  Herriman • The season so far for Real Salt Lake has been somewhat of a mixed bag. Sometimes the team looks great, like it can conquer anything or anyone. At other times, well, they simply don’t.What is perhaps most indicative of RSL’s hot-and-cold nature is the way it has played against some of the top teams in Major League Soccer. Against clubs that would be ticketed for the playoffs if the season ended right now, RSL has a 5-8-2 record.Looking at only the top Western Conferenc

  This time, Tony Finau made a more conventional birdie on No. 16, contributing to another rally in the Ryder Cup.The ending was different, though. Finau and partner Brooks Koepka couldn't complete their comeback, losing 2 and 1 to Europe's Sergio Garcia and Rory McIlroy in a fourball match Saturday at Le Golf National in Paris.The defeat was part of a difficult day for the American team, trailing 10-6 after four rounds of play and needing to win eight of 12 singles matches Sunday to keep the Cup.

She had been unwell, however, and the nuns at her orphanage did not think she would survive the next six months. We thought if we could just get her home, we could get her healthy.On

The inequality isn’t just apparent in education but in our beloved Utes athletics.According to the State of Utah Auditor, The University of Utah generated more than $12 million
