Man, that is tempting. I’m going to talk to my wife about it. But if somebody else wants them don’t wait on me.

I’m not a doctor, but this makes sense to me, (found it online, so it must be true):

“It is possible for an athlete to gain so much muscle mass that the torque generated by those muscles exceeds the capacity of their tendons to handle, potentially leading to tendon injuries, especially if muscle growth outpaces the adaptation of the tendons to…[Read more]

Dang can’t believe I forgot snoop, you’re right

Thanks for clarifying. The wheelchair comment along with the stop the game struck me wrong. I know you mean well. I too think Cam took his last snap as a Ute. It looked like a knee injury the way he bent. Right knee this time.I think honoring him before the Iowa state game on senior night is enough. I’m sure he hates the focus being on him. I t…[Read more]

Thanks for letting me know Jim. Sounds more like a difference of opinion than that I said anything really bad.

I guess I’d like to see Rising’s last play be something other than not being able to avoid the rush and getting bent over in the 4th quarter at ASU. So even just a ceremonial goodbye where we could all express how much he’s meant to…[Read more]

Not sure if you spend any time at 247 but the UteZone writers are openly mocking Whitt’s injury news policy in damn near every article I read. Those guys (and gals) are almost as big of homers for Utah football as the DNews is for the parochial school so it’s not just us on here who are saying enough’s enough.

I doubt Whitt would do it but I’m seeing a parallel to what Harbaugh went through around 2020 at Michigan. He was underperforming expectations and close to being fired. The hammer came down and he kept his job under condition that he take a pay cut (I believe it was incentive laden but could be wrong) and overhaul his staff.
2021 he not only…[Read more]

Yeah, the “Ludwig’s offense is too complex” theory seems to have been borne from comments Whitt has made. We hear so often about individual players that they don’t know the playbook so that’s why they aren’t playing.

I think the reason Rising is able to run it so well is the time he was afforded in 2019 when he got to sit in the booth during…[Read more]

For a competitor and ultimate team player to go out 1st play second quarter take a knee cost your team a down and stop the game so we can glorify him on senior night. It’s a low blow to think he would ever agree to that. Can you imagine Whitt letting that happen?

It’s unfortunate, but I heard similar things in the WR group. Young guys frustrated they are not on the field and guys like MP getting time over them….Seems like the culture this year has been a bit more loose than previous years. The QB situation, losing etc definitely hasn’t helped.

Thanks for clarifying – that makes more sense.

I saw a post earlier today with the theory that plays will be made, and that the quality of player on the field just changes the distribution of those plays. While there may be some truth to that, the drop-off between the plays made by a top-player and a mid-player isn’t linear. Looking at CPIII’s…[Read more]

If I’ve truly said something offensive but don’t know what it was, how will I learn?

Me too.

I mean, anything is possible in this day and age with unlimited transfers and bags of cash. I haven’t heard anything to make me think he or his family are talking about that right now. He was just given the keys to the offense with now lower expectations and plenty of weapons to work with. In regard to the possibility of IW transferring to…[Read more]

Of course I’m making inferences because I’m not part of the team. But no one can deny that the bulk of the excitement prior to 2023 was based on having Rising running the same Ludwig offense as the previous two seasons and Kuithe leading the other skill players as his favourite weapon. I’m not going to relitigate 2023 but from my 30,000 foot…[Read more]
