I don't think Jackson realizes what a big deal it is to be offered a full ride scholarship to the UofU, and I am grateful for that. He has continued to be a humble, sweet person through all the offers and awards, which include, first team all conference, 2nd team all state, bengal of the tri (voted best soph student by BHS faculty) and best youth speaker in our ward.
The last one is my, not so humble opinion.
Go Utes and Go Jacky Boy.
Utah Man
I am a Utah man, sir and I live across the green.
Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.
Our coeds are the fairest and each one's a shining star.
Our yell, you hear it ringing through the mountains near and far.
Who am I, sir, a Utah man am I:
A Utah man, sir, and will be till I die: Ki! Ki!
We're up to snuff: we never bluff.
We're game for any fuss.
No other gang of college men dare meet us in the muss.
So fill your lungs and sing it out shout it to the sky.
We'll fight for dear old crimson for..... a Utah Man am I!
And when we prom the avenue, all lined up in a row.
And arm in arm and step in time as down the street we go.
No matter if a freshman green, or in a senior's gown,
The people all admit we are the warmest gang in town.
We may not live forever on this jolly good old sphere,
But while we do we'll live a life of merriment and cheer.
And when our college days are o'er and night is drawing nigh,
With parting breath we'll sing that song:
A Utah Man am I!
