Superstition be Damned, and so against a very odd superstition I inherited from my old man (God rest his soul) I’m wearing all my Utes gear today to try and switch things up for this long season’s finale. Anyone else on the Ute Hub board got interesting game day superstitions, and if so, anyone like me switching them up today?

And as always, Go Utes!

So my opinion of this season is that if CR was truly the Alpha Male that KW always said he was in that not only was he the best player at his position that he also made everyone else better that the coaches bet too much on an often and seriously injured player to play all season and elevate the overall team…having said that, I’m very glad that…[Read more]

The entire ESPN Game Day crew save Herbstreit picked BYU, with Herbstreit noting that rivalry games like this is what CFB is all about. Good omen?

First, Utah always seems to have at least one “WTF” loss per season, with the exceptions of 2004 and 2008, and in 2008 there were games that…[Read more]

From Monday’s USA Today article “College football Week 4 overreactions”:

Just send the Big 12 trophy to Utah

With the win at Oklahoma State in the bank and the Sunflower State contenders fading, the Utes are clearly in the driver’s seat in their new conference at this early juncture. The remainder of their schedule looks quite manageable with o…[Read more]

I like that OSU is favored to win, should add a bit more motivation for our Utes!
