About the new board name (cougarstadium.com)

[cougjunkie]

So you just whined and cried in the background telling Lebowski that you won't come back until he takes Ute out of the name. Congrats, on being more introverted about your complaining.

Ha! I had nothing to do with Lebowski taking utes out of the name, nor do I really care. I found out the same way everyone else did.

Your boy UD is on the Executive Committee why didn't he stand up for Ute fans everywhere?

That is why none of you are in any hurry to use your hard earned funds to start your own board.

This is incorrect btw.

As an aside, you got fat and sloppy on your hiatus. Going to take some serious work to get back to your 09-10 form.

Can you share the URL so the ones that feel jaded have somewhere to go?

You must have been frequently checking the board during your hiatus to find about this change within less than an hour of it happening, or do you just expect us to believe that it was all a coincidence. Also, you were posting immediately upon the change, again, I'm sure that is just a coincidence.

I agree with JIC, your form is off after your hiatus. You will need some time to get back into the groove of things.

I know it doesn't matter but somehow I feel compelled to express my opinion.

Some of the best posters on this board are Utes. I hope they stay and act like nothing has happened.

Being with 90% Cougar fans gives me the same kind of feeling I get when in the restroom and the guy next to me looks over the stall and then smiles.

The Cosmo is classy (supposedly)! So, at the very least, we are a classy Chinese-Mexican fusion restaurant (supposedly).

I swear the sign said something about Juan. It is called China Poblano and it is in Cosmo.

My form is so off that I think you have replied to every post I have made since I have been back.

I did check the board from time to time mainly because I still receive PMs from close friends on the board and still do business with quite a few Cuf'ers. But that is not how I found out, a friend actually sent me a text telling me about it.

I have zero influence on JL and he might have preferred that I continue with my hiatus. I know nothing about the inner workings of the board or what goes on with the EC.

You may want to recheck some of your posts, to make sure that statement is accurate.

By the way it is good to have you back. I sincerely mean that. Now don't try to take down this site like you did with cougarguard.

The demographics of this board has changed; the recent posting activity is increasingly sports-related. The Foyer used to rule this board but now it's a shell of its former self.

I don't know that the demographics have changed that much, but rather the decline in Foyer activity is proof that you can only talk about the same things for so long. Wuap's habitual thread bumping and the ensuing crickets is evidence of that.

I remember when I first came to CUF, SU lamented the decline of quality topics and discussions in the Foyer. He specifically hearkened back to the golden era of CougarGuard when they would debate the nature of God. I guess some things don't change.

Seems like Lebowski had a Max Hall like Utah Post Game Press Conference Moment, and decided he just wants to hang out with his own. Clearly, you don't want or need my input.

Too bad, I liked this board. Go ahead and delete my account.

Cougs win again!

Cougs win again!

I guess you got to take the victories where you can as they aren't happening on the football field. However, congrats on still being able to beat our basketball team, but the likes of Wazzu can do that so that isn't all that impressive.

Down year for BYU basketball might only get to 23 or 24 wins.

You probably identify more of the first order shift in Foyer activity. The glory days of the Foyer are probably the last year or two at cougarguard. If one was to think about the "market value" of cougarguard, the foyer was probably responsible for the majority of it (after that it would have been the football forum). Certainly, for a lot of people (me, for example) I just have no desire to discuss those topics anymore in fora like guard/cuf/stadium.

To a lesser degree demographics did shift at least implicitly. Lots of people's relationship with the church changed over the guard -> cuf -> stadium time series. That shift probably had an effect on the vibrancy of the foyer (but I don't think it is first order).

I remember when I first came to CUF, SU lamented the decline of quality topics and discussions in the Foyer. He specifically hearkened back to the golden era of CougarGuard when they would debate the nature of God. I guess some things don't change.

I think SU is right (I don't think this is a case of remembering a "camelot" that never existed); CUF never reproduced the vibrancy of the guard foyer. Partly, for the reasons stated above but also because Mike Waters was a very good foyer participant.

I think some Ute fans apreciate a little cover as to why they sepnd time here. It's embarrassing to some Ute fans to spend any time on a BYU board. I remember that feeling when at my grandma's house at age 7 I preferred to cross the street and play with these two girls, and my uncle would tease me for playing with girls. If this is a partial Ute board it helps with that shameful aspect of hanging out with BYU fans.

Thanks, CatBlue.
