I told her she should have more faith. Utah won't break our hearts tomorrow, theyll wait for everything to be aligned for a playoff birth, then break our hearts against Kansas

SALT LAKE CITY — Thousands of Utah families who rely on food assistance will begin seeing their full November SNAP benefits as early as Friday, following the reopening of the federal government.
