I hope you didn’t expect anything to change.

Wonder if those solar tile roofs will ever become affordable. Seems like a no brainer benefit to the whole area.

Timing is fine as others have said. IMO it is month late. But my secret cope hope is that Alex Jensen has been effectively handshook signed already. With the Luka trade happening maybe Jensen is ready for a Utah gig again.
Jazz ain’t getting any better soon.

Doesn’t really move a needle for me. Unfortunately Harlan will be responsible to hire the next coach so most likely more of the same.

I thought he had a tough sell considering Men’s Basketball actually won big 12 games. Something none of us were expecting. Ultimately you are losing off the court to Poo Poo though so something needed to be done.
Smith had some ranked home wins but so did Poo Poo. Then you just show the trajectory really hadn’t changed. Looking at the Stat sheet you can see the coaching problems. Free throws being the obvious one.

Be nice to see Runnin Utes basketball again.

Not sure. It is still kind of a crazy landscape. I feel like this is a bubble swelling that will eventually pop.
I think schools should be allowed to choose. If they want to pay their kids ridiculous sums stop with the “student-athlete” facade.

Make them employees, get a CBA and pay them as professional athletes.

If you want to keep them as students give them degrees by all means. This does feel like the college football landscape is on the brink of imploding.

I think if you compare the programs of Boylen Larry K etc. you can see a common thread of pride in something more. Utah may not always have the best in the nation talent. But many times you have talent that can elevate itself through coaching and a core message.

Majerus with all of his quirks he had a program that inspired pride in players. Coach Whitt and Urban same thing. They create a program that has something more than just what’s in it for me.

This probably goes without saying but I would say you could see the idea of Runnin’ Utes basketball slowly fade into nothing. I felt like Larry K did the best at trying to stop it. It’s why many of us gray haired people who grew up watching great basketball on the hill desire a return with Jensen or Miller.

Long winded reply Miami. I was mostly busting your chops. I think most of us have zero expectations for this team. Even though I would say Craig Smith exceeded them in the W column this season. Everything else is dogs**t though.

Came to comment this as well. Man this really made me want to pick scabs from that time frame. Aggravating how inept it was.

99.9999999% of the time one qb leading the team is all you need.

I would be the coworker that wouldn’t agree to him being right and extend the meeting by an hour.

Yeah I understand. Isn’t really a complaint. Like for instance when I load this thread on the app it shows the OP for a second while it loads. I don’t usually view ignored user threads. But I happened to view this post on my desktop where I am logged out usually.

Being more of a libertarian. That is small L not affiliating with any political party has always made me feel “politically homeless”. I definitely agree with the fabricated tribalism that both sides drive to purposely divide Americans is something I don’t want on this site. But is also agree with Tony that if you don’t want to listen to someone anymore simply ignore them.

Maybe the problem is that when you are logged off you can still see that same person post? For whatever reason that chaps people up still is my theory. Like the OP for this post I have on ignore. I see the post but chose to participate still because I found posters I enjoy to interact with.

I want to say it is just about having a thicker skin when it comes to what people say about you online. That isn’t easy for many people.

Utah Republicans are different. I say that as someone who has lived here my whole life. That may go without saying but I appreciate the current MAGA slightly I still feel it is just the new pushed tribalism. Anything that cuts government is an overall good thing imo.

I think a larger issue that many haven’t thought to address is AI and its impact on devaluing humanity by a very large margin. I feel it is something we haven’t begun to account for and no side is working on that because they know enemies of America will use it regardless. Ultimately the issues that Democrats seems to want to protect do not account for the future of AI and it seems like the most dehumanizing thing on the horizon. It will shatter the human psyche eventually.
