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.

Next season will answer a question. Was the two Pac championships by Utah an aberration and the progress Utah made in a decade less than what we saw? Or was the two seasons without the expected QB1 and injuries or shortcomings of backup QBs an aberration and the progress Utah made in a decade real? Something like trying to understand the specific…[Read more]

I think we hammer UCLA. Our team is more motivated after going through last season, and wants to prove a point.

I think WVU and BYU are toss-ups. I probably like our chances against BYU more, since we’ll be fired up, have better depth, and I just don’t think BYU will get the bounces that they did last year.

ASU, I think we drop that game. That…[Read more]

Here is what I am sick of: the Jazz drafted and built a good playoff team with Williams and Boozer. Blew it up. They then drafted and built a decent team with Hayward. Blew it up or let it get blown up. They then drafted and built a really good team with Mitchell, Gobert, and Conley. Blew it up. The fired a really good GM in Dennis Lindsey…[Read more]

I think the real failure occurred during the previous 2 seasons, when they only started “tanking” halfway through the season. They flushed those seasons for basically no purpose. At least this last season they successfully tanked.

This whole situation might be a blessing in disguise for the new hockey team, and the U basketball program, as…[Read more]

Good article from the Desnews on the breakdown.

Miami, if you get an opportunity, you should consider a halibut fishing excursion up there. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done (and I’m not a fisherman). My wife had an absolute blast too. If you like halibut, you can have it shipped home (for a nominal fee).

I agree Kellso. I’m tired of all the analytics, the tanking, sitting guys out. Setting up so we can win later. All that so we have a 14% chance of getting 1 player that isn’t proven or could get hurt and never live up to expectations. Stockton Malone era had no 1st picks and made it to the finals playing as a team and good coaching.

Only 1 tea…[Read more]

It isn’t, at least not current format. Watch the backroom analysis and the combination process. It’s a four-number combo, and if the line sequence falls on a team, they get the pick. It’s really bad luck and the probability is astronomically low, but it happened in front of the auditors, team representatives, and media. For the Jazz in the short…[Read more]

I’m going to Alaska for 10 days. First time I’ve been there in 35 years. We’re going to split our time between Anchorage and Fairbanks and do some touristy stuff like going to Denali National Park and a whale watching cruise. Later in the summer, I’ll also be going up to northwestern Montana for a couple of weeks to do some camping. This is…[Read more]

If Utah loses to fUCLA I think it just continues the rest of the season and Scalley isn’t the guy.
fUCLA is dogshit.

Here is my prediction:

It’s opening night, the team trots out on the field against UCLA. We get the ball first, and the kickoff is sent through the back of the endzone. Out trotts… ISAAC WILSON, is it? Yes, it appears to be Isaac alright. But wait! Just before the first snap of the game. He rips off his jersey Hulk Hogan Style, and reveals that…[Read more]

7-5 seems reasonable at this point. KW over the past 13 seasons (minus covid) averages roughly 5 loses a season. After the past two seasons of a 7-11 conference record and all of the coach and player turnover on O, man, I have no idea what to expect. Factor in the annual 1-2 WTF losses and 2-3 road losses, 7-5 record should be about right.

My plans consist of failing miserably yet again to get back the beach body of my 20s despite a valiant effort. I will put my swim suit on for the first time, look in the mirror and see my muffin top and B cup and say f#*% it while I toss my protein smoothies and kale salads for a cheeseburger and an IPA. Honestly can’t wait.

I’m done with the NBA!!

The probability of the Mavs, Spurs, and Sixers all beating the odds like this on the same night is 0.000681%

This is according to AI after I inputted the odds into Gemini:

“It’s important to remember that while individual events with low probabilities happen all the time, a particularly striking combination of low…[Read more]

To be fair, Utahs relying on 1 transfer to start on defense … and Utah’s relied on transfer running backs in the past to contribute and we were good (Tavion, Pledger, Curry). The receiver room is the only room that’s a toss up with transfers.

I don’t think I know enough about this year’s team to make a prediction so I’m staying out of that game.

I do wonder why people think that the number of transfers Utah will be counting on this season to make big impacts is a positive but then use the reliance on transfers as a reason why other schools will lose to Utah. Haven’t we all convinced…[Read more]
