Yes. Whitt is the reason fans could not trust what was going on because he has to live this secret code that gives his team zero advantage.

I never agreed with the fans who started going after Cam but the coaches did him no services by teasing his return with goofy, “well we sure hope Cam plays…” week after week.

In fact, Cam actually forced…[Read more]

#BlameWhitt?

I subscribed to Canzano’s blog on Substack for a couple of years, but I cancelled my subscription late last year. The demise of the PAC 12 really destroyed his business model. It no longer made sense to read his articles when the teams he was covering were split among three mutually exclusive conferences.

I’m hoping someone, probably Rising, eventually writes a tell-all book about what happened behind the scenes during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. I’m guessing that if he does, it won’t paint many people within the program in a good light. I can only refer to what I, and others like Chingiskhan, said once we found out, in early summer 2023, the…[Read more]

I get it Champ. I just don’t know that it’s subterfuge. I see that it could be. I’m just saying that Whittingham was driven by knowing two things – he wanted Rising on the field if at all possible, and the U didn’t have a suitable backup.

Rick, I think you’re making my point with the 2020 injury. Whitt didn’t have to announce Rising’s injury, but it was made clear that it was season ending. We all moved on to the next option instead of speculating on when QB1 would be back.

Counter that with 2023 where after 4 weeks of “he’s splitting 1st team reps” and “we’re doing everything…[Read more]

Yes, it is from the DN. I have fixed the original link as well. Thanks for letting me know.

Champ and Gator,
I don’t mean this to argue with either of you about Whitt’s handling of the Rising situation the past two seasons. I think it could have been better, especially last season more from a personnel standpoint. We simply did not have the right back up.

I do think a lot of us forget context from Coach Whitt’s perspective. I talk to…[Read more]

I can’t get the story to open. So I guess I’ll just have to take your word for it.

To help you feel better about 2025 Football: You’re going to have a great time watching your favorite team play a game you love!!! The fans will be loud, hanging out with your football friends/family will be a blast, and every gameday will be a day to look forward to and enjoy, surrounded by screaming fans, good friends, family, and food.

Go Utes!!!

Riseas that is a fine post- but your profile pic is not so pleasant. Not sure what is going on there but it makes me wish I had not noticed it!

Truth

Tobias Meriweather-
Sounds like a British cricket paddler-
I hope he’s a good wide out!

Multiple people have told me we should hear something today 🤜🤛

Looks like a good recruit. We need D tackles. He already has the size. Now we need to get him in the weight room.

He was recruited by many top football programs. This may be a good get.

You can’t enter the transfer portal anymore (unless a coach leaves) But you can still announce your destination. He entered the portal at the end of the window

I’m confused, didn’t the transfer window close? Wasn’t that why everyone breathed a big sigh of relief last week when Snowden decided to stay?

I’m not sure that’s necessarily true about making his life a living hell, but if it was it was enabled by the way his injury and his previous injury were handled. Both in 2023 and 2024 the word from Whitt and the rest of the staff was that he was always a game-time decision. And since a “large group of our fan base” takes every word that comes…[Read more]
