Do coaches count? If so, then Majerus will always be my favorite Runnin’ Ute. Foul-mouthed, fat prick that he was, he also loved his players even when he hated them, and was the coach throughout my time at the U.
Otherwise, favorite as a Ute would be KVH. I was friends with a couple of guys on the team and got a chance to hang out with him a few times in ’96 and ’97. Played some great games as a Ute and definitely was the main reason those teams got as far as they did.
