RICE- ECCLES STADIUM
W
ith its striking design, stunning mountain backdrop and panoramic views of downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake, Rice-Eccles Stadium is recognized as one of the most beautiful college stadiums in the country. While the exterior scenery is captivating, the charged atmosphere inside Rice-Eccles Stadium makes it one of the 25 “toughest stadiums in the country” for opposing teams according to Bleacher Report. Entering the 2017 season, Utah has played to 44-straight sellouts (41 which exceeded the seating capacity) in Rice-Eccles Stadium extending back to the 2010 opener against Pittsburgh. In its first 19 years, there have been 62 total standing-room-only crowds. The venue’s seating capacity was increased from 45,017 to 45,807 in 2014, and as a result, the top three season attendance averages and 11 of the top 15 single-game crowds in Rice-Eccles Stadium history were recorded in the last three years. The Utes averaged a school-record 46,533 fans per game in 2015, when they also recorded their best single-game attendance mark (47,825 vs. Michigan). Dating back to its 13-0 Sugar Bowl campaign of 2008, Utah’s average attendance has exceeded the stadium’s capacity for nine consecutive years. Opened in 1998 on the grounds of the old Ute (1927-71) and Rice (1972-97) stadiums, Rice-Eccles Stadium has seen several upgrades in ensuing years. The latest is a state-of-the-art 122 x 64-foot video scoreboard that rises 137 feet above ground and was completed in the summer of 2016. One of the largest college football video boards in the country, it features a high definition display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The enhanced software to run the board delivers some of the best special effects in the sports industry and synchronizes with the LED boards in the north end zone. Another improvement in 2016 was a distributed sound system that enhances the sound quality in every 8
2017 UTAH FOOTBALL
section of Rice-Eccles Stadium while also reducing noise to the surrounding community. Rice-Eccles Stadium has also hosted a number of other major sporting events, the most prominent being the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. The initial groundwork for Rice-Eccles Stadium began in 1996, when Utah Director of Athletics Chris Hill initiated a fundraising campaign to replace aging 32,500-seat Rice Stadium. A lead gift of $10 million soon came in from the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, steered by former Ute All-America skier Spence Eccles. The total construction costs ran $50 million, of which $20 million came from private gifts, $10 million from athletics department bonding, $12 million from the University of Utah and $8 million from the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Committee. Preliminary construction work began in the summer of 1997. Two days after the final home game that fall, wrecking crews moved in and demolished Rice Stadium. Only the south end zone bleachers and the Rice name (Robert L. Rice contributed $1 million in the 1972 renovation) would carry over to the new venue. Rising from the rubble less than 10 months later was Rice-Eccles Stadium, an imposing concrete, steel and glass edifice that dominates the Salt Lake skyline. Visible for miles is the stadium box, located 14 stories above ground and encased in a 400-squarefoot expanse of tempered glass. The box is supported by twin towers containing four high-speed elevators. Occupants of the stadium box are treated to sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains to the east and downtown Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west. The Cleone and Spence Eccles Scholarship Box on Level 4 seats 450 and has indoor-outdoor seating,
along with eight suites. The Mezzanine on Level 5 provides another 17 suites. Level 6 contains the John Mooney Working Press Area, named in honor of the late Ute football writer and Salt Lake Tribune sports editor, and booths for television and radio (among them the Bill Marcroft Radio Booth, named for the former longtime “Voice of the Utes”). The press, TV and radio sections open into the Varsity Reception area, which seats 400 for dining. The 2016 stadium upgrades were not the first time the scoreboards have been replaced since RiceEccles opened its gates. In 2003, the late Larry H. and Gail Miller donated $1.6 million for the venue’s first video scoreboard. In 2007, Utah Sports Properties financed an LED board stretching across the top of the north end zone stands, and two LED scoreboards were added to the north corners in 2014. In 2012, an LED board was placed at the bottom of the south end zone stands. The stadium floor has also changed with the times. A FieldTurf surface with CoolPlay cork infill was installed in September 2015, marking the third version of FieldTurf laid down in Rice-Eccles since 2002. Previous surfaces (dating back to Ute Field) were natural grass from 1927-71 and again in 2000-01, AstroTurf from 1972-95 and SportGrass from 1995-99. The south end zone bleachers, built in 1982, house the locker rooms, the Gary L. Crocker Stadium Club suite and a band room. The plaza behind the south end zone was dedicated on Aug. 21, 2003 as the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games Cauldron Park. The Utah Athletics main ticket office is located on the southwest corner of the plaza. RICE- ECCLES STADIUM

