Reading Time: < 1 minute When scheduling a night for Ronnie Price’s Hall of Fame induction, UVU athletic director Mike Jacobson did a smart thing in slating it during the Wolverines’ matchup with a three-win team.

New Year’s resolutions […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes In an extraordinary chain of events, Real Salt Lake went from likely missing-the-playoffs to MLS Cup champs in just a few short weeks. Needing a win in the final game of the regular season over Colorado, and with several other chips needing to fall RSL’s way, the Claret-and-Cobalt snagged the win over the Rapids and […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes It was a true David versus Goliath story, but in this case the Goliath character handled the character playing David quite easily.
