In case you haven’t heard, the University of Utah Runnin’ Utes dominated at the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day, winning the game against Pittsburg 35-7. Now, I usually don’t care any more about football than I do about what the guy across the street had for breakfast, but the U is my alma mater, and the team’s bowl win was the capstone to a perfect, undefeated season. That’s pretty noteworthy, and deserving of our congratulations.
However, don’t think for a moment that this event is some kind of conversion experience for me. I didn’t follow U of U football when I was a student there, I haven’t followed it in the 12 years since I graduated, and I don’t think I’m about to begin following it now. Frankly, I don’t get the appeal of sports, not any of them, professional or college-level. Just not my cup of Gatorade.
Still… I’m thinking I might have to get me a commemorative Fiesta Bowl hat. Just to annoy the BYU fans I know, you understand.
I think most of the Y fans are curled up in the fetal position… no time to be annoyed 🙂
was a great victory for the U
Ah, now there’s an appealing image — herds of zoobies all curled up on the floor with their hands over their ears… 🙂
That was a great game!
Hey Paul, welcome aboard! I didn’t actually see the game, but the highlights were impressive.
