    I've lurked long enough around here

    I came over here (from Utefans & CB) on the recommendation of a BYU fan friend of mine a couple of months back. He said The Forum was a pretty interesting place and so far I have to agree.

    I love the open conversation in all the various sections and the topics so far and am looking forward to some great discussions.

    That's about it for now. Go Utes!

    Welcome aboard.

    Tell us a little more about yourself. Other than cheering for Utes, you got any other vices?

      One man's virtue is another's vice... or something like that.

      I work for quite possibly the most despised financial services firm in America right now, but at least I get to work from home most of the time. Which affords me the opportunity to multitask online through endless conference calls. So, I have that going for me, which is nice.

      One of these days said firm will finally figure out that I should move somewhere more exotic than Salt Lake County. But until then, I'll just ride this one out.

            I think I'm tired of fighting the fight. Honor our traditions, or not. see you around.

              That didn't take long. I guess I was correct in my assessment of the bank's place in America's heart and mind.

                Glad to be here, Pellegrino. I'm here for the traditions.

                  Welcome.

                  "Pellegrino-approved template" - it should be easy to track down, in one form or another.

                    Pellegrino-Approved Template Located

                    Now that I found the template (maybe it could be a sticky thread or something...)

                    How did you find CUF?
                    Referred by a friend - though his board name is a mystery to me. He claims to be a lurker only. We'll see about that.

                    What do you like about CUF?
                    The Foyer and the idea that Ute fans and Cougar fans can interact without someone named El Jefe or WebMonkey having to play policeman.

                    What don't I like about CUF?
                    Haven't found anything yet.

                    How did you choose your moniker?
                    It's what I've used elsewhere and evolved from a middle-school nickname earned due to some Jr. High intramural basketball heroics. Pathetic really.

                    What do you do (other than read CUF)?
                    Endless conference calls from my home office and occasional travel to uninteresting locales.

                    How many States have you lived in?
                    Depends on your definition of lived in... Two WA & UT for extended periods. If you consider places I've spent more than three or four weeks in a year in then I'd add NY, NC, TX.

                    What are your sports loyalties?
                    Utes, Mariners (), Seahawks, Jazz. Not always in that order. With 4 kids the passion for pro sports has been significantly quelled. It is probably more like Utes>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Seahawks/Mariners/Jazz.

                    What's your standing in the church?
                    Active LDS. I teach Sunday School to teenagers.

                      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                        Now, now, Pilgrim. We honor your traditional template, but it could stand to be modernized. Several of the questions could be changed for newer topics. Happily I see Mcan avoided the 'pee in the sink' and 'teach your kids how to properly roll a fatty' questions.

                        Mcan, welcome!

                          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
