100 Years of Utah Basketball






We had a fun experience on Saturday afternoon. We attended the U of U basketball game with Ty and Tiff's family. The event was not just a basketball contest between Utah and San Diego, it was the event commemorating 100 years of basketball at the UofU. Everyone who had played at Utah in the past 100 years was invited to a special luncheon and honored at half-time. Ty was one of those invited to participate. They also honored the Sweet Sixteen Century Team which included several players with whom Ty had played in various capacities. Note: Keith Van Horn, Andre Miller, Alex Jensen and Michael Doleac to name a few. Tom Chambers and Danny Vranes were also on the Sweet Sixteen team, as was Jeff Judkins. Ty had a great time hanging out with the other "gym rats" he has known through the years. They were all very cordial to him. They named each player by name and then gave out U of U jerseys to the sixteen players on the special Century team. Way to go, Ty! It is an honor just to be on the floor with all those who enjoy basketball as much as you do.

That was so much fun. I know Ty was happy that you and Hugh were there. You raised an amazing guy and we sure do love him!
