Most of you don't care, which is just fine. If you really want to ask about me - which is also OK - boardmail me and fire away.

Just once I'd like to hear this:
Boomer: "Well, Coach, I take it you're thrilled with your pick in the first round?"
Coach: "To be completely honest, he's a pig with lipstick. But what can I do? My owner, who made a fortune selling Mary Kay products, thinks he knows more about football than our entire scouting department. So instead of taking the left tackle we had rated No. 1 on our board, Bill Walsh Jr. here made us draft an intramural quarterback from DeVry Institute. Said he had good measurables."
--Gene Wojciechowski on the NFL draft
My Favorite Teams:
all NCAA sports - Utes (obviously)
NBA - Jazz (yes I'm a homer, what's it to you?)
MLB - Baltimore Orioles
NFL - Washington Redskins (DISCLAIMER - not a diehard, just sort of adopted them as a kid for reasons I don't even remember anymore; still prefer them above all others, though)
NHL - no favorite, but enjoy the playoffs
MLS - sorry, I just couldn't care less about soccer. I don't disapprove of Real or the league or anything - if they can succeed without draining the tax coffers, cool. But I don't see myself buying a ticket to watch them play.
My Favorite Victories:
-2005 Fiesta Bowl, 2009 Sugar Bowl, 13-10 over TCU in '08
-'98 Final Four run
-Any Ute victory over BYU (especially 34-31 parts I & II, '03 thru '05 FB, 57-28 in '88 FB, win in '91 BB where Josh Grant posterized Bradley, '03 BB and the end of the Marriott Center win streak)
-'94 FB vs. CSU
-'97 BB vs. New Mexico in the WAC tourney
-any win that clinched yet another conference title
-any postseason win
My Favorite Players:
-Keith Van Horn
-Andre Miller
-Ben Caton (a hard nosed, forgotten player on some great teams that for some reason I just loved to watch)
-Alex Smith
-Morgan Scalley
-Luther Elliss
-Byron Wilson
-Walter Watts (see: Ben Caton)
-Alex Jensen
