He said some interesting things. It sounds like he has his cornerbacks picked
Today was the best practice so far
A lot of playmakers out there
Johnson is a great addition to our team and solidifies the secondary
ZV, Johnson, and Snowden are currently starters.
Tao Johnson will be a starting safety. The other safety is yet to be determined.…[Read more]
ProudUte started the topic If USU can make the final 32 … in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Utah State won its conference championship and made it to the final 32 after losing its coach and 13 players. If USU can rebuild in one season, we, too, “should” be able to do it.
I am not smart enough to know what we need to do, but I believe it can be done. I really thought this year would be a very good year for the Utes, with Carlsen…[Read more]

This article talks about Pitman. A previous article said that Singer was the leader of the pack. This sounds good to me. It means that Rising will have a bunch of guys to throw including Parks, Kuithe, King, McClain and more.
Pitman has yet to live up to his potential in part because of injuries. Maybe this will be his year.

Interesting article on how spring practice is progressing. A couple of points:
– Rising is looking great
– Close race for QB2. Wildon has done a great job of learning the offense.
– Pitman looks like the best WR in practice.
– Bernard appears to be RB1.
– We are loaded at tight end.
I love Utah football. I hope that things fall into…[Read more]
ProudUte replied to the topic I may be in the minority in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Yeah, tough to gloat when it comes to basketball. It’s like how they gloated when we lost to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl when they lost to UAB in the Independence Bowl. BYU has a better basketball program than we do today. I hope that changes, but we are not close right now. Yes, we beat them this season, but that was one game and not a…[Read more]
ProudUte replied to the topic College Football Realignment Dream Scenario in the forum Football 1 month, 3 weeks ago
That’s a bit out there and complicated, although I would take it.
My hope now is that Utah ends up in a two-conference (football-only) power league (likely Big 10). I actually hope that all other sports go back to regional conferences. I hope that the PAC 12 comes back as a sports conference for all sports except football. The travel issues…[Read more]

I think the Red Rocks may be in the black. Basketball is in trouble. I am not sure what needs to be done other than getting a better team. Competing with the Jazz is also a problem.

ProudUte started the topic Who is Mike Mitchell? in the forum Football 1 month, 4 weeks ago
This article answers the question – Who is Mike Mitchell? Sounds like he will see some playing time this fall in a crowded RB room. He is very fast, and it sounds like he has bulked up in the weight room. I look forward to seeing him play this season.
We know Bernard and Glover will see a lot of playing time. Now we are…[Read more]

Good question.
ProudUte replied to the topic Linebacker core in the forum Football 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Great article. It seems to me that Barton will be playing in 2024 in spite of rumors that he would not be able to play because of his injury.
We are loaded at LB and have a solid front 4. I think we will be okay at safety with a number of potential starters. The biggest concern on defense is corner. But we may be okay if guys like Snowden and…[Read more]
ProudUte replied to the topic Things that would send TSPP fans off a cliff in the forum They So Poo Poo 2 months ago
UteBacker, you are spot on. Both teams have good fans, and both have bad fans. I have a relationship with many BYU fans. I just get a kick out of the CB and their disdain for everything Utah.
ProudUte replied to the topic Things that would send TSPP fans off a cliff in the forum They So Poo Poo 2 months ago
Isaac Wilson winning the Heisman would do it. But, I think it could happen sooner if Utah wins the Big 12 in season 1.
If the powers that be created two super conferences and Utah is in and BYU is out, they would totally lose it.
However, I have to admit – BYU’s basketball program is in much better shape than we are.

It’s nice to hear what Scalley and Ludwig think about the 2024 Utes.
Sounds like Ludwig likes what he sees from Isaac Wilson. I keep seeing Mike Mitchell getting lots of props. It will be interesting to see how many carries he gets.

ProudUte replied to the topic So this is going to date me, but I had a funny memory come to mind in the forum Football 2 months ago
That was a great game. Everything started to go right for the Utes. A defensive lineman (can’t remember his name) had a pick-6 in that game. Scott Mitchell threw for 390 yards. Utah was in FG range at the end of the game. Some Utes thought we should have kicked a FG so we could have over 60 points.

A couple of notes:
– Sounds like Isaac Wilson is getting some reps. I guess he has not yet had surgery.
– Luke Bottari is still on the team. I thought his eligibility was up.
– Newcomers – Mike Mitchell and Dorian Singer are looking good.
– Fano is being moved to right tackle.
I saw another report from Hans Olsen who said that…[Read more]
