Posts with tons of replies can be a performance killer.

Lots of good thoughts on here about NIL, effects of the Big XII transition and such, but this comment gets at the heart of it for me. The idea of putting on a red shirt, going to the game, eating some good food and passively enjoying the action while leaving emotion aside with everything I can’t control is not the way I have consumed Utah f…[Read more]

Yes, when on the front page I click on the headline and it’s a good 3-4 second gap before leaving the front page. Not a huge deal but pretty much the only website I frequent where it happens.

I experience page loading lag whether on mobile or gigabit-backed WiFi. Is this an issue for anyone else? I don’t have the same issue with any other websites I frequent.

It does. All you do in the website is put the youtube URL on its own line in the text editor. In the app there’s a video icon you click to add it.

I want to downvote the first part and upvote the second part, so I guess I’ll do neither.

I would much rather be in the Pac-12; however, you are correct that it was poorly managed.
NIL contracts definitely need to happen.

Embedding YouTube videos would be cool. Not sure if that already exists.

It’s interesting to me how some pine for the P12. I had my fill of that nonsense conference. Poorly managed, shit start times, horrible officiating, zero reputational bump, terrible money, and a sad mix of haves and have nots. If your name wasn’t USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, or Arizona the P12 didn’t give a shit about you. It’s no wonder it…[Read more]

Worst thing about NIL is has bought (not brought) cougar fans out of the closet. Fo sure.

I think it’s important to know what you can influence versus what you cant influence. At least IMO. Show up with friends and family, have a good time, enjoy the food, etc. Whoever you showed up as won’t be changed following the game because of the outcome. The transfer portal doesn’t help, but even before the current era it isn’t like Gionni Paul…[Read more]

I don’t mean to imply that I like the current transient nature of College Football, just that it is an acceleration of a preexisting state.

I would love for our best players to stay here as long as possible.

If ever….maybe in some unforeseen future where we both make the playoffs…and then the network(s) will have a field day trotting out highlights from those contests.

The past two years have been hard to watch. Injuries, poor coaching decisions, NIL, transfer portal, late games and escalating ticket prices have tapped me out. First time since the early 70’s I did not renew my season tickets.

It has been a phenomenal run for me. Going with my dad then my daughter and my grandkids. The lows then highs have b…[Read more]

You all should post a pic or two if possible. I love seeing where people go on vacation, gives me new ideas for future plans.

Said a few times that USC and Utah had many memorable exciting close games, lots of them settled in the closing seconds, with both teams enjoying their share of being on the happy side of the scoreboard.

Sadly may not see them face each other again for some time.

You guys nailed it: there aren’t any teams in the BigXII (including TDS) that I am excited to beat. I’m bummed that the feeling I got with those absolute wars with USC will never happen again. Also, we spent all winter stressed out about what players were going to get poached away from us. At some point, instead of whining, I’m just going to go away.

Oh Tony, that’s the other part…I feel no affinity, at all, for the Big XII…honestly, and this might sound sacrilegious, I would rather be in a regional conference like the MWC provided Utah got the same money, at least, as in the Big XII…I rather enjoyed playing teams like Air Force, Wyoming, etc…plus they made neat road trips as well…I…[Read more]

I think for Utah fans it is a combination of what you feel Tony and what the original poster an Miami said. I want the PAC12 / Rose Bowl days back but it is not going to happen no matter what this team does.

My primary displeasure isn’t with NIL. It is with the new conference we have landed in. I really loved beating Oregon and USC especially. I have little excitement for our new “rivals” in the league. Perhaps that will grow over time, but meh.
