So the pecking order in the state of Utah this year is:

Utah
UVU
BYU-P
Utah St./SUU

Sounds about right.

I’m going to go with:

Villanova
Kansas
Virginia
Kin-tucky

Or do I have the wrong sport?

Mark Helfrich is now available. 😉

This might be the best post I’ve ever read on a Utah message board.

A couple less-than-obvious ones:

2003 Utah St. – Urban’s first game as head coach. The beginning of a new trajectory for the program.
2011 USC – For the reasons @BulgieUte said above.
1995 Air Force – My first-ever Utah game as a new arrival on campus. Utah with the comeback to win by 1, and I was hooked. Other than my mission years, haven’t…[Read more]

@pedro Couldn’t agree more on that last point. Yesterday I was in a car with a coworker (Utah fan), and during our 15 minute drive, he blamed the loss on “running the ball too much on first down”, and minutes later “going away from the run.”

You’re as real as it gets. Happy Veterans Day to you and all the other…[Read more]

I think we already had our WTF game against Cal.

That said, I do fear we come out rusty and fall behind early. We just had our bye week (granted, so did ASU) and we’re getting a number of key players back who haven’t played a snap of real football in weeks. I just hope they get up to game speed quickly.

They suck.

Now that game 7 has come and gone (congrats, Cubs!) in such a dramatic fashion, baseball fans have got to be dreading the offseason. But have no fear – I think pitchers and catchers report next week. 😉

Sorry baseball fans…just having a little fun with ya. But seriously, what a game last night!

USC 27

@Larry B

I disagree about the punt – he got off a great punt. The problem was it was too great. When I saw it leave his foot I said to my neighbor “uh oh, he just outkicked his coverage.” Sure enough…

Kentucky basketball?

Your avatar is amazing! Is that what a romantic night in Seattle looks like?
