Lots of chatter this week about renovating the Huntsman Center. If we’re investing in the future of that building, we should honor its history too. And there’s one glaring miss: Utah Gymnastics has ZERO banners in the rafters. @UtahAthletics @MarkHarlan @UtahGymnastics 🧵👇

The most lasting legacy of the 2002 Olympics? Not the venues. Not the medals. These trash cans. 24 years later. Still everywhere. Still undefeated. 2034: upgrade… or we running it back?

I'm a bit conflicted on this. But I will read the book. Leaders get judged on two things: What they say and What they do. Cox’s message and branding is consistent. His decisions are ... That gap is where trust is won or lost.

More songs from my dream Simon & Garfunkel tribute album: Scarborough Fair @billieeilish Cecilia @Harry_Styles Homeward Bound @ChrisStapleton & @brandicarlile Mrs. Robinson @KaceyMusgraves & @zachlanebryan Who would you swap out? I would absolutely buy this album!

Someone should make a Simon & Garfunkel tribute album with modern artists. Not ironic covers. Just great voices doing great songs. My dream lineup: Bridge Over Troubled Water @charlieputh The Sound of Silence @Hozier America @NoahKahan The Boxer @TTChilders 🧵👇

@Joshua_Newman It never occurred to me until today that the ONLY sour cream and onion chips I will eat are Pingles. But also, they may be the only Pringles I consider buying.

Good morning. Question of the day: Where do we stand on sour cream and onion potato chips? I’ll start. Completely indifferent, no better than No. 4 if I’ve got options. Talk to me………

@JFurKSL I mean, I think you start with the five NCAA all-around champions. Not sure how you could argue against that.

@jaydhart Ahhh gotcha. Yeah, I don’t disagree with that. I think they could easily add those. Tougher because there’s not a number, but you could still do something.

@JFurKSL It's the individual banners that I am wondering about. Why isn't Megan Marsden or Missy Marlow, etc. up there along side the Basketball players?

@jaydhart The Red Rocks have several banners hanging in the Huntsman Center on the west side. Is there a particular one you'r looking for? They even just hung one for their Big 12 championship.

@JFurKSL You are the expert here. These numbers surprised me. Has any other Utah program gone this long without individual banners?

The Utah Red Rocks résumé is ridiculous: • 140+ All-Americans • 6 NCAA All-Around national champions • 45+ Final Four / Super Six appearances • 10 national titles That’s decades of dominance.

Five All-Around champs. Five easy banner calls. (Plus one coach.) The history’s already there. Let’s start here, then we can argue about who’s next.

And one more obvious name. If coaches and ADs are honored in the rafters then Greg Marsden should be up there too. What he did dwarfs the accomplishments of Big Rick. 40 seasons. 10 national titles. Marketing genius. Built the whole thing. Feels incomplete without him.

@49erCoug That's what I did!

@jaydhart If you want my opinion (of course you do) start your weekend!

Two hours into some good Excel work only to find out the data set is wrong. Now debating if I have the energy to start over or start the weekend early.
