We beat USC by what, about 11 points at their place earlier this season? We are playing better than then also? No reason we can’t blow them out. Let’s do it.

Tony (admin) replied to the topic Larry's interview after the CU game, worth a listen. in the forum Basketball (Men) 9 years, 5 months ago

I finally checked it out. Heard part of it in the car on the way home from the game.

I do like his honesty and candidness though I still think it’s weird they didn’t “think about” winning the Pac-12 championship.

I got 3 out of 4 in the first round. Not sure why the hell I picked UCLA, because they suck.

Tony (admin) started the topic Utes will be taking on USC in the forum Basketball (Men) 9 years, 5 months ago

USC is up by 20 with 5 minutes left over UCLA.

USC does not scare me at all. We “should” be able to handle them.

Game time will be Thursday at 7PM MST.

Just posted this in a couple of Facebook groups…

How funny is this?

“I worry that athletics takes a superior position to academics,” said Rep. Daniel McCay, R-Riverton.

Then our guard Brandon Taylor (you know, the guy who was sucker punched by a byu player) wins the Pac-12 athlete scholar of the year. Put this in your pipe and smoke it,…[Read more]

Fixed the title.

Hope CBS is right.

Tony (admin) started the topic Comments About Runnin' Utes Senior Night in the forum Basketball (Men) 9 years, 5 months ago

I’ve been going to Utah football and basketball games since the 70’s with my dad. Been there in the best and the worst times.

During senior night I was very emotional. Watching these players like Loveridge and Taylor, who joined the Utes in the team’s darkest times perhaps ever, over the last four years has been a thrill. These guys helped…[Read more]

Strong case.

Tony (admin) replied to the topic Pac-12 Tournament Bracket and Picks in the forum Basketball (Men) 9 years, 5 months ago

Shall we do picks one round at a time or do the whole bracket? Like March madness I’m going to do the whole bracket:

Round 1: Stanford, Colorado, UCLA, Oregon State
Round 2: Oregon, Arizona, Utah, Cal
Round 3: Oregon, Utah
Round 4: Utah (want to beat Oregon badly)

Tony (admin) replied to the topic Oregon at USC in the forum Pac-12 9 years, 5 months ago

Well hell.

Hate to say it, but the 4 missed FT’s at the end of the 1st Stanford game and the .1 second half court Taylor foul cost us the P-12 championship.

That said, Taylor has really turned it around. Maybe that foul was a blessing in disguise.

Tony (admin) replied to the topic Oregon at USC in the forum Pac-12 9 years, 5 months ago

Wow for the last 20 minutes or so while the lights have been out the Pac-12 announcers have been talking about the best teams in the Pac-12 and who has the best chance in the Pac-12 tournament. They didn’t even mention the Utes at all. Nothing. Funny that they can forget to mention the 2nd place team.

Tony (admin) started the topic Oregon at USC in the forum Pac-12 9 years, 5 months ago

Just tuned into the Oregon at USC game. The lights have gone off in the arena. It’s all black. Hopefully the lights aren’t out on USC.

Why aren’t they calling for the heads of ND athletic director Jack Swarbrick and coach Brian Kelly? These “antics” are an outrage!

Tony (admin) started the topic Senior Night – Runnin' Utes Host Colorado in the forum Basketball (Men) 9 years, 5 months ago

Sniff sniff. Final home game of the season. There’s still a chance for a share of the Pac-12 title with a victory and an Oregon loss at USC.

Hats off to the seniors who joined the team four years ago and helped build the team into what it is today.

See you up there.
