For the past four years, Red Rocks fans have had the pleasure of watching seniors Nina Kim and Kristina Baskett perform in the Huntsman Center. Friday night, Kim and Baskett will be introduced in front of their home fans for the last time.

As the snow continues to linger outside, it won't stop the Utah baseball team from beginning Mountain West Conference play today against BYU.

"Summertime and the living's easy." That might be true for Sublime in their 1996 hit "Doin' Time," but for Utah gymnast Jamie Deetscreek, summer was anything but easy. That's not to say it wasn't rewarding.

The Utah women's softball team went into last weekend's tournament with one major goal in mind: build confidence at the plate.

I'm a huge women's basketball advocate, but it's not like the sport needed another reason to have its legitimacy questioned. Vote to change things back to the way they were. This decision wasn't revolutionary, just ridiculous. Kind of like my new mug shot.

The Red Rocks have dipped below the 196.500 mark only once, and that was in their first meet against UCLA, when Utah finished with a 196.175, its lowest score of the season. In that meet, Utah scored a 49.025 on the balance beam, which wasn't bad for the first meet of the season. But in the following weeks, the Red Rocks, by their standards, struggled on the apparatus and failed to break the 49.000 mark for two straight weeks.

Another year gone by, another Mountain West Conference Player of the Year for the Utes. After a terrific senior season in which she helped lead the Utes to a second straight conference title, Morgan Warburton received the honor Monday.

Senior center Luke Nevill swept the "big" Mountain West Conference season awards in 2009 after having his best season in a Utah uniform by winning Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and with Defensive Player of the Year.

Considering Kruger came back from two years away from the game to accumulate 119 tackles, 10.5 sacks and two interceptions in a position he wasn't even recruited for, he has the intelligence and the drive to become a force to be reckoned with at the next level for years to come.

He's got the abilities to help a team right now. I said before, he's got a ton to learn. From what scouts and experts say, he opens up his hips well, and he's got great ball instincts. He also has great closing speed, which he displayed in the Sugar Bowl.
