"Make 'em say uhhh, uhh nah nah nah nah" -Master P

Tonight as I was driving home from the office my mind began to reflect upon a subject very near and dear to me... Yes my wife and unborn son are important to me, but on this night I was contemplating upon things of a higher plane... University of Utah Football.
These past few weeks have been an emotional roller coaster. The screaming highs from the Sugar Bowl announcement, a steep drop after hearing the impending departure of Gary Anderson and the corkscrew more commonly known as the Andy Ludwig departure.
The Gary Anderson situation was only surprising in that he went to go coach the Aggies?!? Really? Really? I wouldn't wish that job on my enemy. Wait.. nevermind, Austin Collie you can totally go coach the aggies.
The Andy Ludwig thing was a bit more shocking. Leaving your offensive coordinator position at the BCS bound Utes to take a like position with "yawn" Kansas State Wildcats. Well like Nelly said "Hey must be the money!" but that dude also said Err time that beat go yous gotta shake that thang yo" so he obviously can't be trusted. During my drive i continued deeper and deeper into a pit of despair as I forcasted what next season may hold. ( I really need to start living in the moment.)
Anderson leaving doesn't really hurt us that bad seeing that Whittingham is of a defensive mind and he holds the keys to the kingdom that is the utes defense. The Ludwig situation is of a different beast. Next year the offense will not only lose their offensive coordinator but will use their senior quarterback, a star running back, wide receivers galore and a host of several key O-lineman. That's alot of shiz to deal with in one off-season (remember '04). Seeing that I am a democrat I decided to actively use my brain to develop an idea to ameliorate this situation as opposed "letting the free market handle it". The following is the stroke of genius that all occurred during a 15 minute commute:
With so much change on the hill the last thing you want to do is look outside the program for an offensive coordinator. Change is good but too much change will leave you looking like Rupaul. Yeah there are a few internal candidates amongst the coaching ranks but nobody really sticks out.( This is where I was when the miracle happened....). Who knows the Ute offense better than anyone amongst the coaching ranks? Who understands first hand the remaining offensive weapons on our side of the ball? Who can read and pick apart every defense in the MWC? Brian Johnson! I'm not joking! Dude is not going to make it in the NFL. He's already graduated from school. He knows the offense and is a way better play caller than Ludwig. Utah's most impressive wins this season were a result of BJ audibling and leading the team down the field. The move to make Johnson offensive coordinator would also provide a calming presence of stability in a whirlwind of change. So there you have it Johson as the new offensive coordinator ( I'm a genius). I have already e-mailed Dr Hill and expect a return e-mail shortly but in case my email ended up in the junk folder...

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is for us to Roll the Tide and immediatley following the victory Johnson announcing that he will stay at Utah as the new O.C.

Ohh and if you have time.... please make my wife famous.

Cookies and Milk,

"This is my confession..." (meant to be read in accordance with Usher's masterpiece)

Our government functions through a complex system of checks and balances. No branch of the government can solely implement an idea or motion without passing through the gauntlet that is a series of power players from various other branches. Such is my reason for joining the blogosphere. Until now Ms. Suite-Mangum has had free reign sans any sort of recourse. My blog will serve as a rebuttal or a "what really happened" version of the suitespots. And I imagine will discuss sports as well. I think I'll leave the politics to the hyphenated Mrs.