UTE TRADITIONS
T
he University of Utah officially adopted the nickname “Utes” for its athletic teams in 1972. The school uses the nickname with permission of the Ute Tribal Council. “What is a Ute?” The Utes are an Indian tribe that originally settled Utah. Two of the more common definitions of Ute are “top of the mountains” and “people of the mountains.” Other references have Ute defined as “land of the sun.” The Utes refer to themselves as “Noochew,” meaning “the People.” There are four Ute tribes: The Northern and White Mesa Tribes are based in Utah, while the Southern and Ute Mountain Tribes are in Colorado. The Northern Utes are most closely affiliated with the University of Utah and have a tribal membership of around 3,000. Many of them live on the Uintah and Ouray reservation. The Utes operate their own tribal government, oversee approximately 1.3 million acres of trust land and operate several businesses. “The Pride of Utah” Marching Utes began in the 1940s as a military band. In the turbulent ’60s, support for the band dwindled, and in 1969, the Associated Students for the University of Utah (ASUU) discontinued its funding. The band was revived in 1976, and since then, the “Pride of Utah” Marching Utes have performed at all home football games, as well as numerous NFL and college bowl games. To the victor goes the Beehive Boot. The authentic pioneer boot has been awarded annually since 1971 to the Utah school with the best record against instate foes. The schools that compete for the boot are Utah, Brigham Young and Utah State. In its 45-year history, the Beehive Boot has been awarded to Utah 15 times (1978, ‘88, ‘93, ‘94, ’95, ’99, 2002, ’03, ’04, ’05, ‘08, ‘11, ‘13, ‘15 and ‘16), BYU 22 times and Utah State nine times. The Block U (elevation 5,300 feet above sea level) was built on Mount Van Cott bordering the Utah campus in 1907. Lights on the 100-foot-tall landmark are illuminated primarily for athletic events and to notify people in the Salt Lake valley that the Utes are
10
2017 UTAH FOOTBALL
playing at home (the lights flash after a Utah victory). Originally built with limestone, the Block U was later replaced by a cement version. In 1969, the design was modified and 124 lights were installed. A fundraising campaign in 2006 raised $400,000 to renovate the aging landmark. Slabs of concrete and steel rebar now reinforce the 5,000-square feet of surface area. Another major improvement was the installation of light emitting diode (LED) red and white lights, which are controlled through a wireless system. The MUSS, one of the most avid and vocal student fan clubs in the nation, is nearly 6,000 strong at Ute home football games. The name MUSS was originally derived from the school fight song lyrics (… No rival band of college fans dare meet us in the muss). Members now refer to MUSS as an acronym for “Mighty Utah Student Section.” The MUSS turns 16 years old this season. Originally known as the Student Fan Club and the Utah Fan Club, the group adopted the name MUSS for the 2002 football season. MUSS members are easily identified by their customized tee-shirts and their policy of standing throughout the entire game. They have a number of other traditions during football games, including the Third Down Jump, in which members jump around and make noise every time the opposing team prepares
for a third down play. Other rituals include the U of U Chop, which occurs every time the band plays a specific percussion song and involves MUSS members forming a U with their hands and “chopping” to the beat of the music, and the First Down Chant (members raise their hands in unison, yelling “first down,” and mimic the referees by pointing their arm in the direction of the first down). The line of “fives” hanging in front of the MUSS section refers to the False Start Tally. Whenever the opposing team is charged with a false start, the MUSS hangs a numeral five in front of its section indicating a five-yard penalty. Every time the Utes score, the band plays the school fight song, signaling the MUSS to sing along to the words of the Utah Fight Song. After every game, Ute team members congregate in front of the MUSS section and join in the singing of the Utah Fight Song. Watch for the MUSS to regularly “Throw up a U,” a tradition that began at the Utah women’s gymnastics meets in 2001 and soon caught on with all the Ute teams and fans. It involves forming the U mentioned in the U of U Chop and raising it toward the sky. The MUSS currently sponsors fan clubs for the Utah football, men’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams. The football team began sporting a MUSS decal on the back of its helmets in 2004.

