Fair enough. I agree it’s not appropriate however stating off field issues lead to speculation that may or may not be true. That’s been a Whitt problem for years with injuries.

Yup. We give it to cancer patients as a lot of the chemo drugs will decrease appetite. It also helps with nausea and vomiting due to those chemo meds. We prescribe a drug called Marinol…which is essentially “man made cannabis.”

I personally have no issue with either recreational marijuana and medical marijuana. As with everything on the marke…[Read more]

Maybe everyone on here is totally happy to share perspectives on hot button political topics through the misc. category. I’m not speaking for everyone else on the website and I’m not the administrator. I’m just saying that for me personally, I don’t come onto this website for that. I just want to come on here to interact w/ a community of Utah…[Read more]

tbf, he posted this under a category that would permit this sort of discussion. Just sayin’

I don’t think it is appropriate for me to post something on a fan board about the specifics. I will leave it at that.

One of our former position coaches now at LSU, Bill Busch, was on local radio a couple weeks ago and was talking about QB’s and “processing.” He said it’s the most important skill of a QB and described it as being to see what’s happening in live action and making a quick, correct decision, and executing it. He also said, you either have it or you…[Read more]

I’m not an expert on this subject, and I don’t even disagree w/ you. But is this a political forum now or a place for fans of college athletics?

This article from Johns Hopkins takes into account both sides of the issue:

The Evidence—and Lack Thereof—About Cannabis

Some summary points:

1. Does cannabis have viable medicinal uses?

The evidence is mixed at this point. There hasn’t been a lot of funding going into testing cannabis in a rigorous way. There is more evidence for certa…[Read more]

This is a good idea. Lud or whoever was in control, did not utilize Nate to his strengths. Beck’s system is a much better fit.

Nate may be willing to come back in a backup QB role given his situation. And we need 3 backup QBs if I’m not mistaken.

It may be hard to gain that insight directly, however, if coaches let a key guy go without effort to retain them I begin to believe the coaches also see value in the change. The future QB leaving should leave signs that the coaches tried to retain the player. Because coaches don’t want to be know as someone to make negative aspects of a player…[Read more]

I have an uncle that has been a bishop multiple times, he uses it for his horrible back and it helps him big time. There has never been any question of his worthiness to hold church callings or anything of the sort

My opinion rant: Medical marijuana is perfectly fine. Legalization of recreational marijuana is a bad idea. Why is recreatinal…[Read more]

Proud Ute I’ve heard so many comments about off the field issues not pertaining to the locker room. Interested to know what those issues were. Thanks in advance.

I’d rather have Nate Johnson back. He fits Becks system better.

Rising got beat out by Brewer and instead of transferring and causing locker room drama it lit a fire under him. Give me a leader that wants to prove to himself his coaches and teammates that he can be the man and earn respect. Sometimes a piece of humble pie can make you a better leader and person.

His off-the-field actions were more than just the locker room. I still believe he is a talented player. However, there is some baggage that I would not want if I was the coach.

Two weeks ago, I wanted him to stay. Now, I think it is better for Utah and Isaac if he moves on.

I wish him the best.

IW was part of the problem. Not part of the solution. When I heard that the Ute’s hired a TDS guy to run the offense, I was less than thrilled but the guy has a clean slate to work with and why bring back someone who helped poison the well in the first place. I’m more willing to give Beck a chance to right “our” ship than Wilson being the deliverer.

He is what 18years old? It sounds like he acted immaturely which is fairly common for a young man. If he can learn from this and come back with a good attitude- that would be a win.

The team needs both quality and quantity in the QB room. The arm talent/running ability that made him an elite prospect are still there and the experience he gained…[Read more]

I don’t see the upside to him unless he can pack on 15 to 20 lbs of muscle and run the ball more. I think he’s too little and timid, otherwise.

I’d welcome him back so long as there are no expectations that he’s the starter or even back up. He’d have to earn it himself.
