Greetings from Missouri! As always, I will be cheering on the Utes. (As some of you know, I never pick against our guys. Ever.)

I like our chances tonight, and I am still holding out hope that the Bad Moon rises. Someone commented on the full moon being a sign of good things to come. And why not? I think I also saw a Utah Football post about the…[Read more]

Greetings from Missouri!
Pretty excited about this game. Out here in SEC land, I have some Gator friends, so a win by our guys would be excellent.
As some of you might recall, I never pick against the Utes. I’m going with 41-24. Utes win convincingly, and the Gators get their last touchdown in garbage time.
Go UTES!

Tough game. But I’m not disappointed with the team. These are good guys. These are our guys. They sacrificed many hours; they sacrificed their bodies; they put their future health on the line. We have been the beneficiaries of their extraordinary work and dedication. They got outplayed tonight, and a few things didn’t go their way. It…[Read more]

Like a lot of you, I have had high hopes. This team looked like it could be the one. We knew there were question marks—we knew the first three games had not answered all of the questions—but there was reason to hope for good things.
There is still reason to hope.
Tonight was tough. Frustrating. We were one or two yards from two touchdowns, and…[Read more]

On days like this, I envy those of you who live in Utah (or who are otherwise able to travel to the game). It has been many years since I attended a game against BYU. I’ve lived in Missouri for more than twenty years, and, while I have traveled to the games out here in the midwest, I have never been back for the BYU game.
I’ll be watching, of…[Read more]

So, I’ve been thinking about popping into Salt Lake City for the Red-White game on Saturday. (I thought it would be cool to drag my dad out to the game again this year.) The weather looks a little dicey, but Saturday looks like it might be reasonably clear.
Any experts here with a prognostication about the chances of having a decent football day?

Five more wins, and this year becomes historic.

Defense did enough in this game. Offense dropped the ball. Covey gets honorable mention for being tough as nails and taking shot after shot after shot. It’s a good thing we have a bye–Covey is going to need some time to recover.
Some nights, the stars are not aligned, and this was one of those nights. So many mistakes at critical moments. A team…[Read more]

Last week I took my crew up to the NIU game. We had a great time. It certainly wasn’t the most exciting game, and at times it was a bit aggravating, but we had a great time cheering on the Utes.
I’m still in the optimist club for this team. I think the first two games did not show us much, and I think that was largely by design. Nevertheless, the…[Read more]

I’m not sure I’ve ever had a six-hour stretch that has been as unproductive as the last six hours.
Except for maybe last year about this time. 🙂
This is a great time. Looking forward to a great game. I will be at the Northern Illinois game next Saturday, and some of you can be jealous of me.
Go UTES!

Here’s a thought for those who cannot make the game: sponsor a first responder. I was just checking out tickets, and I noticed that people can buy a ticket for a first responder for $15. I think it’s a good cause, and it might help fill some seats.

I am thinking about heading down, and I hope to see a lot of Ute fans there.
