      All seem to have achieved the desired effect. Even 7 or 8 years later.

        Convince 3/4 of the state of Utah that you are still in Jr. High?

          Denham down with a leg injury. that's too bad. Sounds like the receivers had a better day than the first.

            Urban was an intensely competitive and very effective coach. He's gone. We're grateful for what he did for Utah football, and you're not going to have much luck getting any of us to agree that his approach was wrong. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

                Nice piece on Tony Bergstrom:

                  "After the spring game, I went to the autograph table (Tony) was sitting at and introduced myself to the shy Tony and gave him my number," Jessica said. "He called a couple days later and drove the 45 minutes south to Utah County to take me on a date. I watched him pull up in the ugliest green van I had ever seen, with a roof basket on top. As he got out of the car I noticed his black knee-high socks and white shoes. The rest of his body looked great. I just don't know what he was thinking with those socks."

                  "Anyway, we go out to dinner ... then after the dinner we go to a movie and he asks me to pay for the movie since he paid for dinner. I was pretty annoyed about that, to be honest. I'm the kind of girl that likes to be taken care of by a guy. I bit my tongue and paid for the movie."
                  I guess she had never dated an Ute before.

                      "Eeg." I like that. We need a ew icon for it.

                          Bergstrom does seem like an admirable young man. I don't want to distract from the discussion about the photo or his dating goof ups, just wanted to note that.

                            Apologies for not showering the young man with accolades over the fact that he knows how to pair off and procreate, which seems to be the only point of the piece.

                              I'm still just trying to wrap my mind around a Utah coach comparing a Utah player to a past BYU player. It just seems a little twighlight-zone-ish to me.

                              Didn't we already discuss this ad nauseam?

                              Wait, did I reference BYU with that question?

                              Nuts, I certainly have now. Is there a jar somewhere that I can put a quarter in?

                                Are the only two choices to shower him with accolades or make fun of the family picture?

                                I could have sworn there is another option out there...
