EUGENE, Ore.?Streams of flickering Christmas lights covered the inside of Agate Hall at the University of Oregon on Saturday night, brightening up the room as if handfuls of glitter were tossed on the walls and ceilings.

Football Is Where It Expected to Be

November 13, 2001

A year ago, the Utah football team was supposed to win the conference, but went 4-7 instead. This year, the Utes were picked to finish but sixth in the MWC, and now they're in a position to knock off a top-10 ranked and undefeated team, win the league title and advance to a postseason bowl berth.

By and • November 13, 2001

It seems a bit peculiar that a university's administration would hit up its employees and solicit them to donate to?themselves? But that's what's going on right now at the University of Utah. The practice, apparently, is not a new one. Every year, when the U becomes destined to exceed its budget (thanks in large part to a state legislature whose priorities lie anywhere other than adequately funding higher education), the campus administrators send out some glossy pamphlets to professors, faculty members and other assorted staffers asking them to act as de-facto benefactors toward the university.
