In Memory of Jay Rudd

Today we attended the funeral for our dear friend Jay Rudd.  It was at his church called "The Fellowship".  There were many stories of Jay shared from those who knew him well.  Kyle was asked to share some things from his relationship with Jay over the years, and I thought Kyle did a very good job showing the spirit that Jay brought to the Utah Football team just by being there.  Jay loved to be a part of the team, he would take film home and watch it over and over and look for things he could point out to the team in his weekly pep talks on Thursdays before the game.  Kyle said Jay was never late and never missed a practice in 9 years.  We will miss his presence around the office, practice, and game day!

Utah Football Scrimmage

I went to the Utah Football Scrimmage that was tonight from 5-7 pm.  The weather was nice and I had a nice time.  There was a small crowd there and it was Junior Day, so there was a large group of boys who will be seniors from the local high schools who were in attendance.  There was a dinner at the stadium after the scrimmage was over.  A lot of the boys had their parents there with them also.

I can't imagine having all these people in my face every day.  This is not even during the regular season.
