Wasn't it Dom and Bill on KJQ?
Corollary: Say anything that bugs YOhio. Anytime. And no Coke for him.
Damn you for making me feel old.
Nice to see YOhio, HFN, and Cowboy over here. Hopefully they will stick around.
I hope so too. YO must remember to say "please" and "thank you," however.

It's fine that there are Carbon County folks here who are Ute fans. But Carbon County Y fans? Perish the thought.
Thanks, it is nice to be liked!
While enjoying my hot pastrami sammich at Ida's B Street Deli today, Bruce Channel's "Hey Baby" played. Wasn't there some kind of protest/controversy about the pep band playing the tune at basketball games back in the day?
Desse jeito, não tem jeito.
I remember the song being played, but I don't remember the controversy. Would love to know more.

Something about the song being sexist and derogatory toward women. The reaction was almost universally "Wait, What?" IIRC.
Desse jeito, não tem jeito.
I always chuckle at these arguments...especially in light of songs like "Earl" from the Dixie Chicks getting almost no backlash.
You are probably thinking of the song Black Betty by Ram Jam.

Can someone enlighten me as to the fallout with Mike waters and the origins of CUF?
I see someone has hijacked my acct over there so I'm interested in what happened.

UtahDan and SU are the guys with the first-hand testimony to offer.

How many here know that this song was originally an African American prison chain gang song? The below is the Lead Belly version recorded in 1939.

Brings a different perspective about the song that many now don't understand.

Well that embed didn't work.
Here is the link to the youtube page

so I assumed that the name is a pun on the Barberi saying, b/c the board was started by 5 people who seceded from the cougar/ute site. I assumed they were Utah Dan, Jarid in Cedar, LA Ute, and others. Correct or no?
It was all about the Barberi slogan, not the organizers of this site. There was quite a posse involved in the defection, many more than 5. If I start naming names I will inevitably forget someone. Pretty much every regular Ute poster on that board.

Just an idea…I used to love reading the commentary on CUF. I went there today for the first time in a while and read the reaction Topper is getting pretty obnoxious. Granted, Arch is super over the top in his pessimism but the basic point of his arguments are pretty much spot on. His delivery is the issue. Yet, he's getting the Cougarboard treatment over there.
What made the idea of CUF so great was the idea of a natural check and balance between two rival fan bases where the posters would be civil and thus less potential for Cougarboardish/Utefanish behavior.
I think Utahby5 could become what CUF wanted to be. LAUte sets the perfect tone for this place he could simply run it as an invite-only site. You are a bad actor, you're out. There's enough of a core virtual community amongst the right players that would make this place a really special site to visit. Just a thought from the BYU peanut gallery, aka, new little brother.
I wanted to choose a name that would be uniquely "Utes" in origin. When I suggested the name, it resonated with the founding group, Esp for the generation that remembers the dark ages.
