Pointers for young families looking to purchase a home: 1. Max loan -- 4x your annual income is a good rule of thumb 2. Min down payment -- Having 4%+ of the purchase price to put down helps 3. Credit -- Scores at 620+ normally work Shoot me questions any time, y'all.

Utah, your governor is impressive. I'm down with his more charity, less vitriol approach to these social/cultural issues. This is the type of GOP politician I could get behind. This is the kind of Mormon that makes me proud to be Mormon.

Boise State won 10 games this season and BYU beat them on the Smurf Turf. One could argue that win in Boise was BYUs best win this season.
