A friend suggested that the conference should poach the Big 12. Several are research universities with medical schools and good athletic departments, so they’d be good fits and are regionally more appropriate.
uteof replied to the topic Arnie Ferrin has passed away in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 year, 2 months ago
He was my first sports hero. My sister helped me make a scrapbook of the Utes at that time. When we moved back to Utah from Oklahoma in 1977 I got an appointment with him. We talked and I explained that the scrapbook was important to me, but I wanted him to have it. It was special to give it to him. He thanked me profusely and told me a fire had…[Read more]
uteof started the topic USC coach in the forum Football 1 year, 3 months ago
When I realized the USC head football coach was hired away from Oklahoma it all made sense. We lived in Oklahoma during the Switzer era and the program has been a disgusting show ever since. A representative of OU was caught having changed high school grade records of a recruit from south Texas to make him eligible. Switzer was said to be a…[Read more]

I felt certain that the good guys would win. I don’t know why, but I was sure about the outcome. When we lived in Texas there was a term describing last night: Utah opened a big can of whupass.

My spelling stinks today, so there are errors here. I only go back to the time when Vadal Petersen was the coach and Arnie Feron, Vern Gardner, Wat Misaka, Fred Weidner, Leon Watson played. I was the same year at the U as Billy McGill and watched him in each of his home games. I even climbed onto the roof from the inside and watched a football…[Read more]

I’ve loved the places in Mexico; St Thomas in the Virgin Islands; San German and San Juan, Puerto Rico. I loved the drive from Salt Lake to Anchorage 3300 wonderful, beautiful camping miles.

I’m not exactly computer illiterate, but close. Someone suggested Sling TV. What do I need? We have two people in our household working from home and it’s all internet work. Can I still use Sling?

He’s what we would have called a spherical butthead when I was in college. No matter how you look at him he’s still a butthead. Ok, I paraphrased to use “butthead”.

I’m at war with Comcast. Is there a way to watch Ute sports without using Dish or Comcast?
uteof replied to the topic University of Utah, Hall of Famer Larry Wilson died today in the forum Football 3 years, 6 months ago
I remember him, both as a Ute and in the NFL. He’s one of my favorite players of all time. He was considered the toughest player in the NFL. The safety blitz was designed for him. Helluva a player, good guy. I remember seeing him intercept a pass (NFL) with both hands in casts. Remarkable man. I have great memories. I can see his face in my mind.

I think I just moved it to “miscellaneous”. It’s in this category that most political trash appears. Thanks.
uteof replied to the topic Trouble in the forum Misc 3 years, 6 months ago
I think people who bring politics into this forum are assholes. I don’t care about your politics and don’t want to hear your snotty comments. This is a UTE forum where we talk about Utah sports and bitch and whine about other schools. If you want to talk politics go to some other site. That goes for implied stuff as well as explicit: demos this,…[Read more]

With all of the first string alll-conference players we had we should’ve won the conference championship. One of the announcers during the championship game said Utah was “out schemed”. To me that’s the same as out coached. I think he was right.

uteof replied to the topic O Line in the forum Football 4 years, 3 months ago
Two thoughts: 1) We don’t belong in the playoffs, 2) One announcer said we were out schemed. I read that as out coached. That’s accurate. The O line was poor, but it didn’t give up all the points. Oregon ran through our D line.
