    IMO, the thing that makes this board great is a wide range of strong voices on some pretty divisive topics. I really think it is amazing that we have a place where people from both sides of the issues can get together on topics as controversial and divisive as politics, religion and the rivalry. Sure, it probably skews more liberal politically and more towards BYU in the rivalry, and there is always the concern from many that the Foyer can get too hostile towards the Church, but there are always strong voices on both sides of the issues. I think it is almost miraculous that CUF was able to feel like a safe place for so many people with such differing views for so long.

    This name change feels like the powers that be announcing that they no longer want this type of balance as it pertains to the rivalry to exist here. It's sad. I really enjoyed ruffling some feathers and taking what the Cougars here had to dish out. 95% of it felt like good natured fun, especially since junkie left. It's nice to have someplace where you can come to get a dose of reality about your favorite sports team.

    The fact that this change has brought junkie out of the woodwork just makes the message that Ute sports voices aren't welcome that much clearer. Maybe that isn't what you were going for, but that's how it is being received by most of us. This place will never be the echo chamber that utefans and cougarboard have become, JL is too cool to ever let it get to that, but I think this change will take aawy part of what made CUF unique.

      Blaming this on the rivalry skipping two years is as much hilarious as it is bogus. Sorry you're so butthurt CUF Committee!

      My recommendations are that this site should immediately alter anyone that types the word “Utes” to “Yewts.”

      Commence discussions on KWhitt, Sitaki and ARod's spirituality and worthiness. I had no idea I was conversing with such pussies!
      Conversing with pussies? You are acting like one complaining about a dumb name change. Including asking JL to delete your account.

        no offense, Scorcho, but I don't think you know much about us at all.

        Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

                Sounds like someone has an idea for a novel.

                  But we'll have less BYU fans. I'd guess that's where 95% of your problems come from.

                    didn't know we needed your blessing? Thank you ever so much!

                      Of course not. I am giving it anyway.

                          We don't delete accounts unless it is a new spammer or something. Leaves too many holes in the archived threads. I would be happy to scramble your password and delete your e-mail address for you if you like. Let me know.

                            sure, that works.

                            Thank you! I have enjoyed my time here. Best of luck to you and the Cougs in the future.
