Here in the blogging world of Utah, most blogs are friendly and work together. We all reserve the right to disagree, but try to treat each other nicely enough. I am sure there are some exceptions to this, but I have not personally dealt with them. So, in reading SLC dunk, I have decided to [...]
Utah Defense: More Suited for 3-4 or 4-3?
As much uncertainty as Dennis Erickson brings to the Utah offense, the defense has some questions of its own and some important holes to fill. One of those questions remains to be whether the defense will operate out of a base 4-3 or 3-4 defense. Coach Kyle Whittingham has been an advocate of the 4-3 [...]
Dennis Erickson Excited to be a Ute
Rumored for the past several days, the University of Utah made it official Monday when they announced Dennis Erickson as the Co-Offensive Coordinator.

Dennis Erickson: Imagine the Possibilities
According to reports, Kyle Whittingham interviewed Dennis Erickson on Tuesday, and has recently said that a coach will be hired in the next week.

Another chance for the basketball program to show that it is continually improving.However, after the last time the Utes had this opportunity they quickly lost 3 in a row. With the three losses climaxing in a huge loss [...]
Utah Utes: Rebuilding a College Basketball Program 101

Utah Utes Hoops: What Might Have Been
I flipped on ESPN this week and caught a portion of the Ole Miss/Kentucky game. What surprised me more than the fact that the Rebels have a quality basketball team, ranked in the top 25, is the name of their leading scorer: Marshall Henderson. Wait. The same Marshall Henderson who lead the University of Utah [...]
Time for a change in the Utes organization
It’s time to fire some people in the Utes organization…some ‘fans’. You know who you are, and I’m calling you out, so if it’s uncomfortable or makes you angry, feel free to stop reading, or send me the same rambling comments that you blather on with to anyone that will listen. Nothing in the sports [...]
Utah Utes: Bandwagon Bleeding
I was going to write about how the Utes have lost some support, but had stopped the bleeding with the win over Washington. Then this last week happened. To paint a picture of the game, look at these quotes: “This is rock-bottom for me. This is the lowest I’ve felt since I took over. We [...]
