Interesting factoid.

He’s tight with Ryan… that’s all you need to know.

I know a couple of people that have worked with him at BYU, they both can’t stand him.

I didn’t realize the B12 is such a gauntlet … Sheesh

This is extremely rosy unfortunately.

I’ll say this: 7-5 is far closer to Utah’s ceiling than it is their floor.

I don’t know anything about him personally, but I am seeing tons of negative comments by the BYU fanbase about him. Interesting.

My wife and I and some friends are doing our foodie tour of southern Idaho this weekend. We leave about 1:00ish on Friday and drive to Buhl, Idaho (west of Twin Falls). We go to Holesinsky winery in Buhl on Friday afternoon. It is right on the Snake River, and beautiful place. Their Cab has won some national awards. Cider Draw cider is a great…[Read more]

Thanks – I will definitely try all those things and report back.

Yeah, I’m going to the touristy places. But like my mom used to say, “if the tourist traps weren’t cool, the tourists wouldn’t go there and they wouldn’t be tourist traps.”

Ainge and Zanik have done the equivalent of blowing off their foot with a shotgun because there was an annual 14% chance it would grow back by 2030.

The BIG12 is a snowglobe of unpredictability after last year. My two silver linings are: if you’re going to pick positions to return besides QB, the entire offensive line and the defensive captain are a pretty good place to start, and the offense will have some consistency throughout the spring to fall in practice. Imagine this:

Cam is good…[Read more]

I have a sabbatical for a month, so my wife and I are going up to Spokane/Palouse/Coeur d’Alene/Hiawatha Trail for a short week while kids are in camp, going to a family adoption heritage camp, then later going to Cancun for an inlaw family reunion (not looking forward to the temps in late June). Daughter is going to a 3-wk course in Utah then on…[Read more]

You’re going the super duper duper touristy places, but they are still really cool. Village salads are incredible. “Horiatiki salata” is what you ask for. Another good one is “yemista” ye-me-sta – which is stuffed peppers or tomatoes. Then there’s “dolmathes” which are stuffed grape leaves. Beeftaki is a meat patty that’s usually 1/2 ground beef…[Read more]

Why do people think the WVU game will be at night Week 5? There is BYU @ CU (late, late game?), Baylor @ Ok St. and a few other games that might be the late game.

Week 7 ASU @ Utah might be night. There is KU @ TT, TCU @ KSU, but that seems like a good one to put at night.

Now, Utah @ BYU Week 8 certainly is a possible night game, but hoping…[Read more]

I kind of feel like Dampier might have a bit of Cam Rising’s ability to just make stuff happen when it matters. He is a fair-to-middling QB on paper (goo but no great, due to his so-so passing #s so far), but he seems like the kind of guy who can pull something out a hat on third down and change a game (hopefully not by throwing a pick-6 🙂 ).…[Read more]

Jesus said love God and your neighbor. He spent most time with outcasts and sinners, not the ruling class or rich. And he definitely didn’t put himself first.

Oh, and even though the current administration feels they have some mandate to say what being an ‘American’ is because they won, it should be remembered that 36% of the population (the…[Read more]

While 2 teams with rather low odds of being drawn (Mavs about 1.5% and Spurs about 6%) got first couple picks, it really wasn’t that unlikely for Jazz to not pull out at all. (Something like 47%).

Tanking is foolishly optimistic and rather bad mathematics.

Not going to waste any time at all watching what was once an entertaining product back in…[Read more]

Not sure why the downvotes – was trying to be factual, but as a non-Catholic, perhaps I shouldn’t really comment other than he seems like a good guy to me who has tried to serve in his faith and appears humbled by the mantle. Or perhaps the downvotes are that he isn’t who some hoped it would be or favors policies or positions they don’t agree…[Read more]

Worthy transition… I’m actually excited to see what AJ can do. The Jazz are a dumpster fire after this.
