
Go Utes!

Don’t we want Whitt gone too? Hopefully the rumors are true 🙏🏽.

Truthfully at this point I don’t want him gone, but definitely wish he was before our OC search

The NBA salary cap keeps the league sort of competitive. How many of the past 20 years have you felt that the Jazz were competitive?

There is no way to regulate endorsement money and no sane person would take a long position on the Jazz over the Lakers.

The salary cap does help though- no doubt. A similar structure would give Utah football a…[Read more]

CU has clearly realized a big gain recently in the football landscape, however, there is no reason to believe this gain will persist longer than Sanders and there is no reason to believe he will remain in Colorado much beyond his sons eligibility. ASU has achieved AAU status but in the academic world there is a pecking order even at this level and…[Read more]

people get funny about things. This entire NIL PORTAL Circus is new to the kids. They are not yet pros in their own minds. They were recruited to colleges with the old “Tradition, loyalty, whatever” pitch. So some of this is ingrained. At least for now.

They are saying what 100 years of tradition has told them they should say. But it’ll…[Read more]
