last night at the BYU game on instagram and got a couple of friends and in-laws writing "Go Utes" as a response. I thought that was odd since a) I had no idea what time the Utes finished their game when I made that post, b) I didn't mention anything about Utah in the post, and c) I still have no idea what the relevance was of the picture I posted to these Ute fans.
Anyway, that is a meander. Yes, being a fan does not require hatred of the rival, nor a lust for the rival's demise.
