The Utah rugby team put up a season-high 20 points on BYU, but it was little consolation for the Scrummin' Utes on Friday night.

Who says it needs to be November to actually be thankful for something? In a way, on the Ute athletics calendar, it sort of is November when everything tapers down for awhile.

The Utah rugby team hopes that the leftover taste in its mouth can provide some different results against BYU this time around.

The Utah baseball team will host a series against Southern Utah this weekend, depending on the weather.

The Utah football team announced its entire 2009 schedule Thursday as it gets its season underway against a very familiar face.

The Utah baseball team took an early 2-0 lead in the top of the fifth inning on a two-run Kevin Hussey home run, only to surrender the final three runs of the game as Gonzaga edged out the Utes 3-2 to split the two-game series Wednesday afternoon in Spokane, Wash.

Spring snow storms have forced the Utah women's softball team to make changes to its schedule for the second time this week. After moving Tuesday's scheduled game against Utah Valley University to today, the Utes postponed the rest of the games scheduled for the week.

Many questioned whether Utah football head coach Kyle Whittingham would split for greener pastures after his team's stellar performance, but if there were any thoughts or rumors that head coach Jim Boylen would leave Utah after resurrecting the Runnin' Utes, go ahead and throw those out the window.

The Utes are hoping to find assurance in their last two games before beginning Mountain West Conference play, as they take on Utah State and Utah Valley University in home matchups this week.
