The Miami Ute

You forgot to debunk Point 3. But I’m guessing that you just skipped it for obvious reasons. And about the shoe…it’s not only the size but the make and model of the shoe that are incriminating.

It’s a done deal….Pope is LDS but he did graduate from UK and had a couple of pretty good seasons for the WIldcats (team captain when the Wildcats won the NCAA championship in 96). Makes sense to me.

That whole thing is an interesting study into human psychology. Naming your team after an American Indian tribe and honoring their contributions to the state’s history is offensive but a bunch of WASP football players doing the haka isn’t?

Ponder this:

1. Simpson did not testify at his criminal trial. Defense attorneys will almost always call as a witness an articulate client that they believe to be innocent.

2. Subsequent to the trial defense attorneys talking about the trial have been careful to say “the jury did the right thing,” while not stating that Simpson was in fact…[Read more]

Yeah, I saw that when it came out…for those of us who lived through that whole OJ saga as sentient members of the human race, I still can’t believe that OJ beat that rap.

LOL…just the usual suspects…those who list their occupation as “professionally offended.”

I just read a Mercury News article on OJ Simpson and the writer also mentioned how OJ almost went to Utah before deciding on USC.

Well, there’s been the Jazz, the Starzz, the Buzz, the Pioneerzz, and even the team store, Fanzz. Why not get another team with “ZZ” in the logo.

Personally, I like Yeti…I think it’s a name that could build a cult following like the Kraken in Seattle. It’s original and I can really see some marketing opportunities. I also like Golden Eagles but just down the road you have the Golden Knights…a lot of gold on !-15.

Frank Seravalli Reports “90-95%” Likelihood That The Arizona Coyotes Relocate To Salt Lake City

Well, I’m wondering what the new name for the team will be. I’m reading a lot of support online for the SLC Yeti…

It’s not likely because even if Meruelo wins that public auction for the piece of land on which to build a new arena, there’s no way that the NHL is going to sign off on three more seasons at Mullett Arena. In the parlance of the street, “they gone”…

Thanks for bringing that up. It’s definitely a true story that very little people know about.

Simpson nearly the Utes’ black eye

Ditto…I set my calendar by Florida Panthers’ games. It’s another one of those sports that’s fast moving but within a constrained time limit. I used to be a HUGE baseball fan but I’ve lost all interest in the sport within the last five years.

I’d take him…he’s a guy who’s played major minutes in a top program…beggars can’t be choosy…and, given the current landscape in college sports, it’s all about winning right now rather than falling in love with every player we have or can get.

I remember that…I believe the exact number was 253 LOL..it looked like you were harvesting down votes…

I disagree with your comments about MDUte. Whoever he is, he provides more useful content than 90 percent of the people who frequent this site. Just because you got into a pissing contest with him, doesn’t mean that you can expect everybody here to support your ban campaign. I remember that something similar happened to me a few months ago and…[Read more]

Last year, I bought a pair of UA Utah Utes shoes because UA is the only company that manufactures legit Utah gear. Well, suffice it to say that, other than to try them on, I’ve never worn them and they’re still in the original box in my closet for all the reasons you illustrated. Thank God I got them at a massive discount otherwise I’d be double bummed.

I’ve been hoping against hope that Utah would leave UA and go to Adidas. Adidas does the uniforms and fan apparel for a large number of college teams to include Miami (that’s how I know), Washington, Nebraska, ASU, Kansas, Louisville, Indiana, NC State, A&M, and I could go on…

Yes, I meant of the current team.
