All right, let's dial it back a bit...

by JazzyUte on Dec 8, 2010 11:07 PM MST in Las Vegas Bowl

We've got to pace ourselves here, folks. There is a lot of time between now and the Las Vegas Bowl and at this rate, we're going to burn out by the time Monday rolls around.

No more Boise State trollin'. It's not going to be allowed. It brings nothing to the discussion and just turns this site into a hate-fest and I don't want that. So if you're a Broncos fan and you want to come over here and attack the Utes and the state and our fans - don't do it. If you want to actually relax and have some fun, well come on over.

But it seems we try to one-up each other in the flaming department and it deteriorates each post into an embarrassing mess. That drives away readers and we can't have any of that.

So let's just have some fun. I don't care if you want to poke fun at some things that make our states and schools quirky. But let's keep it reasonable and not entirely personal, okay?

Now join around as we sing our early morning singing song.

Here’s to mature fandom. The two are not in fact incompatible.

i thought it was driving readership ;-)

You're right. It probably does...

I should’ve clarified and said POSTERS and I’d rather have a more active blog than a more read blog.

If that makes sense.

But we can still have fun and still mock the Potato School to the North – just less personally and less racially. haha

i mentioned that picture of moore and beiber would start something big.

it does increase traffic but i agree lets be more civil. i really do enjoy the boise blog and i enjoy the interaction with quite of few of their fans.

Why do canadians stick together? The same reason why Chris Horodecki turned his body and face around in his first WEC fight. SB Nation's public enemy #1.

I enjoy your post also Wolfman

I have read blocku but never made a comment before, as I do live in Utah. I have read your posts on OBNUG, always good and not a troll, like most Oregon and SEC fans. I think it is more fun to be civil and have good interaction. Last night seemed to get a bit out of hand around here. If nothing else at least we have fans on both sides that care about our teams and schools.

Maybe you will get to it, but

I’ve read that ticket sales from Utah are really low… What the hell. This game should not be missed! You will regret not putting $200 or so on your credit card to be there in person. Like most do over missing the Sugar Bowl. What’s holding you back? It’s a 5.5 hr drive or less for the majority of the fanbase from UT, even AZ, CA, etc… You will regret missing this one!

I wouldn't put too much into it...

Utah fans generally don’t buy up their allotment and go through second and third means instead.

I expect there will be a great deal of Ute fans in Vegas.

by JazzyUte on Dec 9, 2010 12:55 PM MST up reply actions

Agree, I think the crimson club acts too slow.

Tickets are still not on sale to the general public until Dec. 13th. Only season ticket holders and crimson club members have had a chance to buy. I think a lot of them went directly throught the Vegas Bowl because you got better seats for cheaper.

Just because the allotment hasn’t sold out doesn’t mean tickets aren’t selling.

by daedalus17 on Dec 9, 2010 1:19 PM MST up reply actions

Utah has sold 8,200 of its 11k allotment.

I’d say sales are actually going quite well, considering all the other Ute fans who have bought tickets through the Vegas Bowl itself.

Even though I've been a culprit in the doings, I have to agree.

To quote from a comment I left elsewhere:

There’s no logic or real reasoning with these trolls.
They’re just here to troll, because they’re/he or she is too stupid and emotionally stunted to do anything but, and that’s why we’ve been having fun with it. They still don’t get that we don’t value their opinion and aren’t upset in the least by their awkward attempts at insulting us. It’s fun to take the piss out of creeps… or it was, but now it’s boring.

If you feed a troll, he will just barf all over your website

I keep accidentally eating my pets. Maybe I should get something less appetizing, like a cat instead of a Twinkie.

Thanks JazzyUte

I was hoping someone would say that. As I have mentioned quite a few times, I am really looking forward to the bowl game. It should be a lot of fun and so should the posts and comments on BlockU and obnug.

Hey We Didn't Cancel Our Series With Boise After All!

We play them in Basketball on 12/17 in Salt Lake City. We play them in Football in Las Vegas.

Vegas is a neutral site for football and the Huntsman Center is a great venue for Basketball. So I think all things considered Boise is getting excellent competition in two sports, not just one. Isn’t this a great deal? Methinks so!

The goal of every Ute fan should be to caffeinate Cosmo's punch and watch him self combust.

They don’t have a school of law or medicine
All they teach is football must win
But even that’s not a guarantee
For education Boise’s not the place to be.

Nice post JazzyUte

I don’t know who the troll was that kept posting over here; he probably wasn’t a real Boise fan just someone trying to give Boise fans a tarnished image. He was obiviously a troll because he had no history of posting rational thoughts on the OBNUG site. That isn’t the kind of history you will find on the OBNUG site.

I think we can all agree

that Jazzy does every bit as good of a job—if not a better one—and is probably more enjoyable of a read than any of the other media outlets here in SL.
