Rising ACL Setback?

[tanute3]

There’s a rumor circulating on Twitter that Cam experienced a setback in his recovery and won’t be ready for the beginning of the season. I know that anything on Twitter should be taken with a grain of salt, but wondering if anyone has any insights into the validity of this?

It was a rumor started by a known zoob with no sources….Sounded made-up to me.

More from Karen

the karen that started that rumor also said Taylor Randall was meeting with the MWC and WAC and that Utah athletics has so much debt they’re going to need to file for bankruptcy…

This would not be the least bit surprising considering how he was/is allegedly on a borderline miraculous recovery path.

this news (if true) would fall under the “expected” category for me.

But likely not true.

I would like to address your general attitude of hopeless negativism. Consider the lilies of the goddamned field!

Love that movie… but I disagree regarding my attitude. I don’t see my comment as negative at all. I didn’t suggest that I believed the tweet, I didn’t say anything bad about anyone or anything.

All i said is that I wouldn’t be surprised. Honestly, if you WERE surprised, I have to question your judgment. Football players get hurt all the time.

Sometimes I do say negative things. This is not one of those times. Is it optimistic? No. Is the only alternative to optimism negativity? No.

I’m not surprised when oft injured people suffer setbacks to injury recovery. That isn’t negativity. Negativity would be me saying something like, “yeah, I bet he really is injured, that would be just his luck, I bet he never fully recovers.”

[Ute Dub]

Considering the 8 downvotes you received, none of which were mine, perhaps others don’t share your same viewpoint that your comments were objective only and not negative.

One area to consider is speech that employs, “absolutes”. “The least bit”, “miraculous”. I’m sure Jesus rolls over in his grave every time he hears someone call 7 months in, of a 9-month healing, miraculous.

I was being facetious about Jesus in the grave, He is risen!

People on team specific sports boards downvote anything thats not 100% positive beyond belief and saccharine-sweet on any topic regardless of how true it is. He wasn’t downvoted because what he said was negative or untrue or anything but an opinion, but because he has dared to be anything but nigh psychotically positive about an injury. That and there’s a bunch of people downvoting him because their extra fragile fee fees are hurt about him not being positive in the past. They have to downvote when they see his name out of the spite of the smallest most pathetically petty grudge imaginable.

Fanboards sometimes get this weird stepford wives sort of culture where no one is allowed to disagree or frown and anyone that does is shouted down and ostracized. This board is getting there fast.

Objective only and not negative? I’m not sure what you mean. I didn’t claim my comment was objective. Objectivity hasn’t even been brought up (not by me anyway), and if it were I would say that objectivity isn’t a realistic expectation of a fan. I just said that I didn’t see my comment as being negative, and suggested that there is an alternative to positivity that isn’t negativity (I offered no suggestion regarding what that alternative might be).

Also, I appreciate your opinion about what I meant to say when I said what I said, but I prefer to trust in my own interpretation of the words I myself wrote.

I care about discussion. I write in absolutes to fan the flames when discussion isn’t happening. I admit that this may result in people jumping to conclusions about the tone of my posts, but that doesn’t mean that people are right to do so (not that I really care, downvote all you want).

I visited with Cam in person at the Ute football campus late last week and he looked absolutely fine. I’ll leave it at that.

I abandoned ALL social media about a year ago…best thing I’ve done (from an electronics standpoint) in a long time.

Twitter is full of great information as long as you assume the opposite.

Greetings from rural Greece. With the super slow internet here it took me a long time to delete all the political comments in this thread. Please do your best to keep on topic. 🙂

He’s working out and throwing every day. People can go by and see for themselves.

[RoboUte]

Lmao every time I edit a comment it creates a copy of the original unedited comment below.

[Ute Dub]

Lol.

[Tony (admin)]

Robo: please give me the exact reproduction steps and I’ll see if we have a bug to fix. Also app or website??

[RoboUte]

Website, Firefox

Made a comment and saw typos. So I click “open” below the comment>click “edit” in the new view>make my edits>click submit. This usually works fine but what ended up happening was this: 10-30 seconds after the comment was edited a new comment appeared below it, which was the original unedited text of the comment.

 

This happened three times and stopped on the fourth. I can’t say what I changed on the fourth time but it’s possible I had the edit function open in more than one tab? I’m just guessing becasue I killed all other tabs on the final edit, which was never duplicated.

[chinngiskhaan]

Firefox???

[Tony (admin)]

Going try to repro it in FF. Works fine in Chrome. Are you hitting the back button or reloading the browser? Are you opening the edit in a new tab? Thanks for the information.
