I parked west of the Huntsman and needless to say it was super-duper gridlock after the TCU game.

The happy fans were all being SO courteous. We were all alternating entering into traffic.

When it was my turn to turn left on campus drive this A$$HOLE didn’t alternate. In fact, he aggressively gunned it and forced his way in front of me. If I hadn’t thrown my back out earlier that day I would have gotten out of my car and knocked on this jerk’s window and given him a piece of my mind.

I couldn’t believe a UTE fan would behave like this, until I saw the “Y” sticker in his back window.

Man I’m exhausted and my voice is shot. Last night’s comeback win against TCU was one of the best I’ve seen in my 30+ years of going to the Ute football games.

Here are a couple of YouTubes of the Utah/TCU game and a link to The Ute Blog 2008 Football Gallery for some still pics.

Boy my last post about Ludwing brought some real wrath upon me. Just because I was critical the offensive calling in the O-State game some people here accused me of “not being a Ute fan.” For a guy who has been going to all the Bball and Fball games since 1970, with Ute golf towels, Ute golf shoes, Ute Golf gloves, Ute bath towels and about a million other Ute logo’d items, I was pretty hurt.

As critical as I’ve been about Ludwig, I was very pleased with the offensive game plan today. I thought we mixed it up and weren’t as predictable as a Swiss Watch, like we’ve been.

I hope this is really true, and that CSU’s defense wasn’t so bad that no matter what we did looked like good play calling.

I’ve never been a Ludwig fan and that hasn’t changed. In last nights game I thought the offensive play calling sucked.

I brought my girlfriend who was experiencing her first football game of HER LIFE. She knew nothing about football. Even she kept saying how predictable the plays were.

We were flat. Johnson was flat. The play selection sucked. All that said we won one of the most exciting games I’ve had the pleasure of attending.

Man what a great first day of college football last week. The Utes go into the Big House and beat Michigan in front of over 100,000 people and millions on national TV.

The 25-23 score wasn’t really indicative of most of the game. Utah thumped Michigan in the first half and led 25-10 most of the way with nearly 5x the offensive output.

Our defense was huge, holding Michigan to a mere 36 yards rushing.

Congrats on hanging on for the victory. One down, 11 to go.
