2008 National Champ

I think the phrase is “what should be done eventually must be done immediately” but the why do you want to Fire Whitt crowd won’t agree

Seriously, that SC linebacker owes Utah some royalty money.

Troy Williams also gifted him with a pick in the 2017 game. The SC fans around me laughed when I said out loud that Utah should just put him on scholarship since he was their best receiver.

Whitt also went all in on him and he’s the one who’s getting paid millions to know better

I root for the name on the front of the jersey. I don’t give a rat’s ass who gets the job done as long as it gets done.

The idolatry of individual players is the problem. Would 2021 vintage Cam Rising have won tonight’s game? Very likely. But if you expected that to come to fruition, then you were allowing your want to override objective…[Read more]

it’s the Covid effect:

Hey, I’m not sure these mask rules will help- Shut up, you’re trying to kill me!
Hey, has this vaccine best tested? – Shut up and quit trying to kill me with your unvaccinated ass!
Hey, all these studies show that what we did didn’t really help – Why can’t you just move on already

should have never come back in 2019.

I realize that what we are seeing is exactly what Whitt wanted and was the inevitable conclusion of his 12 years of revolving OC’s. But it’s also the only possible conclusion of his limited rolodex and unwillingness to go outside his own comfort level.

Saban was considered as having reached his plateau as a…[Read more]

I edited above but thanks for the info. Kinda feels like grasping at straws to replace an existing coach with this guy though since you can only have 10. Someone would have to get fired for him to call plays

sorry but who the eff is Mike Bajakian? Graduate Assistant? He’s not one of the 10 listed coaches

I’ve been saying for years that Whitt has earned the right to go 8-4/9-3 until he decides to hang it up. He should never be unceremoniously shown the door because that level of performance is no longer acceptable to the Utah fanbase.

At the same time, I worry that his stature with the school has reached Paterno levels (Sandusky scandal…[Read more]

If you couldn’t see that tonight’s game was a distinct possibility based on what had happened since Rising played coy with the “will I, won’t I go pro” before the Penn State game and his subsequent injury.,, sure blame us I told you so fans. You’ll feel better but it won’t change the reality

Another case of Whitt trying to win the last game instead of the next one. Let me know if this sounds familiar:

2022 against Florida Anthony Richardson kept breaking containment. 2023 Whitt puts the team through an extra physical camp and beats Florida but spends the rest of the year with half his roster.

2024 Fall camp Whitt decides he’s…[Read more]

Some of us have been essentially saying this since January of 2023 Rising has this team by the throat and is killing it and been told we are not true fans and need to shut the fuck up. But I’m sure that now it is obvious to everyone we’ll just be told to let it go because no one is allowed to admit that they might be wrong about something to…[Read more]

oh man, that one kinda hurt

Don’t get me wrong. I’m fine with disliking Baylor on general principles. They just had nothing to do with a 7th year QB not throwing the ball away in week 2 or the Utah coaching staff deciding that a guy who can’t protect himself or throw the ball with any consistency was the best option tonight.

There is absolutely a correlation between expectations and performance when it comes to enjoyment. Only thing I can suggest is to let it be your expectations and don’t let an echo chamber convince you that you are wrong. Posting “16-0 baby, we win it all” may get you upvotes but it won’t feel good if you actually start believing it.

there aren’t enough thumbs up available for this analysis.

put in a QB who is capable of throwing the ball. Wilson couldn’t have done worse than under 50% completed and 3 picks. Hell, Rose or Huard could have done at least as bad but I’m sure they weren’t available since they “don’t know the offense”

Just for reference, that was a top 10 paid Head Coach (public schools), and a top 15 paid Offensive Coordinator and a top 15 paid Defensive Coordinator that had two weeks to prepare. Just sayin’

get that shit out of here. Baylor had nothing to do with Utah laying an egg after having 2 weeks to prepare for this game
