Athletic Supporter Blogging Changes

I think in order to make things more streamlined and formative, I am going to start doing some frequent posting that encapsulates different items on certain days in order for fluidity to the site. That being said, here is what my schedule will be going forward per conference:

Monday-Big Ten

Tuesday-Pac 10

Wednesday-ACC

Thursday-Big East

Friday-Big 12

Saturday-SEC

Sunday-All others

In these daily capsules, I will have different posts discussing the previous week’s events, news, and future discussions about the teams and conferences themselves (not limiting to specific sports). I will also post on news events as they transpire with my two, or three cents, maybe even a dollar’s worth. For those of you out there that would like to have a discussion on a certain topic, shoot an email my way and I’ll be happy to give it a shot.

Thanks for your support of the site and I look forward to getting started on this!

Utah wins the Christmas Flower Bowl

Football. The game of men. Where mud flies, bones crack, and the meek dare not enter the field. The grunts, the growls, and the intimidation factor was extremely high at the…wait a second..the POINSETTIA Bowl?

The essence of man?? 

What’s next, the Kotex Challenge? The Victoria’s Secret Bowl?

Since when did we start playing in bowls named after FLOWERS, for cripes’ sake??

Anyways, back to the game…Utah, a largely favored team against the upstart Navy Midshipmen, eeeeeeeeeeeeked by the hair of their chinny-chin-chin past the Naval Academy by 35-32. While the first half was boring as hell, if you went to the bathroom for any extended time in the second half, you probably missed points being scored, as the two teams combined for 50–yes, you read that right–50 points in the second half.

Knute Rockne, eat your heart out.

The win was the seventh in a row for Utah in bowl games (this is over a span of 9 years). Of course, when you are playing in bowls named after flowers, winning seven in a row is kind of like winning the Powerball the day after it already was won.  It also ruined the debut of Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo after their head coach bolted (seems to be a trend,ya think?).

Nonetheless, it turned out to be a great game, and congrats to the Utes…Here’s your trophy: everyone gets Poinsettias. YEY!
