Oh, so dirt's not good enough for you? Let me tell you, when I was your age, we used real dirt in our coffee. Didn't have any of those fancy beans, or even hot water, just water from a puddle and some dirt from the pasture to make our morning drink.

Hahahaha. Right now on ESPN they are re-running the Rockets/Heat game from earlier tonight, and Shaq hucked up an airball during a free-throw. I don't even think it hit the net.

While there is coffee to be found in Utah, and especially in SLC, it is definately harder to come by than it is in other states, and especially in the smaller cities around Utah. I spent a couple of months up in a tiny town in northern Utah, Brigham City of all places, and it was pretty hard to find coffee. Instead of the commonly known coffee stands on the streets, there were snowcone stands and other replacements. However, I realized that coffee is indeed available in cities such as Ogden, SLC, Logan, etc...

And about the lower percentage alcohol. Tis true sadly. I was actually there visiting my sister and that trip happened to fall during my 21st birthday. Let's just say that I didnt get as drunk as I should have or wanted to....... But I sure tried....hehe

Yeah, I'm sure in Brigham City it is... that place is out in the middle of nowhere.

Here there is a coffee shop in every little commerce plaza.

Yeah, I know....very "middle of nowhere". I just happen to live in an Oregon town that is also "middle of nowhere" status, so I can make the comparison. Here, in a slightly larger town, but very similarly sized, there are about 7 coffee stands. There were none there. Like I said though, the bigger cities in Utah are completely different.

By the way, I am not trying to be combative or anything. Just throwing out my personal experience.
Also, after my visit to Utah, I realized that the state gets an unfair bad-rap. Sure, there are a lot of mormons, blah blah blah, and they do seem to have a bit more social control than religions do in other states, but I came away impressed. I enjoyed my stay there and it kind of changed my mind about the state in general. I had a great time in SLC; saw a concert or two there. I had a great time out on the Bear River National Wildlife Refuge, where my sister was working at the time, flying around the salt marshes on bayou boats. I also had a great time out in the wilderness as we did some hiking and swimming out in the Bear River canyon area. There was a really nice lake in fact east and north of Logan.... I don't quite remember what it was called though. Very beautiul, however.

I had a mormon friend once, he tried to convert me, we stopped being friends after that.

Utah, it's not your father's Delaware.

Actually I've been to Utah, and it's truly God's country....errrr Joseph Smith's country anyway.

STOMP

**crandc** · 10-26-2006, 07:17 AM

Hey, Stomp, I still love Duds.
But I remember one free throw he shot. Nothing but net. Trouble was it hit the bottom of the net and sailed out of bounds.

drexlersdad · 10-26-2006, 07:29 AM

Chris Dudley could not even put dunks in let alone free throws. It was like playing 4 on 5 on offense.

I SUCK

EDIT: Damn, Stomp beat me to Dudsbashing. REPPED!

What a wonderful representation of the members on this board. Way to go.

"Someone is joking around!?!? Quickly, insult everything you can about Utah... uh, uh, Mormons!... and a lake... which is salty! Oh man... burned."

The rule on this board is like your family. If you're in it, you can make fun of it all you want and get away with it. If you're an outsider doing that.....then this is what you get..

mook · 10-26-2006, 08:51 AM

I remember watching warmups before a game and seeing Dudley whiff 10 free throws in a row. I didn't know if I should be depressed or impressed that the guy kept trying.

that was the thing about Duds that kept him playing so long despite having basically no talent--he was seven feet tall and he just kept trying. lesson to us all.

SodaPopinski · 10-26-2006, 09:05 AM

Here's the thing, Johnny Utah. Jamaal Magloire is one of our guys. We can make fun of him all we want. But when someone else comes in and makes fun of him, it's a different story. It's like a brother or sister. You can tease him or her mercilessly, and it's funny. But when some stranger from school picks on them, that's a different story.

Nobody here cares what a Jazz fan thinks about one of our players airballing a free-throw. Obviously you never watched Greg Ostertag.

Here's a funny story. Travis Outlaw dunking on Kirilenko. Twice. In Portland. You know, the game earlier this week you lost where your starters logged heavy minutes.

And everyone else here is right. Salt Lake City blows. It's a wonder you guys get any NBA free agents to go there. I had a friend who went to University of Utah, and when I visited him out there - it sucked. Let's just say the highlight of the trip is when we drove 5 hours to Las Vegas.
