This came out in 2011 so it isn’t entirely up-to-date, but I’m familiar enough with recent developments; it’s the history of the program on which I needed to brush up. I was working concessions in the stadium for #17 Yergy’s Drive from 55 in the 1993 Holy War, and I was delivering pizza while listening to #23 Lusk’s Dash in the Dusk. But I wasn’t around for #31 The Lost Championship of 1969, or Fred Gehrke painting the first horns on the helmets of the Cleveland Rams. These are some of the 100 things I needed to know.
I've been a Utah fan my whole life so reading this was like a full-on vacation down Memory Lane...so many names and games I haven't thought about in years. I'm excited to pass it on to the other Utah Football lovers in my family who will undoubtedly enjoy it as much as I did.
