While Cougarboard is a cesspool of irrationality generally, I also don’t think you guys should shy away about acknowledging what great progress is being made in your basketball program and being excited about it and having high expectations. I would too if Utah had done the same thing in bball. Embrace the excitement of it.

Similarly, I, as a…[Read more]

See if this were the approach you took yesterday when you posted, it would have been a much better engagement (though less entertaining). Your comments here are rational and contribute to the conversation.

It always amazes me when middle-aged men act so immature and ridiculous on the internet.

That’s effing stupid

Everything I’ve heard is that the kid is a big Ute fan and Hans would prefer him at the U. That’s all just pontification from internet guy, but it’s what I’ve heard. The folks on Cougarboard are convinced that he’s not going to land at BYU and will end up at the U as it’s the kid’s dream school.

Yes, Hans now works for BYU, but that’s pretty new…[Read more]

Yep, both mine would for that well. I think bro hymn especially would.

Bro Hymn by Pennywise

The opening of Blind by Korn.

Wut? You stopped liking the Padres because the Chargers sold out and moved to LA? or do you think Padres also sold out and moved to LA?

I’m with you on pump up intro song and lighting, but definitely not Seven Nation Army. Great song, but so over done by every school everywhere. We can find something more unique. Like maybe the opening to the sing Blind by Korn or Bro Hymn by Pennywise.

I’m 100% against this. Private equity are a bunch of snakes who squeeze every last dime out of anything they touch. Sure, they can make companies more profitable, but most of that profit goes right into their pockets.

I pretty meh on the Braves now. I’m a die hard Giants fan with the Padres being my #2 and the Orioles are my AL team (but I’ll adopt the Salt Lake team as my AL team when that eventually happens – but I’ll always be Giants #1).

That said, I have no ill will towards the Braves whatsoever. (unlike the Dodgers that I hope die a slow and painful death).

Agree completely. It’s strange how Big-12 fans are so butt hurt over this simple emotion that we Ute fans feel.

Even BYU fans would be more excited playing Oregon, Washington and USC than they are playing Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Kansas.

As a kid (when I lived in Utah pre-teenage years:

NFL: Redskins & Dolphins
MLB: Braves (Thanks TBS!)
NBA: Jazz
CFB/CBB: Utes

Those latter two are still in place, though I’m pretty meh on the NBA.

Hating on Lincoln Riley will forever bind us as fanbases. He abandoned you, we punished him for it. Go and dominate the SEC! I’ll be cheering for you

I’m going to predict that one of our RBs is going to break out and grab hold of the RB1 role and be the breakout player / offensive player of the year.

Notre Dame was awesome. Just wish the team showed up that day. But nothing I’ve been to compares to that.
