U vs. Y '12

[smokymountainrain]

Wait, ox, KC, and MG -- Others here have said these stories about RES were all made up. Your posts suggest that RES might not be hospitable to certain visitors, or that at least you think so. Which is it?

[LA Ute]

I could tell you about my experiences at RES, but LAUte's beneveloent posts in this thread have convinced me not to air dirty laundry.

I apologize for whatever things idiot Ute fans did or said to you when you were at RES. The U. really does want to do better.

[Portland Ute]

You must be confused, the game is at Utah, they never have lines at their sporting events.

You are wrong, sir.

There are LONG lines for the bathrooms at RES.

If a message to do better is equal to an admission of guilt and necessary of an apology, then I guess we should assume that all those people that tune into LDS general conference really are nothing more than a hot mess in their personal lives.

Correct. And it is a pain to get into the stadium during the 30 minutes before the game starts.

Meanwhile:

Nelson said he wonders sometimes what would have happened had he gone to Utah.

"You know what?" he said this week. "I have thought about it. I wouldn’t get guff for growing my hair long if I was up there."

What is the line on the game?

BYU is giving 4 pts to the Utes...

Not as good as the 14 Heaps gave us last year

You know, this is one of my biggest aggravations with going to games at RES.

There is NO reason they could not get people into the stadium more efficiently.

On the east side, there are various gates that go unopened and unused. It's ridiculous.

The bathroom situation just doesn't bother me much unless I've got my kids in tow. I can pee before the game and make it until the end of the game. My prostate isn't shot just yet. Worst case, I drink a ton of diet caffeinated beverage and I have to leave during a TV time out in the 3rd quarter and nobody is there.

But the entrance process.....GRRR!!!

My annual troll of LAU reminder of what the game in 09 was like, as reported by the wife of a Utah player.

FTR, I think that year was the perfect storm of hype, everything riding on the line, and hostility from both sides. I highly doubt it will be like this Saturday, nor hopefully ever again, at either stadium.

BAD EXPERIENCE:You know I was very disappointed in the Utah fans. It got to a point where I was almost embarrassed to be wearing RED. I couldn't believe the amount of disrespect, discrimination and violence at the game. It really was unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, GO UTES! But shame on their fans. Keep in mind we were sitting right next to the drunken student section. I will be sure to find better seats next year. And of course it is not ALL fans that are drunk and repulsive, it was just a handful. Most ute fans are a lot more tasteful and boast in good fun. Displaying hilarious pranks and jokes like this: ha ha! I was laughing so hard when I saw this, that is great!
But then there are those fans who display poor, unfortunate behavior as I am about to describe now....

As the game was coming to an end the BYU fans were taking off early. (I don't blame them) As they were leaving the U fans were dumping their drinks on them, throwing their popcorn and candy at them, it was horrible. There was even an older gentleman, probably in his late 70's, sporting a BYU hat. I mean this guy had a cane and needed someone to assist him down the bleachers. I honestly got teary eyed as I watched the drunken student section harass him and mock him, along with anyone wearing blue. How disrespectful. I mean come on, we are all humans and should have respect for those around us. If the U of U players saw this behavior they wouldn't support it for one second. So why are the fans so bad?? Because they are trying to prove a point to BYU. The sad thing, is they are not proving anything excpet that U of U has a horrible reputation.

My dad and brother came to the game with us and they sported their royal blue true and true. On the way out of the game a drunk Utah fan mocked them the entire long walk to our car. You know what? "Mocked" is not even the word to describe it. This guys was bringing religion, proposition 8, and personal morals and values into it. He was completely crossing the line and he didn't care. There is a huge difference with poking fun, and being completely distasteful and attacking an individual on a personal level. Football had nothing to do with it! It took everything in my power to bite my tongue. Saying anything more to him would have only continued to feed his fire. "F. U. BYU" is getting a little old guys. It is hard to watch anyone get treated so ghastly, but when watching some one talk to your family member like that! It made me sick. Good for you **** and Dad for supporting your Cougars with class!

I have never in my life felt so uncomfortable in one place. I will NEVER attend a Utah/BYU game again. Sorry *****, I think I would enjoy games like this from the comfort of my own home. It is too bad that a small crowed like that can ruin the fun for everyone. People like that give Utah a bad name.... I am genuinely disappointed. "GO UTAH!!, SHAME ON THE FANS!"

This all happened in 2009? The drunken student section travelled to BYU?

The 2009 game was in LaVell Edwards Stadium, so obviously you are making all of this up.

I have a question about betting on football games. Is betting for a football game like parimutuel betting on horseracing - the line moves until betting is ceased and you don't really know the what the spread is actually going to be until all betting is halted? Or if the line was BYU - 4 when you made your bet, your individual bet gives Utah 4 regardless of where the spread may go after your bet was made?

Just wondering how it works...

My bad. I obviously confused the date of the game with actual parade

Parade smack is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

This is how it works
