  • My fellow BYU fans, do I really

    deserve the hate for liking Utah. Thinking Whitt is a great guy. For getting along well with my friends who are Utes.

    I root for BYU vs Utah. However, does my positive feelings about Utah make me a less fan.

    I really got hurt and attacked for stating such on CB. I again was surprised with the narrow minds that exist over there. Someone called me purple. Now that is an attack. However, I just politely referred to that as evidence of a dumb fan.

    Of course my post got deleted and the first rock throwers didn't.

    I am not whining here, I just want to explain why I am posting here, because I can't there, that Huskerfan2 is a jackass of a moderator.

    I have enough good friends that are Utes that I don't hate them like I used to. Certainly things change the week of the rivalry game, but overall my interactions with most Ute fans are pretty good-natured.

    There are always those fans that make it hard though.. Both sides have them..

      The only thing worse than a troll is one who complains when he gets treated like one.

        Hi Gaddeus. I'm going to guess that you followed that link to Killer Dog's post from CB. Am I right?
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          I was once ill-branded here for my passive support of the Utes in the sugar bowl. That was here on CUF, the supposed 'different' board.

            Well that would indeed be the case. But it was also the first time I have logged onto Cougarboard in probably 2 years. That place terrifies me most of the time.

              I knew it!

              You are in the right place.

                Having not lived in Utah for years, the UofU is practically a non-entity in my life except for rivalry week. There is one UofU fan in my ward and he is about as cool of a person as you can find so in most cases I find myself cheering for Utah rather than against them, although I'll admit that I rarely watch a Utah game.
                "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

                  You deserve heavy doses of hatred for admitting to liking the U. Saying Whitt is a great guy? Nothing wrong with that. Getting along with your friends who are Utes? Nothing wrong with that either.

                    You also root for Weber State?

                    As to your main point - no, I too tend to wish the best for the U except when they are competing against the Y

                    I may be small, but I'm slow.

                      One persons troll is another persons asking inciteful questons and answering honestly.

                      This is not a trolling question. When someone suggest over there everyone should hate Utah or root against them and I have a differing opinion. Should I just not express it because it will upset the extremists.



                      On the other hand, I will admit I don't mind when it sets them off. Perhaps that is trolling.

                          There are many people who started out as deliberate trolls, not believing what they were posting but trying to get a rise out of people. The danger with that is that over time, they ended up becoming the people there were initially only pretending to be.

                          Step back from the edge.

                            UOhio, I don't like him all that much.

                            I'm part of the problem, not part of the solution.
                            Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

                            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                              That's what I have always liked about you Indy. You keep on talking even while your head is up your butt.
