Episode 56 – Sweet Music From the Jazz

Listen Here! We are still several weeks away from college basketball taking center stage, and it’s about that same amount of time until the next major Utah sports team begins their season (Real Salt Lake). So this time of the year the Utah SportsCast is almost all about the Utah Jazz, and we have a lot to say about the team and their recently reacquired position atop the Northwest Division. Then we spend some time with Utah’s D1 college teams, and do some advanced scouting on the ...

Episode 55 – Utah vs. BYU Redux

Listen Here! We tried to divide our time between the Utah Jazz and College Basketball in this week’s podcast, but we ended up talking about all sorts of things, including European soccer, small college mascots, and Zach’s cell phone number. It was a bit more unusual than usual, if that makes any sense. As a bonus, if you have ever wanted to be a part of the Utah SportsCast, you will want to listen to this episode - please download us or go to iTunes and subscribe! Our Top 3 i ...

Episode 54 – Have the Utah Jazz solved their problems?

Listen Here! This week in the podcast we address the recent four game home winning streak by the Utah Jazz, and debate whether that is sufficient to consider the crisis averted (hint: it’s not – not yet, at least). We also induct The Guy Who Looks like Demi Moore’s Husband into the Top 3 for the first time, and go through the local college hoops scene. All this among much, much more, as always. Our Top 3 in Utah for this week: 3. Kyle Korver 2. Ashley Postell 1. ...

Episode 53 – Utah and BYU win Bowls, End Seasons

Listen Here! It’s been a little while since our last show, and while I enjoyed the break, it didn’t do anything for my podcasting skills. I would like to apologize in advance. If you are somehow able to only listen to Zach, you will be fine. We spend most of our time this week talking about the Utah and BYU bowl games, even though they took place a few weeks ago. Both teams won, which was the outcome we both predicted and hoped for, and they were fitting conclusions to good ...

Episode 52 – Bowling Week and Bad Jazz

Listen Here! Christmas Season Status as been officially changed from “Right Around the Corner” to “Practically Here” at the Utah SportsCast, so we figured it was about time to do a little shopping for some of our favorite local sports figures. We made a list of everyone we talked about this year, and what we thought they would either like or need. Some of the gifts were pretty easy to find (a box of tissues for Larry H. Miller, for example, or an English-Portuguese dictionary ...

Episode 51 – A Bad Luck Sports Week

Listen Here! As promised (or threatened, depending on how you look at it), an open letter to the Brigham Young University football team: Dear Cougar players, coaches, and administrators, First and foremost: congratulations Champs! That’s two in a row, after not having won one for a few years. Not too shabby, if you ask me. Fans in other conferences would have liked to see their team chase bigger dreams after a good season, but you guys have your priorities in order. Besi ...

Episode 50 – Time to Go Bowling

Listen Here! Hello Utah SportsFans and thank you for listening and reading. I would like to apologize for what will be a very brief blog entry this week. Not that anyone besides me reads them (well, Zach does), but I still wish I had time enough to offer something better. Next week we will return to regular posting with an open letter to the Brigham Young University football team. Until then, please enjoy our podcast efforts. As always, there is plenty to (hopefully), including ...

We are uncomplicated when it comes to our expectations, and you have certainly exceeded mine. Congratulations on tying for third in the Mountain West Conference. The fans of other teams in other conferences would ...

Episode 48 – The Rivalry Show

Listen Here! The much-anticipated Rivalry Week is finally here. Utah’s next scheduled game is in Provo, Utah against BYU, and vice-versa. Within a week the hype will be silenced, the preparation will be over, the plays will be run, the dust will have settled, and one team will stand triumphant over the other. I could not be more excited. Both Utah and BYU stretched their winning streaks to seven games last week, with significant wins over conference teams. Utah played at hom ...

Episode 47 – A Week of Winning

Listen Here! On the surface, this was a pretty good week for the Utah SportsCast. The Jazz swept all four of the games they played since our last show, BYU won a critical conference game in Provo, and Utah completely outmanned their hapless opponent. That is a 6-0 combined record for the “big three” of this point in the sports season, and a fan could hardly ask for more than four game, five game, and six game win streaks, respectively. However, results do not always tell the ...

