Should we have a contest to decide who the final torchbearer will be? I have a pin that I would donate as first prize.

Provo got a skiff of snow, I heard SLC got 2-4 inches, and northern Utah got blasted with snow this morning. I'll bet the SLOC is worried big time about the weather. If it snows like it did this morning, a lot of Olymipcs stuff up in the mountains will come grinding to a halt.

And I was up in SLC for a family gathering last night. We drove on I-15 by downtown SLC. Wow, I am so impressed. The banners on all of the buildings are spectacular, especially when they are lit up. The background of the recap on NBC and the medals ceremonies is just going to be awesome.

For Political Corrctness sake, the Final Tourchbearer will be that one-eye-black-Jewish girl that won that whatchmacallit event back in whenever...

But if that doesn't work out then 'Ol Jimbo Carter who shut the Olympics down in '78 would be a good choice.

Given that the State of Utah is determined to not turn this into the Mormon Olympics, it's probably a pretty safe bet that Gordon B. Hinckley won't be the one a-huffin' and a-puffin' up those last few steps... ;-)

I hope the torch-bearer is a descendent of one of Utah's most famous sons...

Philo T. Farnsworth

Inventor of television.

Let's see. Must be mixed race (prefer black / asian / American Indian mix); female (prefer lesbian) and handicapped (prefer wheelchair bound or blind).

Know any celebrity - status types that would fit the bill?

I'll argue that it will be SLC that will come to a halt as all it's snow removal crews will be tasked to the "Security Olympics" instead......

Stay Safe ,...hope your doing well !

Karl Malone! (I don't think so. Didn't SLOC tell him to get lost after his last media outburst?)

It was Muhammid Ali last time. I would stay up to watch Ronald Reagan, even in a wheel chair, light that torch.

My vote is Stein Eriksen.

Tradition, foreign and local connections, healthy older man makes Utah seem a great place to retire, etc.
