Coach Whittingham, it is time again to thank you and your team, the Utah Utes, for another winning season; yes, this was not the season we all hoped for, but it ended on a high note. Another bowl win, tying with Nick Sa_an, (you fill in the blank) of Alabama for most bowl wins in NCAA history, with the tie breaker going to Whittingham.

To Troy Williams, thank you for being you; what a classy young man. Your leadership is an example we could all learn from. I wish you happiness and success hopefully on the field and off. To the youngsters coming up, the sky is your limit.

I would like to add, I was sorry to see Aaron Roderick and Kalani Sitaki leave Utah for the team down south. I wish them well (just not against Utah). There are so many players like Darren, Chase, Kylie, Lowel and Filipo, just to name a few I hope to see you play on Sundays. Thank you guys for all the fun it has been to watch you play.

Coach, how fortunate we are as Ute fans to have such a dedicated individual to his team and fans.

I hope your commitment to this team will soon pay off with a Pac-12 championship and maybe more.

I would like to close out this letter with three personal beliefs:

Fire engines should always be red.

Orrin Hatch has proven over and over to be a stooge to the wealthy elites and corporate America.

Beat BYU.
