Utes lose to Cal in final seconds
Yeah, that's about what I want to scream Remember last year around this time when Utah went into Berkeley and won at the last second? Well the Golden Bears paid Utah back by hitting a three with about six seconds left to win 72-69. It was a loss much like every loss Ute fans have experienced the...

Oh yeah, there is a basketball game Saturday
Who'd of thought? The Utes kick off their 2008-09 season this afternoon when they host Southwest Baptist University. I've never heard of it and I would have thought the university was somewhere in the southwest, not Missouri, which is where the school is actually located. So what is SBU? Well...
