Well, UofU men's basketball is off to it's worst start since 1970 0-3. I'm nearly glad I missed the game against Colorado last night, I don't think I could've stood another nail biter where they managed to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
More, however, I'm worried about Saturday and the BYU football game, after that I can set my mind to hoops.
Several people have asked me if I think they can win. I've been answering "I believe they can win."
If the U brings the team from the last three games, the team that plays, I have no doubts. I'm worried though. Second place in conference isn't enough if they lose to the Cougars.
My oldest brother and I figured out that it was 34 years ago when our parents bought us the kid's season tickets for the first time. Baseball aside, U football is probably the most important thing in my sporting life.
I've sat through blow-outs on both sides, I've watched what could be some of the worst Division 1 football ever, though the Urban Meyer two years made up for a lot of pain. But it was the McBride days, and the regular wins against BYU which made me feel like it was worth my while - finally.
But win or lose I don't change out of red on game day.
So a friend's husband said "24-10 Utah"
I believe strongly in 34-31, but one little extra point from Louis Sakoda or a two point conversion from the likely Hero of the Day Eric Weddle will do just fine.
I believe, I hope, I'll be the one in red... Yelling loudly and also saying "come on guys" under my breath.
