My game day thoughts.......

[DrumNFeather]

Is there anyone who really believes that Utah and BYU are not the two dorkiest fanbases in the land? Trully we deserve each other. Equally yoked.

Harvard and Yale perhaps?

[LA Ute]

The two fan bases deserve each other. The most amusing part of it is that neither side recognizes that they have made each other who they are.

Il Padrino, that is one of the most elegant statements of BYU-Utah reality I have ever seen.

Hey Joe Cool, you got any idea what suffocating feels like?

Honestly, any BYU fan who did not see this coming was a fool. I am not justifying whatever boorish behavior occurred, but given how the past two games ended and the taunting/signs at airports/signs at bowl games etc., that occurred one had to know that there would be a shortage of KY Jelly at WalMarts all across SL County as Max Hall threw his 3rd, 4th and 5th interceptions.

When the dust settles I do hope that some of the Ute pussies whining about BYU coaches or players physically abusing them are really true. The most optimistic I got about next year was when Adam Rich nailed the shit out of Brandon Godfrey and got that helmet to helmet penalty. I would like to think that the club has a little Danite spirit in them. If you are a fan and you taunt a player on the field of play I think if the player beats the living shit out of you, the world probably becomes a better place. I doubt the law agrees with me or even God himself, but I am of the opinion that a good asswhoopin can be very beneficial for individuals and mankind.

It is more fun to read after BYU won however as one can drop some match on that kerosene and watch the Utefan piss and moan about suffocating self righteousness and the justification of abuse...or something like that.

I agree with most everything you've posted here, save your last paragraph. I think it's more fun to hear the Y fans reaction to how their team lost the game, rather than the fact that Utah outplayed the Y. It's also fun to hear stories about the boorish behavior of Ute fans. (I'm not saying it doesn't happen and this year I have had confirmation from Ute fans that it did happen, but generally, it's embellished beyond belief.)

And you are correct. The two fan bases deserve each other. The most amusing part of it is that neither side recognizes that they have made each other who they are.

It's all cool. Read brian's "explanation."

I am going to plainly say what others have only alluded to:

The (alleged) behavior of Ute fans is not even worthy to enter the pantheon of boorishness that accompanies the Red Sox/Yankees series. Or, frankly, any NY team and a rival.

Considering your average BYU thinks bad behavior is not getting your hometeaching done.

Now when Jaimie Hill is beating down women and children......

My brother-in-law attended the game with his brother. They are two of the absolute most mild-mannered guys you would ever meet - I can confidently say that there is no way they were instigating anything. They were wearing blue, of course.

I hadn't said anything to him prior to the game about what to expect there, and he is not a message board reader. On Monday he reported to me that it was absoultely the worst he has been treated anywhere or at any time. Guys right up in his face as they walked into the stadium, yelling obscenities. As they tried to get through the packed tunnel on the way to their seats, he was repeatedly hit in the back and sides. When they were in their seats, there were 4 guys behind them that were obviously drunk. They kept up the insults and obscenities, and hit them in the back with some sort of nerf tubes they had. My brother-in-law said he didn't even cheer at all because he didn't want to invite more trouble. Eventually the guys got up and left to "start some shit" with some BYU fans a section over that were actively cheering.

My BIL left with about a minute to go in the game, because they didn't want to get caught in a crowd after the game was over. He said there is no way he'll attend another game there.

Take it for what it's worth.

Sorry to sound like your Young Men advisor, but that makes it sound like you have have decided to become part of the problem yourself now, rather than part of the solution.

Rocky, get me a ticket for next year's game and I'll gladly take the abuse to make up for what happened on Saturday.

[il Padrino Ute]

I saw Rocky before the game and he told me this story. So I heard it from his mouth prior to kickoff so I don't think the outcome played on his thoughts and experience.

Understood.

I am aware of the group that gave him problems and the majority of those are people who I'd never seen this season in the lot. I tailgate next to that group that was giving Rocky hell.

[RockyBalboa]

I don't believe it is. That is how they consider it a "neutral" site for the BBall tourney.

I may be wrong on that venue, but that is the CFB rule.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the T&M is on campus, even if it's considered to not be "on campus".

Beer and alcohol can be sold at stadiums not on campus.

That is why UNLV can sell at their events.

That is one reason they have the OU/Texas game at the fairgrounds...

Is the Thomas and Mack not considered on campus?

One quick question: how much of a difference in your thoughts compared to 2 years ago is there based on the outcome of the game? It's a lot easier to forget the crap when your team wins.
