That was my understanding also. I remember reading somewhere (can’t find it now) that Fox might not pay full shares, or whatever. Info is sketchy.

But, I think it will be full shares.

Just found this: Sheer saying full shares.

Yes

Some are reporting on the possibility of having to accept lesser shares. Don’t know if there is real smoke to this, or if trolls are trolling again.

Some Ute fans mainly on Twitter trashing the Big-XII, their locations (referring to them as “truck stop” cities over and over). Combined with some “depression/anger” phases of a cycle we are in causing these Ute fans to magnify their frustrations and take it out on Big-XII fans (amplified by their dislike of BYU who is in the conference).

I agree with others that are concerned about this game for Utah. Will be tough. There are some Ute fans that are over confident for this game.

Other than that, I don’t have much analysis to add.

Do us a favor and crush BYU eventime they play Baylor. LOL.

My experience has been the same. I have BYU friends and acquaintances, and not one I don’t like. But Cougarboard? Holy moley, what a cesspool of frustration, hatred, and pure animosity towards Utah, the Pac-12, etc.

I get that they don’t like us from a rivalry point of view, but the hatred goes to another level. It is DEEPLY personal for them.…[Read more]

Since the photo is in Oregon’s stadium, that would be my guess.

Things I have read recently on CB, in no particular order:

1) Utah plays in the Pac-12 – a G6 league.

2) Kaelin Clay’s drop

3) You can get STD’s by attending a Rice-Eccles game with all the spit

4) Kaelin Clay’s drop

5) No one celebrates a loss like the Utes

6) BYU has a “chance to jump into a higher recruiting tier than Utah”

7) Kaelin…[Read more]

Mikey Matthews 2023. Composite 4-star.

LOVE this guy!

His commitment video just demonstrates several things: he’s intelligent and communicates well. He put a lot of thought into his recruitement. He’s grateful and gives thanks to his high school team and coaches and is grateful to be pushed to his limits. He pointed out the Utah culture and how it is everything to him.

He…[Read more]

This is great. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed it, and I’m happy for Clay. What a great asset to LAPD.

As a side note, when I saw the title to this thread, I thought “Kaelin Clay is probably in a post somewhere on CougarBoard”, given that they post his drop there all the time. So I wandered over to CB, and sure enough, there it is! A whole thread…[Read more]

Yea I agree. A borderline 3/4 star he is. Just for fun, here is a summary of his ratings on all four recruiting sites. He’s a 4-star (barely) on three of the four sites and a high 3-star on one.

Rankings

But you’re right on his offer list. Very impressive. Offers from LSU, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Oregon, etc.

Update: all three crystal balls, including Steve Bartle, have him going to Illinois. Looks likely that Utah will miss out on this one. Bummer.

New CV in for him to Illinois.

Ca’lil Valentine. Steve Bartle gave a crystal ball for him to Utah today.

Bad news is that top Utah player Isaiah Garcia just received a crystal ball to Stanford. While his crystal ball to Utah by Bartle still remains, it seems he is trending away from Utah to out of state.

I watch the games alone also. I even attend home games alone.

Excellent analysis. It was a pleasure to read.

My biggest worry is Rising’s health. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has at least a minor injury that either causes him to have an off game that we lose that we otherwise shouldn’t, or he misses a few games, resulting in a loss or two that normally wouldn’t be losses. But if that doesn’t happen…[Read more]

Honestly, for me it was the Rose Bowl this year. I acknowledge the other losses listed in comments before mine, but I was never really a die-hard fan previous to 2011 or so – just a casual fan. So the 2009 TCU loss, for example, was irritating to me, but not being a die-hard fan, I shrugged it off. Admittedly, the 2007 BYU 4th and 18 loss pissed…[Read more]

“Cougarboard is the most negative, hateful, and angry site I have ever seen.”
Completely agree. It is shocking how angry they are.

“They of course hate Utah and the PAC12. But, they also hate everything about Boise State, Utah State, Wyoming, SDSU, and many more.”
Also, Coastal Carolina, Memphis, and probably a few others.

“I assume that…[Read more]
