    1 week ago | sltrib.com | Gordon Monson

    If you were the athletic director at Utah or BYU, or the commissioner of the Big 12, and you were meeting with the other P4 conference commissioners about the future of the College Football Playoff, what would be your play?

  • Now it's time for Ryan, Danny and Justin to make some Utah Jazz luck of their own

    Although Napoleon Bonaparte may have said it, along with a number of other historical figures at various times and in various ways, in sports, New York Yankees pitcher Lefty Gomez is credited with popularizing the saying back in the 1930s.

  • Are tall LDS temple steeples really worth fighting for?

    1 month ago | sltrib.com | Gordon Monson

    Is a fight over the design of a holy place worth having? Or is neighborly peace a better course for a church bent on building big, beautiful, bulbous houses where it says the Lord can dwell?
