The BYU factor is definitely a real thing for me, which has been very surprising. Growing up, the season was largely defined by whether or not you beat BYU and you spent most of the year paying your dues with lesser games waiting for that game. I couldn’t have imagined a world where Utah and BYU didn’t play and then it happened and it was… kind…[Read more]

Amen Rick, amen…

Amazing!!!

For me it is the unique combination of NIL and player movement without any guardrails, the lack of any connection with the Big 12, and the reconnection with BYU that has made this last season almost unbearable. I am actually more excited about season 2 of our hockey team than I am about Utah Football. I am not sure how that happened, and I would…[Read more]

Stopped watching the NBA when Stockton retired. Haven’t missed it at all.

Yes. Much snappier in chrome.

I (hopefully) have found out the issue with the crash, which only happens when there are replies that have many child threads of replies. Unfortunately the fix requires an app update. That’s in process and hopefully will be live soon. I’ll make a post about it.

I’ll try out the app thanks!

Welp

You are a fantastic Ute. Thanks for all the hard and mostly thankless work you do here!

Going to have to disagree with you. I think the name of the accuser and accused should be public. I think that’s the only way to be as fair as possible. You should put your name next to such an accusation because it’s so serious. As for BYU fans shaming here or anybody in that circumstance without the evidence, let them reveal themselves for…[Read more]

If BYU fans thought road crowds were bad last year they will be relentless this season if Rat plays.

BYU has been able to keep a lot of honor code violations private over the last few years that resulted in zero punishment for the offending players.

At the very least sex happened between Jake and the girl and it’s gone worldwide. Sitake and S…[Read more]

If the accused is exonerated, then yeah, I could see naming the accuser. But to have to have your name attached to the accusation as the victim, when you have done nothing wrong, that would be terrible and prevent a lot of legitimate victims from coming forward.

The girl got a rape kit and test done. So I’m sure there’s DNA evidence. The issue is whether he claims it was consensual.

Crazy. I get so tired of this. I almost want to require you to get a notary to sign with written consent before entering the bedroom. This would clear up the intentions. This girl drives from Salt Lake to Provo, has her…[Read more]

From a somewhat related perspective, IMO, what’s going on in college football is a last phase, gold rush money grab considering the long term trajectory decline in football participation and viewership. Youth tackle football over the past 10 years has declined roughly 30% nationally. H.S. football in the US last year had the lowest football p…[Read more]

My interest in definitely fading. I feel very little connection with a team that is made-over in a yearly basis.

One thought that occurred to me reading through this thread. Why don’t NIL contracts demand it be a multi-year agreement that is backloaded (e.g., majority of payment comes at end of contract). Maybe the market is not such that this…[Read more]
