Very sad even though recent reports the last few days indicated this was somewhat expected.
Jerry often was seen in the Hunty at Ute games.
A great player and coach who will never be forgotten by local basketball fans.

My first Ute event was a hoops game where my dad took me to see the Utes beat Loyola Marymount back in 1969 when the SEC was brand new. Didn’t go to a lot of games after that until started college back in 1979 but a friend and I and my parents have had season tickets for a long time and still attend together 50 years after that first game.

Bernard named PAC12 defensive player of the week, and Huntley got the offensive POW award.
Both of them had totally bad ass games.
My favorite play for Bernard is when he made that solo tackle on the shovel pass and buried the receiver.

Would suggest not following those. Known people to get ransomware and other unwanted material on their machines when they do that.

What happened to Missouri? Did we buy out the return game or perhaps postpone it to another year? But indeed it is the most attractive and strongest pre-season schedule we’ve had in a very long time.

About a decade ago I would have been rather unhappy as we’ve been a Coke family for years, but I rarely drink soda nowadays preferring water to quench my thirst during the game.

I’m just happy the stadium still allow a one liter sealed water bottle which is much needed on hot afternoon games.

utefansince79 replied to the topic Utah Basketball Success or Disappointment in the forum Basketball (Men) 7 years, 10 months ago

Until (and inculding) the 2 OT loss at Cal (nothing to be ashamed of giving a good team a battle on their home floor) I considered the season a success.

But we followed that up with poor performances (I felt that after that game we only played well at Boulder and against Cal in the Hunty) which greatly dissappointed me.

Still looking forward…[Read more]

utefansince79 replied to the topic I think we have a winner in the King Ute Message Board contest in the forum Misc 7 years, 11 months ago

Crazy how many want to discuss politics on the Utah sports boards. I just quietly uncheck the politics category (out of sight out of mind). With a fan base fairly evenly divided between non-drinkers and drinkers, Mormons and non-Mormons, Republicans and Democrats, etc, any politics threads just have the potential to get too unfriendly and I want…[Read more]

utefansince79 replied to the topic Anyone see Rocker Utes quasi post on the other site. in the forum Misc 7 years, 11 months ago

About 9 days (which I believe is the longest stretch yet). Sad that a site with such a long history of once being the premiere Utah fanboard has fallen so far.

utefansince79 replied to the topic So I guess UFN doesn't want me around anymore. in the forum Misc 7 years, 11 months ago

Seems site dies whenever there is a big game. Down for the week of the bowl game in December, and now essentially down (can’t make any new posts, just read old ones) approaching one of the biggest hoops games of the season.

utefansince79 replied to the topic Sorry for posting this here, but is anybody else unable to log in at UFN? in the forum Misc 7 years, 12 months ago

And if I want to look at the threads, I have to view all the fighting and nashing of teeth in some of the categories I normally turn off.
