September 4, 2003

The U football team (1-0) is heading to College Station, and it faces brutal odds against a tough Texas A&M squad. But, like the Utes, the Aggies are also going through a transitional phase with a new coach. After R.C.

“The Muss” energizes Meyer’s new-look Utes

September 4, 2003

As last Thursday's Utah-Utah State football showdown wound down to its final moment-with the Utes ahead by a comfortable margin-fans began to gradually file out of Rice-Eccles Stadium, just like any other football game.

And with that comes arguing, bickering, bitching and moaning over who will win what, who's overrated, who's getting fired, what's the over-under and, of course, who in your group of friends knows the most about football.

Letter to the Editor: Football turnout was impressive

By and • September 4, 2003

Editor: Interesting. The team ranked dead last in the country comes to town and we draw the eighth largest crowd in stadium history. I'm not sure how that fails to impress, but hey, I think [Tye Smith's] Aug. 29 article, "Local crowd failed to impress," failed to impress [me], so I guess that's how it goes.

Volleyball team looks to turn things around

September 4, 2003

It's going to take a much different performance than what the team showed last weekend, but the U volleyball team (1-2) looks to get back on track when it returns home to host the Utah Classic at Crimson Court this weekend. The tournament kicks off Friday, as the Utes open up against Washington State.

A very dangerous one two combination