KYLE WHITTINGHAM HEAD COACH
Year at Utah: 13th Career Record: 104-50 Bowl Record: 10-1* (*2005 Fiesta Bowl Co-Head Coach)
K
yle Whittingham, the 2008 National Coach of the Year, has participated in more Utah victories than any football coach in school history. Utah has won 189 games in Whittingham’s 23 years on the staff, including a 104-50 record in 12 years as the head coach. Among those head coaching wins is a remarkable 10-1 bowl record. Whittingham owns the best bowl win percentage in NCAA history (91%) and his 10 bowl wins ties him for second among active coaches (one behind Alabama’s Nick Saban). Including ties, he is ranked in the top 10 in all-time bowl victories. Overall, he has averaged nearly nine wins a season as Utah’s head coach. The Utes have wins over every team in the Pac-12 Conference since joining the league in 2011 and Whittingham’s impressive nonconference resume includes a winning record against current members of the other Power Five conferences: 4-0 vs. the Big Ten, 7-1 against the ACC, 1-0 vs. the SEC and 4-3 over the Big 12. Whittingham came to Utah in 1994 as the defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator the following year. On December 8, 2004, he was named the school’s 20th head coach. His first victory came three weeks later when he co-coached (with Urban Meyer) the 2005 Fiesta Bowl win over Pittsburgh. His first regular-season victory was against Arizona in the 2005 season opener. In 2008, Whittingham engineered the best season in Utah football history when the Utes finished 13-0 and routed Alabama—a team that spent five weeks at No. 1—in the Sugar Bowl. Utah finished the season with a No. 2 AP ranking and Whittingham was recognized as the National Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards committee. Utah was the country’s only undefeated FBS team in 2008 and beat four top-25 teams—two that finished in the top 10. In addition to his national awards, Whittingham was named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. His success has continued in the Pac-12 Conference where Utah has claimed one South Division co-championship (2015) and has finished in the top three in the South three times (2011, 2015, 2016). The Utes have won all four of their bowl games since joining the Pac-12. Whittingham has been a
semifinalist for the George Munger Coach of the Year Award for the past three seasons (2014-16). His teams have recorded five AP top-25 finishes: No. 2 (2008), No. 17 (2015), No. 18 (2009), No. 21 (2014) and No. 23 (2016). In 2010, Utah finished No. 23 in the Coaches’ poll. Utah has appeared in every College Football Playoff ranking since its inception in 2014—finishing No. 22 in 2014 and 2015 and No. 19 in 2016. Whittingham has also achieved success against AP top-25 teams, logging 13 wins over ranked teams, including victories over No. 4 Alabama (2009), No. 5 Stanford (2013) and No. 8 UCLA (2014). Whittingham’s players have earned numerous individual honors as well. Eleven of his players have made major All-America teams in 13 seasons. First-team All-Americans were Luther Elliss (1994, consensus defensive lineman), Eric Weddle (2006, consensus defensive back), Louie Sakoda (2007, punter; 2008, unanimous consensus place kicker), Zane Beadles (2009, offensive line), Shaky Smithson (2010, punt returner), Star Lotulelei (2012, defensive tackle), Reggie Dunn (2012, kick returner), Nate Orchard (2014, defensive end), Kaelin Clay (2014, returner), Tom Hackett (2014, consensus punter; 2015,

UTE SENIOR PROFILE
DEVELOPING MORE THAN JUST SKILLS Boobie Hobbs was a big-time talent when he signed with the Utes, but the lessons he learned off the field have made him the player he has become. By Nick Gruet Utah Athletics Communications
Senior Boobie Hobbs ranks second in the Pac-12 and 10th in the nation with a 14.5 punt return average this season. 24
2017 UTAH FOOTBALL
P
atience and understanding haven’t always come easy for Boobie Hobbs. When he arrived on the University of Utah campus in 2014, those were two things he had to develop right away, and not by choice. Hobbs played prep football at Landry-Walker High School, one of the top programs in New Orleans. Just a few of his many accomplishments were being named a 4A first team all-state cornerback and the Top Defender at the National Select 7 on 7 Championships in July 2013. As one of the best of the best on his high school team, Hobbs expected to jump straight to the top of the depth chart for the Utes, but things didn’t go exactly as Hobbs had anticipated. “It was tough at first. I didn’t think I was going to play or even be successful here,” Hobbs recalled. “I didn’t know what was going on with things. But one thing I did know was that I had to come out and fight every day, keep the same positive attitude, and never let anything get me down.” As good as Hobbs was when he arrived at Utah, the realization