Remembering the good ol’ days

By By David Servatius • November 13, 2007

God, how I miss the man! I knew when he left all those years ago that life would be very different. I fully expected things to be worse without him, and so I've been coping.

Saturday's football contest between Utah and Wyoming at Rice-Eccles Stadium was defined by one word, one kick and one finger.

Getting acquainted with some household names

By By Natalie Dicou • November 13, 2007

Morgan, Kalee and Leilani should all be household names. They should also be one-name campus stars. But even when I add in their last names: Warburton, Whipple and Mitchell, respectively, those names still might not ring a bell. For those of you in the dark, they're the big three of the Utah women's basketball team.

Utes hit the ground running

By By Chris Kamrani • November 12, 2007

For those of you who expect to see a strictly set-up offense and a defense that just waits for the ball to go through the net, don't count on getting what you counted on with the U basketball team this season. Utah used stringent defense and a solid transition attack to run away with the first win of head coach Jim Boylen's tenure 86-52 over South Carolina-Upstate.
