Note: My father passed away Sunday morning. There will be a lack of updates on Block U over the next few days as we deal with his passing and prepare not only for Thanksgiving, but his funeral. I know with this being Holy War Week that interest for Utah football is extremely high. For that, I am sorry. I do ask that if you have any ideas, memories and comments you'd like to share on the Holy War, that you do so in the FanPost section and I'll front page those thoughts.
I thank you for understanding and GO UTES!
