      Erroll Tucker – In 1985, he led the nation in kick and punt returns. He, also, had two or three pick sixes. He was electric.

      Britain Covey – Dude was a baller and a really nice guy. It felt like he played for 13 years at Utah and he still had a year of eligibility left.

      Eric Weddle – He did everything.

      Luther Ellis – Great leader and put Utah on the map defensively in the early 90s.

      Honorable mentions: Alex Smith, Kareem Leary, Shakey Smithson, Ty Jordan, Devin Lloyd, Mike Fouts, Kevin Dyson, Louie Sakoda, Mitch Wishnowski, Quinton Ganther, Barry Sims, Reggie Dunn, Dustin Hensel, Sheldon Deckart, Matt Gay, Tom Hackett and . . . Manny Hendrix, CJ Cron, Kyle Kuzma and Andre Miller (LOL).

      Every BYU loss since the 1998 Kanashiro doink. 

      The 2010 TCU game sucked. 

      2022 & 2023 Rose Bowls

      Everything came crashing down in the 3rd quarter of the 2018 Holiday Bowl v. Northwestern.

      1992 Copper Bowl v. Washington State (Yergenson missed a short kick to tie it at the end.)

      If I remember right, Utah was in the running for a Bowl game (the Utes hadn’t been to a bowl game since ’64) in 1985 and then we went to Colorado State and lost 21-19. I believe we had a chance to kick a field goal to win it at the end, but not dice.

      7. Emily Venters recently ran (3/31/23) the 6th fastest women’s 10k (31:48) in NCAA history. 

      8. It’s always a good time to be a Ute. 

      Gotta give it up to the track runners. That is not an easy sport.

      Dameon Hunter had great 2001. He just wasn’t around long enough to accumulate bigger career stats.

      Larry Egger and Randy Gomez (that 23-22 win over the Cougs in ’78 was epic).

      60 points between the three of them . . . Not too shabby.

      I was at that game as well. We were going crazy on those old wooden bleachers in the north end zone. Not a lot of people stuck around for that great finish.
