I agree with CCU, he has restored the class relationship between the two universities that McBride and Edwards established. Hard fought on the field and respectful off.
I want to beat the TDS as much as anyone but I can’t bring myself to disparage a bunch of kids who just want to play football or their coaches (when they aren’t acting the fool). I particularly appreciate the way they have responded to the TJ/AL tragedy. Very courteous and I attribute that to Coach Sitake.
As I have grown older I always try and hold down my sporting expectations and enjoy the moment. After all, a week ago some “expert” prognosticators were suggesting we might have an outside change of getting a bid to the December 15th Dr. Scholl’s Swollen Instep Bowl. What a difference a week makes. It will be interesting to see how the season and the post-season play out. In the meantime, I consider every opportunity to be with my family and watch my team play as a blessing and am always proud to say, Go Utes!
They are just voicing what many, many fans are feeling. Politics ruins everything it touches. Let’s agree to disagree in a civil manner. It is every individual’s right to express their own worldview. Including players and coaches. But let’s keep politics out of sporting events. It divides the community in an arena where we should be able to unite around our teams.
