    Utah is an good team, this was a good win. Down 10 more than half way through the third quarter I was sure we were losing. Congrats to the players for not being me.

    Damn that was fun!

    Most of what an AD does is behind the scenes, including specifically fundraising. There were have to judge on the results over time, not our perceptions or what is our isn't happening. And you can't go on just a year or two, because the stock market has a huge impact on philanthropy.

    Block/charge rule change
