And that's why there is so much hate for our fan base

No. To hope the school you attend is victories in a football match with BYU

Just saying I see it, not that it is right. I find it strange.

My guess he is not a "good active LDS Member". Sounds like a jack yewt

Huge difference between 'feeling forced to root for' and a vicious hatred.

Unfortunately the "Ute Family Tradition" is growing rapidly in Salt Lake......

Funny how that trend parallels a surging anti-LDS and liberal progressive trend
