I love the line "we know how to handle winning". I imagine that Ron from Kansas doesn't realize that the Shockers only understand winning in a snapshot in time, not long form history like the Utes.Originally posted by CardiacCoug View PostGet confident, stupid

Was that after a win? I don't remember.Originally posted by Hot Lunch View PostI wonder if it looked anything like this. All fan bases have them, yours included."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I doubt it looked anything like your video. The article said the fans were throwing glow sticks, the game was basketball played indoors and the projectiles were aimed at the players and not the officials.Originally posted by Hot Lunch View PostI wonder if it looked anything like this.

Not really. But it seems really odd to act like a bunch of asshats following a close victory over a team you rarely play.Originally posted by Hot Lunch View PostDoes it really matter?
Hack!Originally posted by Hot Lunch View PostSince you asked though and looking at the title of the video saying it was after a BYU/Utah game, it is safe to assume that it was not after a win."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Why would you expect Ute fans to act like something other than asshats?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostNot really. But it seems really odd to act like a bunch of asshats following a close victory over a team you rarely play.
Hack!"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

I don't really feel the need to protect the honor of all Ute fans (I leave that job to LA). However, I think Paul Sullentrop of the Wichita Eagle and Ron Keller of Kirby, Kansas may be overreacting. Towards the end of the game (while Utah was choking away a 9 point lead with under 2 to play) some stupid fan threw a glowstick on the court. Almost assuredly a BYU fan. Play was stopped and they cleared the floor and the crowd was given a warning. Or, as Thomas S. Monson would say, "Play was stopped, glowsticks were removed, and hearts were warmed."Originally posted by CardiacCoug View Post
If that is the extent of the "debris" thrown "at the WSU bench," I feel very confident in saying that the Utah fanbase remains the classiest in the nation.

Not all of us are on your level of righteousness. Lucky for me, there is a plan in place that allows me to improve every day. I just hope that one day I can get to your level. Unfortunately, you are so far ahead of me in that aspect I doubt it is possible.Originally posted by Moliere View PostWhy would you expect Ute fans to act like something other than asshats?"Take it to the Bank"
