Sane.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostI wasn't necessarily implying that your were making fun of it. It was just more generally speaking.
And if I were you, I suppose I could think there was an identity crisis as well, though as a Ute fan, I see no identity crisis at all. One of us likes to dress like a pirate to go with the pirate ship he created; most all fans (and players) flash the U with our hands; BYU is our rival, Colorado is a manufactured rival by the conference; the only people who think we are hawks are those politically correct pinheads who have decided that we need an alternative mascot so as to not offend the Ute tribe, despite the fact that the Ute tribe has no problem with the school calling themselves the Utes.I think, perhaps, the only person who hates BYU fans more than ute fans hate BYU fans, is Bronco Mendenhall.

(He is also one hell of a talented carpenter if anybody is looking - did a beautiful job on my brother's kitchen, dining room, and deck remodel)Originally posted by Surfah View PostWhat's the deal with pirates? I thought you guys were Utes. But you're also hawks. And now pirates?
In other news, up here we have a HUGE contingent of weekend pirates who put on the regalia for parades, etc, starting back in 1949. At Seafair they 'land' on the shores of Alki Beach in a Higgens boat to officially begin Seafair. They also have a WWII-era DUKW done up like a pirate ship for the parades. A DUKW is the ultimate bad-ass vehicle.

And the Higgins:
