        After the bowl season, my brother-in-law (USU fan) and I were talking games and how they'd gone, and he mentioned seeing a TON of Alamo bowl gear at a local Smiths that he was sure would never sell due to the results of the game. We got a pretty good chuckle about it at the time - how it might be funny to wear one around as a reminder of the game for Ute fans.

        Well - apparently they are STILL on sell. We visited his and my sister's house yesterday and he mentioned that they'd dropped in price enough the he decided to pick up one of the t-shirts for me on Saturday.

          Utah wants to provide a competitive advantage to their basketball team by cutting seating capacity by 40%.

          Beginning next season, the upper bowl of the Huntsman Center will be curtained off, an athletic department spokesman told The Salt Lake Tribune. The new basketball seating capacity is set at 8,500, but athletic department officials would consider opening the upper bowl if a high-profile opponent and/or ticket demand called for such a move. If the upper bowl were to open for a game, those seats will be sold as general admission.

          A seating capacity of 8,500 would make the Huntsman Center the second-smallest in the Pac-12 behind Stanford’s Maples Pavilion (7,233).

          “It starts with a commitment to basketball and offering a competitive advantage to our team,” Scott Kull, Utah’s deputy athletic director for external operations, said. “This has been discussed for years in an effort, again, to try and create the best atmosphere for athletes and coaches. There wasn’t one ‘aha’ moment.”
          The University of Utah’s Jon M. Huntsman Center has a basketball seating capacity of 15,000, making it the largest arena in the Pac-12.

                It will be extra fun when the only time they have to open the upper bowl is to host BYU.

                  That curtain will provide good privacy for any fans who want to take a dump and don't want to walk all the way to the concourse.

                    Haha. Yes.

                    Some of the Utah games I have seen, they could probably fit everyone into the first 15 rows.

                      Not sure if anyone caught the E60 feature on Alex Smith, but it's definitely worth a watch. His response to adversity is pretty impressive.

                        8500? That's still too many for their fan club. I suppose they are counting on more social distancing.

                        Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                          Already at the U., several students and staff have shared their stories of being ignored or mistreated when reporting crimes to the campus department, including cases of rape, stalking, sexual harassment and dating violence that occurred before McCluskey’s death.

                            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
