All I’m saying is that he was clearly a leader. Hell he didn’t even go to half the games last year. It was his 2nd year of having hardly played at all and you expect him to still be invested?

I’m not worshiping the guy, but he deserves his due. He broke a lot of barriers at Utah that most QB’s haven’t been able to do (earn Whit’s trust for…[Read more]

What you’re saying is just not true. You tell me to grow up and you’re over here spreading baseless rumors like a 16 year old girl in the back of class.

Cam never once lost the locker room. If the culture dipped, it’s on Whitt – not Cam.

I’m most curious to hear commentary about the WR room, the RBs behind Parker, the defensive line, and the depth in our secondary.

You can disagree w/out being a complete jerk.

I will never understand how some Utah fans have such a hate-boner for Rising. Without Rising, Utah has zero Pac-12 titles, no Rose Bowl appearance and Whittingham is probably long gone with how that 2021 season was shaping out. He literally stepped in and elevated Utah football unlike any other quarterback sans two: Alex Smith and Brian Johnson.…[Read more]

Huh? I was legitimately curious about this. I tried hard to get to the bottom of it without insulting anybody’s religion.

If I said something inflammatory without noticing it, please point it out to me. That was not my intent.

Seems like you very much want to discuss politics and religion

So he was supposed to look depressed and mournful the entire time? Give the kid a break. Anyone with eyes could see he was a leader.

Google utah utes football 2 deep and you should find an OurLads list of 2 deep. I think it is pretty spot on for the start of Fall camp, with any changes to come at the end of camp.

I love Rising for what he did those two years. He seemed like an incredible leader and an awesome team player those two years. I try to remember him for leading us to two of the most memorable and successful seasons we’ve ever had.

In my opinion, the injuries were the biggest problem. If those had never happened, I think he probably would’ve…[Read more]

FWIW, I do think it’s important for Utah to focus “development” efforts on certain position groups, while avoiding others.

We are good at developing offensive lineman, running backs, and players on defense. That’s where I think Utah should focus most of its high school recruiting resources. If you’re going to spend time growing players, grow…[Read more]

Fair enough. I appreciate the input

I agree w/ a lot of the underlying points you’re both making, but I still think development of high school recruits (many of which will end up being 3-stars for Utah) is an important, if not essential, part of building a good team.

Important players we developed as 3-stars out of high school on last year’s team: Micah Bernard, Johnathan Hall, Tao…[Read more]

It was senior night for Ty Jordan and A Lowe. Leadership committee could have requested the team wear it because of that? I don’t know. I do know that it’s not team issued gear

Point taken–I did not know that the FCA at Utah operated like that. Neglect my second point.

Still, I’m not convinced. I just do not think that a game-day uniform would ever include non-team issue gear. If not everybody has it, it won’t work as a game day uniform. If everybody has it, it’s team issue.

Are you disagreeing that they coordinate…[Read more]

Yes, it’s from the Utah chapter of the FCA. They hold their ‘huddle’ at capitol church and all religions participate. Including Scalley Plenty of other athletes wear the same hoodie. Brynna Maxwell, Jenna Johnson, maile okeefe

And for someone who wanted to leave religion out of it, sure seems like you want to judge their choices.

I was not in favor of Rising coming back last year. And IMO Rising’s poor decision to hold onto the ball way too close to the sideline hoping to make a miracle play is just as much the reason for his injury as the latish hit. He has always been a gambler, and he went all in on one play and lost. Not monetarily he robbed the Utah casino house b…[Read more]

I’ve been saying since Utah got in to the Pac-12 that it’s unbelievable that Utah is the only school that brings in WR’s and they ALL underperform. All you have to do is look at a school like WSU where they routinely bring in high 2*, low 3 *’s and they become all conference. It’s not the skill level of the player, it’s how you utilize them.…[Read more]
