The Basketball Crossroads
Rick Barnes is at 'em. The most dangerous thing any coach can do is create heightened expectations in a fan base, deliver on them consistently and incrementally for a decade, and then falter with the team that promises to finally get to the next level; the appointed year that we cement ourselves...
Pregame Guesses: Stanford Cardinal Edition
Does anyone else think it's funny that Bruins Nation is brought to you today by Old Spice Swagger?

Last season, I killed the...
Will Florida Be The SEC's Biggest Disappointment In 2011?
Former Gainesville Sun writer Ed Aschoff fits well at ESPN's SEC blog. That's both compliment and brickbat: He's doing exactly what the Worldwide Leader no doubt wants him to do in his role, and that's take some of the raw opinion provided by "SportsNation" and turn it into an uncritical post on...
How does 2010 stack up to 2008 and 2004?
The Utes have been 6-0 three times in the last ten years - 2004, 2008 and 2010. Though the final record for this season is still out, both the 04 and 08 teams managed to go undefeated and win a BCS bowl game. I'm not quite ready to proclaim the same for this year's Utes, but history does give us an...

Kyle Whittingham's weekly press conference
Kyle Whittingham held his first press conference of the season yesterday and the U has been kind enough to upload video of it to YouTube. Discussion, of course, revolves around Utah's opening game against the Pitt Panthers. Whitt seems optimistic about this season and the progress the team has...

One week and the fun begins
Fun, of course, should mean a Utah victory. I don't think a loss would be fun. They never are, right? So maybe I'm going out on a limb here when I say the fun will begin. It could read the fun might begin - but that's not very decisive. I want to be decisive and not appear weak. So we'll keep it as...
