Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City. The University of Utah plays host to regional competition where the top two finishers proceed to national semifinals. Continue reading Gymnastics Regional Preview

Denver Rides Matt Davis’ Heroics to Earn Program’s 6th Frozen Four Berth in 9 Years
So much for all the hand-wringing and bellyaching about blown leads and inconsistent hockey over the last four months. None of that matters now, thanks to the #3-seed Denver Pioneers’ 3-1 victory over the top overall seed Boston College Eagles in the Manchester Regional final. The win gives the Pioneers their second-straight Frozen Four berth, a chance to win their second-straight national title, which would be the program’s third in four years, and their 6th Frozen Four in 9 years, dating back to 2016. Oh, and all they had to do to achieve all of that was to beat the only other team that can rival their success since 2000 – Boston College. Not bad for a Sunday night in late March. Continue reading Denver Rides Matt Davis’ Heroics to Earn Program’s 6th Frozen Four Berth in 9 Years

Part 3: Reaffirming Our Mission or: How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Sausage
The last few days and weeks have been difficult for everyone. Based on the statistics and volume of comments, Parts I and II struck a chord among the DU community. But we took no joy or satisfaction in what we reported.
Let’s be clear – we call ourselves LetsGoDU for a reason.
Our loud and passionate fandom has served us well for 20+ years. Our goals will forever remain to elevate and celebrate DU Athletics, connect our fans to DU, and generate school spirit and pride in our alma mater. And, while these are our goals, we also believe that pursuing them is a serious responsibility – especially in a local media landscape with an embarrassing lack of DU coverage. We believe that shedding some light on how the proverbial DU Athletics sausage is made when the need arises is part of that responsibility.
