I can follow you there. There are some losers on both sides.
Not sure I can argue that there are more bad fans against the Utes though.
My parents are Aggies, Utes, and Wildcats. They never went to the Y. But we moved here when you did '77, and they now cheer for BYU, while hoping the others do well.
I went to the Utes/A&M game in College Station and rooted for the Utes. I've been to several. But I am blown away at the garbage and the way BYU and the fans are treated at RES. There's no way LES treats the Utes that bad. Some, of course...but no where near as many.
