I’ve told this story before, but just in case:

My son plays college soccer at an Under Armour school. When he got to summer training camp his freshman year, he was given UA boots. By the end of the first week, he couldn’t run due to plantar fascia and Achilles pain. At first the trainers blamed him and his fitness (no way – he showed up to camp…[Read more]

Speaking of merch, one thing I think we underestimate is how much the Under Armour deal is holding Utah back.
1. UA’s graphics and design are inferior to other brands, plus the prices are generally 15-20% higher than the others. I think this hurts when it comes to getting the Utah brand out on the streets.
2. The UA brand has less street cred than…[Read more]

They’re adding a Crimson Club obligation to my level ($100), plus my tickets are going from $100 to $250 each.

Don’t get me wrong – I’ll still do it. It’s still the best deal in the state for high-level basketball.

I got back last night. Greece was unreal. Great beaches, some incredible hiking, really nice people, and everything I ate was amazing. I found myself contemplating if I could move my business there and still be successful.

Already planning on going back next year!

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.”

I’ll be in Mykonos and Santorini. And yes, food suggestions would be appreciated. I know very little about Greek food, except that every American Greek dish I’ve ever tried has been phenomenal. I understand that real Greek food is likely very different than the americanized Greek food we get here, but my expectations are sky high.

I’m actually heading to Greece on Friday. Never been before and I’m super excited. This week is crawling by…

I heard that if there’s no Pope decided after 4 rounds of voting, they decide it by having the cardinals do alternating possessions starting on the 25 yard line. If it’s still not decided after an additional 2 rounds, they have to go for a 2-point conversion every time. That’s probably how the American cardinal won.

Also shot 81% FT.

My dream of having bigs who can shoot free throws is about to come true.

The former.

“Utah University”? I was assuming the CFL has internet access so they could check the name of the school their #1 draft pick went to, but perhaps I was wrong.

Oh, and mark it down: Damien Alford will catch a TD pass from Shedeur Sanders within 3 years.

There’s a lot to like about this pickup…not the least of which is that he’s a senior. I’ve always believed that experience matters at PG more than any other position.

That room seems like a good investment for the future. He can repurpose it to hold all the CFL trophies he’s going to win.

For all those who are (rightly) fed up with NIL, the portal, and all the outside money ruining college sports, can I make a suggestion?

Start following one or more of the Olympic sports.

1. No NIL money, just scholarships. The way it used to be in football/basketball.
2. There’s a portal, but it’s being used for the right reasons. Not just to…[Read more]

And why is Auburn letting him get away?

What say would Auburn have in the matter? In today’s college sports, the athletes have 100% control. If he wants to leave, he wants to leave. Maybe he wants to be a starter somewhere, not the third guy off the bench. Maybe he wants a different role. Maybe he doesn’t like the system of play. Maybe he…[Read more]

I would also like to include the players’ position coaches as well.

If we include position coaches, we might as well just keep it a free-for-all like it is today, because position coaches are always moving around.

Also, this would be a very football-specific rule. It seems like football teams have more layers of management than Goldman S…[Read more]

What if the head coach IS the reason you want to transfer?

Then you shouldn’t have signed up to play for the guy. Decisions have consequences.

That’s why I support student athletes being able to transfer IF their HC leaves or is fired. Because the program is no longer what the kid signed up for. Can’t fault a kid for that. But if the player…[Read more]

Simple solution: You can’t enter the portal unless your team’s head coach quits/gets fired.
