This site is great, but could we add a poll asking who we think will win last week’s game? I always appreciated that feature on UFN. /s
Love the new site… but a couple of curiosities.
When you select forums from the upper-right menu, shouldn’t all the forums be listed? It took me a while to learn that there were more forums than just Football and Basketball.
When you look at the list of forums, they are numbered… but there is no number 4.
Thanks!
I am fairly novice when it comes to posting in forums, and I was wondering if there is a way to view the newest threads, instead of seeing which threads had the most recent replies…..
Is this a site design, or is it something that I can just change in the settings somewhere?
TIA
Yes, under the Forum button at the top of the page, you have the option of viewing them by forum or by recent posts. Those are the top two options, you can also jump right to the forum you are interested in by clicking on that subject.
Appreciate the help 72. I’m scrambling to answer all the questions and deal with user issues.
Why hasn’t my phone been redirected to the App Store yet? There’s hasn’t even been one auto play ad or a forced redirect to Uber.
Am I using this board incorrectly? Where do I make a donation to pay someone’s bills?
This is just a test: Kentucky
Wow, it worked!
LOL. I can’t believe they still have that Kentucky thing going over there. That is so childish and petty.
Ahh come on, that was only 17 years ago…
I imagine it will have to be redone to be more distinguishable from U IP.
Awesome! Ute Hub is no longer sharing a logo with the University of Houston 🙂
Rad logo good work!
Looks nice. Now can we copy that logo into the address bar logo? It still has the TMK logo.
Yeah that favicon is my default one for my web development business. I’ll get it changed to a UH logo soon.
Like it!
Is this were I submit my resume saying I took my PlayStation Ute team to 5 consecutive national championship victories and 2 heismans?
Now that’s Funny.
I would like to remove my name from consideration.
Do I need a donate button for that?
If you look at other forums, a lot of them have a category for “general NCAA sports”. Could be a good forum for discussion about the football playoffs, March Madness, or just chatting about how the SEC and ESPN are in love with each other. This site is great so far. Nice work Tony!
Good idea.
I don’t understand doubling up the dark green at the 50 yard line, why not just continue the pattern and have it end in the dark green at the south end zone? Not enough contrast with the goal line? Doesn’t seem likely.
LOOKS GOOD! Hopefully ‘new turf smell’ isnt too bad lol. I’m row 4 in the muss, so i guess I’ll find out.
I’m row 4 in the MUSS too! What section are you?
RSL did pay for new turf about 6 years ago. The current surface had a 14-year warranty but is failing in half the time, similar to many other FieldTurf fields across the country. So FieldTurf is replacing this surface at a discount rather than continuing to repair it over the remaining life of the warranty.
My concern is how well the surface plays in a few weeks. KSL story about the difficulty FieldTurf has had with the field here:
https://www.ksl.com/?sid=36562463&nid=635&title=rice-eccles-turf-failed-prematurely-new-field-a-possible-safety-concern
So Ive heard a lot of people acuse our turf of not being cushioned well enough, have we had a higher than normal amount of injuries on our feild? Seems like every now and again when we play at home an odd number of players from each team go down with injury.
I like the alternating colors of green, maybe the players will have a better feel for the game seeing the distances by shade. Anyway think it looks good, can’t wait to see it in person.
Can’t wait to see this field live. It’s going to look great!
Can’t wait to see it in person.
Thanks for posting these
That’s going to look really sexy. I’m excited to see “Utes” in the end zone again as well. I know the old turf had a warranty up to 14 years or something like that, and it only lasted 7. Any idea if we got a discount on the new field? Just thinking, if Utah has enough money to just up and buy a new field mid-season you would think we could get at least started on the new SEZ, no?
I think they offered to replace it at a huge discount rather than do warranty repairs for the next 7 years
Read an article that said old field was 700K and the new field would be less than that even with the new coolzone technology or whatever it is. I bet they prorated the warranty and applied it against the cost of the new field.
I do know the paint from RSL didn’t come off as easy as they thought. So they had to use harsher chemical’s to remove the boxes. Those two combined deteriorated the field faster than expected. So I am guessing not a huge discount since it sounds like some of its wear was self inflicted. Should make those soccer hooligans pay for it!
Perhaps I’m mistaken, but I thought RSL paid for a whole new field not just treating the one they tore up.
RSL did pony up for the new field last time. That was 6-7 years back. As I understand it, this is a typical lifetime for this type of turf.
Really glad they put in a new field. The old one was looking a little worn.
It’s looking good.
I can see my seats in W15!
Think it would have looked better with a double light green in the mide. Oh well.
Were there any plans to sell off pieces of the old turf? Someone somewhere had a great idea to use it to raise funds for stadium expansion. Who wants to contact Dr. Hill?
We barely sold a small portion of the last turf and that field had both 2004 and 2008 teams play on it. I want to say the bookstore had pieces of turf for almost a year after they initially placed the boxed items on sale.
There was a lot of complaining about amounts but at the list price of around $100 no one purchased. I picked up a second piece for more than half off when the bookstore marked down.
Our fan base can be aggressive with their pocket books, the campaign for the field house is an example. For whatever reason (including a lack of marketing and perhaps too aggressive a price point) the turf did not sell well last time.
I am guessing Field Turf probably recycles the old turf?
