November 18, 2001

Thanksgiving is the time for family, food and relaxation. But before the big dinner, everyone has to get to grandma's house. During my childhood, that meant another horrible family road trip. Of course, that was back before the age of the minivan. My parents had the classic Ford Pinto wagon. All four kids had to be packed in and ready to go by the time Dad got off work at five. My mother would have spent the three days prior packing and re packing tiny suitcases or bags while Dad created a bunk bed in the back of the Pinto.

It wasn't as much of a match as it was a glorified practice Thursday night when the University of Utah volleyball team blew the New Mexico Lobos out of the gym, 30-15, 30-16, 30-19.

Media Members Make Their Predictions

November 16, 2001

"If God has a self-affirmation crisis, suddenly lacks confidence and subsequently stops believing in himself, does that make him an agnostic? And if God is an agnostic, wouldn't that implode the universe? And if the universe imploded, would BYU's defense then be able to actually stop somebody? Nope?Didn't think so.

Simma-Down-Now! The long-awaited day of destroying Utah at home will begin at 5 p.m. Saturday in the confines of LaVell Edwards Stadium. Ah, what a picture perfect scene it will be to see the sun set over the mountains synchronized with the fall of those annoyingly red-uniformed Utes. Who picked such a satanic color anyway?