Episode 46 – BYU Wins, Utah Rests, and the Jazz Split

Listen Here! It was good to have Brigham Young University back on the field after their rescheduling bye. It was only the second home game for the Cougars since September 22nd, and they hosted the bottom-dwelling Colorado State Rams. As predicted, suspected or hoped-for, BYU won by a large margin: 35-16. The Cougars are now undefeated in their past 12 conference games. Max Hall saw a return to earlier excellence, which, according to Zach, was the second most important thing BYU ...

I have a reasonably broad range of sports I enjoy following, as well as some specific teams or players within that range.

Listen Here! I should start this blog entry with a disclaimer: I didn’t watch either the Utah or the BYU games this past week. It wasn’t a lack of interest, but I had other, previous engagements during both games. I did catch a bit of each on the radio, and read the post-game articles, but that was it. I only mention this in the interest of full disclosure. Well, that, and it gives me an excuse when all of my thoughts and opinions are more foolish than usual. Anyway, I had ...

Episode 42 – Uninspiring wins from BYU and Utah

Listen Here! Zach and I were able to get together last Saturday and watch both Utah vs. Utah State and New Mexico vs. BYU. It was not the first time we had watched games together, of course, but it’s pretty rare that we have a chance to do it. It was good to see Utah get a cruise-control victory in the driving snow. It was also nice to find out that BYU could stumble a bit against a motivated opponent, and still pull out a win. After the game we celebrated by playing a few roun ...

Real Salt Lake managed a lukewarm 0-0 draw against Toronto, but considering they were down a man for most of the game and playing in Canada, the effort was hot.

Sure, they could win Game 5 in San Antonio (a place they haven’t won in this century) and force a Game 6 back in the Fallout Shelter, but sooner or later they will lose again to the Spurs. They just don’t have the horsepower to take three in a row from Duncan, Parker and Ginobli. Not that any of this is a stretch to write. I am not aware of a single m ...

Should the Jazz keep winning two for every one loss over the course of their remaining nine games (a reasonable conclusion), they would end up with a 54-28 record. That would be better than all but seven of the great Jazz seasons of the past, and should cement this team’s place among the al ...

They played three games between our last podcast and today, and at least one of those four was out for each of the games. It could have been a potential 0-3 disaster, and instead it was a respectable 2-1 showing. If we, as fans, have learned anything about those particular four Jazz players, it is that the ...

Since the first tipoff of the 2006-2007 NBA season I haven’t had to endure a single weekend without at least one Jazz game, until this last one. Granted, there were a few Jazz players (and one Jazz Dancer) to check out during the All-Star weekend, but it all came at a cost.

Listen Here! I am a fickle sports fan. Not that this is confession time or anything, but I should at least admit the truth. I was very discouraged by the play of the Utah Jazz when I wrote this blog last week, and while I would never jump off the bandwagon, I was not particularly enjoying the ride. However, this week was a very different story and I am once again euphoric about watching my beloved local NBA team. After four straight losses the Jazz have bounced back to record f ...

Listen Here! This will hopefully be short and sweet, mostly because the week that was has been the complete opposite of “short and sweet” for pro and college hoops fans in Salt Lake City. First of all, the Jazz have not played this poorly on defense in about 10 months. The offense is playing well enough on paper, as they scored 105, 114, 110, and 111 points in consecutive games. But there is something critically wrong when a team coached by Jerry Sloan scores that well and s ...

Listen Here! We missed the show last week due to illness (Zach was on the IR last Tuesday), and I was shocked at how rusty we were after just one bye week. Needless to say, the show is very average-to-poor this week, with both of us coming in virtually unprepared. Even Ohio State looked at us and said we should get our act together and show a little heart. Actually, I shouldn’t throw both of us under the bus in this confession of mediocrity. Zach (“Mr. Automatic”) did just ...

Episode 18 – Bowling for Christmas was good for Utah and BYU, the Jazz are still winning

Listen Here!All right, this may be a bit brief because I will hopefully be hearing from my dentist any moment now.I’ve got a bad-and-getting-worse toothache that is not responding well to pain killers, so I am trying to get my appointment moved up a day.With any luck, I will be called up to “the show” (I would assume dentists call their fine work by some cool nickname, like almost all professions) and have to leave for some pain relief.However, until that sweet moment comes (and I’m ...

Episode 17 – The big bowl preview show, and some stuff about the Jazz

Listen Here!The College Football Bowl season is finally here, and two of the local interest teams are off to play in their third-tier bowl games.I am excited to see bothUtahand BYU play one last game against decent opponents, but the rest of the bowl season doesn’t carry much interest for me.The entire NCAA D1 postseason football program is so screwed up that even the vaunted “BCS Championship Game” has only one story line in which I am genuinely interested: will Urban Meyer get his c ...

