Last year, the U volleyball team found it easy to experience the thrill of a win on a consistent basis, especially in conference play. This year, not so much. The Utes dropped their second consecutive MWC decision on the road against UNLV on Saturday by a familiar 3-1 score.

Not too many people knew who Robert Johnson was before Saturday's game against UCLA. After the game, however, the name might strike a chord.

After the Air Force loss -- just when it seemed like the Utes' football team was on the verge of unraveling -- linebacker Joe Jiannoni told the press that the Utes could still go 10-2 and that they would find a way to beat UCLA. The press conference went silent.

Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham called his team's 44-6 win over UCLA "one of the biggest, if not the biggest" home victories he's ever seen.

Thomas Painter has had his 100th birthday planned for a couple of years now. He can see it so clearly in his mind you would think he is describing something that has already happened.

Just when Idaho State seemed poised to avenge its loss to the U women's soccer team in last year's NCAA tournament, the Bengals found themselves reliving the nightmare that's been haunting them since November. Just like in the tournament match on Nov. 9, 2006, the Utes trailed Idaho State 2-1 Friday but tied the game on a controversial goal in the final minutes to force overtime.
