Well Done, Utah...Well Done

 This post may be premature, but that's okay. The regular season is over and the University of Utah football team has had a great season, even though they still has two games to play, one in three days, the other at a time and location to be determined later.

Two games to play...

Yes, there have been ups and downs--still, it's been another incredible year.

I became a fan of this team when I was a student of the school. Back then, they had some good years, but most of them were so-so. The big goal for the program was to be WAC champions. This was no small task, mostly because BYU was also in the WAC and they usually won the championship. Times sure have changed.

Throughout the year, Utah has been in multiple Top 25 lists, and they've been listed among the top programs in the country. It's still strange for me to see a graphic with the nation's most storied programs and among them is Utah. It still blows my mind.

Sure, they have not won it all, and they might never get there, but for a little school in the West being talked about with the Michigans and Floridas and Oregons of the country, it's a true measure of the success of the team, and more specifically, Head Coach Kyle Whittingham.

Most everyone has already given Utah a "L" for Friday's conference championship game. I hope they win, but even if Utah doesn't, I know they'll play tough and do their best. As a fan, that's all I can ask for.

Yes, even with a couple of losses, it's been a great year and I'm still glad to proudly wear a "U"
