Utahns Give Favorite Memories In Utah Sports History

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Fans from around the world are without live sports for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus also known as COVID-19.

With the recent recommendation from the CDC, it is likely that live sports will not return for at least two months.

KSL Sports anchor Jeremiah Jensen reached out to sports fans on Twitter and asked for their favorite sports memories and moments. Jensen then went into the archives and posted the video on Twitter.

We all miss live sports. There is no replacement but it helps a little to go back and re-watch our favorite sports moments from the past. If you have a Utah sports highlight/moment you want to see make a request and I'll post it. #takenote #BYU #Utes #AggiesAllTheWay @KSL5TV pic.twitter.com/CU4hjlPSnL
