If you guys really try to hang on to Rising after this year

I hope we just go with Wilson. Even so, I

Garff, Eccles and Huntsman money drying up already?

Do you not have any hope that Morgan Scalley will continue to be successful?

Knight-who-says-ni

Oct 14, 2:06pm

I think Morgan is a good coach. Yet to be seen if he will be a good head coach.

Jdoc

Oct 14, 2:21pm

I worry that they take a hard run at Jay Hill if Scalley doesn't work out year 1

YankeeCoug

Oct 14, 2:33pm

I think Scalley will be given 3-4 years. That puts it 4-5 years out for us.

runnincoug

I really hope you are right...

YankeeCoug

Scalleywag has a minimum of 3yrs

Especially because he'll do well enough to give them continual hope that true

My best to you. Fandom is hard. You're a good dude.

If they hang on to Rising they’ll keep falling. Stick with Wilson.

ImuaKahuku

Oct 14, 7:05pm

Maybe, we'll see. I do think the whole Cam Rising thing has been handled

kimdaddy35

Oct 14, 1:29pm

There will be a drop off when Kyle retires. I think that will happen at the end

Jdoc

You always have women's gymnastics

I don’t think so. Change is good for a program. It just seems like the whole

I think Scalley could actually rejuvenate the program a bit. I think he will be

I think Morgan is a good coach and will do fine, but there will be a drop of in

Jdoc

Oct 14, 1:34pm

Why do you think that?

The 435

Oct 14, 2:58pm

Because replacing a legend without drop off is nearly impossible. See LaVell

Big Daddy D

Oct 14, 8:21pm

Oh I meant why does he think this is Whit’s last year

I think how well they do hiring Whitt's successor will be massive

Jdoc

Oct 14, 1:35pm

should win the next 2 with or without a QB, 6-2?? could be a bit worse, like

franklyvulgar

Oct 14, 1:34pm

Should win the next too. The last 4 will be pretty tough. 2-2 would be a good

Jdoc

Oct 14, 1:36pm

i think you finish with 3 or 4 total losses, not bad considering not having a QB

franklyvulgar

Oct 14, 1:42pm

Four losses including the bowl loss is the gold standard for Utah football

Greg4BYU

Oct 14, 4:23pm

I think they need to turn the page for good on Rising. Wilson is very talented

rivercitycoug

Oct 14, 1:34pm

Wilson keep y’all relevant for awhile. He looks to be a pretty good college QB

Squirt

Unless he decides to jump off the sinking pirate ship and go elsewhere

WDaddy

Utah enjoyed 11 years of being in a power conference over us...

Coug

Oct 14, 1:42pm

everything goes in waves. Utah is ending the best football run in their history

Cougarclaw

Oct 14, 1:52pm

I appreciate a Ute with open-minded takes on his program. My thoughts ...

runnincoug

Oct 14, 1:55pm

I agree with all of your points.

Jdoc

Oct 14, 2:01pm

I'm not sure BYU will be a whole lot better TBH, so rivalry games will be epic.

runnincoug

Oct 14, 2:07pm

Yes. Rivalry games should be fun, but I wouldn't be surprised if BYU starts to

CougfromtheSouth

Oct 14, 1:59pm

Nah...BYU fans have been saying this since 2004. Utah will be fine.

TFL

Oct 14, 2:01pm

Utah had a clear financial and recruiting advantage for over a decade, and

ldssdl

Oct 14, 2:11pm

Like I said, every year for the past 20 years, including Utah's invite to the Pac-12, BYU fans

TFL

Oct 14, 2:18pm

I wasn't predicting a demise of the Utah program in any of those years.

ldssdl

Oct 14, 2:33pm

Yeah none of us really were but it's convenient for utes to misremember we were.

Brandoblueblood

Oct 14, 4:28pm

Because clearly BYU cannot or will not recruit non LDS athletes.

WillsPitStop

Oct 14, 3:36pm

Hasn't BYU done better now with the TP and the Big 12? It's more the naive assumption

TFL

Oct 14, 3:47pm

QB recruiting is considered a strength at Utah? I’ll give you TE, but given your

ldssdl

Oct 14, 4:34pm

Compare Utah recruiting at QB 10 years ago or 5 years ago, to the last 3-4

TFL

Oct 14, 5:35pm

I guess if all you care about is recruiting stars, then sure.

TFL

Typical yewt fan, I literally didn’t say any of those things.

ldssdl

Oct 15, 12:35pm

To answer your question, BYU has a great thing going. Hopefully they continue to win and get to the CCG

TFL

Oct 15, 12:55pm

Like our starting and backup QBs

YOHONOMOTO

Oct 14, 6:40pm

Hahahahaha I love reading these messages from TFL... never give up TFL, don't be like the Utah basketball fans!

Atmospheric_Cougar

Oct 14, 4:40pm

I agree that they’ll be fine. But I don’t think they will differentiate themselves from any of the other Big 12 teams,

BYU Tar Heel

Oct 14, 7:51pm

Wow, I appreciate this honest opinion. Causes me to want to say: I hope things

Captain Barnacles

Oct 14, 2:09pm

I think each team is better when the other is at least decent

YankeeCoug

Oct 14, 2:35pm

seriously... the biggest problem BYU fans have with Utah is the obnoxious fans.

runnincoug

Oct 14, 2:56pm

Wrong. Utah sucks and I want them to suck more. But Jdoc is one of the good guys

Big Daddy D

Oct 14, 8:27pm

Don't worry Utah most teams have a hard time in 1st year of a power conference

They will still be a pretty good football team. I wouldn't count them out by any

Embrace the light, Jdoc. Convert to BYU fandom.

Brandoblueblood

Oct 14, 2:47pm

This really is the best solution

SV72 Sale

I think we might be writing off Utah a bit too soon.

SouthernCoug

Oct 14, 2:54pm

Agree ... too soon

ElmerAlbert

Oct 14, 4:05pm

Who is writing them off? But Ute fans saying Utah will never dip and go through tough years is the delusional viewpoint.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Oct 14, 4:42pm

Nope. Dance on their grave.

Brandoblueblood

eyeroll for the yahtzee

Spiff

I think its overstated. Utah will be fine. Maybe not great but...

DazeofBlue

Oct 14, 4:03pm

I appreciate your objective thoughts. Three reasons things may be different now:

seacougar

Oct 14, 4:20pm

They are a QB away from being a good team

deljdc

Oct 14, 4:20pm

I think they will do fine. They will never be as big as their X.com fans say they will be, but will always compete.

AltTabbins

Oct 14, 4:25pm

Admitting that about many in your fanbase earns a lot of good will.

LateToTheGame

Oct 14, 4:32pm

good luck with that (on both sides)

franklyvulgar

Oct 14, 4:51pm

So you are saying they went with some nice light blocking curtains for RES then?

You are way too logical. LOL

Hang in there, Jdoc! One day, another BYU great will coach at Utah and raise them from the ashes!

Good post JDOC. I’d love for this to go back to a spirited rivalry without all of the cultural insults.

Nah, y'all will be fine once you get into the Big 10.

I respect Jdoc and few other Ute posters, but I want the U to suck so bad. I want it for all the crap they have done...
