One thing that I do think will suck for both BYU and UTah is because we have such crappy bowl affiliations an 11-1 team is going to the LV bowl to play 6-6 Arizona or Oregon State.

I hate these arguments but UCLA did nearly beat a ranked Fresno State squad.

Awesome. They didnt play for as long as I would have liked, but it was pretty nice. I was checking the Dodger score every now and then. Seems like every time I checked in, the Blue had tacked on 2 or 3 more runs.
One thing about seeing a band like Sigur Ros.....it really doesnt matter that I dont understand any of the lyrics. The music was still pretty moving. I did notice a smattering of indie goons....telling people to be quiet during certain instrumentals...much like going to a mogwai show, there is a certain etiquette to the Sigur Ros crowd. Stupid, but interesting.

My flight to Utah landed right at kick off and I got there when it was 3-3. When it was 20-9, it looked like the Utes were well on their way to a blowout, but they let Oregon St. get back in the game with turnovers and a couple other boneheaded plays.
I agree with CJ about the fans, I thought I was at a BYU game for a second there with all the booing going on. I've come to a conclusion about Brian Johnson, while still not as bad as cougar fans want him to be, he's just not as good as everyone thought he would be...but I've become convinced more and more that his hype had more to do with Alex Smith than his own potential...bu I digress. It was still a fun game to be at, and the celebration was what the excitement of college football was all about see: rushing the field at the Vegas Bowl or after beating Utah. Overall, a win is a win, the Utes are 6-0 and have kind of amazingly been able to overcome (thus far) many of the things that made them drop games in the past. At 28-20, I'd venture to guess that nobody gave them a shot to tie it up let alone winning it in regulation. So, they spent 58 minutes not showing a lot of heart, but those last 2 minutes or so, I thought they showed quite a bit of heart. I'm still waiting for them to put it together for 4 quarters, but thus far, not putting it together for 4 quarters hasn't hurt them...yet. |

duh. The reason people are disappointed is because his mental game has not improved. Nor is he really a serious threat to run.
To me, it looks like he has been poorly coached. not his fault. Utah coaches' fault. |

He is so afraid to make a mistake, that he ends up making mistakes...and I actually agree with Waters on a football point, that is coaching.
