  So my dad's moving to Salt Lake City. I know very little about the area, so it should be neat to visit sometime. Ever since I learned of his move out west, I've found myself wondering "what's a Ute? " Well, to help all my faithful fans out there, a Ute is an American Indian tribe for which the state of Utah is named. They've been in the Utah/Colorado area for at least 1,000 years & they were among the 1st American Indians to use the horse as transportation.
According to my dad, who has also done some research on the area, the Utes & Mormons really didn't get along too well, so the Mormons sought help from the government. To show their gratitude, the Mormons have generally been supportive of the government & its programs. Which is why big chunks of Utah are owned by the government for testing & military bases/research.
I must add that this paragraph is oversimplified, but it's the gist of what has transpired over the last couple hundred years. -- On a separate note, I must say that Duke should not have lost to UConn. UConn is an excellent team & they won fairly, but Duke allowed them to do so. Poorly timed passes, lax defense at times, and poor shot selection were all factors in Duke's loss. They have the knowledge and the skill level to perform at a much higher level, but almost seemed as though they chose not to. I honestly believe they were playing at a level that would have helped them to the championship. I'm not sure what crumpled (Maybe pressure of being underdogs? Maybe too many young players looking forward? Maybe...) I suppose there's always next year.
