I watched the game with my pop and my kids. My 8 and 4 year old boys were loving it, running around high-fiving and tackling each other. My dad and I kept looking at each other in disbelief. Good times.
A good friend of mine is from, and currently lives, in Irvine. He grew up a huge ‘SC fan. Generally he has been pretty dismissive of the Utes, even when they beat ‘SC last year. After the Oregon game I got a text from him that read:
Wow. you guys are good at football.
Yep. The country is taking notice. Now the Utes just gotta keep it going. Teams that can sling it, like Cal (or Wash. St.) always make me nervous. But I think the Utes get that one. If they can handle Az. St. for the first time, they will be on the way to a huge game against the Trojans.
“We got a pretty good football team, though, I’ll tell you that.”