hit him quickly that he was becoming teammates with some of the top defensive backs from across the country. After all, Utah has developed a tradition of sending talented cover men to the NFL. Hobbs learned the hard way his first year that he wasn’t going to be getting a starting role as fast as he would have liked, and he learned slowly that being a great teammate was more important than just being all about himself. Hobbs’ biggest influence was his father Troy. He was a very active parent, always looking out for his kids. Being athletic and loving football, Hobbs’ father enjoyed being able to teach his son how to play football from a young age. “Growing up, my dad was very athletic and he played a lot of football.” Hobbs said. “Still to this day, he will play football with me and he is about 47 years old.” The Hobbs family persevered through some tough times while Boobie was growing up. When he was 10 years old, Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst natural disasters in United States history, made landfall on New Orleans. His family was greatly affected but it served as a good lesson for Hobbs, who says he became a stronger person because of it. “It taught me that life can be short, and that anything can happen to you whether you are rich or poor,” Hobbs said. “It was a disaster and I don’t wish that upon anyone. It makes you look at life differently. You see a city that you love, and then two minutes later it’s a city that is filled with debris and poverty. The experience made me very humble.” (continued on page 26)
UTE SENIOR PROFILE
Harrison Handley is a two-time honorable mention Pac-12 All-Academic selection.
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON Senior Harrison Handley is following in his father’s footsteps as a major college tight end. By Mady White Utah Athletics Communications
F
or Utah senior tight end Harrison Handley, football is a family affair. Since he was just a 10-year old playing pee-wee ball, football has always been something that brings his family together. “Football is huge in my family,” Handley said. “I started at a young age and really got into watching how my dad played growing up. It has always just kind of been the family sport.” Handley’s father, Darren, was a standout tight end at BYU from 1985-88. He had 97 catches for 1,244 yards and five touchdowns in his career. As a junior, he led the Cougars in receptions and yards. “I have been able to watch my dad’s old tapes and just learn from him because we play the same
position,” Handley said. “I can just take everything that he has taught me and use it to better my game. I know that he played the position at a really high level, so I just take everything into account and try to put it into my game.” Some might think having a father with Division I playing experience could put a lot of pressure on you to succeed as well. But for the Handley’s, that’s not the case. “You would think my dad would be hard on me, but my dad is a really mellow guy and is more here to help me out,” Handley said. “He knows that I’m not one of those people who is going to sit there and get yelled at and take it the right way. He has been coaching me
since I started football, so he knows how to teach me. He does it very well.” Along with Handley’s father playing a huge role in his football career, the rest of his family is just as crucial to his success. Handley grew up in Draper, which is about 30 minutes south of Salt Lake City. When choosing where to continue his football career out of high school, staying close to his biggest supporters was very important to him. “It means a lot to me to be able to look up in the stands and see my mom and my whole family. It has been a huge blessing having them there at every game. Also, I just barely got married. So having my wife’s family and her up in the stands every game is huge, too. It has been a really good thing for me,” Handley explained. Handley came out of Alta High School as a wide receiver. During his senior season, Handley caught 64 passes for 779 yards while recording eight touchdowns. He earned all-state honorable mention and was first team all-region. However, the Utah football coaches pictured Handley impacting the Utes at a different position, one that was familiar to his family. “When I came out of high school as a wide receiver, I had a big adjustment to turn into a tight end. My redshirt year helped me a lot. I only weighed about 215 pounds, and obviously to play tight end in the Pac-12 you have to be a lot bigger than that. The redshirt year was really just a building year for me to get my weight up and get used to the game speed,” Handley stated. Along with adjusting to the high demands of playing for a Pac-12 football program, Handley also needed to adjust to the academic side of being a collegiate student-athlete. Handley graduated from high school early to get a jump on