Correct. I am a UteZone member. I think it is a great site for the hard-core Ute sports fan. There are actual paid journalists there who dig up information about the programs and write about it. That is the value of the site. There's also a mind-numbing amount of detail regarding recruiting, for those who are interested in that and have the time and interest necessary to follow it. I don't, but I am glad there are others who do!

“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
--John W. Davis, founder of Davis Polk & Wardwell
It's a resource and news site, then.
Sounds like it is well worth the investment.
This site is a place to settle into you soft leather chair with a cigar and talk about those issues with other cigar smoking friends. And, yes, women smoke cigars too, sometimes putting all others to shame when it comes to smoking a stogie and pontificating.
There is a forum thread where you can pontificate away, but strictly related to sports topics and combined with a lot of written content. For example they are publishing interviews with all the recruits and when camp starts they will publish a story about each session. They also interview the coaches and players on a regular basis. They also have report at basketball practice that provides pretty good information on that sport. So more hardcore than either this site or utefans.
i know this has been said but the #1 reason i wont post at Ufn is the layout. I lurk the main page over there but that's it.
I know a lot of people have a chub for vbulletin, I find it to be clunky to read in other ways (one being the whole quote thing to reply to someone in a thread). I have a vision for a message board that is a hybrid of the digest mode on uf.n and the good things from vbulletin, I call it RockerBulletin. Look for it on the shelves at a retailer near you.
Crimson, I think that was RockerUte....in fact I know it was Rocker.
-What would you do if you saw spaceships over Glasgow?
Would you fear them?
Every aircraft, every camera, is a wish that wasn't granted.
What was that for?
Try to be bad.
I like the layout of ufn. It makes it so you don't end up with threads with 20 pages of posts to wade through. Having said that I am glad this site started and uses a different layout. I think the 2 sites compliment each other. I wouldn't want them to be clones of each other. I like having each one open in different windows and going back and forth.
I love both sites and I hope they both stay as they are!
