Re: SC Featured: Blake Anderson

Though I suspect most on this board are familiar with the tragedy Blake has dealt with, Jeff Hunter wrote a really good in-depth article for the Spring issue of the Utah State magazine: https://utahstatemagazine.usu.edu/athletics/the-deepest-grief-blake-anderson-seeks-to-help-others-following-anothe...

I think USU gets general hatred for a combination of our success in conference and some unfair religious prejudice because we are in Utah.
And the Hurd/spectrum makes their lives a living hell once a year.
This, along with our general success, probably has a lot to do with it.

First gameday shirt?

I'm working on an article regarding the history of the gameday shirt. I know the first one showed up in the early 2000s (2003 I want to say?), and I believe it was a student by the last name of Olsen that really pushed the whole thing through. Tyler maybe? Does anyone know if that's who it was, and ...

Re: Football tix refund

While we are at it, what about a student fee refund for the athletics fees that they are asking students to go into debt for? Students can opt out of that fee at any time, even when sports are being played. Only graduate students can opt out of student fees. It is not an option for undergraduate st...

I'm looking for feedback on the most iconic moments and or traditions that have taken place in the Spectrum. For the Spectrum Magic shirts this year we wanted to incorporate some of those moments into the design. Since I'm only in my mid-30's, though, my memory is only good for three or so of the fi...