his school work, something that has been very important in his life. “Even though I have been playing football since I was 10 years old, academics has always been a huge thing to me and my family,” Handley said. “My mom always made it a rule that if you had anything lower than a B, it was no fun for sure. I always did well academically. I was on the honor roll throughout high school and the Dean’s List throughout college. I think academics is a huge thing. Maybe it isn’t to a lot of other players, but to me I know that football may only last a certain amount of time, and I always wanted something to fall back on.” Handley received his undergraduate degree in communications last year and will receive his master’s degree from the U.’s Educational, Leadership and Policy program following the fall semester. Most students attending the University of Utah put most of their (continued on page 26) 2017 UTAH FOOTBALL

UTE SENIOR PROFILE Harrison Handley (continued from page 25) time into schoolwork and a few other extracurricular activities. But for a Division I athlete in an exceptional Pac-12 football program, to have earned both an undergraduate and a master’s degree is quite an achievement. “It has definitely been a challenge. We have stuff starting at 6:00 in the morning, then we are back in the building at 2:00 and then we are done with practice at 6:00 at night. I just try to manage my time and get into the Burbidge Center to study as much as I can. I was taking anywhere from 18 to 25 credits a semester just trying to bang it out,” said Handley. “I was able to do that fairly quickly because I graduated high school early, so I got a jump on things. But at the same time, I busted my butt every semester. That was my goal coming out of high school: I knew if I graduated high school early, I wanted to get a master’s degree paid for,” continued Handley. Handley plans to ride the football wave as long as he can, but once his football career comes to an end, he plans to use his degrees to land a job he can be in for the rest of his life. From both football and school, Handley has learned that everything he does is a process you have to grind through. The importance of finishing the job is something he will take away from

that is one thing I can take away from this experience. Always work your hardest and get the job done, no matter what,” Handley said.
Boobie Hobbs (continued from page 24) After appearing mostly on special teams in 11 games as a true freshman, Hobbs played in all 13 games as a sophomore. His fourth down pass breakup late in the fourth quarter secured a victory over California. Last season, Hobbs appeared in all 13 games once again with one start at cornerback. As the team’s fastest player, running a 4.38-second 40, the Utes have looked for other ways to get him on the field. In addition to his defensive back duties Hobbs has emerged as a premier punt returner. In 2016, he led the nation with 35 punt returns and ranked sixth in the NCAA with 274 punt return yards. This year, Hobbs ranks second in the Pac-12 and 10th in the nation with a 14.5 punt return average. He has played in every game with three starts at nickel back, recording 16 tackles, a fumble recovery, two pass breakups and an interception. While many people are familiar with Hobbs because of his stellar play on the field, others know him best because
of his nickname Boobie, given to him at a young age by his grandmother. She gave nicknames to all of her grandchildren and Hobbs still doesn’t know how she came up with his since she passed away when he was very young. But he likes to use his nickname as a motivator and in remembrance of her. Playing in the NFL is a dream for many college players. But for Hobbs, making it to the league would mean the world to him. Hobbs has two kids, a boy and a girl, and being able to provide a more comfortable life for them is something he would like to achieve. Football is a big part of Hobbs’ life. It has created many opportunities and developed him into the man and father that he is today. Seeing all of his hard work pay off even more would be especially gratifying to him and his family. Hobbs will also be receiving his bachelor’s degree in sociology in December. Hobbs’ only goal is to make it through the season healthy. Realizing that this is his senior season, Hobbs wants to play as much as possible this year take advantage of everything in front of him.

By Mike Lageschulte Special Projects for Utah Athletics Communications Burt was selected in the eighth round of the inaugural WUSA Draft in 2001 by the Carolina Courage and developed into one of the league’s best defenders. She rarely left the field in three seasons and helped lead Carolina to the 2002 WUSA championship. Burt also represented the United States in international play, earning a call-up to the women’s national team for the 2001 Nike U.S. Women’s Cup.
