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.

When it was all said and done, the Utes cracked the Top 25 for the first time in four years, their Ratings Percentage Index was No. 9 in the country and they brought back the tradition of Utah basketball8212;winning.

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.

Utah might not have been able to stop Maryland's bigs either way, but at least Elliott would know she has to start recruiting some bigger women, instead of having to petition for another rule change.

The 2009 season was one to remember for Red Rock fans8212;they saw Utah as the No. 1 team for part of the year and broke the NCAA record for average attendance per home meet, which they'd set more than 15 years ago.

While most Utah students were relaxing during Spring Break, the Utah pistol team was busy winning national championships.

After a season in which the Utah women's basketball team won both the regular season and tournament of the Mountain West Conference, the Utes finally met their match in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
