but I have never felt threatened. I just gave them a little friendly smack talk back and it was all good. Then again I was with a good sized group of BYU fans. So it might be different for fans that are by themselves.

It's amazing how thin skinned and emotionally fragile some of our BYU fans are..

Depends on where your seats would be.

Chambana Coug

9/6/16 6:51am

Agree with this. Pricey sideline seats in a Ute booster section may be ok too.

korihor

It also depends on how you act in the rivalry game.

Chambana Coug

9/6/16 6:59am

this is the reason I wouldn't take her. My behavior is suspect.
