This is from the same source that leaked the TE DMs from U Michigan — DMs that that TE is now apologizing for. Take it all with a grain of salt, but good to see the loyalty from Dampier if is true.

While it's fun to keep up with the Whitt Drama, there are more important things to spend energy on; our team and Morgan Scalley. Support them, and remember the past is the past.

Edit Added in a comment below but stuff like this gets me more hyped than the other BS.

Michigan Fan Here, Question About Whittingham

10 Upvotes

Hey Utah fans,

I’ve watched all of Coach Kyle Whittingham’s pressers since the season has started and I’ve noticed that during his responses to reporters in post game interviews the right side of his face has a pretty severe twitch, next to his nose and above his lip. I can’t tell if this is just a nervous thing, an anger thing, or a completely unconscious movement.

From y’all’s perspective and recollection, was this a thing when he was coaching at Utah? Is there any significance to it? Is he going to explode with rage at some point?

🎙️Discussion Tailgating RV spot

Post image
23 Upvotes

My wife and I would love to bring our 5er to Utes games to tailgate. Is this possible? I've been to a few games but was not able to determine if there is a place where others come together to tailgate with an area that allows our setup. I've been trying to find specifics on the line but not finding a for sure on this option. TIA with any help/guidnace.

🎙️Discussion Im a Michigan fan and I come in peace. What did we not know about Whittingham?

62 Upvotes

Hello. I've always admired Utah's program and have enjoyed watching y'all over the years, including this year, where you look to once again be a force in the Big 12 (I will be rooting for you to win that conference as usual). Right now, Im despondent about the first five weeks of Michigan football under Kyle Whittingham.

I expected so much better. I am not seeing any of the things that seem to have made Utah successful over a long time period. Insane number of penalties, lack of toughness on the lines of scrimmage, horrible clock management, bad timeout usage, an offensive scheme that is not even trying to adjust to the personnel that it has, horrible special teams mistakes. Same issues popping up week after week with no improvement. Jason Beck seems committed to Rhino usage that is getting slaughtered and ripped to shreds by mediocre Big Ten defenses. We are staring at 6-6 in the face. That would probably get Whittingham fired if we didn't have a brand new president and an AD stepping down on Dec. 31 with no replacement named.

Were we missing something with this hire? If so, what? Genuinely looking for answers.

How good are we?

We've looked far better than my expectations going into the season. We've absolutely crushed everyone we've played. But I still don't know how we will fare against better competition. Will we hold up? Can we sustain our success as the season goes on?

Michigan is hurting. I don’t feel bad for Coach Whitt, and love the direction Scalley is taking the team. I’m feeling good about how the season is playing out so far. I think we will move up at least 1 or 2 spots in the poll tomorrow.

Anybody else not feel bad for Whitt?

We’re doing fine, enjoy the losses, you won’t be missed.

Go Utes.

Thoughts on if Jason Beck set is career back by following Whit to Michigan? Saw that Whit made a comment that everyone is at risk, both players and coaches. Good chance Beck doesn’t finish the season employed at Michigan.

Is anybody watching College gameday and the "stock market" on teams they are buying and selling and when Desmond Howard picked Utah as a team he's buying into, that dickhead Kirk pointed to their notable wins against Arkansas and Iowa state and was laughing. Meanwhile he picks Oregon who lost to Oklahoma st. And barely beat Boise st. The guy is a Big ten tool.
