The Utes technically had a game Sunday night against the Stanford Cardinal. They physically showed up, the ball was tipped and 40 minutes of basketball were played, but that’s about it. The turnovers continued and the uninspired play was in full force. As someone who supports Larry Krystkowiak and believes he can turn around the [...]
Utah Basketball: The Process of Rebuilding a Program
Utah’s move into the PAC-12 has been well documented locally and it seems to be getting to the point of being overstated. Yeah the schools are more prestigious, the athletic programs are at a much higher level, and yes, we know that the conference is home to much better athletes than the Mountain West Conference. [...]
BYU Spoiler Alert: No Dancing
Attention all Cougar fans: this is a spoiler alert. BYU is not as good as you thought they were, as was illustrated last night in the 83-63 pounding they took against Gonzaga in Spokane. I have heard various types of chatter around my parts (Orem) that BYU was the second best team in the WCC. [...]
Runnin’ Utes: Hope for the Future
How refreshing does today feel Utah fans? If you worked today (and I did) you were able to walk into the office with head high. The Runnin’ Utes were finally able to win their first road PAC-12 game. After this win, Utah fans have a few reasons to be excited for now and the future. [...]
Blame Rose
The Cougars lost a heartbreaker last night in the Marriot Center dropping to St. Mary’s 70-69 on a last second 40 foot Hail Mary shot. No one likes to watch their team lose, but this particular loss left me physically ill and wondering what went wrong. Luckily I was so upset that I didn’t sleep [...]
Was The Big Migration Really Worth It
Just a few years ago both BYU and The University of Utah were big fish in the little pond of the Mountain West conference. Fast forward two years and both are out of the Mountain West, and floundering to make a presence in the big ocean of college football. For example, if I told you [...]
Trading One Scapegoat For Another
I could begin with plenty of redundant statements about BYU’s offense the last two years under Brandon Doman, particularly the recently completed 2012 season. Without elaborating too much, it was terrible. Absolutely terrible. It also made a gut wrenching appearance into the BYU record books. The worst offensive performance since the 2003 3-0 Holy War [...]
Utah Utes: Go Big and Go Young
Last year the Utes basketball team sucked. The Runnin’ Utes had no bounce in their step as they only won 6 games last season. However, with all the losses the Utah fans rarely felt the sting of defeat as the losses were expected. This year, to most fans surprise, the Utes are competing. They came [...]
WCC Power Rankings
In my humble opinion, the West Coast Conference is underrated. If it weren’t for Gonzaga, you wouldn’t see any mention of the WCC anywhere in national sports news. Granted, it is a little top heavy with Gonzaga, St Mary’s, and BYU, but the league has more parity than people realize. That being said, here is [...]
Playing Jenga with the Utah Utes
Do you remember the fun game Jenga where you have a tower of rectangualr pieces. Everyone takes a turn removing pieces until it falls over. Most people have played this game in their lives. The best part of the game is where the tower is swaying multiple ways about to fall. All the players sit [...]
