Utah Utes win their Third Game - Blackout Night
Jan 06, 2012I went to my first basketball game this week with my son, my good friend and his boy. The joke on the way there was that it would be fun to hang out, not to expect too much and that we would probably see Utah lose. Utah won! To be honest, I was not 100% impressed with the talent we have a s a team...

University of Utah Basketball vs. UNLV
Mar 05, 2011Today I took my two son's to their first NCAA basketball game. My boy's are eight and five (almost six). Their first experience, a total let down. About half way thorough he first half, Utah had more blocked shots than baskets. And in the second half, my eight year old son po...
Rumor Central - Dave Rose to the Utah Utes as Basketball Coach
Mar 05, 2011Dave Rose to go to the Utah Utes in 2012. As always it is interesting when you hear a bit of news that has not been confirmed. It has been something that has been passed around the media a bit, but no real truth to it. I thought it would be interesting to hear anyone's take on this. In my mind, BY...
Utah College Sports at the Utah Utes Basketball Game
Mar 05, 2011Hey everyone, Utah College Sports will be in Salt Lake City at the Utah Utes basketball game today. This is the Utes last home game, and hopefully the last year of sub par basketball. So let's all go and help them pick up one more win. With us being there, the first person that finds me at the ga...
Just in case you hadn't heard, BYU/UTAH rivarly continues.
Oct 08, 2010I know it's old news now but here are the dates for the future rivarly game as posted on ESPN... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5659125 In related news, Boise State is now off the schedule as of now. Boise fans I'm sure will say it was from fear. Blah blah blah, let them talk, then re...
12 pack for the PAC-12...and a trip down memory lane.
Jun 17, 2010The year was 1994, the coach was Ron McBride, the opponent was Arizonacough PAC-10The winner of the Freedom Bowl was the Utah Utes. The AP Poll ranked them 10th and the Coaches Poll had them at 8th. That year a total of 4 ranked teams fell victim to the U of U. Along with Arizona.co...
Signed, Sealed and Delivered...PAC 10 signed
Jun 17, 2010The offer was signed today, and the press conference is great. Some details so far are that Utah will being in the new conference for the 2011-2012 season. They will receive and equal share of revenue from the conference, but for the TV right share, that will take three years before Utah will be e...

Boise State to the MWC
Jun 12, 2010So it happened, even after all of the hoopla telling Boise they were not wanted, they really were. Why? I guess to let everyone have a positioning chip just in case. Either way, they are here and the MWC is stronger and should have an opportunity for a BCS auto bid very soon. Boise and TCU will ...
More Pac-10 Expansion Talk...Blah Blah Blah
Jun 02, 2010Anyone else getting tired of all the hype of the unkown? Rumors are surfacing all over the place and yet it is nearly impossible to find a credible source. I heard from a friend of a cousin's ex fiance's sister that the Utes will be in the Pac-10 (No, that is not true). So without wasting more o...
Utes in the PAC-10
May 12, 2010Again the rumors have resurfaced! With the big conspiracy with the Big Ten trying to expand to a 14 16 team conference (all being denied right now) it begs the question...What about the Pac-10. Oddly enough I was offered a wager that the Pac 10 would announce the welcoming of the University of U...
Michael Loyd, Jr leaving the "Y"
May 06, 2010When I first heard about this "change" in the program, it was from KFNN Radio on the DJ & PK show. PK, who is not my favorite, but has some good points from time to time, if you can ignore his whining. He stated that it was a black thing, and it was tough to be a black player at a white schoo...
Utah Basketball is officially a joke!
May 04, 2010Listening to the news, sports radio, watching TV and listening to everyone who is even a little bit interested, I have decided that the Utah basketball team has officially hit a dead end. When your team plays bad, and then four key players, including the two highest scores leave the team, something...
Utah Basketball in Peril
Apr 05, 2010The University of Utah's Men's basketball team is in Peril. They are falling apart. They are losing two of their players to graduation and four more have just plain and simply left the program. I mentioned a few weeks ago that last years team was ok, but they underachieved. In to the tournament,...
BYU and the Flop
Jan 31, 2010So take a great game and ruin it. Yes, referee, ruin it. Thank you BYU for the FLOP. You officially have stepped to a new low. Bad enough that Mr. "Max Hates Me To" Hall had to spoil your big football win with the reminder that he cannot turn the other cheek. Yesterday was plain sad for BYU as ...
Utah is Playing High School Ball
Jan 28, 2010After the loss last night to Wyoming, I now believe that the Utes are playing down, playing high school basketball, they are not good. 10-10 on the season is embarrassing, and for a school that has had such great success in the past, this is a failure. The Utes are able to recruit a lot better tha...
Marshall Henderson Ties Freshman Record
Jan 25, 2010Scoring 22 points, 12 of which coming from 3-pointers, Marshall Henderson matches Shaun Green's freshman record of 43 3-pointers. With many games left to go Henderson will be able to set the freshman 3-point record bar very high. "I expect him to make shots. I expect him to score the ball," Coach Bo...
Poor Shooting Gives Utah a Loss Against San Diego
Jan 20, 2010It is amazing to think that Utah had a chance to win this game. As close as the final score seems, it is extremely hard to win games when you shoot around 30%. With a minute left in the game the Utes trailed by nine points. Most of the fans in the stadium had lost hope and started heading for the...
WANTED: Dunking Center?
Jan 15, 2010I have been going to Utah Basketball games for over 2 decades. Being raised in a family who puts Utah season tickets as a high priority in its yearly budget, has given me an edge on pin-pointing the good players and GREAT players. Looking at the players that went on to play professional ball, there ...
Utah Utes Basketball
Jan 14, 2010Well, coming off a decent football year for the Utes, more of a rebuilding year for the football team, it is hard to watch our basketball club these days. I have been debating going to a game and taking the kids, but feels like they may learn bad habits. As I watch the Utes play hoops, I only se...
