I’ll just leave this here

Yeah, Craig Smith is not going to make it past next season. As for Ryan Smith,

Craig Smith is a very good coach.

Apr 16, 1:51pm

I agree with you.

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 1:53pm

He’ll be justifiably fired. He hasn’t stepped up from G5 to P5. Recruits poorly,

CallSign

Apr 16, 2:05pm

He signed the best player in the state this year an ESPN top 100 kid. He has

Utah's program is a dumpster fire until proven otherwise

tacallaway

Apr 16, 2:27pm

They also lose their best player and possibly others

Apr 16, 2:36pm

The pac 12 that actually did better post season than the overrated big 12?

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 3:53pm

And where was Utah for the post season?

Ungoy

Apr 16, 4:34pm

They did? Zona made it to the sweet sixteen as did Houston and Iowa St

If this upsets Cheese Fries, that is just frosting on the cake. I am sure the

I absolutely LOVE that he still has the Pac12 logo on his twitter. GOLD! Hang in

Apr 16, 5:13pm

Wait until he finds out that the U is a non profit and a 30 million dollar

Apr 16, 1:45pm

More reasonable Utes on Twitter today than this type to be fair.

Apr 16, 1:49pm

Yeah, but the Church's tax-exempt status is a main gripe of the ex/anti-mo's

Apr 16, 1:51pm

Yes, exactly right

Apr 16, 1:55pm

To be fair many of us believe no religion should have tax exempt status not just

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 2:01pm

And many of us here begrudge our taxes funding your football program.

The Y's Insider

Apr 16, 2:05pm

My favorite byu myth. No tax dollars go to directly to Utah athletics. Oh and

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 2:26pm

Uh yeah they do

HandwovenBox

You sure bud?

chitownboy

Apr 16, 6:26pm

And yet you're cool with tax $ going towards football instead of education?

tacallaway

Apr 16, 2:13pm

If there were tax dollars going to Utah athletics I would be ok with it. Just

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 2:28pm

Proof there isn’t? Why would there have been the audit of Utah athletics

BYU '80

Apr 16, 2:38pm

Because a childish byu fan legislator called for one when Larry k cancelled

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 3:55pm

That’s not the question. Why would there be an audit

BYU '80

Apr 16, 4:42pm

The athletic department is part of the university so the state can audit. But

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 4:45pm

and you can’t be obtuse enough to think that the athletic program doesn’t take

Hahahaha, Ute gets owned again. And he does this voluntarily on a BYU fan board.

Apr 16, 5:46pm

Did you read the article. It is about student fees not tax dollars. At least try

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 5:59pm

It specifically says tax dollars as well as student fees. You lost despite your

This poor kid must be immune to getting dunked on at this point. Getting crushed

shammy

Apr 16, 9:22pm

Can you read all the way to the second paragraph? What is a taxpayer?

Atmospheric_Cougar

Apr 16, 10:11pm

To be fair, gas station attendants don't really pay much, if any, taxes either.

John Doe

Apr 16, 10:27pm

Which is stupid

Bob Vance

Apr 16, 2:47pm

Which nonprofits should be tax exempt? Just ones you don't like?

WP17

Apr 16, 2:48pm

Actual charities. Not large corporations influencing politics. I would start

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 3:56pm

Why should influencing politics have anything to do with being non-profit?

ochobeeguy

Apr 16, 4:08pm

Well it is against the law.

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 4:12pm

So you glanced over the word “substantial.”

BYU '80

Apr 16, 4:43pm

Please don’t ever try and do anything that requires any base legal understanding. I say that to help you.

WP17

Apr 16, 6:39pm

Well there goes the biggest charities

BYU '80

Apr 16, 4:42pm

To be fair we think that opinion is dumb.

ochobeeguy

Apr 16, 4:04pm

Take it up with Congress

Apr 16, 4:34pm

Yeah, that was crazy to read... We all have some very ignorant fans

SoBlueitHurts

The one idiot bringing up a potential tax deduction is hilarious

2nd reference today using "Dollar Tree Coach". What's that about?

Stupid Yewt humor. They obviously shop there a lot

So true. Thanks for the reality check.

matishen

Apr 16, 2:02pm

Remember when UU was paying 80K $4M/year and he hadn't made NCAAs for 5+ years?

Apr 16, 2:33pm

You’ve had two. And no tourney since your last one

BYU '80

Apr 16, 2:39pm

And far fewer tourney appearances

BYU '80

Apr 16, 2:45pm

I clearly understand that Utah has been to the Sweet Sixteen many times. But the

Since Majerus left there have been 4 coaches. But of course you just want to

They have two sweet sixteen appearances in 26 years

What an interesting selective time frame, but you picked it. Utah has 4

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 4:50pm

Utah fans hate BYU more than they like Utah

Jericho

Apr 16, 1:59pm

Can’t we love Utah and hate byu equally?

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 2:00pm

Yeah, I bet you post on your own message board just as often as you post here...

Jericho

Apr 16, 2:24pm

Nope. Same as your kids.

mvtoro

Apr 16, 2:49pm

Nope. You're filled with hate. And posting like a buffoon.

shammy

Apr 16, 9:25pm

If that was the case, you wouldn’t be here.

Ungoy

Apr 16, 10:01pm

Tell me about it.

Plantagenet

Apr 16, 5:02pm

Yewts quoting Cheese Fries as if he knows something, that's hilarious.

John Doe

Apr 16, 2:02pm

And even calling him his buddy. I guess his loyalty is more important to that

SoBlueitHurts

Apr 16, 5:15pm

You know these are bad takes when other online Yewts are calling them out

“As my friend cheese fries said…”

Found Cheese Fries' dupe account.

No touching

Apr 16, 3:48pm

Yeah, and he seemed to be claiming to be a BYU fan

El Jefe

Apr 16, 7:28pm

Nice! Jazz games will be more enjoyable without the worst of the ute fans there!

Apr 16, 2:55pm

There is no way there is a fan base that’s infatuated with another fan base as
