We are pleased to announce a new name for our forum: CougarStadium.com. The new name has been linked to this site, but it may take a few days for the change to propagate through the domain name servers. We are trying to set this up so that the old domain name continues to point to this site and we hope the change will go smoothly.
The primary reason for the change is that we believe it is in our best long-term interests to go forward with a BYU-themed forum. With the recent changes in conference affiliation and with the decreasing number of scheduled games (especially in football), the BYU-Utah rivalry is on a steady downward spiral. The old domain name implied a sports forum dedicated to two fan bases. Pulling that off in effective manner is difficult to accomplish under the best of circumstances, but it is especially problematic when the rivalry is dying. We believe that we can best achieve a healthy and sustainable dynamic in the long term by having a domain name and theme dedicated to a single school.
We understand that this decision may be disappointing to some of our long-time Ute friends. We want you to know that you will always be welcome here and we hope you will stick around. And you are always free to start new threads related to Utah sports if you wish. We do not foresee any major changes to the layout or organization of the board and we will continue to operate the board using the same style of light moderation we have always used.
Best regards,
The CS Executive Committee
