No way to paint this positively. A really bad look for USU. We've had an outsized amount of scandals in the AD the past few years. Embarrassing.

This is very wholesome. Thank you for sharing.

Agreed on a few points. The US immigration system is hard to navigate and it is very challenging for immigrants- especially those without the means to hire lawyers to navigate its complexities. I disagree with the assertion that our system doesn't help anyone- The US welcomes more immigrants than any other country in the world by a fair margin. The US is still the land of opportunity- i've spoken to close to a thousand immigrants from different countries in Latin America and they feel the same way. My brother in law is a federal immigration attorney and has worked to help people gain legal entry and also to deport people that very much deserved to be deported. He goes on ad nauseum at how broken the system is as well. Not saying this is you, but there is this endless back and forth between the right and left- the right accusing the left of wanting open borders and the left accusing the right of being racist or not compassionate towards those seeking asylum or fleeing dangerous situations. It's a bit exhausting like every other political discussion you see these days. Immigration is like healthcare in the USA- we all know it's broken but can't seem to agree on how to fix it. How many immigrants should we allow legal entry per year? What should the criteria be? Are we obligated to let people in because they are poor and living in countries geographically close to us? We have to weigh the needs of our country and its safety over every other factor. Immigration is especially challenging in this regard. I don't have the answers, but these are questions I ponder. I think we need meaningful reform to allow individuals to enter the country while mitigating as much of the illegal activity as we can. The US as a country and populace has a right to grant or deny entry to its borders. What that reform is I have no idea, but I liked a lot of the last bill that was floated and ultimately defeated.

I would ask that you update the term you use for the River that is located in southwestern Utah near St. George. For years it indeed was known as the "virgin" river, until I passed through several years ago- it has henceforth been known simply as "the River"

Boise hangs yet another preseason banner. Long may they reign.

Maybe for you fair weathered pussies in LV. 107.... child's play. Take some notes on how to handle extreme weather from San Diegans.

See.. all the makings of Urban Legend- you didn't attend said Donkey show, but know others that swear they did with copious details.

I agree only because @bornontheblue said "your mom" and not "yer mom".

The tip of my dick as necessity has to be in many bad neighborhoods simultaneously given its size.

Yes. The presidential candidate on the R ticket is allowed to run, but not vote. Sad/hilarious/stranger than fiction.

OK I need someone who visits TJ to confirm: are donkey shows a real thing? Seems like a urban legend a la cow tipping

Yes. I think there are reasons why were successful in helping rebuild Germany + Japan and have failed pretty badly in Iraq and Afghanistan. The two former countries mentioned had already industrialized, had simliar cultural values that we do (their most recent authoritarian regimes excluded) and we shared a common enemy with both post war in the USSR. We were seen as helpers to rebuild in both those cases. We conquered and occupied to help rebuild and weren't the aggressor. IN Iraq and Afghanistan we were seen as the invading infidel army to countries that don't have a history of democracy and hadn't industrialized and were far less developed. Too big a lift in both cases. I want as far away from the Middle East as possible.

Yeesh. Utah is the only team in the top 15 not in the BIG or SEC. Pretty clear who the haves are conference wise these days.

You going to spring for some premium seats in the NEZ?

Going out on a limb here: I think the Utah vs USU contest in Logan will be closer than the Utah vs BYU contest in SLC. Why do I think this? because I need some hope in my life football wise.
