    Puget Ute is one of the few solid posters left on UF.N. It'd be nice to have him here.

    Do you mean you don't enjoy the incessant joking between TacomaUte, midnighteversin, loyter, mullet ute, sfork etc etc, and sometime even scratch?

    I would mind it less if I actually got the jokes, but it all seems to be inside stuff. I do check in there 2-3 times a week to see if anything interesting has emerged.

    I love the Gray uniforms and the warm ups. Haters keep hating, recruits and players love them. I think their opinions matter far more. As long as the uniform says, Utes or Utah, I couldn't care less about the rest.

    well, my opinion is obviously worthless then. I guess that must mean the recruits think they look like rappers. When the team came out with the hoods over their heads, I didn't know whether or not they were trying to intimidate UA. pretty silly, I thought.

    I think you like Gray for personal reasons. Why does it always have to be about you?

    That site has become a joke. I rarely check there anymore. I want information and decent discussion around Utah sports but 75% of the stuff there is inane banter, political crap, and a bunch of good 'ol boys telling inside jokes and red starring each other.

    Let's be clear. Almost all of us who qualify as good ol boys rarely go there anymore. Most of us are here

    I'm okay with utefans bashing only from people who do not visit cougarstadium. No double standards!

    Apples to oranges comparison. Well, maybe a rotten crab apples to moldy old oranges (i'm not saying which is which).

    That said, I rarely visit UF.N, it is almost unreadable. I do visit the old CUF, mostly for a good chuckle and the non-sports topics. But that place is growing a little stagnant too.

    This board is beginning to remind me of the movie "Red".

    If that analogy holds, I think that makes LA Ute Morgan Freeman.

    I don't dislike UF.net. I just don't get it anymore. There are people there I really like. Same with CS. I'll leave it at that.

    There's no good reason for a site like UB5 to exist if Utefans was operated properly. It literally had a monopoly on everything Ute related save for some hard core recruiting stuff, and a majority of the fanbase doesn't really eat that stuff up anyway. But it was the first such site out there, and had it evolved with the times, it could have been a true monster. Now it's a shell of itself. Certain posters were allowed to run amok and turn it into a farce.

    It wasn't the first, but it happened to be the one available at the right time.

    You're right that they botched it up though.

    Webmonkey blew it. I asked him several times to switch the format to vbulletin and he just kept saying "No one wants to do that". I quit going to site because I got sick of the same thing being reported 15 times a day.

    Anyone know how many aliases that Moose has had over at UF.N? And how long has this guy been at this schtick of his? When I was on twitter, it seemed like every two months a new alias would pop up with the moose characteristics. Last I checked, he was masquerading as an official representative of this site.

    I think he has hit this board a few times as well.

    A couple posters in particular drove me away with either their crude outbursts, or necessity to constantly piss vinegar on anyone that wasn't board royalty. Fortunately, they haven't found their way here. It's possible one has passed away so not inclined to name names. Suffice it to say, this board has evolved into a nice outlet.

    Apparently the PAC-12 doesn't have the corner on bad referees.

    This was called as an offensive foul.
