A publication so prestigious that I’ve never heard of it!

Look man, I appreciate that you are for some reason expending effort to change my opinion on Boise Idaho but it’s not gonna happen. I’ve lived there, I have to go there all the time, to me it’s an absolute dump and the “benefits” of living there are very mediocre. If you like it then good for you!

Let’s move on with the day now :lol:
I’m okay not taking anyone about Boise, I’m more interested in how you have never heard of US News.
If it sounds like a website where SLB gets his news I’m not interested.
:lol:

US News are World Report has been around for decades. They are most known for the university rankings every year. They are in the middle on the Ad Fontes Media Bias chart so probably are hyper-left according to SLB.
That’s hilarious. I studied journalism at USU for a few years and I’d have to check my old notes but I don’t think they were even mentioned once. We talked about most of the other big ones though and even many of the not so big ones.

We've all seen it on our own site. We may just not notice it as much.
Agreed, and that's kind of my point as well. Never a good look to complain about refs when you were beat.
Blaming the refs for losses is and always has been one of the lamest things a fanbase can do. In a close second to that is saying that a higher power (conference, league, etc) hates and is conspiring against you.
I used to think that too until I stood there and listened to Dave Hall recount about 10 different ways he threw calls against USU because we wouldn't remove fans who were bothersome to him, causing us to lose a close game to SDSU. They do change games and sometimes they do it on purpose.

I was a Journalism Major, but long before you. Purely print and legacy media. US News has been around for about 80 years or so and used to have a print publication similar to Time and Newsweek.

Ad Fontes Media scale is purely subjective.

I’m sure it happens- just not as often as some of our fans think it does.

Why would you think that's necessary? Our Ahbye is professionally trained in observation and retention.


You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
