    I hope this category has more thoughtful messages than you find on UTEFANS

    I had to "unchoose" that category.

    I think you'll find the volume level here lower and the level of mutual respect much higher.

    I've been posting on Utefans for a long, long time and did not mean that as a slight to the board generally. It's just a different place, and I don't enjoy political discussion there at all. (Caveat: I unchecked that UF.net category in 2008 and haven't really paid much attention since.) I still enjoy that board but it seems more oriented to Ute fans who are at least 20 years younger than I am, on average.

    You will find that anywhere, but the two sites are not similar other than they're both dedicated to the Utes...as someone who was on Utefans long before it was Utefans
