Interesting that this UU team is hyped as deep & talented, but they lose Cam...

cougarmeister How does this work?

...and suddenly the narrative has shifted and they are just OK and not likely to do or be anything special this year. Rising is a good QB, but if UU is really so über-talented, shouldn't they be able to survive the loss of one player and still be great?

Rising still out this week

Is it because of uno doctoro again?

Uno Doctoro

Hate to be that guy, but the direct quote is “Uno Doctors”.

HeyU

I guess you missed the depth of my sarcasm...

Uno Doctoro

Sep 27, 6:41pm

The dude should be investigated by the FTC for fraud or something with how much NIL he’s swindled

Mike Honcho

Sep 26, 12:14pm

Too bad they did not also waste a bunch on Jack Tuttle

SoBlueitHurts

Cam Rising

If he only plays in less than 4 this year, can he come back again?

Xenon

Sep 26, 12:16pm

Ridiculously yes, he can. He's said he won't, though.

Corn Pop

Sep 26, 12:18pm

Because Wilson would probably transfer

Ol Big Bear

I don't see a problem with this

2FarGone

He can come back regardless. He has one more year of eligibility.

Jdoc

Sep 26, 12:21pm

Wait seriously?!? Lol!

rad dawg

Sep 26, 12:32pm

True story.

Jdoc

Sep 26, 12:35pm

Due to the new rule that gave players a year back for the rule

davidmj10

Sep 26, 1:12pm

Correct. He was docked a year for transferring. Transfer year was given back

NYC and Japan

Sep 26, 1:12pm

Until next year when he gets "one more year of eligibility" again

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 26, 6:47pm

Rising has made $2M plus over the last two seasons for 18 pass completions

Blueto

Sep 26, 12:16pm

incredible statistic!

runnincoug

Sep 26, 12:18pm

Six figures per completion! LOL

Yucatan

Love it, hope everyone involved keeps it up

Gustav

$111,111 per pass completion

Give me a chance. I'll wear any jersey to try that.

TailgateU

Sep 26, 12:53pm

Utah is top 10 and the hands down favorite for the CCG. Rising just has a cut finger

TFL

Sep 26, 12:32pm

Lol...that cool million to watch you guys go 8-5 last year? Definitely worth it

Blueto

Sep 26, 12:42pm

Hands down title favorite in Ute fan minds. I have not seen a single national

NYC and Japan

Sep 26, 1:14pm

You’re kidding, right? First, Utah is a favorite to get to the CCG.

TFL

Sep 26, 2:25pm

I think you are both talking about different things. They are expected to get

Parabellum

Sep 26, 2:46pm

they are the favorites to make the CCG. I have no idea who would win

TFL

Sep 26, 5:11pm

Sorry, CCG means Conference Championship Game. Always has

OOOOOO HE SAID "DONT KID YOURSELF"

MaximusMeridius

Sep 26, 3:13pm

No, you have now changed wording. Originally “the” favorite. Now “a” favorite

NYC and Japan

Sep 26, 3:29pm

Utah is both. I know enough about CCGs That you can’t project a winner

TFL

Sep 26, 5:17pm

From a prior post

Medute

Sep 26, 2:31pm

You are posting about the CFP TFL is saying CCG

Blue Heart

Sep 26, 3:07pm

CCG = Conference Championship Game? Or so I thought....

krindorr

Sep 26, 3:42pm

Agreed.

Blue Heart

Sep 26, 3:46pm

Those are all old and all or almost all just a person/ people predicting. I said

NYC and Japan

Sep 26, 3:50pm

What are all these models you speak of besides FPI?

Medute

Sep 26, 4:15pm

FPI - UCF, Sagarin Most Recent, The Power Rank, Massey/Unabated and Congrove ISU

NYC and Japan

Sep 26, 5:15pm

so for example, ESPN FPI Gives Utah a 66% chance to beat Iowa State

TFL

Sep 26, 5:29pm

I don't make the computer rankings...Not saying they always make sense to others

NYC and Japan

Sep 26, 6:13pm

Should we revisit today?

Should we revisit today?

NYC and Japan

Sep 30, 3:22pm

what does Vegas have as odds for UCF to win the big 12?

TFL

Sep 26, 5:19pm

Vegas trumps any computer

Medute

Sep 26, 6:23pm

You should totally start planning the parade already!

JohnnyComeLately

Sep 26, 6:30pm

I've seen quite a few things saying that Utah is the favorite to win the BIG12.

