Inflation spares no one. The costs for the athletic department are going up, just like everything is for everyone. The only thing you can do is make sure your wages are keeping pace.

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that if you got your usual 3% raise this year, you actually got a pay cut in terms of purchasing power. Go talk to…[Read more]

I echo what’s been said above. You can have an incredible LDS experience at the U…and yes, I would say it is better than the LDS experience at BYU-Provo Campus (I attended both).

Remember that the U has the largest institute program in the world, with 10,000 students. 10,000. Think about that for a minute. The class selection is huge, the…[Read more]

But Oregon fans from Utah are probably some of the douchiest of people out there

That’s because they’re not actually Oregon fans – they’re BYU-Provo Campus fans. They become Oregon fans once Provo Campus picks up their first L, and that’s because by that time it’s usually Oregon who is the last hope to spoil a special season for Utah.

I’ve had…[Read more]

I went there for one semester as well. That’s how long it took me to realize that BYU-Provo Campus is not a university. It is a giant slumber party masquerading as a university. They want everyone to be basically homogenous – look the same, dress, think the same, act the same. The Honor Code was created for that purpose.

The question is why?…[Read more]

I’m assuming you live along the Wasatch front…

You don’t have to wait til June! Do a “recon trip” this weekend. Get up early, drive out there, park at Little Hole and hike upstream about a mile until you get to the little beach with the one-holer toilet. Fish as long as you want. When you get tired, drive home.

If I weren’t trying to milk…[Read more]

Lodging options are limited. I usually camp at Dripping Springs. I once stayed at Spring Creek Ranch, just across the border in Wyoming. It was fairly basic but the food was amazing.

For a guided float, look no further than Trout Creek Flies. Their guides really know the river and they take good care of their clients.

I’ve got more experiences…[Read more]

Probably so that someone besides me and 2 other people will read it.

DJJ now in the portal too.

If they keep shooting 50% from 3, they will go deep in the tournament.

What are the chances we could get one of those ladies over to the men’s team? That team desperately needs a good shooter.

Fax. Anytime Them loses, a ray of sunshine beams deep within my soul.

Honestly, being on the side of mercy likely makes you a better person than me. But for some reason, I lean more towards consequences these days. I guess it’s because it seems like so many people want the freedom to choose their actions without the consequences of their choices. I just feel like the people of the world need more frequent reminders…[Read more]

Can we separate being fans from destroying someone’s livelihood?

By going out of his way to insult a significant portion of his potential customer base, I’d say he’s destroying his own livelihood.

One man’s “cancel culture” is another man’s “choices have consequences”.

First rule of business: Don’t give people reasons to not be your customer.

I’m baaaaack…and here’s the results from Friday:

Men’s alpine slalom: Utah 2nd place (77.5 points)

Hakuna matata, bitches! I’m here with your day 2 update. Go ahead and exhale…I know you’ve been pacing back and forth in your kitchen waiting for this. Well I am here to chase away all your ills. Here we go:

Men’s XC classic: Utah 5th place (46.0 points)
Women’s XC classic: Utah 1st place (102.5 points)
Men’s alpine GS: Utah 1st place (75.0…[Read more]

For high-level races (like an NCAA race) they will have people shovel the new snow off the course and get it down to the hardpack underneath. For low-level races they will just groom the hill. But just grooming isn’t enough – the course will break down in the turns anyway. Periodically they will stop the race and have course workers (called…[Read more]

Yeah I have to laugh a little bit at the “we don’t want him” group. Have you seen what our current roster looks like? Yeah, Lohner’s got problems…but name someone on our current roster who doesn’t have worse ones?

Bottom line is he would make us better.

Yeah, so Kristina was the stunt double for Maisie Williams in the role of Arya Stark (see photo above). Arya Stark killed the Night King, one of the main antagonists, in what was probably the coolest moment of the otherwise-forgettable final season. The actual moment of the killing required stunts to film, and Kristina being Maisie’s stunt double,…[Read more]
