Can’t believe I didn’t find this sooner. Oh well. If I can figure it out it could make a huge difference.

Darn those social trackers! 😉
Sounds like a great find, thanks for taking the time to look into this!

Hmm. Did some experimenting tonight. If I disable the Like/Dislike feature, the posts load incredibly faster. I mean, the difference on one long thread of replies was 2 seconds vs 15-20 seconds. I’ll look into the like implementation and see if I can fix that performance bottleneck.

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]
