More like bizarro old Ute fans because there it’s super right wing.

OnlyU is the only reason that site is still alive and kicking. Just about the only useful activity on that board comes from his/her posts. The only other posts that get any kind of attention are BYU hate, religious bigotry, or political stuff.
Also, it’s virtually non-functional any time there is even a remotely important thing happening in the Ute sports world.
I remember making a bad taste attempt at a joke that included Dave Rose’s cancer in it. The joke was dumb, poorly thought out, and inappropriate. I got jumped by many board members, and rightly so. I gave my mea culpa, as much for me as for anyone else, and we all moved on. Of course, I never had much of a rep to worry about staining in the first place.

Your last sentence expelled some Coke Zero from my mouth. Dammit. Good job.

I’m mostly just glad this place is a Moose-free zone.

lol… I mostly just meant that it is mostly political/religious stuff that gets posted there… by one poster, and everyone else is inactive 95% of the time unless OnlyU shows up.
Lots of good times at the old UF.N. Remember when the Jet Blue CEO’s brother (Neeleman) used to go on tirades about how crappy America is and how Brazil was so much better? I forgot what his username was

That’s kind of hard to imagine. LOL. Bizarro Ute Fans. I’d like to have a nice mix. Which is one reason why it’s my patriotic and moral duty to fly the conservative flag here. It’s an awful job but someone has to do it. 
It’s on the tip of my tongue but I can’t quite recall. He was pretty young then, I’ll bet he’s mellowed out.
Speaking of young guys, who else remembers Y’zGuy? He was (unintentionally) hilarious, but not a bad guy at all.
Full stop. No.
I did not read the rest of your post.
Uteaholicslc. He’s funny. He’s absolutely right, Brazil is an awesome country for airline owners, even better than the United States.
He was upset at Kyle W for not offering Zach Wilson a scholarship, I have not heard from him since. Would be great to get an update on Brazil’s progressive COVID response.
The OnlyU love is…interesting. Nothing they have done wrong, they have some great info. But you will go on Utehub and someone will post something, and there will be like 5 upvotes and 3 or 4 downvotes and then a couple hours later OnlyU will post almost the exact same thing and there will be 15+ upvotes. They are a god there.
And again, it’s not the poster. OnlyU has GREAT information and I’m glad they post there…but the love? worship? of them is interesting.
I think the golden age of Utefans was when we had a significant number of BYU fans posting. That was prior to having so many outlets for social interaction. Goatnapper and Palo Alto were the level headed reasonable ones. And Y’z Guy and Coug provided unintentional comic relief and routinely got skewered by Ute Fans. There are probably a dozen or so other characters that made that board incredible. Some are here now, others have migrated to twitter and elsewhere.
good times

He was always good to me. I have a signed photo of Rick Majerus that he sold me for a pittance, because he happened to have two. Good kid. Although he’s no longer a kid.
I miss Goatnapper.

I remember when Commie Crim (Mr. Crimson) had everyone convinced that we were hiring Tom Amstutz as our next football coach, (although I can’t remember if it was after Mac was fired or after Urban left). He had completely stirred the pot on that one and turned the board upside down.
I would say the most divisive time on Utefans was during the spring and summer of the 2000’s when there wasn’t any football or basketball to talk about and it was all politics all the time. Like mentioned before the board leaned left and anyone who leaned right got crucified for their conservative takes. I could read the board in 2 minutes because there were very few non politics topics.
The new format of this board is great because most political topics are in one thread and I can scroll on by if I want instead of trying to find the sports topics in a sea of political posts.

Can I say that I came to UF.N as a Hannity/Limbaugh loving conservative. When I said what I said, there were some posters that called me out, showed me where I was wrong and completely opened my eyes up. So…good job?
