I wasn't feeling optimistic about this Utah-BYU game. So I decided to go up to Hec Ed and buy a couple of scalped tickets and take my boy to watch the Huskies against Arizona, trying to clinch their first Pac 10 title in 24 years. It was an inspired decision. It was a terrific game that went down to the wire, the Huskies won, and we had a great time.
As we left the game I saw on my blackberry the Utes were up 5 late in the first half. We got out of the traffic and they were up 2 at the half. I decided we should go to the pub and watch the rest of it. We got seated and the Utes were up 36-34. BYU promptly scored seven straight, I took him to the potty, came back and the Utes had 38 points but BYU was now up 7. I don't think I saw the Utes score a bucket the first 30 minutes I was there. Had I stayed away they may have won. I left the pub regretting the bad food and the Coors light I consumed and unhealthy food I bought for him, and that I ever even went there and watched that damn game.
At least there was memorable WSU-ASU game on at the same time.
I agree with funk. Coming on the heels of watching Washington, which may have more overall team quickness and foot speed than I've ever seen in the college game, the Utes seemed to move in slow motion. Also, when Neville and Brockman went toe to toe last year Brockman destroyed him. I think Boylen has made a silk purse out of a sow's ear with this team. I'm looking forward to seeing his guys.