Show 16 – An interesting week for the Jazz; Utah and BYU with some rough road losses

Listen Here! Between an atypical scheduling week for the Utah Jazz and our unorthodox Tuesday-to-Tuesday recording days, there were only two Jazz games for the Utah Sports Cast this last week. That could reasonably be combined with the two facts that college football season is basically over and college basketball is still in the opening phases, and it might equate to a slow week for Utah sports fans. It wasn’t, of course. But it might have been. The Jazz dropped a tough gam ...

Episode 15 – The Utah Jazz are cooling down a bit, sort of, and NCAA hoops is just heating up. More on the BCS

Listen Here! The Utah Jazz are in the middle of a little bit of a slump right now. Actually, it might be more accurate to say they are in the middle of playing the basketball we thought they would play; although their season opening hot streak might have made most Jazz fans rethink expectations. It may sound funny to say that, considering they are 15-4 right now and still maintain the best record in the NBA, but there is some justification for it. Since our last show the Jazz hav ...

Episode 14 – BYU’s dramatic last second win against Utah, the Jazz keep winning

Listen Here!Well, I can’t pretend to be overly happy about the outcome of the Holy War, but I think it was one of the most exciting games I have watched in a very long time. Certainly the most thrilling game of the season for either team, I believe. To begin with, I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to BYU for their nail-biting win. I am a genuine fan of both programs (although I do side with Utah when the teams play), so I won’t pretend to do a post-game Cougar bandwago ...

Episode 13 – The Rivalry Special (oh, and the Jazz...

Listen Here! First and foremost, let me say that when I try to be dispassionate and subjective, I see nothing but a win for BYU. There are a few factors I think I can see that make me believe it won’t be a blowout, and I will discuss those. But I think there is a very high probability on BYU winning (around 75%) However, this blog, this show is not about being dispassionate. I consider myself a BYU fan, and I am a dedicated follower of the team. But I am the token Utah guy ar ...

Episode 12 – Utah wins to keep their slim conferen...

Listen Here! The smack is really starting to flow freely here at the Utah Sports Cast, now that we are just two skinny weeks away from the annual Utah vs. BYU Rivalry game. This morning Zach and I spend about fifteen minutes instant messaging each other about John Beck’s abilities as a quarterback, and although I was being very complimentary for the most part, the whole session still had that faint taste of vitriol. It was like we were incapable of taking or receiving compliments ...

Episode 11 – BYU makes good while Utah dominates t...

Listen Here! Utah enjoying a well-deserved bye week left the field open for BYU to make all the statements they could about football dominance in the Mountain West Conference. Not that Utah has much to say about it, if I’m being honest. Even as the token Utah guy here at the Utah Sports Cast, I have to admit BYU’s efforts are becoming very convincing. They returned to the national rankings, checking in as the #25 team in the Associated Press Top 25. The Cougars dominated the ...

Episode 10 – Utah gets back to their winning ways ...

Listen Here! It was a pretty good weekend around the Utah Sports Cast, as both BYU and Utah posted big wins. While these victories over questionable opponents had significance in several ways, they also served to brighten the rivalry picture as it draws another week closer. Conference races and bowl berths are nice and all that, but what’s really important is my ability to run a little more smack at Zach without feeling like I’m stretching it too much. To begin with, Utah scor ...

Episode 8 – Utah gets demolished in Wyoming and BY...

Listen Here!The Rivalry Smack took a serious blow this last weekend and we are both slightly concerned about it. However, as Zach keeps reminding me: all the rules are thrown out in rivalry week, even if one team is 11-0 going in and the other 0-11. Well, that might be a slight exaggeration, but probably not by much. What happened to hurt the rivalry was Utah lost a conference game to Wyoming in Laramie. The final score was 31-15, although both of Utah’s scores came after Wyoming ...

Episode 7 – A big win for Utah and an expected win...

Listen Here!The seventh installment of the Utah Sports Cast is up for your listening pleasure, and the rivalry is already starting to simmer around here. We’re good friends and responsible adults, so there shouldn’t be any bloodshed; but I don’t think either one of us can promise that. My opinion as a Utah fan is that BYU and Utah look very evenly matched. Each team has different strengths, of course, but in the three games where they have played the same opponent (Utah State, TCU ...
