Interesting perspective on the Utes from a USC fan!!

8/3/15 8:25am

I remember years ago mpfunk and others argued that the yewts didn't have fans

8/3/15 8:33am

Please find me a post were I argued that Utah

mpfunk

8/3/15 8:36am

Her point is that it is understated and people like you are dismissive of it

travelcoug

8/3/15 8:38am

I think it's both understated and overstated.

benny1982

8/3/15 8:39am

those BYU fans who you say overstate the problem are those who equate

What do you propose Ute fans do?

mpfunk

ManicBlue

purge their active fan base of the offenders. Stand for something

How do I prevent someone who dislikes the LDS church from purchasing

mpfunk

You can tell them to stop. Bullies stop when their own turn on them. If every

Don't act like this is a one way street. BYU has fans that contribute to

mpfunk

8/3/15 8:42am

What has Utah done to "take care of its house"?

Gustav

8/3/15 8:46am

Utah implemented the Fan Phone at the stadium

mpfunk

8/3/15 8:54am

Are there stadiums without that?

Gustav

8/3/15 9:08am

This only works if the fans are actually willing to report something.

CougarBacker

8/3/15 10:16am

Two year hiatus on the rivalry game to allow folks to cool down.

tribUTE

8/3/15 9:28am

At best that is a side-effect of the hiatus, but certainly not a reason for it.

cougarmeister

8/3/15 10:11am

Read the original post...are you also taking a 2 year hiatus from playing USC...

BYUFam1

Deal. We'll fix our leaky faucet

jbcoug

It's more than a leaky faucet.

mpfunk

8/3/15 8:51am

okay, we'll replace the whole sink. Now about the roach house...

Self righteous Mormon > drunk and blithering idiot

Flyingdolphin

OTOH, at least the one has alcohol as an excuse for being a blithering idiot.

foofcoug

8/3/15 8:50am

True. But I'd rather enjoy the game around people who at least try to control

Flyingdolphin

8/3/15 8:57am

I wish it was that simple of a problem. It isn't.

mpfunk

8/3/15 9:10am

Wait. It's BYU fan's fault that Utah fans are jerks to USC fans? Um...OK.

Eddie

8/3/15 8:51am

I was replying to the issue raised about

mpfunk

8/3/15 8:56am

They sure do. At a ratio of about 1:10 and not nearly as vulgar or violent

byutx

8/3/15 9:10am

Yeah, unbiased SI reporters went to the Holy War at BYU and Utah. Your argument

BYUCougarsFan

8/3/15 10:03am

BYU fans really are still trying to argue that Jeff Benedict is unbiased?

mpfunk

8/3/15 10:14am

And Ute fans are still in denial about how poorly they treat opposing fans.

BYUCougarsFan

8/3/15 10:19am

He's LDS, not a BYU grad and ran for Congress as a Democrat

jbcoug

8/3/15 10:20am

Mpfunk thinks that every Mormon should be a BYU fan. I agree.

she doesn't really have a point. it's one person's experience.

smokymountainrain

I grew up a die hard Ute fan and I'm speaking from my own experience also

cougar_chick1

Interesting. I've always had really positive and fun experiences. I could

Here is photographic proof of my former Ute fandom

cougar_chick1

You owe her an apology.

messi

Stop it. She doesn't need to prove anything to you or anyone else.

Ashtrash

8/3/15 9:56am

Ya'll are missing my point. Completely.

Eddie

8/3/15 10:18am

Yes, we're all missing the point. That has to be it.

messi

8/3/15 10:36am

Still? I even tried to explain it to you!

Eddie

8/3/15 11:12am

The reason I don't believe you is because of my own experience at Utah/USC

Right, but everyone else on here is?

I couldn't care less what you believe. I know what my experiences have been

CougarBacker

8/3/15 9:56pm

to be fair, I was at the game three years ago with a large group of USC fans.

Josef K

8/3/15 8:47am

I think a portion of the fanbase tries too hard to be the anti-BYU crowd

Have there been any BYU fans among those fans with whom you have discussed this?

I've had some really poor experiences at games at Utah... so it happens.

BYUCougarsFan

8/3/15 10:07am

I don't doubt that it does, but I don't think that it is fair to categorize

GSwarriorcoug

8/3/15 10:16am

these stories seem told as they actually happened. Good on you.

Utesplease

8/3/15 3:24pm

I will say that the game also makes a difference. I was at the 2004 game at RES

GSwarriorcoug

8/3/15 4:45pm

Yup. The idiots are much louder.

Utesplease

8/3/15 5:12pm

I've seen it too. I didn't want to believe it either, but it's sadly reality.

BYUCougarsFan

8/3/15 9:59am

A hair stylist told you that? LOL.

Virginia Ute

8/3/15 10:11am

I guess hair stylists can't be football fans?

cougar_chick1

8/3/15 10:14am

they can. They can also gossip and embellish stories.

Virginia Ute

8/3/15 10:24am

But fans on their rival's message board are much more credible

SpecialT

8/3/15 10:34am

Wow, that's low. Just proved the point.

runnincoug

Yeah everyone knows that hair stylists don't have elderly fathers

ManicBlue

Just another example of a Ute fan with his head in the sand

Oh No! Yewt fan doubts story of yewts behaving badly! What will we do!

Nah, I'm well aware of your Ute fan schtick. You play it well.

CougarBacker

You wish. You're the one taking time to respond on a rival's board.

You've replied to me about a half-dozen times here. I think you are worried

Virginia Ute

No, I'm laughing at you. Again, you're the one so worried that you take the time
