      I hate asking for money, but I want the site to support itself financially. I happy to continue to donate my software development skills and time to administer as part of my contribution to the community.  The fundraisers have helped to keep the site running, without having to show the users any ads. Have you noticed that? No ads!

      The last donation was 12 days ago and that put us up to $1834.24 of the $2500 goal, for 73%. Thank you very much to all who have donated so far. If you can afford to, please consider making a donation to help the site/app cover operating costs, which are about $210/mo. No donation is too small, or too big!

      Last year I think we hit around $2200 before it became obvious that no more funds were going to be donated. I get that people are probably down on Ute related stuff right now with how bad the season is going, but the site costs don’t change based on the football team’s record!

      Click or scan the QR code below to donate via Venmo. If Venmo asks for the last for of my phone it is 2504. But you can skip that option.

        You run a great site and I think it’s pretty cool that you do this all on your own.

        Also, there’s enough animosity in our rivalry, but at the end of the day we have way more in common than what school we cheer for.

        Keep up the good work.

            Haha. Not sure how I feel about this title. But thank you, I guess.

            In all seriousness, I joined Utehub to share some views from a BYU fan perspective. I thought I would get ripped to shreds, but you all have been pretty cool. There are several Ute posters on CB I really respect and who are good dudes. I’ve said multiple times that my BIL played for the U and he’s an incredible dude. I don’t hate Utah.

            I partially donated because I wanted to demonstrate that as much as many of you hate BYU fans, we’re not all idiots. I think so much of the vitriol is the vocal minority (on both sides), doing/saying dumb things. Then that gets blasted into our echo chambers and we start to believe that “all BYU / Utah fans must be that way”. It’s just like politics.

            I know the rivalry will never be civil because, duh, it’s a rivalry for a reason. But it has gotten too toxic.

            Anyway, thanks for letting me be here to share my views. You guys have a great site and I respect that you are pretty honest about your own team, and you listen to differing views. It’s pretty cool.

            Good luck against the Buffs.

              Roy High guys have always been the coolest.

              @Jim – now if our CB “friend” TCuz would donate that would be something!
