Yeah Utah....What a game!
I hope you all watched the game and had as much fun as we did.
Andy and Maren had us all come to their home for a big Football party.
We had lots of food and then more food.....it was all yummy.
But the best part.......UTAH's Victory.....here is a write up from the tribune.
New Orleans » The shock waves were still rippling here Saturday.
Utah's 31-17 victory over vaunted Alabama in Friday's Sugar Bowl was as thorough as it was unexpected, and left mouths agape all along the Gulf Coast.
According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune , the Utes' upset win "has to rank with the most stunning in the 75-year history of the Bowl." And the Utah bandwagon almost toppled over from all the pundits -- who had previously dismissed the Utes -- trying to climb on.
About the only ones who weren't surprised were the Utes.
Maybe it's time for everybody else to stop being shocked, too.
Since the 2003 season, Utah has won 59 games and lost just 16. Since 2000, the Utes have won 16 games against teams from the six major conferences -- the "BCS" schools -- more than any non-BCS team. And they have won eight consecutive bowl games dating back to 1999, the longest such streak in the nation.
Now this: a 13-0 season that included four wins over four nationally ranked teams and was capped with a signature victory over one of the most storied programs in all of college football. And in an environment, no less, that was essentially a road contest for the Utes, given the 55,000 or so Crimson Tide fans who invaded the Superdome.
"There's only one undefeated team in the United States of America right now in Division I football, and it's these guys right here," said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham.

That's right! The Utes deserve lots of recognition for the great season they just had.
