Nobody is arguing they shouldn’t be able to do what they want with their money. Again, it’s a bad look whether it’s BYU or one of their boosters paying big money for a player of any sport. Because as an outsider looking in at the faith you’re going to be cynical. Regardless if the institution is putting up the money or not, there’s a…[Read more]

The more teams are composed of merc transfers and kids who see play time linked to NIL $ the more this will be true for us and every other team. This is already upon us and is only going to get worse. I don’t see many teams maintaining identity and chemistry for more than rare random years going forward. Not just a Ute issue but because we were…[Read more]

It’s a valid concern.

However, if there are several uber wealthy LDS families that are bankrolling this, then that’s their choice. I would get your argument it if it were the institution of BYU or the LDS church using tithing money or something. But that’s not the case here. You have several LDS families who have probably already paid millions in…[Read more]

Happens at the pro level all the time. A slow leak of discontentment at first but then as the losses and lack of targets, production etc add up, it turns into a full blown sinking ship.

And please don’t throw items at opposing fans.

I’m for whoever is the best QB available next year. If that is Cam, I am for Cam. This team needs a viable QB2, and it needs an offense that can work for a quarterback who has not been in the system and/or sitting in the booth with the OC for years. I am mostly worried about our O-line and RB rooms.

In 2018 the season ticket holders sold their 4 tickets right in front of my 4 season tickets to a BYU family for the Utah BYU game. They were up 20-0 at halftime. They never sat down the whole first half and were really obnoxious.

We came back the second half and when we took the lead their son who was around 14 threw his half full water bottle…[Read more]

I think anyone who sells tickets to a BYU fan (or frankly, someone who isn’t a confirmed Utah fan) is a disgrace. Could you imagine a Michigan fan selling their ticket to an OSU fan during a season they’re undefeated and have playoff aspirations? You should lose your fan card.

The only snowball’s chance in hell they have of pulling a miracle…[Read more]

2021-2022 Cam isn’t walking out on the playing field again. Cam’s mobility and run game, a big part of his play, is gone. This was before his latest knee injury.

What is left is a field general that would have to win back his troops, smart but weak armed immobile QB.

Thanks Cam for giving us your everything. It’s best we all move on. Whitt won’t…[Read more]

But he can guarantee it.

I think the defense really went in its current direction under John Pease, and Scalley has more or less stuck with the general philosophy. Scalley blitzes a bit more that Pease did, but not overwhelmingly so. Getting pressure with just the front 4 is the goal, but that only works if the front 4 are able to consistently beat the opposing line.…[Read more]

You don’t think going from a top-10-ranked team to four straight losses against bad teams and a mess at quarterback would cause any division and internal issues?

This isn’t that complicated. Anyone that has missed 2 years has to compete for a roll on game day. Absolutely we do everything possible to have as many options and the best possible options in the QB room. If Cam wants to be one of the 4 great options and compete for playing time, so be it. As for NIL, he is already ahead of delivering value,…[Read more]

I wouldn’t forget and would gladly take the downvotes for it. At this point, bringing back Rising is like going all in every hand when you are losing at the poker table. At best you’re hoping to break even with one good result so that you can pretend all the losing hands before didn’t happen.

here’s the funny/sad part. IF Cam were to come back…and did somehow become healthy and lead our team to a 10 win season or better next year. Almost everyone here would forget everything we said this year and jump right back on the Cam Train. Hope springs eternal. I’m not nearly hypocritical enough to exempt myself from this.

I’m just saying…[Read more]

I’ve got to think that there are some WR’s complaining about # of targets too.

I can guarantee none of that is true there is literally zero division in the locker room anyone that claims otherwise has no idea what they’re talking about.. There may be a player or two bitching about playing time but there’s a reason they’re not playing..

I’m LDS (not always a good one however) and I think you are spot on correct here.

Byu supporters are trying to justify their NIL as a way to promote Byu and hence the church. Well I can think of 50,000 better ways to do just that.

It’s pure arrogance. Or, to use another word that resonates with church members, “pride”. Paying millions of…[Read more]
