Utes Unveil Plans to Celebrate 100 Years
Just back from the Utes' informal "media day" with coaches and players up at the Huntsman Center, where the team officially unveiled plans for their celebration of 100 years of basketball.
The biggest part of the celebration will be the announcement of an All-Century Team at the game against San Diego State on Feb. 16.
The top 15 players ever to play at Utah will comprise the team, and some of them -- such as Andrew Bogut and Keith Van Horn -- are expected to attend the ceremony. Fans will vote for members of the team, starting Friday at www.UtahUtes.com and in other ways during the season.
The Utes also have compiled a list of the 100 greatest moments in their basketball history, which they will unveil on their web site. The top 16 moments will be featured during each home game this season, counting down to the No. 1 moment in school basketball history -- presumably at the home finale against Colorado State on March 4.
The Utes also will wear commemorative patches on their uniforms this season, and hang banners featuring some of their greatest players at the entrances to the Huntsman Center. A new logo will grace various surfaces of the arena, too, including the court.
Of course, there was plenty more from the players and coaches, which I'll roll out in subsequent posts and articles in the newspaper.

Sounds exciting. One question: if the team is going to be voted on by fans, isn't it just slightly premature for some players to be planning on being there?
