    who could Utah least afford to lose to injury for the year? For BYU, I think it is obviously Riley. Whether you love him or "don't like him", I doubt anyone has any confidence in the alternatives at this stage. If he goes down, I think it is a struggle to be bowl eligible this year.

      Whit deserves credit. He really could use Blechen right now on D so to stick to the suspension is pretty commendable. I am sure other coaches would find a reason to shorten the suspension for good behavior.

      I'm not sure the Wynn thing isn't a blessing in disguise. Not for Wynn, of course, but now the program can also move on. Wynn wasn't taking the program anywhere and was mostly living off fumes from the bowl game against Kal.

        Ute fans can (and will!) correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Whit had a choice in Blechen's suspension.

          We had one on the rivalry game night last year as well. I had it streaming on the slingbox the whole time. Miserable night.

              Don't forget "Forever Young" by Alphaville, either. Another important staple of the stake activity is "With or Without You" by U2.

                There is a "no exceptions" rule that was applied to Blechen, but I don't know what, if anything, Whit had to do with the formation of the rule or its application. I blame Blechen and think he owes his teammates a big apology.

                    What did Blechen get suspended for?

                      Something drug-related, I think. Probably marijuana.

                          Rumor, Whitt said that he is not ruling him out of the game this week.

                            I'll be at this game in the NEZ in the middle of the Crimson Club, in the exact same seats where I saw boobs at the TCU game two years ago. I won't be disappointed in a repeat performance this Saturday.

                              other rumor is that John White IV will miss the next two games (BYU and ASU) .... I don't know how true that is, but yikes.
