  • Another New Ute Fan

    A little about myself:

    I have been a Ute fan since my dad took me to Runnin' Ute games as a kid.

    I am active LDS and live in south Davis County, Utah.

    I love basketball and football.

    I love history, particularly American and military history. I would like to be a writer and have been thinking about returning to school to get a history degree.

    I found this site during a google search about the Utah-BYU rivalry. Believe it or not, it was the book thread that really attracted me to this site.
    Col. Klink: "Staff officers are so clever."
    Gen. Burkhalter: "Klink, I am a staff officer."
    Col. Klink: "I didn't mean you sir, you're not clever."

    Welcome!

    This site is full of good and interesting people, and it is nice to have a few more Utah supporters on board.

    Is Flattop a reference to carriers, or a hair cut style? Were you in the Navy?

      Carriers. My dad served in the Navy.

      One of the best books I read in high school was Queen of the Flattops by Stanley Johnson which is about the USS Lexington at the Battle of the Coral Sea.

        Welcome sir.

        Now I'm not the newest member. Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions, so I can point to someone else that would be more helpful.

            that's what I was going to say. Welcome happyone's new best friend! You guys could even cut out the board entirely if you want and hold your history discussions at the new Davis County Harmons.
            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            Dig your own grave, and save!

              Another Utah Man! That is great. Welcome aboard. Did you grow up in South Davis County? Are you a Viking, a Wildcat, a Brave? Just so long as you are were not a Dart.

                The move to the PAC10 is bringing them out of the closet in droves.

                Welcome.

                  I don't know quite what to say

                  Welcome, Welcome Flattop, even if you tend towards the squids

                      I guess "welcome aboard" has significant meaning to you..but, "Welcome aboard"!

                      "another ute fan"... do we have them all on CUF now?

                          That seems harsh.