Staci Burt
Kent Crawford (Men’s Tennis) A two-time first team All-American, Kent Crawford led the Utah men’s tennis team one Western Athletic Conference title and a top 20 national ranking all four years of his career. Crawford wasted little time in asserting himself at Utah, earning the No. 1 spot in both the singles and doubles lineups as a freshman. He led the Utes to their first conference title in a dozen years in 1977, as well as a No. 6 national ranking. Crawford earned first team All-America honors in singles play as

niversity of Utah Athletics is honoring five former Ute athletes and one dual coach/ athlete honoree by inducting them into the Crimson Club Hall of Fame this weekend. The 2017 Hall of Fame class includes Staci Burt (soccer), Kent Crawford (men’s tennis), Jo Evans (softball coach and player), Jordan Gross (football), Chris Shelton (baseball) and Steve Smith Sr. (football). The group was formally enshrined last night and will be honored during the game this afternoon. Staci Burt (Soccer) A four-time all-conference performer who led Utah soccer to its first league title, Staci Burt went on to become the program’s most accomplished player on the professional and international levels. Burt led the Utes with 22 points and had nine goals as a sophomore, earning the first of her three consecutive first team all-league citations. Burt scored a career-high 13 goals in 1998 and was named to the SoccerBuzz All-West Region third team. Her senior year, Burt earned second team NSCAA All-West Region honors as she led the Utes to a share of their first-ever Mountain West Conference title and a 13-7-1 record.
Jo Evans
Kent Crawford a sophomore and junior. His final year, Crawford teamed with Dave Sherbeck to finish second at the National Indoor Doubles Championships. The duo also earned the No. 8 seed at the 1978 NCAA Outdoor Championships. One of the top players in the Intermountain West before and after his Utah career, Crawford was a fivetime winner of the McIntosh Award and twice claimed the David Freed Award for Excellence. After graduating from the U., Crawford was the head coach for the Ute women’s team in 1980 and ’81. Jo Evans (Softball) One of Utah softball’s all-time greats, Jo Evans is the only person in the program’s history to lead the Utes to the College World Series both as a player and as a head coach. Evans hit .433 and set the school records for triples and walks as a second baseman for the Utes from 1979-82. She earned all-conference honors in 1982, and as a senior team captain led the Utes to the AIAW College World Series. Evans took her first head coaching job at Colorado State in 1986. She returned home four years later and led Utah to back-to-back conference regular season and tournament titles in her first two seasons, as well as the 1991 NCAA College World Series. Evans put together her best Utah team in 1994, setting the school record with 51 wins. The Utes advanced to their second College World Series in four years, placing fifth. 2017 UTAH FOOTBALL

Gross worked his way into a starting role on the offensive line the final three games of the 1999 season. His emergence helped the Utes claim a share of the Mountain West Conference championship and defeat Fresno State in the Las Vegas Bowl. As the anchor of Utah’s “O” line for the final 37 games of his college career, Gross received honorable mention all-conference honors in 2000 and 2001. Among his many accolades in 2002, Gross earned first team AllMountain West Conference honors and was named a first team All-American by seven organizations. He was also voted one of three finalists for the Outland Trophy, recognizing the nation’s best interior lineman. Gross then moved on to the National Football League and was selected eighth overall in the 2003 draft by Carolina. Gross was voted first team All-Pro in 2008 and played in three Pro Bowls during his 11-year NFL career.

Smith earned all-league honors as both a wide receiver and punt returner in 1999. He led the team with 860 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches. As a punt returner, Smith eclipsed the Utah single-season records with 495 punt return yards and three TDs. His senior year, Smith earned All-MWC honors for a second time. He rolled up over 1,100 all-purpose yards with a team-high 743 in receiving and 365 more in punt returns. Smith left Utah as the program’s all-time leader by averaging 20.55 yards per catch. He also set the top mark with four career punt return touchdowns. Smith was taken in the third round of the 2001 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers, where he spent the next 13 seasons.

CHORUS (same)
VERSE
I am a Utah Man/Fan, sir, and I live across the green, Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen. Our students are the finest and each one’s a shining star, Our yell, you’ll hear it ringing through the mountains near and far! CHORUS
Who am I, sir, A Utah Man/Fan am I! A Utah Man/Fan, sir, Will be ‘til I die. Ki-yi! VERSE
We’re up to snuff, we never bluff, we’re game for any fuss. No rival band of college fans dare meet us in The MUSS. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, We’ll fight for dear old crimson for a Utah Man/Fan am I!
VERSE
And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row, And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go. No matter if a freshman green or in a senior’s gown, The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town. CHORUS (same) VERSE
We may not live forever on this jolly good sphere, But while we do we’ll live a life of merriment and cheer, And when our college days are o’er and night is drawing nigh, With parting breath we’ll sing that song: “A Utah Man/Fan Am I.” Go Utes!

