Shaky Smithson, my all-time favorite Ute

[MartyFunkhouser]

Never heard of him.

Nice feature on him.

I hope his little brother becomes a player.

I hope his little brother becomes a player.

And goes to BYU, that would be a great capper to this story.

[Coach McGuirk]

Word.

Chrissy Ello couldn't handle the truth though - he took it down.

From what I can tell, he removed the whole damn profile. What a pussy.

I watched him in the Highland v. Bountiful game. The kid has a lot of raw talent and, given space, is really dangerous. He has a D1 future ahead of him.

Shaky seems like good people. He comes from a rough place and he's making something of himself. Not an easy thing to do, that's for sure.

[Non Sequitur]

Shaky is a liar.

He has NOT played BYU mulitiple times.

He's played them ONCE.

You're a kid playing marbles with turds.

I can't believe that you actually pointed this out.

[New Mexican Disaster]

Good for Shaky. Hell of a player and a hell of a good person. I wish we had him.

[Portland Ute]

I can't believe that you actually pointed this out.

Oh, so damned sorry. I guess the sarcasm doesn't shine through unless you put one of those sophomoric faces next to it.

The point being, had Shaky said this in any other context regarding something that did not paint BYU in such a favorable light, several posters here would have said the exact same thing I posted with my tongue firmly planted in cheek. They, however, would have been serious.

There is no reason to attack all these people that couldn't sense the TIC nature of my post. They are not turds. A little slow, yes. Turds, no.

For those that need visual aides....

Your ability to post TIC is undermined by the pervasive non-TIC douchebaggery exhibited in the body of your posts.

[MartyFunkhouser]

Can we all stop fighting and just agree that Anthony "Fish" Smithson has a great future as a Ute ahead of him.

Yeah, you've got me. I totally hate Shakey Smithson, one of the best stories in recent Utah history and a total badass for the Utes on the football team.

Pervasive?

Here's to that.

The guy is a total stud.

We went to a coach's show a few weeks back and he was there. He was awesome with the kids and even the awkwardly fawning adults. Very gracious.

Ute does a nice thing, CougarNation responds with gratitude and admiration, and PU poops all over it.

PU, you really are PU.
