I was invited by a high donor to the pre event for the crimson club before the official fan fest. It was nice hearing the coaches in a quieter setting. Women’s basketball spoke and talked about two High level state of Utah commitments they have and will be announcing soon, gymnastics talked about how appreciative they are of the NIL help because it is making a huge difference for them recruiting, football was all pretty much on par with what we have been hearing. The coolest was basketball. They introduced the entire team, gave Dawes a special thanks for coming back this year and Alex Jensen really emphasized getting back to “runnin Utes Basketball”

After that, we went onto the field for about 15 minutes before they let GA in. Honestly it was subpar. All the athletes mingled in their respective teams. A few football players played soccer with some kids and the basketball team started a game of lightning which was pretty cool. Within 20 minutes of opening it was shoulder to shoulder on the field. VERY packed. The band played for about 20 minutes as well.

I got up there late, maybe just after 8 pm. They had already shut down access to the inside events, so I just sat in the stands watching the crowds milling around. Kudos for the bottles of water at the fifty yard lines. Pretty much a non-event. Looking forward to the first game to see what’s up with the 2025 Utes.

I completely missed it too. I feel it wasn’t advertised well like it has been in the past.

It would seem so. I wouldn’t have missed it, but I never saw it promoted.

Soooo, I have the Utah Tickets app, which then required me to use Tickemaster… Is Utah Tickets no longer used?

[NarfUte]

No, the Utah tickets app is no longer used. You need the utah360 app. When you login there’s a dropdown on the top left where ‘manage tickets’ is an option. At that point you’ll need to login to your paciolan account to see them.

I agree Jim, and this wasn’t talked enough about. Wilson was not ready for the moment, but the WRs really did not do him any service by getting separation.

Other than Rising spending two years learning Ludwig’s offense in the booth prior to the 2021 season, when has KW as a head coach made developing a backup QB at Utah for the future a priority? There was never a QB plan B for Rising’s last season after Barnes left. As for Wilson, I expect we’ll see a more confident, improved QB coached up by Beck. Wilson doesn’t need to do everything Dampier is allegedly going to do. Wilson is more than capable of not making mistakes, running the offense with all the support cast in place. My biggest concern is once again KW not letting Beck do his job running off another OC.

But Wilson tried to bolt and what happened with that?

[Utah#1]

Totally agree on the Rose situation! Whitt just poorly judged his QB room and Rose ability to carry the team. He had no faith in Rose and didn’t give him a chance until Wilson got injured and then had no choice but to play Rose in the BYU game and Rose proved him wrong! Unfortunately, Rose got injured in the 2nd half of that game and didn’t play the reason of the season. But I agree, Rose wasn’t treated fairly or given a shot by Whitt or the coaching staff. Very disappointing!
