The thing that sucks in this Brave New World

TNT

8:47am

Yep, player development will be someone else’s fruits to reap

IGlowInTheDark

8:48am

But if K. Young can find a way to get continuity, it might be the secret sauce

cougarmeister

8:49am

which makes it all less interesting. How long until NCAA starts losing fans?

runnincoug

8:49am

SLC-based prog metal band Eidola released a new album

letthewookieewin Walking Carpet

Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid. Utah Outlaws makes sense

arizonacougarfan

8:43am

How about the Utah Mountain Meadow...it's gonna be a massacre! Too soon?

RugbyCoug

8:46am

Have a Yeti as a mascot and name him Butch

arizonacougarfan

8:47am

I like it, but I generally don’t think human-based mascots look good.

ballen

Utah Bandits may be a good alternative

Rhubarb

Those in the know I have a busy day, should I be checking CB every hour for news

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

8:41am

I could see some assistant coaches getting announced around noon today.

Mostlyaccurate

8:44am

I agree. It's Dunson and Lewis.

CougLyfe

8:46am

Ryan already got one thing right, making the team name “Utah” and not“Salt Lake”

GhostRider

8:34am

Outlaws much better than Venom or Fury.

threezeroeight

8:36am

Those are both so bad. Like a little league team where the kids choose the name

DanSmith

8:38am

Venom and Furries are both such terrible names.

RugbyCoug

8:41am

Venom and Fury sound like Arena football names

Rhubarb

8:41am

Sorry, I think outlaws sounds like a disorganized mess.

squints

8:41am

The mock-up designs on Twitter for outlaws are incredible.. best I’ve seen.

GhostRider

8:42am

By far the best mockups out there

LaVellIfIKnow

8:50am

I think Salt Lake sounds better for hockey. I also like the SL options on hats

Medute

8:36am

SL is good for logos.. but like the Jazz, the team represents the entire state.

And yet you did …

It’s true - this is what CB has done to me!

cougXor

Good job on getting the conversation started

Born2Fish

So you homeschool? No judgement.

No - that’s the confusing part.

You’re a lucky man.

How about Tim Duryea from Boise State for AHC?

arizonacougarfan

Remember when Utah hired Harlan and he had a sense of humor about his BYU moving

The saddest part is he is still better than Chris hill.

The Dark Knight

Geez dude, get a room!

LaVellIfIKnow

8:32am

I'm sure he's a decent guy

Gustav

He did send his daughter to BYU so maybe this is just all a cry for help

YIsForBrigham

8:40am

Harlan did? You sure you don't mean the Univ Pres Randall?

threezeroeight

8:48am

Harlan thinks U of U is the center of everything.

BlueFever

8:45am

What did he tweet about KY hire?

Iman23

Harlan is just like Hill behind closed doors

Anyone else put a deposit on season tickets? If you haven't been to an NHL game

Stucoug83

NarfUte

NHL playoff hockey is one of my very favorite in-game experiences. My 12 year

Hundreds of thousands at 19-21 seems pretty life changing to me…

Whosyourdaddy

Uhh, I’m almost 40 and almost all these numbers I’m hearing would be massive

Alan Schaefer

Same. Paying off the house immediately would be nice

That is because TS does put in Easter Eggs and clues to her next albums for Fans who want to figure things out.

arizonacougarfan

C. Neither. Tank for a top 3 pick & then trade it with other picks for a star to pair with Lauri.

RdF3

8:03am

Its either or top 3 pick or Lauri. He won't stick around for another tanking

spidercoug

8:10am

You don’t know that for sure, if they give him a clear path to competing in 2025 & promise to trade him if they don’t

RdF3

Neither but of those two choices I go with tank.

Quincy Lewis?!?👀

id hope KY is aiming higher

Deleted

Quincy's certainly worthy & capable, imo. He's a proven winner w high, high integrity as a coach.

SinkingQuffa

You think we'll get 5 assistants better than Quincy? No way

dYrtbYkerYder

7:55am

I’m hoping he doesn’t bring back all the easy hires

Zombre

8:05am

Quincy Lewis would be a great add. He is the best coach in High School Basketball in the state of Utah

Adrielle

He has a track record of success and knows how to build a pipeline of talent.

I think you give an Assistant Coaching/Head of recruiting title.

JohnnyC

Assistant yes for sure, but no on AHC. Need someone more collegiate experienced

This could be just that he’s done since his kid graduated.

palangi

Adtually he's in his early 50s. I believe he graduated HS around 89 or 90

Adrielle

Is his kid playing in college somewhere?

If that were the case then he would have resigned right after the state game

Please use an Oxford comma.

TCuz

Wow they over paid NIL for Khalifa.

crimedog

7:48am

Hmm. Maybe not. His style of play could put a lot of people in seats. Including non-fans.

SinkingQuffa

Ramadan is earlier in 2025, so maybe he will be more useful come March.

TheLoneCougar

Standing at the top of the key and passing the ball?

crimedog

He's actually a great ball handler on the perimeter. Not stationary out there at all.

SinkingQuffa

8:28am

yes I am over simplifying it. He was still an extremely one dimensional player.

His athleticism & reach are really bad, but his D in the paint was surprisingly good, despite.
