Right when I was starting to think that the perception of uw fans was unfair...
From

"I've been around forever and can honestly say I hate BYU more than CSU. I can't stand anything about those f****rs. I was in the stands in the War Memorial Field House when the following happened on a regular basis. This is taken from an article in the Deseret News talking about how different teams treated their poor Cougars over the years (funny s***). For those Wyoming students who think the old days were a lot better, you better believe it, especially when it came to student participation. We didn't have to worry about security in those days. And somewhere in a box in my basement I have a "We are despicable" t-shirt. Here's a portion of the article:

"The biggest perpetrators - at least as far as BYU is concerned - are the Wyoming fans. In the old Wyoming basketball arena, the court was mounted on a dirt rodeo floor, lending an air of recklessness to the proceedings. Fans chanted anti-BYU obscenities en masse whenever the Cougars came to town.

Of course, nobody had more talent at attracting abuse than former BYU coach Frank Arnold. Arnold would call time out and glare into the crowd, attempting to point out to security officials which fan was throwing things at him. The moment he'd turn back, the abuse rose to the next level. Fans would hold pennies with tweezers, heating them up until they were red hot and then flip them at the BYU bench. Players were also pelted with rotten fruit, game programs and other materials.

Arnold became so disgusted with the behavior of Wyoming's fans, he termed the crowd "despicable." For years after Arnold left BYU, the Wyoming crowd would gleefully chant "We're despicable!" whenever BYU came to town.

When Ladell Andersen took over at BYU, he diffused the situation considerably by ignoring the crowds. It worked relatively well when fans learned they couldn't get Andersen to turn around. As the years passed, the malicious catcalls were kept to a minimum."

He is legitimately glorifying violence and intolerance... and longing for the days when their backwards traditions were acceptable
