My game day thoughts.......

[fuegote]

The only obnoxious thing I did was dress my family in red. I get to pick what my family wears once a year so.....

I'm a dork.

I was ten minutes late to the game, and by then all of the elderly ladies had already been kicked over and all of the kids had already been sprayed with beer. I was pissed that nobody saved one for me.

When are you coming to town?

[RockyBalboa]

There were 4 guys in Y gear sitting about 4 rows in front of us (how they got these tickets, I don't know).

I made it a point to walk by and wish them a good game so that I could counter the complete nut jobs out there. They were nice guys.

I know how much you hate the rivalry more than anybody, which is why I wish I'd sat by you. Would've been nice to be surrounded by at least one level headed Non-Shitfaced drunk.

I think you would've been sickened at what we encountered from the minute we left our car to the minute we got back.

I need to make it clear that I expect to get some ribbing when I go to RES during the rivalry game decked in Blue BYU gear.

I expect a few things to be said here and there. It's all good.

I even expected things to be a little moreso than normal because of the stakes of last nights game, and the increased level of hatred of Yewt "fans" towards BYU in the past couple of years.

I have a very thick skin as evidenced by my not responding to anyone last night.

But even last night went beyond what I thought it would. 2 years ago when someone was getting out of line, sometimes you'd hear Ute fans calling that person and telling them to shut up. But last night it seem to be a throwing gas on the fire effect where I was. One person would say something, and instead of others telling him to quit being an ass, it seemed to embolden others around to join in. It was almost a moblike mentality.

Next year when we have a Senior QB in our stadium putting the clincher on a fantastic year by beating them in RES I don't plan on being accomodating like I have been in the past.

Garth and Fuegote have both met me and I'd think they'd know I'm not the type to start shit when I'm at a game. Fuegote has even been to a game at LES with me, and the only crap we started was calling Bucko and LiveCoug homos when they were sitting a few rows beneath us.

[All-American]

For every loser Utah fan I encountered, there were two Utah fans apologizing.

You know what, though, the loser fans are one of the things that make a rivalry great. Are there any Utah fans out there who will even try to convince us that a small part of their joy was sticking it to the zoobs? We certainly took great pleasure in ripping out Utah's hearts two years in a row, knowing the loser fans were finally getting their comeuppance.

It's just one more reason why we fight extra hard when THEY line up against us. It's one more reason why college football is the greatest sport in the world.

[LiveCoug]

Why is Rocky's story so unbelievable, Brian? Have you ever been a BYU fan at the big game in SLC? Nope, you haven't. Is it all fans? Of course not. Did what Rocky relate really happen? I sure believe it.

[Coach McGuirk]

let me know and we can all hook up. I am not a small man, CJ can vouch for that. Of course 3 guys against 40,000.....

[Mormon Red Death]

I believe Rocky... I spent most of the 1st half doing the same thing... except I was only doing it to old fans in wheelchairs. I would dump them over then dump beer on them and then drop fbombs in front of their 7 year olds.

obviously I kid... My family has season tickets and the people behind them are always drunk and dropping fbombs like crazy. Of course Utah is hardly alone in unruly fan behavior.

[cougjunkie]

I'm 6'2, but not big, only 195...so how about 2 years from now we sit together at RES?

Sounds good, strength in numbers.

The funny thing is we walked to the game with about 10 of us. Everytime someone said something they picked on the smallest guy.

[RockyBalboa]

Rocky,

After seeing that guy completely lose his mind, I believe you 100%. TripletDaddy was with me so he can vouch that this guy was going crazy. Also I am not sure that we passed a single Ute fan that didnt have something to say.

The good thing about me is that I am a pretty big dude so I dont get messed with to often. In fact I had a guy behind me running his mouth a lot, I turned around and said something to him and he was quiet the rest of the game.

Junkie, my experience was completely different than yours.

I'd share the story here, but I'm sure the Ute fans will just counteract with..."Well there's idiots on both sides."

My brother and I stay composed and didn't talk any smack all night long and the treatment we received was the worst I've ever encountered in my life.

It started with having full cans of beer thrown at us as we were walking to the stadium on the sidewalk by the Guardsman Parking Lot towards the game...and that was just for starters. One missed hurtling by my head by just a few inches. We were inundated with an endless stream of "Fuck You's" and other creative ways to implement the F-bomb into it. People flipping us off. People even going so far as to walk down from where they were tailgating and yelling 3 inches from our face doing mock punches....threatening physical violence and asking us if our "Magic Underwear" was going to help us tonight.

We were planning on walking up to the Pirate Ship to say hi to a few Ufner's that had invited me, but after that there was no way I was going to walk through that hornets nest.

That was just for starters. It was just as bad where were sitting. One lady came and sat down next to my brother and said "I fucking hate you you motherfucking piece of shit. You're a fucking joke and I hope you fucking die and get your fucking ass kicked." My brother just kinda laughed and turned away from her.

One guy that had his very young child hoisted on his shoulders came and punched my brother in the back 3 times while yelling obscenities in his ear.

And trust me when I tell you those were only a small handful of the examples of what we encountered last night. It got to the point where it was dangerous to be in our section.

Yes it's true there are goobers on both sides of the rivalry, but no one can ever convince me the level of contempt and hatred on The U side towards BYU is matched the other way.

Even some of my U friends said they've never seen so many hammered and drunk Yewt "fans" than they did yesterday.

They lived up to their earned and deserved stereotype and then some.

One of my brothers who is a hardcore Ute fan suggest I write a letter to Chris Hill detailing the experience I had and I just laughed that notion off.

I'm sorry to hear about that Rocky, but let me say for the 76345473492393475498084765594735595th time, those are the assholes that only show up once every other year at a Utah football game.

I realize you understand that and can certainly understand your frustration.

Don't laugh off your brother's suggestion. Hill is not the anti-Mormon so many zoobs believe him to be. If enough folks from both sides let him know that the anti-Mormon crap has to be shut down, he'll do what he can to stop it.

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.

[RockyBalboa]

CJ has a nice time, you don't. Maybe it's not them, maybe it's you.

It wasn't us. We didn't say anything back all night long. We kept our mouths shut and never responded back to anything. Given the hostility of the environment it obviously wouldn't have been wise to ratchet things up, so we didn't.

2 years ago wasn't that bad. Even the U fans around us, save for a few, were pretty cool to us and would even pipe up and tell other U fans to shut up when they would start making asses out of themselves.

Last night was different.

It's okay and irrelevant if you don't believe me. I'm not interested in getting into a back n forth with you, as your trolling responses were and are predictable.

Have at it.
