    Yep, it does speak volumes.

    I have no idea where the visitors sit. Honestly. I have been going to games in that frakkin' building for over 20 years and I still don't know where they sit. Sorry.

      I've sat all over the Mother Ship and there's really not a bad seat. I like the arena well enough except for the off-putting red color everywhere.

      In the MC I sat next to a large Ute contingent and I hope to not repeat that mistake this year. One "guy" in particular made what can only be described as the rape whistle sound based on his incessant high-pitched screaming each and every time a BYU player was shooting free-throws (or taking a dive on a Marshall Mathers backhand).

      I sure hope he either graduated or took that truck driving gig cause I'd hate to ruin my "FUTURE PAC-10 DOORMAT" sign on his head.

            Oh, come on. The way the Utes are playing they'd be very competitive with Washington State. The battle for doormathood would be a fierce one.

                    How in the hell did we give up a fastbreak dunk after a 3pt shot from the wing

                        I will see SU's 0-4 conference start and raise to 0-5.

                          I think that it won't be too long before Oregon has a very competitive basketball team.

                          They have money and now have an absolute palace of an arena.

                          It's only a matter of time until they start attracting some top talent that wants to play in a very nice gym and wear ever-changing uniforms.

                            The Huntsman is still bigger, I'm told. We see what a difference a big arena makes!

                              Utah would beat Oregon, unless Utah can also not shoot the ball in which case it might be 34-33. I've only seen a few minutes trying to spot MRD at the Michigan game.

                                I was right next to them last year as well. He went very quiet after about 15 minutes.
