nice job | 6:48 a.m. Oct. 15, 2008

way to go! keep it up.

Colorado St. | 8:30 a.m. Oct. 15, 2008

This is another possible crowd rush the field win if the utes can pull it off. CSU i think has 3 wins this year.

Way to go Sean, it was an awesome performance, we are glad you are on our team...Keep up the great play!

That interception in the endzone was by far one of the most athletic plays I have seen in a long time. What a grab!

I love watching Sean Smith play. He's a great athelete and his antics are entertaining. He also doesnt shy away from contact. If you ever wonder if a pass thrown his way is incomplete he makes sure he signals it loud and clear! Glad to have him as a Ute. Shut down the Rams and get a couple more picks for us sean.

Smith?? | 9:29 a.m. Oct. 15, 2008

Isn't he the DB that blew the coverage on Collie last year?

I was at the game when the "MUSS" (student section, not the whole crowd) rushed the field against Oregon State.

The fact is, the opponent had nothing to do with the students rushing the field. It was the sheer emotion of a game that was essentially lost turning into an improbable, last play win keeping another undefeated, BCS "dream" season alive.

Best, most exciting last two minutes of a football game I have witnessed in years (while not close to the biggest win by the Utes in recent years).

Is who the Y will be playing in the Las Vegas bowl this year. Their fans will be storming the field after they beat them.

whenever i want | 10:50 a.m. Oct. 15, 2008

I'll rush the field whenever I'm excited about football.

Some fans are more excited about polls, rankings, stats, "honor", and tradition than they are about football. Maybe they just need something to talk about at the water cooler because they are intensely uninteresting otherwise. Not me.

Re: whenever i want | 12:29 p.m. Oct. 15, 2008

Don't forget "spirit", "fully invested", and "quest for perfection". Lame.

Re: Colorado St. | 12:39 p.m. Oct. 15, 2008

Cheap shots at U fans won't hide the fact your team has put up two subpar outings in a row and look nothing like a top-ten team.

Steve Smith can play. He's still a bit raw, but he has the speed and the size to one day play in the NFL. Anyone disagree?

re colorado state | 12:55 p.m. Oct. 15, 2008

you must forget about the las vegas bowl last year.

Re:Re: Colorado St. | 2:12 p.m. Oct. 15, 2008

I think you mean Sean Smith; Steve Smith certainly can play in the NFL, considering he's a pro-bowler already. A little proof-reading goes a long way, my friend.

Re: Colorado St. 12:39 | 2:26 p.m. Oct. 15, 2008

It's me again. I meant to write Sean Smith not Steve Smith. Hopefully that will satisfy the grammar wizards before it's too late.

The Rams | 3:46 p.m. Oct. 15, 2008

will be tougher than Utah fans think. Colorado State pushed TCU to the brink last week.

This is exactly the type of game (remember UNLV) that Utah has lost in years past.

Don't drop the ball on this one Utah.

As an avid BYU fan, I'm looking forward to an historic matchup between two undefeated teams on November 22nd.

RE: The Rams | 5:18 p.m. Oct. 15, 2008

Same goes back to your team. Don't you drop the ball on your game this week so that historic matchup might just happen

re: the rams | 8:02 p.m. Oct. 15, 2008

i think its funny that every next game utah plays, byu fans say. "this is exactly the type of game that utah always loose to. remember unlv?" just so you know, utah has beaten unlv, air force and all of the other teams that you thought utah would loose to. i bet your pretty down on your self because none of your predictions came true. good job utes, your looking tough. GO UTES!!

BYU drops the ball | 12:12 a.m. Oct. 17, 2008

I think we can now turn the tables and hope our mighty Zoobies wont drop the ball against a MWC foe...oh wait, too late...

10-2 is not a bad season though Zoobs...victory in the Humanitarian Bowl agsinst ITT Tech...no shame in that...

NOV 6th...Black Out at RES...For the MWC CHAMPIONSHIP!!!...

Feels good to be a UTAH MAN...
