Black guy dancing silly? You just killed the illusion.
I get what you’re saying but my point is that it’s more a part of our story telling structure as it helps paint a more vivid picture. Is it unnecessary at times, sure, but it’s not necessarily indicative of racism or prejudice.

Almost anytime anybody tells a story or talks about something that happened where a black person was involved they start by saying “this black guy” or something similar. I don’t think it’s racist or even a problem most of the time. When we’re describing something to somebody we’re essentially painting a picture for them, and it’s easier to see the…[Read more]

Didn’t she contrive some controversy years ago, which basically ended the relationship between her and the Utes?

Add another shutout to the list. Game ends 8-0 by mercy rule in six innings. Amazing. 7-0 on the season with 6 shutouts and a total score of 65-5. I don’t care who they’re playing, that’s impressive.

Softball is ranked 16th in the nation and has won 6 games by a total score of 57-5 with all 5 runs coming from San Jose State. Three-quarters of the team is from SoCal, so it’s not a huge surprise, but the stadium is majority Utah fans today. Love this program and what Coach Hogue has done with it.

Tacoma Ute replied to the topic Cooper Bateman in the forum Football 7 years, 9 months ago
A couple things. He probably didn’t want to go to a team that will win about 4 games. I strongly suspect he was assured he’d have a great chance of starting at QB here, otherwise he wouldn’t have come. There has to be a reason his enrollment was kept hush-hush. It got out when a journalist acting on a tip looked him up on the student enrollment…[Read more]

So, when I referred to German people as “spike heads” in front of my children, that probably wasn’t cool?

Tacoma Ute replied to the topic Utah Jazz grades up until now in the forum NBA 7 years, 9 months ago
They had arguably one of the best 2 1/2 game road stretches in franchise history against Atlanta, NO and the first half of the Dallas game. They really peed the bed after that. Very disheartening. Still, they’re doing quite well considering the ridiculous amount of injuries.

And San Francisco is full of liberal millionaires. You simply cannot afford to live in the city if you aren’t very highly paid. Even historically impoverished areas such as Fillmore and Hunter’s Point have been overrun by tech workers. The tech…[Read more]

I’m afraid that to get in the dance we’ll either have to win the tourney or beat two of UCLA, UA or Oregon. I think we could play Oregon 100 times and be lucky to win one.

To answer your initial question: I don’t think that Trump supporters will have a problem with anything he does. They haven’t had a problem with any of the outrageous statements he has made (on the campaign trail as well as since the inauguration). They haven’t had a problem with his cabinet nominees. They haven’t had a problem with the…[Read more]
