Who am I sir? A Utah man am I! Congratulations to the Utah football team who won their first game Thursday night beating the Northern Colorado Bears 41-0!  This has been the first shut out game by the Utah defense since they beat Wyoming 50-0 back in 2007.

This game also marked the return of quarterback Jordan Wynn who completed 19 of 27 passes for 200 yards and threw for 2 touchdowns. John White had a good game averaging 5 yards per his 24 carries and scoring one touchdown. Tight-End Jake Murphy recorded the most receiving yards last night with 6 receptions for 78 yards and 2 touchdowns. Defensive tackle Joe Kruger also scored a touchdown after intercepting the ball in the fourth quarter. Freshman quarterback Travis Wilson had an impressive debut with two rushing touchdowns. Way to go Utes!

The Utes will take the field again next Friday against the Utah State Aggies up in Logan. ‘The Battle of the Brothers’ is the 12th most played rivalry in the nation and Utah currently leads the series 77-28-4. The last time these two teams met was 2009 when the Utes won by 18 points.

On December 30, 2011, KSL published an article entitled ‘The University of Utah says goodbye to the drum and feather.’ While we now know the publication of this article was a little premature as the drum and feather logo as well as the team name ‘Utes’ is still in use, is there a chance the logo and name we are all so familiar with could go away?

The drum and feather logo was originally introduced in 1976. The school has permission from the Ute Tribal council to use both the symbol and the nickname ‘Utes.’ Originally, the school’s mascot was an American Indian but that was dropped when the school discontinued the use of the redskins nickname. For a short time, a cartoon Native American boy named Hoyo was used as the mascot, but he was also dropped. During the 1980′s a ‘Crimson Warrior’ would ride onto the field before home football games and plant a lance into a bale of hay, however, this image was never considered an official mascot.  Finally, in 1996, the University introduced ‘Swoop’ the red-tailed hawk who has now become a staple at almost every Utah Athletics event.

We want to know what Ute fans think about this. How do you feel about the Drum and Feather logo?
