The official DnF is the best rendering

I wish the PAC wold bend over backwards to end the BigXII. Texas isn’t bad, they just don’t belong in a conventional conference. UT wants to split their schedule between national brands and Local Fluff, and they really don’t care much about strong regional brands. Which is why all the strong regional brands left the BigXII when they could.…[Read more]

That would be sweet with the real DnF. The updated DnF looks flaccid.

As a former Memphian and current resident of Phoenix, try living somewhere else and Utah’s particular version of fuckuppery isn’t bad at all.

I think people are severely underestimating what a competent coach can do at a well-resources program like Virginia.

Bronco stands up pretty well relative to past coaches at BYU and Utah. BYU’s chances of downgrading are substantial.

Urban M 2-0-0 (0.917 total)
J Maddock no BYU (0.750 total)
L Edwards 22-7-0 (0.716 total)
Armstrong 18-1-3 (0.704…[Read more]

Growing up in the Midwest, we called people who couldn’t distinguish their religion from all the associated baggage “Utah Mormons” – because they all either came directly from Utah or Idaho. The funny thing was they tended to call themselves LDS which along with all the other abbreviations and weird phraseology they used, made us think that Utah…[Read more]

Scheduling a strong OOC opponent really helps too (Baylor knows this). Michigan is doing all the SOS lifting that we need. The PAC has shown well enough OOC (pending the ND games) that it doesn’t matter if USC or ASU or UCLA pick up additional in conference losses. We just need to win the division (still a very tall order) and the rest will take…[Read more]

I hate to break this news given our recent ascendancy in the polls, but the polls don’t matter anymore- at least not for the PAC.

The CFP selection criteria state that the first criteria for selection is “championships won” and set a very high bar for selecting a non-champion such that a “non-champion or independent is unequivocally one of the…[Read more]

Rules:
1) Out of conference games (USC/Furd vs ND): Root for the PAC school.
2) Cross division games: Root for the the North Division school.
3) North division games: Root for Oregon; they’re our marquis win. The rest are sort of minimally relevant.
4) South division games: Root for the bottom teams in the standings: CU > UA > ASU > UCLA > USC.

Looks good.
Love the tds icon

I think you could combine all sports (or maybe separate categories for college and professional sports). What percentage of users are interested in Ute football but not Ute basketball? The vast majority are interested in both. The indexing just divides content along lines where there is no division of interest for the users- it actually makes…[Read more]

Rivals board has non-anonymous up votes. It’s great and would work just as well for down votes I think

I’d like to see a few polls related to navigation and format preferences.
Poll 1:
Do you use “Recent Posts” to navigate this site?
Poll 2:
Do you use “Activity” to navigate this site?
Poll 3:
Do you use the forum “Index” to navigate this site?
Answers for each poll:
1) never/almost never
2) seldom
3) sometimes
4) often
5) always/almost always

Threaded.

Thanks; I forgot a few others.
5. When a post has 3 “likes” and I like that post, it then shows up as “you liked this (1)” which means you no longer can see how many likes the post received. Not a big deal, but sort of weird.
6. Sort of a followup related to number 3. The program is able to distinguish between read and unread topics, but is…[Read more]
