Hi. My name is.....

[U-Ute]

I was pointed here by a fellow Ute fan. I won't name names as to protect the guilty..

I love BBQ and Sex On The Beach...

Oh sorry... wrong profile...

I've experienced the lows as well as the highs of Utah sports. I've roamed the college sports internet halls ever since I started at the U in '87 posting game recaps in the r.s.c.b and r.s.c.f newsgroups. When the web came around, I started my own little site to track basketball recruits, schedules, and game recaps. I found a Ute forum and hung around on there, but it mysteriously disappeared around the time the Ute basketball team made their Final Four run in '98. I setup another my own, and ran that for a while before my ISP went under and the whole thing was moved over to what is now UteFans.net.

Before all of that, I was just a teenager who spent way too much of my free time calling BBS's.

Nowadays, I'll just pop in with a sarcastic comment or two the majority of the time, but every once in a while, I'll get into a scrap just for the heck of it. Takes me back to those BBS days and the "IBM vs Apple" arguments. Fun times.

Please answer the following question, but please choose you response carefully and thoughtfully as our future dealings may depend in large part on how you respond:


Between 1855 and 1860 the influx of a wave of Icelandic LDS immigrants resulted in Spanish Fork being the first Icelandic "settlement" in the continental United States. Spanish Fork owes its name to the Franciscan friars Domínguez and Escalante who in 1776, about the time John Hancock was signing his name in cursive majascule, explored the region. A fellow Franciscan, Junipero Serra, founded some of the more notable missions in California (where Escalante and Domínguez were supposed to have reached) like San Juan Capistrano and San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. There are many roads named after Junipero Serra, including one in Stanford that runs along Lake Lagunita on the west side of campus. The lake is seasonal and dries up on occasion. Students used to hold an annual bonfire in the dry lake bed but have ended this practice because the lake bed (which hasn't been artificially filled since 1999) is home to a population of "vulnerable" California Tiger salamanders (and the berm is ridden with rodent holes, leaving it too weak). It was found however, that the salamander population was in greater danger from automobiles on Junipero Serra Blvd, and in 2001 a $100,000 tunnel for salamander migration protection was completed under the thoroughfare. Lake Lagunita (Lake Lag to students) is a combination of English and Spanish. Lagunita means little lagoon/lake. Lake Little Lake. What is your reaction to place names or repetition of information in combined English/Other language names and words?

For example:
The La Brea Tar Pits = The The Tar Tar Pits

Hey! What's happening wuapinmon? Nice to see you posting again.

When they talk about the good old times on Utefans, they're mainly talking about Senioritis, ColoUte, LAUte, Ma'ake, SeattleUte, and U-Ute. U-Ute started the original Utefans board. He's incredibly knowledgeable especially about basketball, though he's not a loud poster.

I see 2 people on this list that make me glad to have never visited that site.

How about Table Mesa? I've always said that's the province of the Department of Redundancy Department.

Lunch was awesome on Friday, sir. You should stop by the uf.n tailgate on gamedays.

Welcome U-Ute! GarthUte here.

I didn't see you Thursday - did you get different seats this year?

He made it sound like there was a site before Utefans.net. By the way Ktowns source was awesome there, 18 of 19 recruits.

Now I understand...there was and there wasn't a site before uf.n. The site that U-Ute started eventually became utefans.net. SU was never on U-Ute's site, but came along after webmonkey changed the domain name to utefans.

I feel that they have their place in this world, much like acronyms that are followed by a word represented in the acronym. For example, saying "ATM machine" is the same as saying "automatic teller machine machine".

The problem is that the English language is designed such that people expect a certain structure to sentences. So, while saying "I'm going to the ATM" is technically the correct sentence, it makes the ATM sound like a proper noun. "I'm hanging out at the ATM" has a much different, and much creepier, connotation if it is a nondescript money dispensing machine rather than if it were a popular nighttime hangout.

So, in order for proper sentence structure to be achieved, as well as clarification, sometimes duplication is required.
