Rising still out this week

Is it because of uno doctoro again?

RE: Is it because of uno doctoro again?

Uno Doctoro

Sep 26, 1:12pm

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

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

Mike Honcho

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

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

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

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.

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

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

is this "gamesmanship"? Maybe it really will be Cam now.

It's A Bowling Ball

Sep 26, 12:19pm

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

Man he must've been dryer than the grand canyon down there

Fifita better be throwing jump balls to Tmac all night. I smell an upset. UofA’s

Sep 26, 12:36pm

Arizona is a dangerous team. Utah will have to play very well to beat them. I

Jdoc

Sep 26, 12:39pm

Agreed. Also very nervous for the game against them in LES. Their offense is

bigbossbyu

Sep 26, 12:41pm

Not a chance. AZ is massively overrated. Utah wins in a blowout.

rad dawg

Sep 26, 12:42pm

Even when UofA hasn’t been good, they typically play the Utes well. Anything

bigbossbyu

Sep 26, 12:46pm

Utes win by 21+....Kyle doesn't forget and that D is elite. AZ defense is bad

kansascougar

Sep 26, 2:50pm

Utah's weakness on D is their corners. Arizona has a very good qb and a great

Jdoc

Sep 26, 2:58pm

Didn’t look elite against usu. haven’t played a good offensive team yet

BYU '80

Nah. Arizona isn’t good.

It's pretty awesome how much they've paid him to not play.
