Failed to mention it in the column, but how ’bout them Utes?!?
nScott Renshaw: Congratulations! You’ve just earned the right to 1. earn no respect by beating a marginal ACC or Big East champion, or 2. have your ass handed to you by whichever SEC team loses its conference championship game.
nBen Rosch: What a freakin’ fun season. I only got to actually go to the TCU game and about pissed myself! Congrats, Utes!
nDerek Jones: Anytime BYU is put in its place, I’m all for it!
nJeremiah Smith: They killed ’em this weekend. It was great to see the fools in blue get sent back to Happy Valley whining. So awesome.
nJulie Erickson: Did they win? I went tailgating and that’s all I remember.
nCody Winget: Anytime we can send BYU back to Provo with its tail between its legs, it’s a good day. Undefeated and BCS-bound doesn’t hurt either. Go, Utes! I hope I never have to hear about Johnny Harline or 4th and 18 ever again. Our defense is still open.
nNick Clark: Obviously, if you do what’s right, on and off the field, I think the Lord steps in and plays a part in it. Magic happens.
nDerek Carlisle: As a Georgia boy, I’m proud to see any team deserving of the red jersey. Happy to be bulldog in a land of Utes.
nEric Peterson: Yes! Utes! I have to admit, though, I have no real understanding of sports. I just love my alma mater and scorn BYU as an “academic institution” for having little intellectual freedom and even less integrity as a place of learning.
nHolly Mullen: Yeah, John, how ’bout ’em? Now may I have a raise to buy a plane ticket to New Orleans and time off to watch them play in the Sugar Bowl?
nPaula Saltas: Even God wanted the Utes to bust into the BCS. I guess we were living right! OK, pay up big time, you know who you are.
nJayne Pedersen: I am blue when it comes to politics and red when it comes to football. Go, Utes!
nTracey Stout: Utah 48, BYU 24 … just proves Cougars are half the men compared to the mighty Utes! Congrats!
nTed Scheffler: Don’t know a whole lot about them Utes. But how about that kicker dude? How come he’s not kicking for my Eagles in the NFL?
