I can’t speak for westbound traffic, but the problem eastbound is 100% about the 13th East off ramp. Everyone and their dog is trying to get off on 13th East, and they all want to turn left (head north into Sugarhouse), causing the off ramp to be backed up all the way onto the freeway. So you’ve got people in the right lane at a dead stop, thru…[Read more]

What is that on his head?

The Jazz are the BYU of the NBA.

And unfortunately (and please don’t anyone take this personally), Jazz fans are the BYU-P fans of the NBA:
1. They think they’re going to return to their flash-in-the-pan “glory days” of yesteryear while ignoring the fact that they are not going to be able to succeed against the headwinds within their respective…[Read more]

“OK…that’s the last straw…I’m going to set Apple’s building on fire…”

I’m LDS and this is absolute fact. LDS Utahns are a bunch of rednecks, not in the same vein as typical southern rednecks, but in our own way. One of those LDS Utahn redneck traits is pyromania. When I was growing up in California, I went through boy scouts in a non-LDS troop, and while we had our share of pyros there (hey, we’re talking about 12…[Read more]

I couldn’t agree with you more. And you left out three other major reasons why fireworks shouldn’t be allowed in the public’s hands.
1. Impact on pets. Your dogs don’t understand why they’re in the middle of artillery combat.
2. Same as above for children.
3. Impact on the sleep of everyone who has to get up early the next morning.
I suppose I…[Read more]

There’s a subset of the Jazz fan base that truly frightens me. And I’m being dead serious when I say that.

I bet I can guess which college whoever wrote this song supports.

Welcome to the talkification of football.

I bet for every minute of actual football played in America, there’s probably 2000 minutes of writing/talking about it. Can someone run those numbers? Now there’s an article I’d read.

And in that video, he’s facing the same level of defense he’ll experience in the NBA.

My point is, why does it have to be an either/or thing? Why are our choices teams like Wyoming or USU? NIU or BYU-P? Just because I don’t see the point of playing USU doesn’t mean I’m advocating playing Wyoming and NIU.

If we’re looking for a G5 opponent that makes sense, I’d be all for Houston, SDSU, or UNLV. Some school in a place where…[Read more]

The question is, why? What’s the upside of playing USU? I see even less reason to schedule USU than I see to schedule BYU-Provo.

“Sign up, son…”

Keep in mind that last year only 20% of quarterbacks in college football who started their teams’ first game also started their final game. So if you think Troy is the starter at the beginning of the year, then there’s an 80% chance he’s not the starter at the end of the year.

For some reason, this song reminds me of BYU-P. Not sure why.

For lift-served MTB, give Deer Valley a try. Your hotel’s concierge can hire you a shuttle to Park City where there are copious places to rent bikes. Deer Valley has (IMO) the best lift-served riding in Utah. When your hunger overcomes your will to ride, they also have really good eats, though it tends to run pricey.

I second the idea of staying…[Read more]

You mean King Tuttle (TM)?

A question for those who know more about football than me: How well does straight-line speed correlate to success in football? I know how coveted sprinters are in football, but is there any data to suggest that a WR who runs a 4.35 is better than one who runs a 4.5? It seems to me that straight-line speed would only help in the open field or when…[Read more]

Here are a few questions to hopefully stimulate some discussion:
I hate to be “that guy”, but if the win total is closer to 4, who of the coaching staff survives? I think that Utah FB is definitely trending upward overall, but this year might be a step back because the conference will be really good. 2018 could be a special year for Utah, but can…[Read more]

When you said “newest addition to the garage”, at first I thought you were talking about the minivan and I kinda threw up in my mouth a little.
