Blogpoll RoundTable: Week 6
It's Texas/OU week, which means it's Barking Carnival's turn to invite the masses to grab a seat at our dysfunctional family's RoundTable. This week's missive from mgoblog.com's esteemed Brian Cook arrived on a parchment that cyphered Michigan punter Zoltan Mesko's name in a Holtzian anagram. What...
Utah versus the Pac-10 - top five games of the last 20 years
I'm not good at coming up with lists because I feel I'm always going to gloss over an important game or rank one game higher than it should be solely because of nostalgia. But I couldn't pass up this opportunity. Utah football, though lacking Pac-10 affiliation, has had some great games over the...
March Madness is upon us
It's often considered the most wonderful time of the year if you're a sports fan and certainly the NCAA Tournament rarely fails to live up to that billing. It's the time where Cinderella is born and buzzer beaters are aplenty. And while Utah fans won't be cheering on their Runnin' Utes in this...
Goonies Never Say Die - Underdog Utes look to topple unstoppable Broncos
I grew up on The Goonies. It was a staple in my childhood and led me to seek out many adventures of my own. None could ever live up to what Mikey and the Gang saw - but it was that hope of uncovering the unthinkable that kept us at it. We were convinced as kids there was some lost treasure buried...
Utes big dogs to Boise State and justifiably so. However...
When Utah takes the field against the Boise St. Broncos, not many people will give them a chance to win. In fact, they enter the bowl season as one of the largest underdogs at +15. That margin might be hard to swallow for Ute fans because of this team's recent bowl history (they've won nine...
Sprints Looks at South Carolina's Big Upset and Vanderbilt's Accidental Points // 10.11.10
SOUTH CAROLINA 35, ALABAMA 21 Spurrier becomes second on the all-time SEC wins listA lot of people missed this in all the discussion of the upset Saturday: Spurrier now ranks behind only Bear Bryant in the number of conference victories. One of our players said 'let's give fate a game ball'... I...
The ghosts of season openers past: Oregon, 1995
By the looks of a recent poll, we're feeling pretty confident about a win next Thursday. 75% of you think Utah will beat Pitt and why not? The Utes are a legitimate top-25 team and the game is being played in Salt Lake City. We're coming off a fairly successful season and expectations for this year...
Utah's path to a 3-1 record against the Frogs
It's hard to compare these Frogs to TCU teams of the past because they're just so damn good. But I think there is precedence here. The Utes have done better than any Mountain West team against TCU and own a 3-1 record since their arrival in 2005. That just isn't luck. There is an obvious trend that...
On the Chaos This Season
If it seems like this season has been a bit nutty to you, don't worry. You're not crazy. A lot of folks have been lining this year's results up against those of 2007, previously the craziest season on record, and looking for parallels. While we haven't seen any upsets on par with App State-Michigan...
SEC 2009 // Calling the Commodores
C&F's predictions for Vanderbilt. Finish: T-5th, SEC East General: I'm really torn between the Dores and the Wildcats, and while Pythagorean wins are nice, I know what I see. In Vanderbilt, I saw a team that skated by on lucky breaks and opportunistic play in 2008. That doesn't diminish what...
