That would require the assumption that there is such a thing as a "work day" to HFNW.

Good point. It's usually a stretch to assume cougar fans are gainfully employed. I thought that perhaps he made the banner himself while working the swing shift at the Eugene Kinkos.

Leave it to a Yewt fan to overlook the possibility of being one's own boss. Not something most Yewts aspire to, I understand.

I didn't overlook it. I just played the odds and dismissed that possible option.

I would still think it was poor form and boorish if the roles were reversed and it was a Ute fan who went through all that planning and effort to get a cheap dig in on the Cougars as they were prepping to play a team other than mine.

But by the virtues of your actions you've endeared yourself to the mass of pricks on cougarboard who you hold in such high esteem. Good job.
Let's say a Ute got the chance to do something like this and did so.

This Ute would then endear himself to the mass of pricks that inhabit Utefans.com., who no one holds in high esteem.

I couldn't agree more. It was clever, funny, and in good taste. Why anybody actually cares is beyond me. Why on God's green earth did the dorks at Utefans get their knickers in a twist about it? Why do the twits on CB think this is the greatest thing they've ever seen?

Who aspires to being their own boss? The problem with that is you're either working for a pansy or an asshole.

It was a cheapshot. Nobody can deny that it was.

Whether it was a funny cheapshot or not depends on what color you wear during the week.

In that case, isn't pretty much ALL rivalry smack a cheapshot? At least this was football.
