I read their release about how herds of Mammoth existed in Utah based on fossil remains. Do Mormons actually believe in that?
|
Would be quite on point for them to scoff at fossils all while waiting for the day they're lazer beamed off to rule their own planet when they die here on earth. Once you get past the Joseph Smith scams and the racist #### towards black people they get really creative. F'ing lunatics.
I love the logo!

If I attend a game can I get a rack of Mammoth ribs like from the intro to the Flintstones?

Mammoth was also the original name of Van Halen.
They should play "Eruption" as the goal song.

Not too far from there in Hot Springs South Dakota, there is a place called the National Mammoth site which has the remains of a lot of male mammoths. It's one of the largest discoveries of Mammoth fossils and it's very concentrated. Theory is this may have been
This whole part of Eastern Montana, the Dakota's, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado has a lot of fossils. The Dinosaur National momument that borders Utah and Colorado isn't that far from SLC.
So as Science starts to win out...and today's Utah is likely a bit more diverse that that from 30 years ago. This probably does become a big part of the regions history.

A purple forward team would be great. It’s underutilized.

didn't the Coyotes have a purple reverse retro jersey? Probably didn't want any links to the Arizona franchise.

Oh man! The Marketing practically writes itself!
I'm still disappointed they didn't go with the 'Salt Lake City Shakers.'
We had the logo and the mascot and everything all drawn up.
It would have been brilliant!

Alright, so I did a little googling and it appears on the surface that dammage is correct and they were supposed to be Brontosaurus ribs, however, 'Ed's Mammoth ribs' is also technically Flintstones canon.
Apparently there was a divergence upon the introduction of Dino, the Flintstones' Dino-Dog who was a Brontosaurus and a conflict of the Flintstones gleefully consuming Brontosaurus and so they shifted to Mammoth. At what point this occurred is unclear.
More research is required.
Wait...what were we talking about again?

This could be a different fast food excursion than the post-movie scene depicted in the closing credits, which was indeed "Bronto Burgers and Ribs" Drive-in.
Also, Dino would have already poked a hole in the car roof at the movies.
