  “BYU wouldn’t win this game if Joe Montana was its quarterback.”Yeah, I said that before the Cougars went out and beat Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday in the biggest win of Kalani Sitake’s coaching career, and … I was wrong. I own it. Not only do I own it, I’m buying it — dinner for two co-workers and their wives at any restaurant of their choosing. Why? Because I also proclaimed that if BYU won this game, which I was sure it wouldn’

  Earlier this summer, Christine Blasey Ford wrote a confidential letter to a senior Democratic lawmaker alleging that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her more than three decades ago, when they were high school students in suburban Maryland. Since Wednesday, she has watched as that bare-bones version of her story became public without her name or her consent, drawing a blanket denial from Kavanaugh and roiling a nomination that just days ago seemed all but certain to succe

  16-09-2018 20:07
  Former Utah quarterback Troy Williams lost a close game to his old Washington teammates at Rice-Eccles Stadium two years ago and inaccurately predicted the Top 25 teams would meet again in the Pac-12 championship game. Ute linebacker Cody Barton made the same promise Saturday night, with even less supporting evidence.“I’m confident that we’ll see them again,” the senior co-captain said after a 21-7 loss to the No. 10 Huskies to begin Pac-12 play.Nobody else in the Pac-12

  Madison, Wis. • After he had chest-bumped dozens of players and fellow coaches and danced in a jubilant BYU locker room in a clip that was shown on virtually every Saturday night college football highlight show in the country, coach Kalani Sitake opened his postgame news conference with a simple statement.“Well, that was fun,” the third-year coach said after the Cougars shocked No. 6 Wisconsin 24-21 to end the Badgers’ 41-game home winning streak and, quite possibly, their

• With small arts groups booming, Salt Lake County may rethink how it gives them millions in funding

  16-09-2018 19:30
  The number of small arts and cultural organizations in Salt Lake County is booming — and it may have consequences for the way taxpayer funds are distributed in the future.The Zoo, Arts and Parks (ZAP) program will fund more groups than ever this year with $2.2 million split among 183 organizations. But since the county had less than the approximately $3.4 million applicants requested this year, almost every group got less than it asked for, according to program director Kirsten Darrington.

  After the 9/11 attacks, organizers of the 2002 Winter Olympics — held just five months later — considered keeping fans away amid worries about terrorism, and perhaps merely televising events with no one in the stands.Also, many countries said they feared for the safety of their athletes and were reluctant to send them, forcing the Salt Lake Organizing Committee to work hard to calm their worries — an effort that included private briefings in Utah to share secret intelligence pl

  It’s a Monday morning at Ogden High School, and, once again, Erik Thompson believes he can win. He’s thought this before, but he’s come up short each time. Thompson has no playbook in hand, no whistle; he’s certainly not on the sidelines. No, he’s on a Pickleball court facing one of the school’s best athletes, a star on the Tigers baseball team, in a game of one-on-one.Each showdown usually has the same stakes: If Thompson wins, the student-athlete will give f
