2009 season Stories - Bleed Cubbie Blue
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...
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...
Why Ute fans should be optimistic, despite the easy schedule
Utah has been slammed the last couple of weeks because of their rather pathetic early schedule. It is true they have played absolutely no one since the season started. Their one chance at a good win, against Pittsburgh to open the season, looks rather average now with how poorly the Panthers...
The importance of home games
I think we all believe 2009 was a fairly okay rebuilding campaign by the Utes. They won ten games, finished ranked and won their ninth consecutive bowl game against an elite Pac-10 team. By all accounts, it wasn't a bad season. Of course, it could have been a lot better. The biggest complaint about...
In Graham Watson's world, TCU had a better decade than Utah
More irrational goodness from the keyboard of Graham Watson! Yesterday she ranked the best non-BCS teams of the decade and today she ranked the best non-BCS programs of the decade. Her number one I have no issue with. Prior to this season, you could have made a claim Utah had an overall better...
Final Blogpoll has Utah 18th
18s across the board it looks like. The final blogpoll is out and the Utes are ranked right where they were in the coaches' and media poll. Not bad, I guess. Some interesting results... The Utes surged seven spots, the greatest rise of any team in the poll (second best was six by Ole...
Utes finish ranked 18th in both polls
Utah finished the season ranked 18th in both the media and coaches' poll. It marks only the second time in school history Utah has had back-to-back top-25 finishes. Texas, who gave Alabama a scare, finished second and Florida third in both polls. Which means the 14-0 Broncos failed to capture any...
BcS National Pageant Contest tonight
Who'll win? Miss Texas or Miss Alabama? Will you be watching? Do you even care? It is the last football game of the season. Texas 24, Alabama 21 That's my guess - but I really don't care who wins.
They were what we thought they were...
Or were they? Did the Mountain West, specifically TCU, live up to its hype last night? It's hard to argue the conference wasn't let down by the Frogs' performance - but to what degree? There many will differ and I'm not so sure anyone can fully answer the question. I say this because it appears...
And the greatest team in the history of the universe of the Mountain West is...
NOT TCU. The Horned Frogs got bucked by the Broncos tonight in the Fiesta Bowl and showed the world that, outside of Utah, the conference still has a difficult time in big-time events. The debate prior to the game was that this could be the best team in conference history. No more. That debate...
