Note that parking is free for ticket holders in the lot NE of the Delta Center. Hope to get a good crowd.

Worth noting Hawaii’s 5-0 record doesn’t include an exhibition loss (by 34) to St. Mary’s (who we just beat on their home floor).

Anything can happen on a given day. But I saw Utah battle Washington tough in Seattle, and Oregon took us to the woodshed in our own backyard. Expect Ducks to roll in this one, but Huskies seem at times destined to lift the trophy.

Wear RED! If any fans from Oregon, Washington, or any team start taunting you, simply be the better fan and wish them good luck in their new league and say you hope to see them again some time.

Random ramblings

Felt getting Keita back made a big difference. I have more fun watching him as any player on the team.

Tough game for Branden who never seemed to get going.

Good stretch of free throw shooting in the middle of the second half (think we were 10/11 over about 5 minutes).

Gaels tried to steal the game at the end, but we kept…[Read more]

I think if enough Utah fans are posting on the various Big XII boards with respectful attitudes towards the rest of the conference and our new opponents, we will be just fine. Sure you have some of the very worst ‘fans’ representing both Utah and BYU on the boards (as well as a few imposters) making both fan bases look bad. I just block them…[Read more]

I miss playing Utah State. Always very much enjoyed day trips to Logan over the years. Scenic drive through Sardine Canyon and compared to another in-state rival, a very friendly venue.

If we’re going to resort to home/away against MWC and MAC teams to fill our schedule like we have in recent years, then might as well bring back the Battle of…[Read more]

Having several huge parts of the defense out hurt quite a bit. Took a while for those that were out there to sort out what they were doing. After the first 20 minutes, didn’t give up any more points until deep into the 4th quarter where Zona finally got a few more TDs (and were caught off guard by that last bomb).

Meanwhile the blocked punt…[Read more]

Morgan has been around enough to observe that USC is very impatient and any coach that doesn’t get a Natty in a few years is sent to the curb.

Need more athleticism. Any word on when Keita and Exacte may return?

Utah player, coaches, and fans will remember that last bomb next season when the Wildcats visit Salt Lake.

Glad no one on our team lost their cool and did anything foolish in response.

End of ASU game there was too much time on the clock to take a knee. I noted before the snap that I hope we get the first time but don’t score, but the 4th string back ran it in.

As for today, the team and fans will remember it when they visit Salt Lake next year.

Any word on Keita? Could have used his athleticism, but you play with who you have and don’t make excuses. Both hope he’s not out very long (could use Exacte back too at some point).

Liking this Ute team though.

Hoping for a win or at least a respectable result. But might be a difficult matchup for Utah. But you have to play strong opposition in order to improve.

Most of the Deacon 3-pt attempts after halftime were rushed to avoid the oncoming defender or well beyond NBA range. Made the difference.

Shows on my guide on ESPNU. A much stronger test than what we had the last few games.

FWIW, for those either unhappy/happy with all these early starts. I noticed that BYU and Oklahoma kick off at 10AM in Provo this Saturday. (Can’t remember any game at Rice-Eccles ever having that early a start).

Not happy we again get to wait but not surprised. With it being a holiday weekend with many extended family events, would help to know now when we play, but all about the TV $$$$ of course.

Lots of angry responses from the home town crowd on some of the calla. At least 3 calls against Washington on 4th down. A rough game for the guys in stripes who had a rather heavy hand on the game, but it was consistent. Lots of calls against both teams today.

On call for work this weekend so have to watch this one on TV and gave tix to someone else. Should warn those planning to attend the game that it’s high school football playoff time and parking lots at Rice-Eccles and VA are reserved for that event. (Remember TRAX is free for ticket holders)

Am somewhat optimistic after watching Monday. Liked…[Read more]

Back in my student days, when we’d watch many football games with a mostly empty student section, then hoops season would start with loud students taking most of 6 sections, never would have thought we would have the MUSS filling the student area at most football games and under 100 students at most hoops games.
