As one of those ALUFs – as they like to call my kind – I have never once felt awkward about supporting Utah or disliking BYU-Provo Campus. The distinction between belief and school affiliation is very black and white in my mind.

NIL can not be capped any more than Lebron’s endorsements. It is that simple. The previous rules limiting college athlete’s ability to control their name and likeness were deemed illegal by the judicial system.

New rules would have to take some other form- but endorsement money is out of the barn, running around the neighborhood, and isn’t going…[Read more]

I would agree with you but for the fact that I see no legal way for big institutions to put a cap on NIL. I’m not a lawyer, but if the bluebloods tried doing that, it would surely be challenged in court with threats of antitrust, prevention of commerce, etc…arguments. I always thought that, once the genie was ou the bottle, the potential for…[Read more]

My hope for the 2025 season is for Whitt, Jason Beck and Morgan Scalley field the best Utah football team in years, go into LES undefeated (or with 1 loss) and embarrass the hell out of the Big12 prima donas on their home field and show the college football world it doesn’t pay to lie, cheat and steal from your rival or anyone else for that matter.

AMEN! GO UTES!!!

Well said.

What is so disrespectful? “We can’t beat them so let’s make stuff up to make them go away” Your words not mine. My point being wearing garments doesn’t make you a BYU fan. I have many friends that went to the U or grew up in Salt Lake being Utah fans that are LDS. Many on this site. BYU fans mocking LDS fans for going to the U or rooting for the U…[Read more]

I would too. He looks great. Same with Mason.

I’d love to get Naas.

Yep this aligns perfectly with what I’ve heard.

Miller’s agent, although I don’t even know who he is.

Which is a bit baffling. If Andre wants to be a part of Utah basketball- which he was reported to want as recently as last year when Smith was still coach – I find it strange that he’s letting his agent screw that up for him.

Agents rarely…[Read more]

Yes it means someone close to Andre being stubborn with the financial terms.

“Do you root for the school you attended or is in your backyard or based on your under garments? I love our LDS fans and have great respect for them.”

Your first sentence would denote anything but respect for our LDS fans. Geez man.

My pleasure, friend. We are all family here!

I couldn’t care less what BYU is doing. I only care about what Utah is doing.

It really is that simple for me, and I encourage the rest of you folks to adopt that mindset.

It’s OK to talk BYU if it’s before or after we play them, but beyond that I just don’t see the point.

Let them do whatever they want, so what? They wanna try and act like…[Read more]

Squatch,

I agree that it’s been a great run for BYU recently, but that’s about all I can agree with. I honestly don’t know anybody personally that actually thinks making up stuff about BYU will lead the church to freak out and shut it down. That’s some next level, tinfoil hat stuff right there if there’s folks out there that really believe t…[Read more]

The latest intel I’ve heard is that Andre probably won’t be on the staff this year. But if true, he could still join sometime else in the future.

Nobody cared when we weren’t in the same conference and we were winning. Personally I felt vindicated for the past when we joined the pac12 and beat them every year. It’s an unhealthy rivalry because of religion. Growing up in Salt Lake as a non- Mormon i witnessed bigotry from BOTH sides.

It sometimes puts Ute LDS fans in an awkward pos…[Read more]

It’s Andre’s agent. He botched this negotiation to hell and back. He has overplayed his hand not negotiated in good faith and Andre has just sort of sat back and let him do it.

It’s rubbed some people at Utah the wrong way for obvious reasons it’s also shown Andre may not have wanted the job as bad as people thought he did.

I suspect the lack of other prospects drove that decision. While he was put in a tough spot, his failure to progress as the season wore on was pretty glaring.

I’m hopeful that Beck’s more straightforward offense will allow all of the QBs (Wilson included) to process a bit more quickly, and generally be more decisive.
