Seriously, freaking stop the stupid false rumors, Ute fans.

On second thoughy, Ute fans, keep going!

Haha yes! Eliminate any slim chance you had at him post mission.

The more of it the better - I say let them keep it rolling

And honks like Josh "The Professional" Newman should be reporting things like

While I agree that McCombs response was 1000X better than Newmans...

You're right. I guess I mostly mean why don't the "pros" get this scoop?

Spreading rumors: no; giving the rumors a bigger microphone: yes

Can you explain to me how they gave it fuel?

Eddie

11/11/21 4:05pm

So every accusation has to be brought up on the radio?

BYU '80

11/11/21 4:07pm

This is the craziest part. They took no care for spreading slander about a kid.

SwampyCoug

11/11/21 4:15pm

Yes - saying "there is no evidence those rumors are true" is the worst.

Eddie

11/11/21 4:18pm

Come on, seriously? Hey kid, we don't believe it, but a lot of others do.

SwampyCoug

11/11/21 4:19pm

That's not what they said.

Eddie

11/11/21 4:26pm

What is it with you and personal attacks. Chill. You can be fine with them

SwampyCoug

11/11/21 4:31pm

Personal attack?

Eddie

11/11/21 4:41pm

Responding to an assertion is not personal. Questioning someone's credibility is

SwampyCoug

11/11/21 4:54pm

Did you listen to the interview?

Eddie

11/11/21 4:17pm

Eh, by airing what they admitted had zero evidence to a bigger audience.

SwampyCoug

11/11/21 4:11pm

Do you realize how silly this sounds?

Eddie

11/11/21 4:24pm

Silly? Really? Using ad hominens is silly. And I disagree completely. They took

SwampyCoug

11/11/21 4:30pm

I'm defending them because you are mischaracterizing what happened.

Eddie

11/11/21 4:36pm

Repeating something that you can’t verify is the precise definition of spreading

goodcleanfun

11/11/21 10:35pm

Except - he was saying "no evidence they are true".

Eddie

11/12/21 7:38am

You can't see how that is actually more of a reason to condemn what they did? By

SwampyCoug

11/12/21 8:27am

When I listened to the actual interview myself...

Eddie

11/12/21 8:46am

I actually get what you are saying and see your point. I just disagree.

SwampyCoug

11/12/21 8:50am

I understand - and can totally see that perspective.

Eddie

11/12/21 8:58am

He wasn't "endorsing" the rumors. But he was absolutely "spreading" the rumors.

Good rebuttal, Robby.

It's laughable that Collin's dad would allow for any improper dealings.

LegitCoug

11/11/21 2:02pm

exactly, they don't need the money, they don't need to risk souring his kid's image/eligibility....claiming they cheated

HarlemCoug

11/11/21 2:10pm

Yay for the kid reporter!!!

I hope and based on my Ute friends, this is another small part of the group

love that he brought up the false Lohner rumors.

Cougarclaw

11/11/21 2:15pm

The biggest problem I have isn't that a bunch of Ute fans have been claiming this...

Coug

Parents can be the worst from little league on up.

BYU71

11/11/21 2:20pm

It's a good reminder that these "public figures" are really teenagers

This doesn't even mention the Alex Markham rumor that Zach Wilson was with Neil Pauu and Provo PD covered it up.

This is what ten years of being in the PAC 12 has done to the Utes…

Someone ought to post that on the board Ute fans use. The one other than CB!

SwampyCoug

What we really want to know is what do the 3 Utes in the basement podcast have

Ute fans are like petulant children when they don't get their way.

I have wondered if the Wilson family reached out to the Chandler's to tell them
