The Miami Ute

But this line is, and always be, problematic: “once again ended with a surplus when campus support is included in the bottom line.” That means that it ended in the “black” through the use of tuition and mandatory activity fee dollars generated from all students. In fact, from research I’ve done, only 1.4 percent of all intercollegiate athletic…[Read more]

Yeah, that’s what it took to get Meruelo to sell the team. One of longest, closest childhood friends from Miami lives in LA and runs all of Meruelo’s media holdings and he told me that Meruelo was losing his ass on the Coyotes since he bought them.

I haven’t heard her say that. What does your husband say?

Better Smith than a guy like Meruelo…

Wow, that’s incredible…it’ll be a total sellout considering that the arena will be reconfigured for hockey.

Obviously not Damien Martinez.

If he were to go, we’d be the last to know. I’m assuming if he’s working on a contract with BYU, you’d have some insider information. Maybe there’s nothing going on.

I like it…the team motto “Fuck Around and Find Out!”

LOL…how about the most obvious, but overlooked, nickname…the Utah Lakers? Another one…Utah Spikes…due to the meeting place of the Trans-Continental Railroad.

The Blues refers to music. That’s why they have a musical note as their logo. But, the best name for any sports team belong to the club sports at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). RISD’s club hockey’s team nickname is the “Nads”. It’s even better to know that the school’s club basketball team is known as the Balls. And then the mascot.…[Read more]

Most other NHL teams have Flex Plans starting at 10 games and up. I’m going to wait until it gets closer to the season and see if something like that becomes available. If not, I guess I’ll just cherry pick certain games on the secondary market.

Since we’re going that route, why don’t you close the loop and call them the Utah Mazzacre? See what I did there?

Hey Narf, how did you do the deposit? Online or via phone with an agent?

Not complaining, but this is what college football has turned into…who can get the best one season rental.

Sad, sad day… you’d figure that they’d keep it there until all PAC athletic competitions were finished. I mean, there are still a ton of PAC varsity sports still going on.

From Rags To $11 Billion: John Huntsman Sr. Dies At 80

The Huntsman family fortune makes Smith look like chump change. The problem is that it’s dispersed among many individuals. As a point of inference, when Jon Huntsman Sr. died in 2018, he left over $11B to his heirs. If Huntsman Sr. was alive and well today, Utah might have had their version of Phil Knight. To be honest though, Huntsman Sr.…[Read more]

Vandy’s problem is that it’s a small, elite private school (7500 undergrads) located in a state that’s already serviced entertainment wise by a colossus, the Tennessee Volunteers. Guarantee you that Tennessee has at least three or four times the number of fans in Nashville as Vanderbilt. If you’re a media outfit, why pay twice to cover the same…[Read more]

He was getting sufficient playing time at Utah so I have to imagine there’s some sort of recompense involved. I’d be interested to see how much in NIL a guy like Faaiu commands. I mean, he’s just a serviceable starter.
