Presidents like Obama and Trump – both highly underqualified – but effective media manipulators

I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees this. Obama was arguably the least qualified President ever. He wasn’t a terrible President, he was average I guess, but he had no business being elected President. Also, I agree that Trump too was wholly unq…[Read more]

Honestly, I bet you find a lot of things simply interesting and 99.9% of them you don’t post on UteHub

I agree it’s better overall, but I’m really torn. On the one hand we would have such better leadership and be in a better position if we used the electoral college as it was designed. I.e. we choose/vote for electors and they then vote for President. One of the major problems with democracy is that most people are too ignorant to make good…[Read more]

Then they should give the Utah, Arizona, and Colorado schools the liberty to do an independent schedule if they want.

Face it: Most (not all, but most) of the conferences who pushed forward this fall are full of truck driving schools. They haven’t had a good understanding of the virus and they still don’t.

Right, this sentence right here tells us where you stand. You can go ahead and say “I don’t know who’s right and who’s wrong”, but clearly your mind is mad…[Read more]

Well, I’ve already got my teams decided from the other P5’s that I’ll mull over:

SEC: Tennessee <- my least objectionable of all SEC teams (aside from Vandy, but who hates Vandy?)
ACC: Virginia <- Love me some Thomas Jefferson
Big-12: Oklahoma State <- Hates Oklahoma, is good enough to compete, and is often a thorn in Texas’ side.

Now it’s time to deliver. Get to November undefeated and then fight like mad in the ridiculousness that our November schedule is.

Well you could easily and safely allow 25% capacity, spread out the folks with empty rows and seats in between (and I don’t mean everyone is every other seat, rather groups (like a family) can sit together but apart from other groups, and require that everyone must wear a mask. If you get caught without a mask, you get a single warning, a 2nd…[Read more]

That’s true, but if most Universities go to on-line / remote only then the safest place for the players to be would be on campus as no one else will there. It will be interesting to see if the U sticks with the hybrid or goes to almost all on-line. I’m going to be teaching a course there this next semester and my course is 100% online.

I almost guarantee Football will be played in the fall. There is simply too much money, and as a result too many Universities that absolutely rely on the money from Football. I could see DivII and lower and maybe FCS cancelling, but I’d be shocked if FBS cancels, especially the P-5’s. You think the University of Alabama could survive without…[Read more]

I hate these posts. You’ll see folks on CougarBoard complaining about the same thing from a different perspective. Don’t you all realize that 1280 the Zone and any other number of local radio and TV and news are in the business of attracting as many eyeballs (or ears) as possible? It is in their best interest to say good things about the Utes,…[Read more]

Probably not a popular opinion here, but I’m super bummed about losing the BYU game. That sucks. I’m even more ticked about losing the @Wyoming game as I’ve never seen a game in Laramie and was hoping to make the trek out there to see it.

This, Scalley did something stupid and ignorant. But what he did in now way warranted getting fired. And the U should be applauded for not caving to irrational, blood-thirsty activists.

Considering how often you claim to be educated and informed, your ignorance is huge here and it is so, so tiring.

The only explanation for this is that you haven’t actually read anything about what happened and are ignorant to the context. Either that or you are a completely irrational person incapable of considering nuance and accepting anything other than zero-sum.

What do you mean we don’t have context, we have tons of context:
* He used the word with Shah in a text.
* Sha, who is black, use the word N***a’s in a text to Scalley
* Scalley responded with something like, well, “I just landed that n***a.”
* Sha didn’t take offense and wasn’t offended.
* The text accidentally went to a recruit
* Scalley flew…[Read more]

Boy I’ve seen some bad takes in my day on UteHub, but this could be the worst. I wouldn’t be at all shocked if Whitt were gone in the next 5 years, but your marginalization of Whittingham and essentially saying his is mediocre and not really very good, is completely asinine and stupid.

As a serious answer, I definitely vote for Moose. It’s unique, they are local to Utah, and they are dangerous and awesome
