Hi Tony!  Since the UVA-Va Tech game had been cancelled, were you going to just throw that game out of your contest?  Or were you planning on replacing it with another one?

…”365 Sports” show, and lying through his teeth — desperately trying to make ybU-p look like they’re a major brand.  Here’s some quotes…

“Stanford is a rival of BYU’s in terms of recruits.”

Does Stanford know this?  I remember back when I was a student at the U — straddling our WAC/MWC years, where the zoobs were claiming they were…[Read more]

…but the only Pac-12 schools being mentioned now are UWa, Ore, Stan, and Cal.  Which is all the more reason why the Pac-12 will need to raid the Big 12 in order to survive.  
By the looks of things, all the premier Pac-12 and Big 12 teams will inevitably wind up in the same conference anyway, so it makes more sense to induce them to join us…[Read more]

…to the #2-seeded Robert Morris University, in the conference tournament championship game, in a HARD fought OT game!
Utah led for most of the game, but a 5-goal 3rd-Qtr gave RMU a 14-13 lead heading into the final quarter of play.  While Utah would outscore RMU 4-2 over the next 14-min, RMU was able to find the back of the net with just 55-sec…[Read more]

…in the ASUN conference semifinals.
Utah gave up 5 goals in the 3rd-Qtr, allowing the Knights to start the 4th-Qtr with a 9-8 lead.  After trading scores in the 4th, Bellarmine scored again, to take an 11-10 lead with only 48-sec remaining in the game.  
And then Bradbury saved the day….finding the back of the net as time expired.
The…[Read more]

…next month, in Huntsville, AL, via eking out a narrow 12-11 win over Bellarmine (4-11) in Lexington [KY] this morning.
Utah is currently sitting one spot outside of the “Inside Lacrosse” poll.  A win today should have been enough for us to slide back into it, but a 1-pt win over a .267 team isn’t a good look for us, and may provide an…[Read more]

Utah’s 18-8 win over Robert Morris today put us solidly in control of the conference race.  In the ASUN Lacrosse Preseason poll, AFA and RMU were projected to be our biggest challengers to win the conference, and having already beaten them both, the ASUN title is all but ours.
Up next:  @ Bellarmine
Technically, Bellarmine isn’t out of the title…[Read more]

…you might wanna steer clear of THIS place.  They’ll probably spit in your food!
From “Charlotte-Rose BBQ” [Millcreek, UT] restauranteur, Trae Eller…

“Typical Ute fan.  I’m from the SEC and until you played Alabama, no one even heard of y’all or your highschool [sic] stadium, commuter school fan base…..your fans don’t seem to know much…

After beating the [then 8th-ranked] Jacksonville Dolphins yesterday, the now 18th-ranked Utes (3-1) made program history via their first ever debut in the Top-20.
Jacksonville (5-2) dropped to #15, and losses by Denver and Georgetown last weekend dropped our only other ranked foes on our schedule to…[Read more]

After building up a comfortable 4-1 lead midway thru the 1st-Qtr, Utah (2-1) inexplicably let the Eagles back into the game.  At one point during the match, Marquette (1-2) even took the lead.  
Marquette managed to find the back of the net with 36-sec to play, to close the gap from 12-10 to 12-11, but Utah clamped down on Defense, and held on…[Read more]

…to beat Vermont in Montpelier in M-Lacrosse!  After leading 10-5 early in the 4th-Qtr, #17 UVM mounts a major comeback to tie it up.  But with just 88-sec remaining in the game, Utah finds the back of the net to go up 11-10, and then held on for the win.
GO UTES!!!

While all losses are disappointing, this one still reflected both a great effort by Utah, and a glimpse into the progress this program has been making over the past few years.  Recruiting is up, and elite programs like Denver have been taking notice.
Next week, we’ll be on the road at #17 Vermont.  If we play there like we’d played today, we just…[Read more]

I’ve gone through 3 different “Free” e-filing tax services (TaxSlayer, e-file.com, and TurboTax).  THEY’RE NOT FREE!  They only CLAIM they’re free, but after you’re done loading all your information, they require a fee.  I’ve worked in Finance and Tax for over 20-yrs.  I can do my own taxes.  I just need a platform to send it to the IRS, or else…[Read more]

ESPN’s Mark Schlabach’s “2022 Way-Too-Early college football top 25”

Looks like Draper H.S.’s 4-star QB decommitted from USC recently.  Anybody know why?  And does anybody know why Utah hadn’t recruited him?
