ProudUte started the topic I feel bad for Oregon State and Washington State in the forum Pac-12 1 year, 2 months ago
They did not deserve to be left out in the dark. I just looked at their football schedules for 2024. Both teams have MWC schedules without being part of the conference.
I am happy that Utah landed on its feet. But WSU and OSU deserved better IMO.
Go Utes!!!

ProudUte started the topic More preseason hype in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
I think the hype helps our football program with recruiting, etc. The publicity is a good thing. I am not too worried with players getting too cocky. Coach Whitt will take care of that IMO.
A few weeks back – I saw a post on the CB that I found kind of funny. The poster wrote that he likes BYU being rated 12th or 13th…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Most frustrating football seasons in the forum Football 1 year, 2 months ago
I have lived through two 1-10 seasons in the 1970s, but they weren’t the most frustrating seasons for me because expectations were low. Here are my most frustrating seasons in chronological order:
1973 – There were high expectations for the Utah football team that year and they upset 8th ranked ASU. But, we blew it in the end and finished with…[Read more]

I completely agree that Isaac Wilson is our QB of the future.

ProudUte replied to the topic McKay Hillstead is in the portal in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
I want to get the best possible QB in the portal. But, with Rising being our starter, it seems like it will be difficult to find any 4-star caliber kids who would be willing to make that change.
I think McCae is a “bulldog” and may surprise some people in spite of his size. That being said, as I posted in my initial post, I am only looking for…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic McKay Hillstead is in the portal in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
He led Skyridge to the 6A state football championship in 2022. Utah State recruited him. He got to start for a few games as a true freshman and did not do badly until he got injured. I loved watching him in high school. He made things happen. He was an amazing runner.
Should we be interested in him? He would not be our future at QB.…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic Proposed Super League in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
They put us in the Plains Division, which seems a bit odd. I doubt this will be what we see. But, if it means that Utah remains with the big boys – I would take it. In the end – I suspect that the 7 division winners would make a playoff along with 9 at-large invitations.
I would like to take this over from our current situation.

I support this! I’m not saying that I think it will happen, but it would be great if it did.

ProudUte started the topic Now spring practice is over – what do you think… in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
So what do you all think about the 2024 season?
For me – I think this season depends mostly on Cam Rising’s health and ability to do what he does best. Cam may not need to run as much as he has in the past, but he needs to be a threat to run. He is at his best when he can run and keep the defense honest.
I think we have the receivers and tight…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic I believe Isaac Wilson is our QB of the future in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
I thought that he was very good watching him play last season at Corner Canyon. He is a baller, very competitive, smart and athletic. I have no idea when his surgery will take place. I am sure that the family would like it to happen sooner than later. If he does have the surgery in the next month or two, he will likely not be ready to play in…[Read more]

Yep, most people did not know that OJ was ready to come to Utah until the last minute when USC swept in.

ProudUte started the topic Post practice interview with Scalley in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
– Said that we have to create depth at some positions.
– Corners are looking good. Johnson looks ready to go. ZV is playing as confident as he has ever played.
– Excited about the font 7, especially what Coach Eliss has done with the tackles. We have a lot of depth at the D end position. He mentioned some names of some guys who are stepping it…[Read more] -
ProudUte replied to the topic Toxic Poster in the forum Ute Hub Site 1 year, 3 months ago
We are all loyal Utes, yet we have different opinions about coaches, players, the administration, etc. It’s okay to have differing opinions, in fact that is completely normal. IMO, I think we all (me included) can do better at times on how we disagree.
A few days ago, I posted about my dream coaching staff. I was surprised how many downvotes I…[Read more]

He is an excellent running back. This would be an amazing get if he chose to come here to Utah.

ProudUte replied to the topic 10 REASONS WHY in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
It seems to me that any portal guys we pick up this late will not likely be starters this season. We, of course are looking for a QB and you know he will not be a starter unless there are injuries. I “think” that any portal guys we pick up will be for depth at this point. It would be hard to come in this summer and become a starter.

ProudUte replied to the topic 10 REASONS WHY in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
I doubt they would risk him practicing right now. However, everything I hear (including family) is that he is ready to play and is planning on playing in 2024.

Nice article, but Here are a few guys who should be on that list IMO, who are not:

ProudUte started the topic I just watched the last 5 minutes of the 2022 Utah/USC game in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
Cam Rising and Kincaid were studs in that game. (Kuithe had just been injured two weeks previous.) Cam led us down the field for the final TD and made a beautiful play for the two-point conversion. Cam Rising is a difference maker, and I think Kuithe will be again.
I am excited for the 2024 football season!