CHRIS HILL, PH.D. ATHLETICS DIRECTOR
Year at Utah: 31st 1987-present: Director of Athletics 1998-present: Special Assistant to the President
J
ust 37 years old when he was appointed as Utah’s director of athletics, Chris Hill, Ph.D. has led the school’s athletics programs to unprecedented success since his hiring in October of 1987. Now in his 31st year at Utah, he is the nation’s longest actively tenured athletics director at the same school in the NCAA FBS. Hill’s most monumental accomplishment was spearheading Utah’s move to the Pac-12 Conference in 2011. In their first six seasons in the “Conference of Champions,” the Utes have won three Pac-12 gymnastics championships (2014, 2015, 2016), one baseball title (2016) and a football South Division co-championship (2015). Utah has won 10 NCAA team championships during Hill’s tenure—six by the ski team (including the 2017 NCAA title) and four by the gymnastics team. The Utes have also placed second in the nation 16 times since he took the helm, including the 1998 men’s basketball team’s NCAA runner-up finish and a No. 2 final national ranking by the football team after its win over Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl. Hill has hired three coaches who won National Coach of the Year honors at Utah: football coaches Urban Meyer (2004) and Kyle Whittingham (2008), and men’s basketball coach Rick Majerus (1998). Hill has served on several national boards, including the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee (2004-09), chair of the NCAA Championships/Competition Cabinet (1997-98) and the NCAA Management Council Administrative Committee. He was on NACDA’s executive committee from 2002-06. 58

The football program, which had not played in a bowl in the 22 years preceding Hill’s appointment as athletics director, is 14-4 in bowl games during his term. Utah’s other athletic programs have also thrived under his leadership. The men’s basketball team has played in 15 NCAA Tournaments—advancing to the Sweet 16 six times and the Elite Eight twice. In 1998, the Runnin’ Utes played Kentucky for the NCAA Championship. The women’s basketball team also has 15 NCAA appearances, making the Sweet 16 twice and the Elite Eight once. The gymnastics team has made 20 NCAA Super Six appearances while qualifying for the NCAA Championships all 30 years with Hill as AD—and the ski team has finished first or second in the nation 15 times under his watch. He has received a number of awards, including the following: 2011 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Under Armour West Region Athletic Director of the Year, finalist for the 2011 Athletic Director of the Year by SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily, 2011 Utah YMCA Man of the Year, 2004 Mountain West Conference’s Commissioner’s Award, 1981 Milton Bennion Fellowship, 1984 Utah Recreation Therapy Association Outstanding Service award and 1996 Utah MS Sportsperson of the Year. The New Jersey native was inducted into the Jersey Shore Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2001, the National Consortium for Academics and Sports awarded him its Degree Completion and Outreach and Community Service Honor Award. Hill has served in five capacities at the U., starting in 1973-74 as a graduate assistant basketball coach on Bill Foster’s staff. After coaching boys’ basketball at Salt Lake’s Granger High from 1975-79 (he was the 1975 4A Coach of the Year), Hill returned to the U. as an assistant coach to Jerry Pimm (197981). From 1983-85, he taught in the University’s special education department before becoming the athletic department’s Crimson Club director (1985-86). In 1987, he was named the director of athletics. Hill was the executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Utah from 1981-85, during which time he developed a housing project for people with severe physical disabilities. As an undergraduate, Hill won three letters in basketball at Rutgers and co-captained the 1971-72 team. His bachelor’s degree from Rutgers is in math education (1972). He holds a master’s in education (Utah, 1974), and a Ph.D. in educational administration (Utah, 1982). His wife Kathy, a faculty member in the U.’s Department of Special Education in severe disabilities, received the 2010 College of Education Service Award and the 2012 ASUU Student Choice Award for
Excellence in Teaching. They have two children, Aly and Christopher; three granddaughters, Addie, Lily and Ayumi, and a grandson, Jack. Aly played soccer for the University of Oregon and has a master’s degree in social work from Utah. She teaches students with severe disabilities in the Salt Lake City School District. Christopher holds a bachelor’s and law degree from the U. He works in business strategy for ESPN and is married to Darci Motoki, who received her bachelor’s degree from Boston College and her master’s degree from Claremont Graduate University. She is a consultant for Accenture.
