It’s important to remember that while African Americans were freed from slavery in 1865, systemic oppression, racial violence, and social struggle persists to this day.
To that end, Juneteenth is both a celebration of freedom for Black Americans and a platform for reminding the United States and the world at large that there is still a lot of work today to ensure equality for everyone.
Empower, educate, and celebrate. Happy Juneteenth! 🙂 ❤️

As many of you may have heard, one of our Founding Partners Richard “Rich” Urresti passed away on March 17th 2024 surrounded by his family.
Rich and his business partner Mick McConnell purchased Sib Kleffner Sports Specialist in August of 1972 and changed the Name to McU Sports. “Mc” for McConnell and “U” for Urresti. The store has remained family owned and in the same location for nearly 52 years.
Rich was known for his love of family, coaching, teaching, community support, the Boise State Broncos and above all, his wonderful personality.
There are so many incredible stories about Rich, but one of our favorites is the reason we’re all able to continue working in this wonderful outdoor specialty shop.
After experiencing a drought in the mid 70’s McU Sports was close to shutting the doors. Rich decided he would go to Alaska to work on a fishing boat and earn enough money to keep the business going. His love for the community and his employees goes above and beyond and we cannot thank him and his family enough for what they’ve done.
Rich’s Celebration of Life will be at the Basque Center today from 2:00pm to 5:00pm Friday April 26th.
We would love to hear more about the smiles and laughter he shared during his time with us.
If you have any stories of Rich or just would like to say a few words, please do so at - https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/richard-urresti-obituary?pid=206584159 .
RIP Rich
We Love You Man!
In Rich’s honor we will be closing his Store’s Friday April 26th at 12pm.

Our Story
Mick and Rich purchased Sib Kleffner’s in August of 1972 at the location currently occupied by Boise Bike, McU Sport’s bike division. Mick and Rich renamed the business combining their two last names, thus we have McU Sports. The business not only included the Downtown location, but the rental and retail business at Bogus Basin Mountain Resort and a location at Vista Village. The business moved from its original location at 814 W Jefferson to the other end of the block where they are now located. At the time this location was occupied by Henderen Furniture. In 1976-77 the interior was remodeled and the store front is as it is now. In 1979, long-time employee John Klotz bought in as a shareholder of the business. In 1984, Mick McConnell passed away after a long battle with cancer.
Many employees remember the days of being shuttled to the mountain in a bus driven by Rich Urresti’s dad, Gus. McU Sports maintained the rental and retail shop at the Bogus Basin Ski Resort, next to Bogus Creek Lodge, and a small shop located in the Pioneer lodge now occupied by the Mountain Events office. In 1987, McU Sports opened a skier specific store located in the Highlands at the intersection of Bogus Basin Road and Hill Road. During these years, stores in the Vista Village, Karcher Mall and Shopko Plaza on Fairview came and went. In 1993, Bogus Basin took over management of the rental/retail business at the mountain, thus ending McU Sports’ affiliation with the resort. Subsequently, McU Sports remodeled the Highland Store to include a full rental and repair shop and a larger retail space. For years, the Highland Store closed its doors from May to August. In 2001, Chuck Cremer began leasing the location from McU Sports during these summer months dealing in kayaks, rafts and summer gear to play with after the snow melts. The summer business is called Alpenglow Mountainsport. In 2018, Chuck and Danny Tommack purchased McU Sports from John and Rich. Danny worked at McU Sports in the 1990’s and has returned to Boise with his family.
The store has employed many over the years, giving kids the opportunity of afternoon jobs and giving them spending money and responsibility. The first employee was rehired from Sib Kleffner’s, bookkeeper Jane Miller. She has since retired and lives a great life in Arizona. The second employee was Dave Skinner. Most of you know him as a lawyer and respected teacher. There have been many employees through the years. They have made it at McU University, making a difference, some have moved on to other places in our community or have ventured out finding and making their dreams.
Thank you for being a part of making McU Sports a success story of a locally owned Idaho business.
