Press conference over, how you feelin'?
Larry Krystkowiak's hire as Utah's basketball coach is probably the most divisive hire in the last 30 years of Utah athletics. I can't recall a coach who had more fans concerned or doubting his ability than what we've seen the last three days. Not even Ray Giacoletti, who, prior to his candidacy...
ESPN's Andy Katz verifies Randy Bennett story, talks about Utah's coaching search

While the powers that be are presumably discussing the pros and cons of a Pac-10 expansion behind closed doors, it is important to recognize that the inclusion of BYU remains unlikely - just as it has been in the past. Therefore, despite public conjecture like Ray Ratto's piece earlier in the week,...
Schedule like Nebraska! Or another way the BCS sticks it to Utah
That's what University of Nebraska at Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman said during Tuesday's BCS hearings. Well damn, why didn't Chris Hill and Kyle Whittingham think of that? There you go, folks. It's that simple. Schedule like Nebraska and you can go undefeated. Glad we got that out of the...
