The top of the Pac-12 standings get a little more interesting:

Dude looks ready to run over some linebackers, for sure.

I want to give the Lady Ute basketball team some love and recognition. They've dealt with some serious injuries this year and have. played hard and lost some close, hard-fought games. They lost to Stanford last week at home in a game they should have won in spite of the worst reffing I have ever seen. They responded two days later with a 40-point win over Cal.

Last night the #20 Utes took on #6 USC and the fans were there to support them and they played great. They lead from start to finish and won 78-58. From the coaching staff to every player, they are all incredibly appreciative of the fans. They stayed after the game last night and signed autographs and talked with fans. I talked Coach Roberts for a minute as well as Juddy. I also complimented a few of the players who were all surrounded by fans.

They have another big game on Monday at 5:00 against #5 UCLA - it's the first game of Big Monday on ESPN. If you can, come out and support our Lady Utes. They are fun to watch and they play so hard. They held USC to their lowest score of the season.

Side note: Cam and Brant Kuithe were there and watched the entire game and I met the three others they were sitting with who were all very polite, respectful, and appreciative young men: Money Parks, Zemiah Vaugh, and...Dorian Singer. Fun stuff!!

Big game today! Here’s the starting 5:

Big test for the guys today as our record against the ducks is so pathetically bad it’s difficult to have hope. But, we’ve been great at home and should be ready to bring it today. Not sure about Rollie and Lawson Lovering’s status. Fingers crossed! Let’s go!!

The 9-7 Beavers are in the Huntsman tonight. Hopefully the home atmosphere will help Utah bounce back after the Stanford loss

Utah got a nice win with being down two key players:

A couple Utah mentions in here:

https://n.rivals.com/news/polynesian-bowl-top-performers-from-day-2-in-hawaii

Is it grades?
credits don’t transfer?
Past conduct/behavior?
Throwing his weight around?
campus politics?

Who am I missing?

Well, Utah held off the late push from Fisch and the Huskies. This is big:

This should be an interesting game for the Utes. Stanford beat Arizona just two weeks ago, but also have losses to Santa Clara and Northern Iowa.

I’m hearing the name pop up from enough angles that this is definitely someone to watch. I’m not saying it’s a slam dunk, but the interest is real.

For those that are curious about tonight's game, my preview is here. I'll be there in person, which should be fun. I expect this one to be a real battle.

That was really nice transfer commit for Utah last night. Picking up Lyons. Here’s what it means:

What a great night to be a Ute:

At 5PM (EST) SiriusXM radio pulled the plug on the Pac 12 network channel 377. Thanks to all those who help produce this channel. You did an outstanding job and you will be missed. There may have had some minor to moderate bias toward their teams, but their interest and love of the conference was unrivaled. Another sign the Pac 12 conference is on its last legs.

RIP PAC-12 radio network

For the third year in a row, Utah adds a Stanford grad transfer. Gilman visited this past weekend:

That would be nuts. I assume they go after Dabo first, but not sure who else they'd be interested in.

No surprise, but good news nonetheless.

So, did ya’ll know that Jack Tuttle was a member of the Michigan Wolverines this year? The CFP National Championship winning Wolverines! Damn!
