Jam-packed Saturday in local women's roller derby comin' at ya: Up Layton way, Ogden's Junction City Roller Dolls play their first bout of the 2010 season; in Salt Lake City, Wasatch Roller Derby play their third (and, technically, fourth).
A simple declaration: Utah State has the best student fan section in all of college basketball.
For the second time this month, Wasatch Roller Derby bouts at the Salt Palace in downtown SLC--but this time, instead of playing with themselves (let's re-phrase that: against themselves), WRD is facing off against Idaho's Treasure Valley Roller Girls in the first inter-league game of the local season on Saturday, Feb. 27.
Real Salt Lake faces a lot this season, most notably proving that winning the MLS cup wasn't a fluke. Its plan to reach that goal, apparently, is by not changing the team from last year. Which for defender Jamison Olave, according to a news story last weekend by Spanish sports reporter Carlos Artiles in the local Hispanic press, meant his team turning down an offer he wanted to pursue.
As the Utah Jazz remain on a hot streak, fan chatter remains stuck on the future of Carlos Boozer in Utah. The team is thriving in Boozer's latest injury absence, many observe; we've seen the future with Paul Millsap as a starting forward, and it continues to look pretty bright. Yet there remains a surprising level of ambivalence, as Boozer has posted big offensive and rebounding numbers when healthy. Will he be traded before the deadline in a season now showing the potential for playoff success? Will he remain part of the Jazz's future?
Before you think about how you'd want that question answered by Jazz management, I'd offer this simple statement: The Jazz will never be winners with Carlos Boozer. And Carlos Boozer will never be a winner.
