      I don’t know any of those without looking them up. I should know the kickers name though but I’m drawing a blank.

      I remember listening to Utah radio pregame shows back in the 80s.  People would be calling in with their game predictions, and each one would say “Utah by 5.”

      It was a cool thing we had going but you never hear it anymore.

        That’s cool. I didn’t know that. I’ve seen a user name Utesby5. Now I know where it comes from.

      1. The umbrella man was a transplant to Utah who became a huge Utah football fan during the drought years.  He sat in section C.  He brought an umbrella and would open it up and raise it up and down to get the fans going.

      2. Local radio host Tom Barberi would always pick Utah by 5.

      3. Yergensen kicked a 55 yard FG for the first of our 34-21 victories.

      4. The largest margin in a Utah win happened just a decade ago – 54-10.

      5. Randy Gomez was the QB in 1978 and through a 19 yard TD pass late in the game for the 23-22 win.

        And if anyone listens to local SLC Radio From Hell X96 Gina Barberi is Tom Barberi’s daughter.
