I thought the Indiana Fever was what Ron Artest gave to all those girls between 2002 and 2006?

Where’s the money supporting that raise coming from? Because it’s not coming from ticket sales.
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic 1st Ute FB player in Portal in the forum Football 4 days ago
Speaking of angry keyboard warriors, everyone needs to remember that we will lose before we will gain. Such is the way of the portal. You can’t have players transfer in until after players transfer out. So for a while it will look like the sky is falling, but once all is said and done, Utah will be a better team than they were before the portal…[Read more]

Yeah i know he will be on their short list for sure but everyone is talking like it’s a done deal. it’s not according to my sources.

Where is everybody seeing that Burgess is going to BYU-Provo Campus? We are talking like it’s a done deal but my sources are saying nothing.

Probably a lot to do with what day/time the games were. if the NCAA wants eyeballs on the men’s final maybe don’t put it on a Monday night at 9:30 Eastern.

UA sucks hind tit. My son is an Olympic sport athlete on a UA-sponsored college team. They give all the players free shoes and they’re required to wear them for practices, games, and any team-sponsored event. At first he was super excited – getting free shoes makes you feel you’re big time.
Two weeks into preseason his freshman year, his feet and…[Read more]
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Runnin’ Utes just picked up their first transfer?? in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 week, 5 days ago
I haven’t seen him play, but from what I’ve read it sounds like he’s a versatile wing/slasher-type player that we haven’t had in a long time, maybe since Kuzma (let me be clear: I’m not saying he’s the next Kuz). We were really missing that dimension this year – we were a team that could pound it down low or shoot 3s, but not do much else.
So I,…[Read more]

6’9″ 215 lb forward. Averaged 6.6/4.1. AAC all-freshman team. He was a big target for Utah in 2023 but we missed him for Rice (???). He also had offers from Houston, Texas, K State, and BYU-Provo Campus, among others.
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Recruiting vs portal MBB in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 weeks ago
Sorry, it’s 100% portal for me. The benefits of upperclassmen are amplified in basketball. The increased maturity, ability to cope with pressure, and the adult body are critical.
Unless we’ve got a sure-fire prospect, I don’t care if we land another high school kid ever again. Pretty much nobody plays all 4 at the same school any more, so just…[Read more]
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Coach Smith in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 weeks, 2 days ago
The elephant in the room is the terrible recruiting of HS players.
The good news is, high school recruiting doesn’t matter any more. Like, not in the slightest. Every team not named UCONN will be living off transfers.
What matters now is how you recruit the portal and Smith has been OK at that. I just saw that Great Osobor (the behemoth center…[Read more]
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Game Over: Utes moving on to the Semis in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Update on the awful officiating from last night: Turns out the ref who was missing all the calls and T’d up Craig after he told the guy he’d missed two in a row, was former BYU-Provo Campus baseball player and baseball coach Mike Littlewood. There’s no way someone should ever be assigned to ref a rival school.
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Game Over: Utes moving on to the Semis in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks, 1 day ago
That was the funnest game of the year. The team played pretty well and the crowd was really into it – shades of the good old days at the Hunty. Everyone was giving it to VCU and giving it to the refs (when they deserved it, which was often). Such a blast last night.
The only negative is I’m certain Keita is going to transfer. His body language is…[Read more]

This seems like a good time to repeat what I said the other day: Football success has ruined Utah fans. Now we will only spend our time and money on winners.
I see sold-out basketball arenas in Logan and Provo and I wonder how much of it is because of their garbage football programs. They see basketball season on the horizon and say…[Read more]
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic Harlan needs to poach Quannas White away from Houston in the forum Basketball (Men) 3 weeks, 6 days ago
You just described the problem with Utah fans: We don’t support a team unless it’s already a winner.
Problem is, it’s hard to create a winner without already having support. Without the cash flow and full stands, you won’t get high quality players. Did you see what the arenas at USU and BYU-Provo Campus looked like when they really stunk? They…[Read more]

Hmmmm…longtime U basketball fans know that we never say or write their name under any circumstances. And I’m not talking about BYU-Provo Campus.
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic I may be in the minority in the forum Basketball (Men) 4 weeks, 1 day ago
It’s not the fact that BYU-Provo Campus lost that makes them smack-worthy. It’s the fact that they always set these sky-high expectations and always fall flat. I mean, they were seriously talking about winning the natty this year.
Look, the NCAAs are hard. These are the 64 best basketball teams in the country (in theory) and half of them go home…[Read more]
GameForAnyFuss replied to the topic What was the announced attendance last night? in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 month ago
I am not sure what needs to be done other than getting a better team.
Maybe it would help if fans started showing up.
For the record, I don’t think you’ll get a better team until after fans come. Good players will go to where there’s full arenas and good NIL deals. You don’t get those things until you have fans.
