      I think a lot of this is based on the active sports. Nothing more. I personally used to love UA shirts but they have changed their fit in the past 5-6 years and I do not care for them anymore. They are way to tappered and tight for my taste and waste. As for their shoes, my son made me buy him a pair of cleats back around 2009ish and the sole of the shoe completely fell off after a few weeks wearing them. I have never bought a pair of any of their shoes since. They are garbage and the feedback from our athletes and other programs confirms it. I would like to see us move to another brand as soon as we can.

      If you can afford it, Paradise Valley and Scottsdale are amazing areas. If you are on more of a budget, Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert and parts of Tempe are nice too. I would stay on the east side as much as possible.

      For me it is the unique combination of NIL and player movement without any guardrails, the lack of any connection with the Big 12, and the reconnection with BYU that has made this last season almost unbearable. I am actually more excited about season 2 of our hockey team than I am about Utah Football. I am not sure how that happened, and I would like it to not be happening, but I can’t help it. I have been through many, many seasons of Utah football since the late 1970s and what I saw last year was a team that was clearly as good or better than most of their opponents. But they lacked something in order to get over the finish line. I saw zero leadership on the field. I saw coaches with no confidence. I saw no heart. Say what you want to about Cam but when he was on that field he was the leader and his teams played with heart. We need that back. This conference is not that good. If we can get it back we can win this thing and become a magnet for players which will, in turn, nullify the player movement. Getting rid of BYU, however, will likely take a change in conference which I pray for everyday.

      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 for Danny Ainge. They have now stunk for 3 years straight, kept their GM and re-upped their coach. All while the owner is giving our hated rival millions of dollars. I cannot support this crap anymore. I will be putting my support 100% on Alex Jensen and the Utes this winter!

      I’m sorry but having a 6’8″ point guard who rarely, if ever used his length to any advantage, and a 7 footer who neither blocks shots, nor makes free throws, is anything to strive for or compared against what Alex is putting together here. Just a dumb, contrarian take.

      He looks decent and was on a decent team that beat some pretty good teams last season. Nice that we have a true PG again!

      Did you watch Utah football in the 80s? Did you ever what Lance Rice? Come on man! Wilson was not great but he was much better than the parade of mediocrity we had a QB for most of the 70s, 80s, and some of the 90s.
