Utes, Utes, Utes. I can't wait for baseball

The #2 ranked mighty Utes, that would be the gymnastics team, opened the season with a 196.325-195.975 win over #5 UCLA. Since that's the kind of behavior Greg Marsden has lead us to expect these many years it's a bit hard to get excited, but still a fine start.
The 0-3 (in conference) men's basketball team is playing 0-3 (in conference) New Mexico in The Pit tonight. Last place in the MWC is at stake since San Diego has played one fewer conference game than the Utes and Lobos. Let's hope they take a lesson from the tied for first in the conference Lady Utes and beat a usually tough team in a tougher arena.
I'm no longer an apologist for Ray Giacoletti (hey, Giac, why isn't your e-mail address on the team site?). What he is failing to do with all of the talent available on that team disgusts me.
The conference perfect Lady Utes are playing 2-1 (MWC) UNLV this afternoon. Starting right about now in fact. Let's make it 7 in a row for the Utes against the Lady Rebels.
Pitchers and catchers report a month from Wednesday, with everyone due for Spring Training on Feb. 21. Even when it's horribly cold outside there's still hope for spring.
