UTE98 replied to the topic Loyalty in the forum Football 7 months ago
This is similar to what happened for me with MLB.
In the early 90s as a Pirates fan it really turned me off when Bonds, Bonilla, Van slyke, Bell, Drabek, Belinda, Smiley, Carlos Garcia, Rafael Belliard, Jose Lind were broken up due to $$$$. That was the end of MLB for me. I attend maybe one or two Rockies games a year. And Sid Bream, you’re dead…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic Why Paying Players Hasn't Fixed College Sports in the forum Football 7 months ago
One factor I think is being overlooked.
Academics! What do I mean? College football/P4 status means an incredible amount of money is poured into P4 universities.
The academics and research done at many universities, including the University of Utah, experiences an incredible increase in funding. An increased draw for better quality faculty, and…[Read more]

I hope this combined with Rose leaving does not lean toward Rising returning. If Rising holds this team hostage another year, I’m out until he and Whit are gone.

UTE98 replied to the topic No Trust For Whittingham on Offense in the forum Football 7 months, 1 week ago
I’d love to see a breakdown of rushing rank those same years. 2008, 2019, 2021, 2022. Moss, Thomas, Bernard, Curry during a couple of those later years. Which year was Joe Williams?
2008 – Asiata, Mack, Wide

UTE98 started the topic It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… in the forum Football 7 months, 1 week ago
No really it’s still the worst of times. Seven straight losses, offense still couldn’t score last night.
Last night was lipstick on the pig of the 2024 season. I’m afraid it will be used to argue all is okay, we don’t need changes we’ve figured it out.
NO! Relying on your defense to score 17 points is not sustainable. It covered up a ton of…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic Question for our Cougar Ute hub posters. in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
I lived in VA from 2002 until 2011. You can take a nap, record the game, get up at 11:30 watch it and skip commercials. I’ve done that many a time. Or just sucked it up and started watching and not getting to bed until the wee hours of the morning.
Since the game will get over after midnight and you’re watching, your penitence is since it’s a…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic We got 14' of frontcourt help back last night in the forum Basketball (Men) 7 months, 2 weeks ago
From someone who watched Keller a ton in High School, my daughter graduated with him, I saw things about him last night many didn’t. I probably attended 15-20 of his games, including the State Championship game.
#1, he’s a way better player than what CU got with Andrew Crawford this last year. Both were well known in High school here in Colorado,…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic Whittingham meeting with Cam in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
At this point Harlan might as well hire Cam, he’s running the program as it is. I for one did not want Cam back this year. I certainly didn’t change my mind based on this year’s happenings.
It’s a no for me!

UTE98 replied to the topic RB/running is the key to a Whitt team, so why so much NIL for QBs? in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
@Utah, well put. You succinctly said exactly what a Whitt coached team is. Good, but never ever going to be great. If Utah wins 8-10 games a year and makes the playoffs every four or five years is that good enough? If so go out get some quality RBs, coach up your QB, but make sure the RB room is full every year to compliment the good SR QB we’ll…[Read more]

UTE98 started the topic RB/running is the key to a Whitt team, so why so much NIL for QBs? in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
One of my biggest frustrations this year is Whitt forgot what gets his desired results.
TOP – need a great running game.
Tire out the opposing defense – need a good running game.
Long sustained drives – need a good running game.
Score TDs – need a good running game.So let’s looks at a few stats over the years.
Top running backs/yardage
2024…[Read more] -

I watched the Brawl of the Wild yesterday. Only full game I watched. I miss the days of football not just being about $. Great game for the Bobcats.

UTE98 started the topic Sure it's conjecture, but I think this team is 8-4 at worst with Barnes and JJ. in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
I know it’s not popular, I’ve been on board to move on from Rising since the end of the Penn St. game.
If we had Barnes and JJ back this year, I think we’d have won most of the one score games, and maybe even blown a few teams out. Putting all the NIL money in the Rising/Wilson basket has been a bust. Good chance we’re playing for the Big XII…[Read more]

UTE98 started the topic Offensive Coordinator issues with Utah since 2005. in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Let’s do a quick review.
2005 – 2008 – Ludwig, I think he really benefitted from BJ. Then he left for Kansas St.
2009 – 2010 – Schramm
2010 – 2012 – Roderick
2011 – Norm Chow
2012 – 2013 – Brian Johnson
2013 – Erickson
2014 – Christensen
2015 – 2016 – Roderick
2017 – 2018 – Taylor
Other than Christensen, I think every one of the OC’s got…[Read more]

UTE98 replied to the topic Utah is #1 in the forum Football 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Many will disagree, but I think the loss of JJ is a much bigger factor to Utah’s season this year. We haven’t had a Alex Smith, Brian Johnson, Scott Mitchell in our Pac-12 days, we’ve had some good QBs but IMO nobody as good as them. What has always made Utah go is our RBs. After Kiel McDonald left the RB room as a whole has gone downhill. Love Q,…[Read more]
