About

Grew up in Salt Lake City. I have always liked collegiate sports more than professional leagues due to the passion before/during/after games, seen both in the fans and players, and the amount at stake in each of the contests. Still a lifelong Jazz fan, but college sports are more interesting overall

    I don't think Utah should trade Jefferson...but if they did, now would be as good a time as ever. And if you have Rondo running the point.............ooooooh....people will want to come play in Utah

    Hey Zac I wanna hear your thoughts on a Jazz trade. I know this is so far out there and is just a Utah Jazz dream but what about a Harris and Jefferson/Milsap for a Rondo? Is it worth it for the Jazz to do something like that? And if it is who do you think is realistic? Augustine? Thanks man!

    Zac-

    I was a bit harsh. Your reply was very sincere and I appreciate your humility and professionalism in responding. My comment about having someone with mutual interest in the subject proofreading your stuff was sincere advice, and applicable to both light stuff, like B/R articles, as well as professional writing (kudos on your Ph.D. pursuit). A fresh set of eyes will catch most blatant errors.

    I am not sure how I made such an obvious mistake, that was pretty stupid and I appreciate you calling me out. I guess I was already thinking about this year's title game, though I know that is not a good excuse. I will learn from it, thank you

    How do you write articles on college football and not know who played in last year's NCG? Have someone who follows college football proof read your stuff or discover the power of google instead of embarrassing yourself and the B/R like this.
