Slap at Utes?
What's wrong with this picture?A reader tipped us off to a Deseret News conspiracy against the University of Utah Utes.
Our informant, who says she reads the Trib's competitor "just because my place of business gets the DNews" (yeah, right), points out the LDS church-owned organ printed an insulting or at least bone-headed full-page spread on New Year's Day wishing the Utes luck in the Sugar Bowl.
It features a nice photo of the team... from last year! I know this because the player to Brian Johnson's left is Alexander Puccinelli who graduated just this last spring. Also featured in the photo is Kyle Gunther who has also graduated.
It just makes me wonder whether the DNews did this on purpose as pay back for their precious Cougars getting spanked this year. It's not like there are not team photos of this caliber from this season (ie: the Blackout victory over TCU, the win over Oregon State, or even the crushing of the Cougars).
I feel that it is almost a slap in the face for this season's Utes.

If you're blogging about this must be a slow news day. Wouldn't your space be better used to build up the Utes or your own paper rather than trying to tear somebody else down?
Wa wa wa, why do you care what the DNews or KSL says, they cover Cougars, stick with what your SLTrib and KUTV spue out that is what you want to hear anyway...
I don't think that using a dated photograph can be considered an insult, just poor journalistic form. Also, the most obvious cue that this is a dated photograph is the uniforms are Nike, and not Under Armour, which are in their first year.
Laziness is a much simpler explanation than a conspiracy to insult the U so subtly that almost no one would get it.
So the point to the article is that we must insult anyone who congratulates us?
who cares about the DESSERT NEWS or B.Y,WHO? anyway you know haters have their place.they help the rest of us keep it real.
As the great-grandson of Deseret News' historic sports writer Les Goates, I think this sucks. He bled true crimson and white, and would have never allowed such a travesty to occur. He's rolling in his grave right now... Trib's coverage is way better anyway - including prep sports.
Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Years ago, before computers could be used to edit photos, the Deseret News air-brushed a picture of New York Yankees pitcher Whitey Ford.
Celebrating a World Series victory, the paper, with an air brush, removed the evil cigar from his mouth and left a gaping hole.
Sure didn't want Mormon readers to know great people smoke.
Really.
