    Him or Him, 2017 edition

    A few weeks to go until fall camp and things start to pick back up around here. Good a time as any to play 'Him or Him?'

    If youre new or need a refresher:

    I will get us started at the bottom of this post with two figures in Utah history. The first responder picks who they would take, why, and then leaves their own 'Him or Him'. So on and so on. This can be male, female, athlete, coach, admin, fan, inanimate object, etc. Discussion is great and just have fun!


    Jordan Gross or Garrett Boles?

  2. #2
    I would take Gross because he has proven his ability as a player over time. Bolles still has a lot to do.

    David Collette or Mitch Smith?

  3. #3
    I take Mitch Smith - loved his nastiness and work ethic. If Collette has a monster senior year I'd give this more thought because Smith wasn't Smith his senior year. Some of you may recall recent article where he admitted how he still feels badly that he played poorly his senior year and blamed himself (partly) for Coach Archibald's dismissal.

    Scott Mitchell or Alex Smith?

    Scott Mitchell or Alex Smith?
    Alex Smith

    He had the entire package, and he's just so damn smart...and he's a winner.

    I like Scott, and his numbers were good, but he wasn't anywhere near as successful as Alex. Alex actually has better yards per attempt and far better TD/Turnover ratio. (And much higher passer ratings)

    MyKayla Skinner or Missy Marlowe

    Missy. She was six years older than me, and you can do the math for my age when she was at the U and plastered all over SLC. Plus, Olympics, which MyKayla can't say yet.

    Roy Jefferson or Larry Wilson?

    Wilson. He's in the pro football Hall of Fame. That's all I need, although Roy had a great pro career and should be in the college football HOF.

    Here's another one from the way-back machine: Dave Costa or Manny Fernandez?

    Tom Hackett or Mitch Wishnowsky?

    Hey...mine didn't even get answered...wait a sec...who blocked other posters from seeing my posts? Have I reached that level?
    “It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    When in doubt, blame Moose.

    Ill go Mitch because I cant see him ever getting on the radio and asking a guy who has signed a LOI how solid his commitment to Utah is.

    Brent Casteel or Dres Anderson?

    Dres was fun. Casteel had that edge to him that we haven't seen very much from many of our skill position players (giving the finger to the UNM defender en route to a 13-10 win). But Dres, when healthy had some pretty spectacular catches. So I'll give him the edge. Did you know his dad was Flipper Anderson?

    Devonte Booker or Juan Blanco IV

    Dres was also in the PAC-12.

    And Casteel was surrounded by "lesser" talent. This is the stupidest rebuttal ever.

    I am reporting all of you to the admins for ruining this game!!! (Seriously though, this is why I start these threads. Great debate! We just need a new comp...)

    Joe or Dave Kruger?

    Easy choice. Herrion essentially died on the field while competing for a roster spot at the bottom of the NFL food chain.

    So, BJ was a worse QB than Wilson?

    Also, I'd bet that Dres faced much better DB's than Castell overall.

    Also, I think I counted 18 Utes on the 2008 team that went on to play in the NFL. So...uh...stupid huh? Lol.

    You're unbelievably daft. I said what I did about "lesser" talent and Casteel to underscore how stupid your "Des played in the Pac-12" take was.

    I......I.........I..........give up.

    Greg Bird hit on Shaky punt return versus Unlv in 2010 or Travis Wilson laying out cal linebacker in 2012?

    Careful guys. Don't want to make Mr. mad. . .



    Travis, because you just don't expect that from a galloping giraffe.

    Bird hit. That return nearly went for a TD.

    Manny, for the cool two-sports story.

    Kyrylo Fesenko or Kosta Koufus?

    And I showed how stupid your post was.

    So daft man, you're saying Wilson was a better QB than BJ, right?
