Gavin Jones verbals to USU

Snow College Sophomore, Gavin Jones, is excited to join the Aggies under Andersen’s regime. One of his first tasks, changing into a much more becoming blue and white jersey. After that he’ll fit right in. Jones was quoted in the Herald Journal as saying:
“Their defensive scheme is a lot like I’ve always played in and that’s a [...]

Aggie Basketball looking up, Football too!

Last night the Aggie men’s basketball team met and exceeded my expectations; tonight, the Aggie football team showed up just as I had predicted but failed to pull out the win. A busy week for Aggie sports provided a lot of excitement and entertainment for die-hard fans like me. It also provided ample new content [...]

USU vs Fresno State

Coming into this game the Aggies are coming off of a big victory agianst La. Tech. at home. Both of USU’s wins this season have been in the comfortable confines of Romney Stadium. Unfortunately, tomorrows game against Fresno State isn’t in Romney, but in Fresno, California where the Aggies haven’t won since 1980.
The odds are [...]

Player Spotlight: USU Safety Walter McClenton

 
Walter McClenton was recently awarded the America First Credit Union Utah State Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Oct. 19-25 for his stellar performance filling in for injured senior James Brindley.

James Brindley has been a stalwart safety and [...]

Busy week in USU Athletics

The annual blue and white scrimmage tonight kicks off a loaded week of athletic events for USU. The scrimmage is always a tasty treat to wet the basketball pallet and is certainly a family friendly event. Best of all is the first chance to see what our new players can do, and according to Coach Morrill [...]

USU vs Louisiana Tech

Louisiana Tech did to New Mexico State what I was expecting USU to do to them, trounce them 45-7. Maybe Utah State would’ve been able to do that had they been playing at home like La. Tech was, but there is no excuse for the Aggies lack of performance against NMSU. It’s about the next [...]

USU QB Diondre Borel

First things first, Diondre Borel is one of the top quarterbacks in the WAC. He is far better than the quarterbacks USU has fielded in recent history. As a fan, I can’t be disappointed in the effort and determination shown by our QB.
Having said that, I have been doing a lot of thinking about what this [...]

Deciphering the Aggie Football Team

The Utah State Aggies lost to the Nevada Wolfpack yesterday by 3 points, 35-32. 3 was also the margin of defeat in our game against NMSU last week. Herein lies the cunundrum: Nevada has a power ranking of 77 and NMSU is ranked 112th according to jhowell.net. How can we play so badly one week and so well the next? Had the [...]

Hey Aggies… It’s still Football season!

USU football has a big game this weekend against a tougher than expected Nevada team, but you’d hardly know it from the newspapers.
It’s happening again, the same thing that happens every year at this time… Aggie fans, and the media alike, skip over the end of the football season as if it were the opening act for Utah [...]

Salt Lake Tribune adds new Aggie Blog

It’s called Aggieville: USU Sports. It’s only been up and running for about a week now with short and sporadic content, but for USU fans this is good news.
For decades Aggie fans have complained about the lack of media coverage from the Salt Lake media, and probably for good reason. The Aggies have always played second [...]
