Frustrated Dad Alert
One of my favorite memories growing up was heading to the local high school with my Dad and brothers. We’d play catch, hit tennis balls, play catch with a football, or smack baseballs on those empty fields. Pure joy.
Today I drove my kids to two Granite School District high schools on a perfect 61° spring day. I wanted to time my daughter on the track and throw with my son.
**Both schools were locked down like Fort Knox.**
Fields empty. Tracks empty. Gates chained. No one there.
I’ve heard every excuse in the book — and they all stink worse than armpits.
We live in a world that’s already fighting to pull kids off phones and get them moving. Why are we making it harder? High school football and baseball participation numbers are dropping for a reason — kids literally can’t find a safe place to practice, disconnect from screens, and connect with their parents.
@GovCox@GraniteSchools — there has to be a better way. Open the fields and tracks when school’s not in session, including weekends. Let families use what our tax dollars already paid for. These are not private clubs for members only. If you were a charter school, I get it, but we pay for these beautiful fields and tracks.
This isn’t just my problem. This is every Utah kid’s problem.
@BarstoolGruden knock on wood if you’re with me…
Who else is with me?
Tag a parent. Tag a coach. Tag your school board member.
Let’s make some noise until they open the gates.

I had an absolute blast getting to do one more Aggie broadcast! And that win was just fabulous and team earned every part of it. I hope it is one to build on to future greatness for my favorite team!
We have a McDonald All American and Gold Medal winner at guard. Correct if I am wrong but has there ever been a McDonald All American in the Mountain West Conference for Womens basketball it's the first in the 40 year history of Womens program that did not exist for 20 years from 86-2004! I am ready to talk, I got time today !! #notfinishing11th
One of the biggest holes in football rule books……
if this is out of bounds - (which it is b/c of the “heel after the toe”) - then how are “toe drag swag” catches *in bounds* — when *those* heels ABSOLUTELY end up out of bounds?

I’m not sure I 100% understand it but I may have stumbled upon a rivalry more bitter than the Holy War and that is Utah State Aggie Ice Crean vs Creamery on 9th? #icecreamwars
