Will they be the favorite in 3/4 years when those guys would have been expected to contribute? No they won’t. That is the problem.

chinngiskhaan started the topic This is sort of tongue in cheek, but if you in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

Aren’t going to throw to WRs, then does it really matter if one bails on us?

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Zion Steptoe decommitment highlights a major problem in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!!

Are you seriously passing judgement on our WR coach that we just hired (late in the offseason I might add) ? He’s been on the staff for a grand total of THREE GAMES! GTFO with that bullshit take. Just go

chinngiskhaan started the topic Things I hope to see from our team against USC in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

I don’t expect to see these things. I won’t complain if I dont’ see them, but I hope to see the following:
– A team that is united
– Solid game plans on offense and defense (this is independent of our ability to execute against USC, well… as independent as it can possibly be anyway).
– A continuation of the defense we saw against WSU. Not…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan started the topic So Moa is no longer committed… That is kind of shocking, but also not so bad in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

He’s a good player, but he plays a position that we are absolutely loaded at… So doesn’t hurt us much if he doesn’t recommit to Utah.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Good hoops article…1st day of practice today in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 years, 9 months ago

The great thing about basketball is it only takes one guy to turn the entire thing around on a dime. If Smith is that guy, or if he can find the player version of that guy, the fans/attention will return. I’m not sure we have that guy at the moment. I think we have a bunch of scrappy players that may or may not be able to win games through team workiness.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Put yourself in the coach's shoes. How do we play in such a way that we convince in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Troy Taylor better than Ludwig? Our offense was LIGHTYEARS better when Ludwig took over… and we had pretty much the exact same team. The problem isn’t play calling. The problem is the players.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Put yourself in the coach's shoes. How do we play in such a way that we convince in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that Ludwig was holding back a bunch of the offense throughout the year until we got way behind vs SDSU. I think they knew they could beat WSU without the long ball. If they had just held onto the ball, they would have thumped WSU without having to do anything even remotely risky.

If we are able to pass…[Read more]

4* wide receivers to consistently come to the University of Utah? We are getting 4* running backs and QBs. What is your gameplan (not for one specific game, but a plan of action going forward) for pulling in big time WR recruits?

If it was me I would do what I think Ludwig is currently planning on doing. Get athletic QBs that are reasonably…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan started the topic So in a thread a few days ago I asked if Micah Bernard was injured in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

I read today that he is indeed injured, and that is why he didn’t go back into the game (in case anyone else was wondering).

chinngiskhaan started the topic After seeing what I was missing on this site upon being logged out briefly in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

I can say with 100% confidence that I am glad there is an ignore feature!

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Serious question, put yourself in the shoes of Whitt in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

that is a very fair approach to take.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Cristobal going overboard on his reaction? in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

In light of recent events in our own football program, I have developed an entirely new (to me) perspective when it comes to coaching these young men. I don’t think it’s ever okay for a coach to come unglued on a player, unless they do something profoundly immoral, which isn’t likely to happen on the football field (and as such would not be a…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Serious question, put yourself in the shoes of Whitt in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

I agree that everyone is pretty much always going through something… but this isn’t that. This is everyone going through the SAME thing. That’s not to say that you are wrong, but I do think it’s worth it to point out that the entire organization going through the same thing isn’t the same as everyone dealing with their own individual stuff. I…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Bye Week in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

sure, it’s just hard to know what to do/say in situations like this when you feel bad, but you are sort of on the outside looking in.

chinngiskhaan started the topic Serious question, put yourself in the shoes of Whitt in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

How would you handle things? What would your message be to these boys?
If it were me, I think I offer my support to the players in any way possible, don’t even mention the game of football. I then meet with the leadership of the team (probably Wednesday or so) and let them know that how we handle the next two weeks, and the rest of the season is…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Bye Week in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

I on the other hand can’t help but think that you can’t help but think what you are thinking because you are a fan of a team, and you want that team to win, and are to some degree projecting your desires for the team to win onto the players and coaches.

The reality is, we don’t know how they are reacting to this. Maybe some of those guys feel…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic I swear… if I hear anyone whining about our performance against USC in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

If they choose to handle it that way fine, if they chose to curl up into a ball collectively and mourn rather than focusing on football that is equally fine. I’m just saying, they need support not judgement

chinngiskhaan started the topic I swear… if I hear anyone whining about our performance against USC in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

I’m going to come unglued. These boys (and their coaches) deserve nothing but positivity and empathy right now.
I know I’ve BMC’d more than anyone, but our team needs our support right now.

chinngiskhaan started the topic I feel like there is more negativity surrounding today's game than there should in the forum Football 3 years, 9 months ago

Yes there are concerns (fumbles, more fumbles, Rising being inaccurate, CBs lining up 15 yards downfield, more fumbles, drops…our monkey nutsack sucking kicker)…
but this team IMPROVED this game. The defense looked like they actually cared today. We got consistent pressure on the QB, we forced turnovers, we have a TON of young talent on the…[Read more]