Powerbait DPM

Sep 26, 2:33pm

Exactly. Utah has been through this before so we are not naïve enough to assume it happens but

TFL

Sep 26, 5:20pm

I feel like most pundits now clearly have Utah as the Big 12 favorite

krindorr

Sep 26, 2:35pm

i’m in your camp. Would love to see both of them compete for the title. In a conference

TFL

Sep 26, 5:22pm

DelUsional.

Abe Froman

Sep 26, 1:21pm

is Utah not top 10? What percentage of projections

TFL

Sep 26, 2:26pm

Utah is not "the hands down favorite for the CCG”.

Abe Froman

Sep 26, 2:30pm

What other two teams are?

TFL

Sep 26, 5:25pm

Only top 2 make the College Championship Game.

Blue Heart

Sep 26, 3:09pm

CCG means conference championship game in this case.

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 3:35pm

Thank you for the clarification

Blue Heart

Sep 26, 3:44pm

Yeah and if I’m wrong and he’s talking about the natty, then I’d wholly agree with you.

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 3:50pm

If he said B12 CCG I would not have questioned it

Blue Heart

Sep 26, 3:57pm

Yes, no one is talking about the NC. CCG = Big 12 title game. For Utah, making the playoffs by winning that game

TFL

Sep 26, 5:43pm

About as much of a favorite as BYU is right now

2FarGone

Sep 26, 1:50pm

Not really:

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 2:16pm

Yes, let's point to the people that have been completely wrong about BYU in ever

slatecoug

Sep 26, 2:21pm

If you’re talking about who is the “favorite,” then it’s pretty cut and dry. That doesn’t mean a team

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 3:34pm

I'm talking about the people that put out the odds for things like that.

slatecoug

Sep 26, 3:47pm

I’m telling you that when someone says that such and such team is “the favorite,” they are talking about Vegas odds.

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 3:50pm

Thank you for clarifying the obvious that everyone on here already knows.

slatecoug

Sep 28, 3:17pm

ESPN FPI gives UCF a better chance of playoffs and by inference CCG than Utah

Here's a little more perspective. Cam will not play unless he feels 100%. He

Wow, a near decapitation, huh? Like nearly headless Nick?

Total hyperbole. It was a crazy hit though

Medute

Sep 26, 1:02pm

Commentary is funny

Carnac

Sep 26, 1:52pm

Nerve damage? From a laceration? Seems like a nasty laceration? Did they have to irrigate it and wash it out?

Littlerich

Sep 26, 12:41pm

Having a hard time gripping and throwing the ball

Medute

Sep 26, 1:03pm

He could have a tendon pulley injury as well which would impact the flexor tendons

Littlerich

Sep 26, 1:29pm

I wouldn’t dare reveal who I talked to

Medute

Sep 26, 1:40pm

I would think with the lack of grip strength they would get an MRI to assess the nerve and tendon/pulleys

Littlerich

Sep 26, 1:46pm

My son was out of pitching for 3 weeks due to blisters on his finger. Maybe

Uno Doctoro

Sep 26, 2:35pm

‘It was mishandled so poorly.’ So….you're saying it was handled well?

m0resn0w

Sep 26, 3:37pm

Definitely mishandled and yes Utah and whit screwed him over on that one.

BYU '80

Sep 26, 4:11pm

This is accurate.

Nerve damage even in the hand takes a long time to heal

cougarmeister

4-0 and ranked #10

We know what their record is, but expectations have definitely lowered.

This team is really good. I’m not sure what you mean

Here's your chance, BigUte!

Utah needs to move on. Guy is made of glass. Finger lac and you’re out a month? K bye thanks for the good times.

Virginia Ute

I love Cam. It’s not like he didn’t try

Medute

Sep 26, 1:05pm

I don’t know what he’s doing other than collecting a check and not playing for 2 straight years. Time to move on.

This is a real problem. Whittingham and Kalani are 2 of the worst ones too

The money has already been spent

Sep 26, 1:41pm

I agree that would be the ideal situation. I just get tired of rooting for it and then getting let down every week.

Virginia Ute

Sep 26, 1:43pm

Blame the coaches. I don’t think it has anything to do with Cam

Medute

Sep 26, 2:21pm

It's not the coaches' fault he was reckless on that play, though.

CLCougar

If he was almost decapitated by USC, wait for either him or little Wilson when

Rocketman

Sep 26, 2:09pm

Point is it’s a terrible investment. The guy has been injured every year

BYU '80

Sep 26, 4:09pm

Consider it payment for past success. I’m pretty stoked about the two

Medute

Sep 26, 6:26pm

Past achievements (2-3 years) maybe although you won both times with four losses

BYU '80

Sep 26, 7:07pm

Just saying if you look back at Utah for the last 10 years

I think it’s great actually. Wilson getting valuable reps while Rising gets healthy
