2008 season Stories - Bleed Cubbie Blue
Whittingham's most masterful coaching job yet?
Kyle Whittingham has won over seventy-percent of his games at Utah. He's produced an undefeated season, led the Utes to a second-place finish nationally and a Sugar Bowl win over the Alabama Crimson Tide. It's hard to imagine, at least from the coaching perspective, that '08 could ever be topped -...
Ah, memories...
Remember when Utah football was good? Remember the excitement of every game week because each victory put the Utes closer and closer to their goal, playing in a BCS bowl? I don't know about you, but when your team hits the skids, it makes those good time memories feel even more distant than they...
This is Jordan Wynn's time to shine
Jordan Wynn has won 11 games as Utah's starting quarterback - putting him 15 wins behind Brian Johnson, the all-time leader in wins. If he averages just eight wins these next two seasons, Wynn will pass Johnson at the top of that list. Of course, this isn't about comparing Wynn, a junior, to...
Utes to blackout for Oregon State game
Utah will hold its fourth annual blackout game against Oregon State according to a tweet by Wykie Freeman, which shows off the Utes' 2011 schedule. This has become an annual late-season tradition for Utah, who held their first blackout against #11 TCU in 2008 - a 13-10 victory. Of course, we...
Utah versus the Pac-10 #2: With a kick, Utes beat Oregon State
There are special moments in sports history that are always lasting - no matter how much time passes or how many new memories are created. It's a play or an outcome that you can recite with such accuracy because, even if ten or fifteen years pass, you remember it just like yesterday. The 2008...
Unnoticed in Utah's win over BYU is a bit of program history
With their dramatic, come-from-behind win over the Cougars Saturday, the Utes won 10 regular season games - marking the third consecutive season they've won ten or more games in a season. That's a program record. Never before has Utah produced this great of a three-year stretch, as they're either...
Hey, Utah's actually playing on real national television
The last few years, Utah has struggled with exposure. In 2008, it was the big reason why no one really bought into their ability until their huge Sugar Bowl win. This season, the biggest game in Mountain West history found its way to CBS College Sports. A sports channel that is part of a special...
Revisiting a classic - the 2008 TCU-Utah game
This game still gives me goosebumps. It was one helluva clutch performance by Brian Johnson and the coaching staff and probably the greatest regular season win in program history. Were you there? I was. I sat right in the MUSS and it was probably the most difficult game to watch live in my life...
Big-time college football in Utah
The state of Utah will never look to football like most southern states. Down there, it is a religion. They eat, sleep and drink college football. Here, it's more a hobby. That's not to say we don't have our diehards, we do, but they're in less quantity than what you would find in Alabama. So when...
But they don't play anybody!
It's another run at perfection and the scheduling snobs have returned with their tired and boring argument that Utah doesn't deserve to be anywhere in the BCS picture because they just don't play anyone. This year, they actually do have somewhat of a case because the Utes have had a steady diet of...
