I know, I know, I haven’t posted much mortgage-related material lately but what can I say… the industry is sort of in free fall right now and I’d rather think/write about happier things.

Soooooooo… that being said, check out the Utah Pig Crew Bus a group of die hard Utah fans are converting.

WOOOHOOOO!!!

Gads I haven’t posted in quite some time. Summer has flown by. The wholesale mortgage landscape is going crazy right now - subprime lenders are dropping like flies. It’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

In other Utah news… football season is almost here and this year should be a fun one for Utah fans. Sorry BYU fans - you’ll most likely be back to another losing season

Home prices here haven’t started falling, that I know of, but I suspect it won’t be too long til we catch up with the rest of the country. Hold on tight kids it’s going to be an interesting ride.

It’s only fitting that I follow up my last post about Ray Giacolletti leaving Utah with a post about his successor, Jim Boylen, Utah’s new men’s basketball head coach. It will be interesting to see how Boylen does as a first-time head coach, but so far all indications point to him being a top-notch coach.

I don’t spend all my time working on mortgages, and can often be found cheering on the University of Utah in football or basketball. The last two basketball seasons have been particularly frustrating for Utah fans, and today Coach Ray Giacoletti resigned from his post as head coach.

The news is bittersweet because Coach Giac did take the Utes to a sweet sixteen in his first year, though it appears now that was mostly thanks to the player Bogut turned out to be. For that season anyway, it appeared the Utes had another fine coach that would continue the legacy of Utah Basketball.

At any rate, it will be exciting to see who Dr. Chris Hill brings in as Giac’s replacement. And now it’s back to work…
