Hey, it happens. Don’t worry about it

Are you a child or just mentally challenged? Shouting something on the internet doesn’t make it true. Dawes is NOT our worst FT shooter, not by a long shot. Lovering is worse by a substantial margin. Dawes is a 69% FT shooter, which isn’t good, but it isn’t awful either. As bad as our team is from the line, I’d wager to say he is one of our better…[Read more]

Every day there are dozens of joe shmoes at any local rec center that can hit 8/10 free throws. Shitty free throw shooting is proof of a lack of effort, focus, and conditioning in practice.

When I played HS ball, our coach made us run ladders at the end of practice then he would pick a random player to shoot a free throw. If they missed we had to…[Read more]

we need someone that has a green light to allow the other guys to get open. Without Madsen, even when he is chucking bricks, we would have no real three point threat and our offense would come to a screeching halt.

How about a poll about how to come up with new poll ideas?

Arf arf!

Yeah, I’m not trying to suggest Whitt should have seen the future and canned Ludwig after 3 stellar years in a row. Had Rising and Kuithe left back then, Ludwig probably would have done much better these last two years, but they didn’t, Ludwig was terrible, and he needed to go.

The coaches did the best they could with the info they had, which was…[Read more]

This program was stale and badly needed a refresh. Make no mistake, having Rising, Kuithe, and Ludwig gone is good for this team, and they should have been gone after the last Rose Bowl game. The entire Rose Bowl team was built around two players. When those two players got SERIOUSLY injured, we should have moved on from them and built a new team…[Read more]

Problem on offense and defense is the same tonight. Letting the other team play their game. We are timid on both sides of the ball. Afraid to shoot on offense. Afraid to attack on defense.

oh, well that makes it all better because he is a proven commodity at WR. /s

guys, he’s played on two teams and has done nothing for either one. I’m supposed to believe the problem has been his offensive coaches and not his own talent?

Not buying it.

I watched very little Utah football last year. What I saw of Nate was a quarterback that was good in one game and bad in all the rest. He didn’t seem nearly as fast in pads as his 100m time indicated he was. Is that because he was used incorrectly? Possibly. HJe didn’t do anything notable for Vandy either. I like the guy, and I’m glad he’s back,…[Read more]

I’m glad he’s back, but is this really a big deal? I’m glad he’s is showing personal growth, but the chances of him contributing meaningfully are small.

Or poo pooing the player or his return, just seems like this warrants very little celebration.

😂

Last year we thought we had an improved stable of QBs over the previous year, and they were equally ineffective. I have hope that the new staff will be able to get more out of this group of QBs, but I refuse to drink the kool aid until we see the on field product against a proven good team. I thought we were in for a great season when Wilson…[Read more]

I will beat this drum until I die: No college level basketball player should ever have a career FT shooting percentage below 70%, and no team in any game should shoot below 70% from the line. Its the same damn shot every damn time. There is no excuse for missing. I’ve been able to hit 85-90 out of 100 consistently since I was like 14, and I…[Read more]

oh yeah… that one guy that made it work out of hundreds proves me totally wrong. /s

There is a reason I said “likely never be a meaningful contributor. I’m not claiming that nobody can make it if they aren’t regular contributors by the end of year two, but it is more likely than not that they won’t ever be regular contributors.

Also, Terrell…[Read more]

It seems like the team has switched recruiting philosophies, at least on offense. For a few years there it seemed like they were just going after whoever had the highest rating. Now it seems like they’ve switched to going after guys that have demonstrated an ability to fit a specific need. I think this will work out better for the team.
